Hi, I recently joined and wanted to introduce myself. I have scouted around the forum today and enjoyed reading everyone's posts. Lot's of energy and creativity floating around. I have recently gotten into the genre and have thoroughly enjoyed a lot of the series. I want to take a hand at some writing myself and am looking forward to hopefully sharing that in the future. I enjoyed earning the below badge today, and acted accordingly in hot-footing it to the bank! I will make sure to watch out for skullduggery and pickpockets Making Money Now Experience Points: 5 You've amassed a small fortune and not banked it. Brave! Looking forward to chatting with you!
Welcome to our corner of insanity in the realm of the interwebs. Feel free to join in and make things interesting.
Hi DJ; thanks Felicity. Funny enough, I made the new handle when setting up my PokemonGo account with the kids, I thought it was kinda funny. I have always enjoyed rangers. Good question on the inspiration. I have read so many in the past 6 months! I have to admit that The Land got me hooked, plain talked LitRPG Since then I have found a lot more that inspire me; Fayroll, Awaken Online, Viridian Gate...I enjoy the characters and worlds first; the game mechanics second. How about you?
Thanks John; every book has pros and cons; It brought back memories of playing paper and pencil RPG's rather than video games, which I am not as familiar with. I think that was part of the draw for me. For the novel I am outlining it also takes the path of a terran traveling to another world where the laws of the universe are expressed as game mechanics. Some of the questions on the forum have really hit on some of the issues and decision points for my story.
Welcome welcome! I saw Pokemon and immediately thought... Pokemon could make for a cool LitRPG. LitPokemon? LitMonsterHunting? The idea of books in the LitRPG style where you hunt, tame, and battle beasts against other trainers.
You just made me want to read it even more. I love the old tabletop RPGs. I bought the red box D&D when it was new in the stores. Here's a visual of LitRPG before it was called that.
Wotcha, be very welcome and more than a little careful, I'm not saying that some of the denizens here are skilled at biting and leaving no teeth marks............well no, actually that's exactly what I am saying but only in the nicest possible way.......the biting, that is!
I'm glad I'm not the only one then. Greetings VR Ranger. Wait, wasn't there a run of the TV shows where they were VR Rangers? Just saw the new Power Rangers Movie. I liked it!
Wow, I am going to catch some ribbing for that name, aren't I. And yes, i did consider using power rangers as my avatar for a bit for giggles. Have no idea on the types, just know that there are a bunch and that my son enjoyed them for awhile.
I'm a sucker for wish fulfillment and OP characters atm. That may change as I read more LitRPG, but as for right out the gate, this is what I'm loving ; )
