Our special exhibit, Level Up: Writers & Gamers, explores how Americans use role-playing and video games to define and respond to our culture. The exhibit guides visitors into the world of game writing, from the 1970s to the present. Some of the games featured include Dungeons & Dragons, Zork, Apocalypse World, Baldur’s Gate III, and game writers from the last 50 years, such as Michael Pondsmith, Porpentine, and Tanya DePass.

Level Up: Writers & Gamers was a temporary exhibit at the American Writers Museum. You can still access its virtual exhibit for free!
Missed Level Up while it was on display? No problem! On the AWM website, you can dive into different forms of game writing, learn about influential games and writers from the last 50 years, and explore ways you can be part of the story. Our online version of this exhibit features exclusive bonus content that was not on view in the museum. The Level Up online component complements one of our most popular temporary exhibits in a new and exciting way.
Thank you to those who worked with the Museum to make Level Up: Writers & Gamers a reality.
