Reverend Matt’s Monster Science: They Might Be Halflings - A History of Player Character Species 2022 CONvergence Guest of Honor Reverend Matt returns to the Mainstage with a compact history of non-human adventurers in role-playing games! From the days when “Elf” was a character class (and Gary Gygax was grumpy about it), through to the modern day, where every single character is maybe a pony! Mutant animals! Moody vampires! Various humanoid ducks! At least two whole games where everybody is a dinosaur in outer space! And much, much more! Tons of information about the history of role-playing games, plus so many comedy jokes, and even PowerPoint! Participants: Matthew Kessen
