The stories we tell in LitRPG matter.
They matter because they take us on journeys, without leaving our own imaginations.
They matter because somewhere between the first quest and the final boss, they remind us that becoming stronger, kinder, braver – more ourselves – is possible.
They matter because they help us remember that failure is not the end of the story, that fellowship can be found in the unlikeliest corners of the map, and that shared passions and wonder have the power to bring strangers together and make them companions.
LitRPG is built on the idea that transformation is possible, whether through reaching the top of the highest tower or the bowels of the deepest dungeon.
Created exclusively for LitRPG Con 2026, this evening’s performance has been crafted as a celebration of a genre that has fought, quested, and carved its way into the hearts of millions…
… One hard-earned level at a time.
We thank you for joining us as we continue the climb.
And the crawl.

Join us for an interactive LitRPG trivia showdown where audience members and panelists compete side by side for glory, loot, and bragging rights. Play along from your seat using your phone while our panel of authors, narrators, and media guests tackle questions live on stage with plenty of banter, surprises, and questionable answers along the way. Between rounds, embark on Side Quests for bonus rewards, sponsored giveaways, and unexpected challenges that might have you singing, storytelling, or proving your fandom in front of the crowd. Not the show off type? Feel free to play along quietly from your seat and enjoy the show!
