Congratulations. You unlocked the achievement *Oshkosh Library Achievement Unlocked: You Found Other People to Talk To*. The reward is the crushing realization that you needed a public librarian to arrange a playdate for you.
The Oshkosh Public Library is hosting an in-person meetup for fans of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. This is not a crawl. This is not a sponsored event. This is a group of people in Wisconsin sitting in a room, presumably indoors, to discuss a book about a man and his cat murdering goblins in a death dungeon. This is what we call the bare minimum of community engagement. If you have ever complained that you have no one to talk to about the series, you have no excuse now. The library did your job for you. For context on the quality of the material they will discuss, you can revisit our Book Six Review: The Eye of the Bedlam Bride Barely Worth Your Time. You will need it to prepare for the inevitable argument about whether the Bedlam Bride arc dragged.
This event, reported by WLUK, is a public notice. It is not a press release from Matt Dinniman. It is not a Peacock announcement. It is a library flyer. The practical meaning for you, the reader, is that you can now attend a gathering where you will be forced to make eye contact with other humans and say words out loud. The related article about Audiobook Narrator Explains Why Princess Donut Is More Than a Joke is useful here because it gives you a script. You can walk into the Oshkosh library and, with a straight face, argue that a talking cat voiced by Jeff Hays is a serious character. The library will not stop you. The librarian will probably nod politely.
The event does not feature Quasar. The event does not feature Mongo. The event does not feature any lawsuit or contract terms. It is a book club. The one concrete takeaway for our readers is this: if the Oshkosh meetup draws a crowd, you will see the exact same fanbase that demanded Jeff Hays voice Princess Donut in the show, as covered in our article Jeff Hays to Voice Princess Donut in Show After Fan Demand. That means the people in that room are the ones who made the casting happen. They are the ones who will show up for the Peacock adaptation. They are the ones who will complain that the show is not the audiobook. And they are the ones who now have a place to gather and form a local cult of personality around Princess Donut. Watch the Oshkosh library calendar. If they schedule a second meeting, the cult has a headquarters.
