Crit Lit

For nerdy readers who are curious about the world. For those who find everything interesting. For those who find themselves browsing Wikipedia for fun. For those who enjoy the serendipity of life, and see the connections between everything.

Crit Lit - A small information store (because print, while not dead, isn’t the exclusive locus of knowledge) where you can come in, and find something interesting to learn. Each month we’ll curate 20 works on a theme. You walk in, grab a D20, and whatever you roll, you buy and read, or just get assigned to read if it’s free, that’ll probably be #20 (a crit hit). Could be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, history, science, ethnography, monograph, anything. There’s some larger theme to you being a member of a shop like this, you’re exploring your way through a maze or dungeon, connecting dots, acquiring knowledge or ‘items’, building (a) character. Maybe once in a while there’s a fun event/end-game activity, and then you start anew. It’s the gaming of Dungeons and Dragons, with an entirely different set of real world beneficial activities; reading, learning, sharing, etc.

*Edit: I have never played Dungeons and Dragons.
