You know what RPGs are, you heard at length of LARPs, but what is an art RPG or ARPG? How is making art turned into a game? Can getting points for drawing/writing make you better at your craft? Why is it more motivating than social media engagement? This talk will explore the world of ARPGs and why they are awesome using two internet-based games as examples.

Content warnings: The talk will feature discussion of ghosts and passing mentions on why ghosts have ended the way they are.
