Mons! That’s hilarious.
Awesome, thank you!
I’d love to read a LitRPG that features Pokémon-style pet battling. What are my options?
So you’re essentially saying that new readers need the explanation, and experienced LitRPG fans care about the fine distinctions of the system...
Great point. I think the answer varies depending whether you’re writing something aimed at the existing fanbase or hoping to bring in new readers.
As it happens, I read the free preview of Hack recently (haven’t had a chance to get the real thing yet) and I agree that it opens with a strong,...
This is definitely my instinct, which is why I was curious to hear thoughts on this question. I’ve seen some LitRPG where the opening is a...
More likely I would just start within the game already, and explain aspects of it as necessary. But if I had some “real world” setup stuff...
Readers, I’m curious. Do you think there’s still a need for LitRPG books to spend time at the beginning explaining the FIVR/sensurround/whatever...

Now you’re speaking my language! I’ve got that replica box and it’s pretty gorgeous. (To be fair, it was a gift.) Except the dice they include are...
@Windfall Aha, that makes total sense. Thanks!
Just to spanner the works further— who’s the target audience for this system? Is it existing LitRPG readers who want to be able to pick their...
You don’t drink of the forbidden hair juice?
This is something I would read! I've done a little work on a black powder/Age of Fighting Sail RPG setting for D&D, but WWI-era tech would also...
For me, it's all about Final Fantasy VI (originally released as Final Fantasy III in the US). I still consider this the best video game of all...
I think my question on this scale is where you draw the lines. Really it's the delineation between 4 and 5 that I'm not sure of— though that may...
