SUMMARY:Let’s Read For Fun: Dungeon Crawler Carl\, by Matt Dinniman
LOCATION:Stoup Brewing - Capitol Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 31% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nWow Funners\, here it is at last: OurAugust read for fun 
 is NYTimes best-seller Dungeon Crawler Carl\, by local author Matt Dinnima
 n!\n\nBefore we go into what it is about\, some trigger warnings:\n\nthe e
 nd of the world and humanity\ntalk shows\, reality tv\ngoblin babies\ndrug
 -dealing llamas\na horny AI with a distinct foot fetish\n\nThe basic premi
 se is that on a snowy January night in Seattle\, the world ends. Carl is b
 arely dressed and chasing his ex-girlfriend's trophy winning cat (Princess
  Donut) outside\, when space aliens arrive and all buildings and structure
 s on earth are flattened with most of humanity inside of them.\n\nSo the c
 at kinda saves his life.\n\nTunnels open up for the surviving humans\, so 
 they can enter the very first level of a reality TV show broadcast across 
 the universe. The survivors are forced to go to deeper levels before the p
 revious level is flattened after a fixed amount of time\; each level requi
 res that they become stronger\, more talented\, And / or more devious.\n\n
 So Carl and Princess Donut (who now can speak or at least Carl can underst
 and her) are paired up as a team of fighters and must use their innate tal
 ents to survive as they accrue weapons and experience.\n\nThis is Carl and
  Donut's adventure\, and it is bonkers good fun. You don’t have to know ab
 out role-playing games (or video games for that matter)\, the adventure be
 comes sort of self-explainatory\; and the horny AI is often there to expla
 in everything and make a pass at our heroes.\n\nDungeon Crawler Carl is a 
 hugely popular book and might be difficult to check out from the library\,
  so put a hold on it NOW. It is a fast read\, however.\n\nAs always\, you 
 don’t have to finish the book to come to the meet-up\, but there will be s
 poilers (there always are)\, so please forgive us.\n\nOh\, memorize this e
 xclamation: “Dammit\, Donut!”
