Playing With Books

  • L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library, Riverview Room 400 Eau Claire Street Eau Claire, WI, 54701 United States (map)

Matt Forbeck

Co-sponsored by the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library.

Join New York Times-bestselling author and award-winning game designer Matt Forbeck for a discussion of the intersection of stories and games and how they interact in books. Having written novels, comics, encyclopedias, and video games, Forbeck returned to his game design roots to focus on games that you can play with books. By way of example, he talks about two of his latest projects: a Minecraft game book series called Minecraft: Roll for Adventure and the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game line.
