Never knew this genre existed, but so glad it does! I have probably spent months locked inside my head going through role-play stories and how I would have magic systems and levelling systems etc. I dabbled with programming languages and made a few basic games but realised it would take years to do that. Then litRPG comes along (for me anyway, at this current time) and it is basically a super accessible way for role playing tinkerers to put their systems and ideas into an already known language on a cheap format - the language we read and write and ebook/paper/audible files. I may even dabble at authoring, but first will be reading vast quantities.
