Overview

""Tender, earnest, and completely original."" Sean Doolittle, author of Device Free Weekend Glimrick Therrinbottom, humble bard and devoted LARPer, is on a noble quest to defeat the legendary Rogue of Bulafar-until he's unceremoniously kicked out of his group for keeping the wrong company. That ""wrong company"" is Carcrash Parker: pop culture fanatic, vintage video game hoarder, and high school nostalgia addict who wouldn't be caught dead in a foam sword fight. When Carcrash's beloved Commodore 64 goes missing, the unlikely duo sets off on a not-so-epic journey to get it back. But what begins as a simple retrieval mission spirals into a bizarre adventure that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, threatening both their worlds. Equal parts Kevin Smith and J.R.R. Tolkien, Carcrash Parker and the Haven of Larpers is a hilarious, heartfelt collision of old-school fantasy, '80s and '90s cult classics, and the magic of friendship. Get ready for a genre-bending quest like no other.
