Get Ready for Living Library!

Posted by Kim on November 1, 2025, 9:00am

Next weekend, starting on Friday the 7th, we'll be kicking off the Living Library event!

Players interested in becoming "books": pick a unique aspect about yourself. (As per RPR's rules, religious and political topics should be avoided.) It may be cultural heritage, a niche hobby, an unusual profession, etc.

For example:
  • self-employed basket weaver
  • Lakota heritage
  • kayak marathoner
  • raptor rehabilitator
  • 5 years with Parkinson's disease

Other members will then be able to peruse the "books" by asking appropriate, good-faith questions in their topics.
This event will kick off next weekend, so use this time to think about what kind of subject you might be interested in being a "book" on! :)

This is an OOC even for players. We will delete topics started by characters for this event. :)

@Storm_Hazel If I'm not mistaken, the Living Library event is entirely OOC and is all about sharing your lived experience, as a real person, with people who may want to know more for whatever reason.

You can see what it looked like last year here. Things can change, of course, but we'll know more soon! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Does it have to be realistic, or are fantasy jobs and hobbies for characters allowed?

Sincerest apologies! We'll kick off on Friday the 7th >.>

The living library has historically always been the second weekend of November, so more than likely it was a typo! I think it's safe to assume it starts on the 8th this year. :)

I think it must be copied from another year 😁
