Creepy AI, a Magical Cat and a Sadistic Game Show - Why We're Obsessed with Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

On today's Roundtable episode, we're diving into the bonkers world of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. We chat about the utterly unique chaos of this series and how it weaves together themes of AI, colonisation and reality TV against a backdrop of an alien invasion, a deadly progression game and a talking cat. We also discuss the rise of the Lit RPG genre and the crossover appeal that pulls in gamers, non-gamers and fantasy fans alike. And, most important of all, we reveal our favourite characters and why we're all joining the Royal Court of Princess Donut.
