    This is a single POV standalone set in the Tower of Gates game/universe...

    The broad strokes outline is done, and it's been gestating in my mind a while now.

    More updates to come!

    When I start this one, I think I might post a count of daily words written and maybe particularly good (or bad) snippets from the book.

    Of interest to anyone?

    A good cover is always great. And some sort of progress on an upcoming project, especially a sequel, is awesome.

    I agree. Let's see how many authors we can get to join us here. Most are super-busy, I'm sure, but I've got high hopes.

    If I click on the cover to make it bigger I get directed to another page and told I don't have authority to see it. Not sure if anything can be done like with facebook where we can make them bigger. Otherwise things like your cover are going to be just to small for people to give any constructive feedback on.

    Hmm. Sounds like a user group permission error. Lemme check real quick.

    I just checked and you should be able to "View attachments to posts:"

    For me, it's showing full size in the thread. Let me keep digging.

    Found it! Wasn't the user group, it was this particular forum, which I tightened down so only certain people could start new threads. Should be fixed now.

    Thanks for pointing it out! Here's 5,000 gold!

    Thanks. I'm excited to get started on Roguelike after finishing Human.

    We miss you!

    Roguelike: A LitRPG Novel (Tower of Gates Standalone Adventures)


    Trapped in a Game Inside a Game…


    Player Chronster (aka Alex Fort in the real world) finds himself stuck on a solo adventure in the Roguelike embedded within the Tower of Gates game. If he makes it out, he’ll be able to rejoin the other players in ToG with massive unique loot.


    He soon learns why roguelikes are considered so brutal by most players. As he grinds the levels and collects the items necessary to defeat the final boss, he realizes something. The Mines of Oriam might go on forever. Will he ever find the Amulet of Yendro?


    Find out in this first standalone adventure in the Tower of Gates universe! This is a single POV standalone novel of roughly xx,xxx words.


    <i>If you loved Rogue, Nethack, or any of the other procedurally generated RPGs, you’ll dig this novel. (No Wand of Digging required!) Even if you’re not a gamer, the fantasy story and characters found in the Tower of Gates universe will keep you entertained. </i>

    You know, this one flew right over the head the first time I read it. Haha.

    Nice one.

    It's done!

    Now onto this one.

    It's going to be shorter, I think, but action-packed. And lots of roguelike humor. I'm hoping this one jumps outside the normal LitRPG readers and attracts new ones via roguelikes. We shall see!
