A couple of weeks ago, the “New Approaches to Older Fiction” panel from Flights of Foundry 2023 went live on YouTube. The panelists talked about classic works that are no longer under copyright and different ways in which those can be made more accessible to modern people. They had a ton of fun tossing around […]
