       This group is to cater for posts about the fiction Genre [LITerature Role   
       Playing Games] which has been around for a decade or more but has   
       been confined to relatively obscure corners of the internet, although in   
       the last year or two, a growing number of books in this Genre have   
       been published on Amazon, almost exclusively as self-published works.   
      
       The concept is simple in principle but plays out in many different ways in   
       the various stories included in the genre. At it's core the idea is that   
       the characters in the story have access to a smaller or larger number of   
       aspects of game play features. Classically, this involves their being some   
       sort  of a "System" and that aspects of the character are displayed in   
       "Blue Boxes". There are numerous variations of this, but this is the most   
       ubiquitous. The character then has a way of tracking in "real life" their   
       attributes and skills, doing various things to "level up" or improve   
       themselves.   
      
       One of the variations is that of the "Dungeon Core", which has started to   
       form a sort of sub-genre, then there are the cross-over elements from    
   Wuxia   
       ,   
        Chinese "Light Novels" and other forms that bear close similarity in   
       spirit. These can be generally classified under the broad term of   
       "Cultivation" stories.   
      
       This Conference is designed to be a place to Discover, Discuss, Review and   
       even post these stories.   
      
       *Group Usage*   
      
       The intention is that posts to the group should be tagged in the subject   
       line. As things progress, we might have to refine this process, but for    
   now   
      
       this is how it should work.   
      
         - Normal discussion posts   - nothing special   
         - Story Review                        - Start the subject with [REVIEW]   
         - Story Announcements        - [ANNOUNCEMENT:Story Title]   
         - Story Chapter posts             - [Story Title:Chapter Title]   
      
      
       My wish is that everyone should enjoy the conference and possibly   
       discover something new to read.
