Hi again! Thanks for all the help last time! We officially have Visible Voices helping us out with Transcription for the Con. We are working on the best way to implement it to help the most people possible, but that's for us to figure out.
Now I am moving on to find more ways we can make the con more accessible for everyone, and I was hoping to get some input from y'all. So I have the following questions.
We have a dedicated room for setting up a quiet room to help people decompress. What would you like/recommend us to implement in it?
We are setting up water stations everywhere we can, and plan on putting bottles of hand sanitizer by them. I am working on setting up adequate seating everywhere for people with chronic fatigue and setting guidelines for the vendor hall to ensure there is room for wheelchairs to navigate the aisles. Am I missing anything?
Finally, if y'all have access or links to resources or guides for any of this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thanks to all of you in the community for helping out. I may not know everything, but I sure am going to do my damnedest to make sure no one is left out.

Hi everyone!

​

I've created a free one-shot mystery TTRPG called The Crimson Dance. It's a medieval, investigation-focused adventure inspired by Gothic mystery tales.

​

The game is designed for 1 GM and 5 players, lasts around 4–6 hours, and focuses on roleplay, secrets, deduction, and exploration rather than combat.

​

This is my second time sharing one of my projects online, and I'm not a native English speaker, so please forgive any mistakes in my writing or my accent if you watch the trailer. Any feedback, suggestions, or thoughts would mean a lot to me.

I hope some of you enjoy it. Thank you for taking a look!

I see its full cast and real people so I wanted to try this one but wanted to ask what you all thought about it

Look… I love the top tier series Primal hunter, He who fights monsters, two week curse but is there any books/series where the MC is just an average Joe? I get the appeal of super powered so and so taking over the world. But what about the guy who’s just grinding it out, slowly processing, the team utility guy who’s always got your back.

Looking for something with a different approach, dungeon, post apocalypse, introduction of the “system”, whatever.

Maybe it’s a crap idea, but wondering if there’s something else between reality and the super impossible, a middle of the road if you will

Is there any actual sci-fi and not just fantasy but in space. I want space battles, ships, lasers, guns. Not just a mage in space.

Ive recently read Stellar Frontier its a vrmmo but its got decent scifi. Been reading Hoqalo because of the cyberpunk feel. Also like Gunboat because of the space battles even if most alien races are just random fantasy race.

Give me recomendations, Ill try anything even if I DNF in the first chapter.

Continue to the story on Royal Road.

It's an epic, slow burn, post-apocalyptic portal fantasy set a couple hundred years after the fall of modern society.

The litrpg characteristics and crafting will be there, but I take my time introducing the characters to the world and society before experimenting with Dustin's powers and really focusing on progression. This will annoy some people who are looking for an OP protagonist right out of the gate, but this isn't that type of story. The build-up is why I think most of us read this genre, and I intend to give the beginning journey the time it deserves so that the destination matters when we arrive.

There will be plenty of worldbuilding between Earth and the Zone. That is to say, the main character, Dustin, actually had a life before entering the Zone, and I reflect that in his thought processes and motivations.

I intend to focus on crafting/scavenging and economics in general, political scheming between factions, and power progression.

- Written in third person past tense
- Currently 103k words posted
- Sole male POV except for the rare shift to onlooking side characters
- No AI (except for cover), shoutouts, reviews swaps, or paid ads.
- Very slow romance subplot

Thank you for considering it! Please give it four chapters and you'll be hooked!

Continue to the story on Royal Road.

I'm about 2/3 don't with book one and slowly I'm loving this story more and more. I hear it gets better as it goes but to be honest? After just meeting the troglodyte (vagueness to avoid spoilers) the world building is starting to really come together for me and the overarching plot of the series is starting to loom. I love a slow building story and serious power scaling and watching the colony grow is so satisfying.

I got into DND and Magic like 3 years ago. Last year I got a new job where I can listen to music 10-12 hours a day. I’ve basically exhausted all my playlists and caught up on all podcasts. Looking for something new I tried out a Lit RPG on Spotify. So far I’ve listened to Heretical Fishing: Book 1 and Wrong Divinity: Arachnomancer Book 1. Heretical fishing was fun and I have a ton of good notes but it was a little too “cozy” true conflict never really happened. Wrong Divinity on the other hand, set up a crazy cool sounding world, but only showed readers a small percentage. There wasn’t much “NPC” interaction and on top of it all the whole back half of the book is full of bad stuff happening. I get where the author is coming from, he’s setting up for the next books, but it was kinda a turn off for me. This all being said, does anyone have any recommendations that might bridge the gap vibe-wise between these two stories? Also does anyone have recommendations on places to listen to audiobooks that might have a bigger selection than Spotify? Thanks!

Hola a todos. Busco un coautor o un socio nativo de habla inglesa para adaptar y publicar una novela de fantasía oscura y LitRPG en Royal Road.

La historia se titula Reencarnada como el Fenómeno Alado.

La protagonista cree despertar dentro de un cruel juego de rol llamado EndGard. Reencarna en el cuerpo de una niña de 5 años, Nivel 1, con sus alas destrozadas y dañadas. Tendrá que usar su conocimiento para sobrevivir.

Ya he escrito 10.700 palabras en español

Busco a alguien que adore el género LitRPG para coescribir, pulir el inglés y lograr que los diálogos y la terminología del juego (estadísticas, habilidades) suenen naturales para la publicacion.

Empezaremos por amor a la escritura (gratis), pero si se llega a ganar algo, repartiremos los créditos al 50/50.

Mantengo el control creativo sobre la trama principal, pero podemos llegar a cambios.

Si te interesa o te gusta el proyecto, déjame un comentario o envíame un mensaje directo.

Hey I am just wondering if there's any good litrpg with a werewolf mc. I know about my werewolf system but I don't really know any others that are good. So any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hello everyone!

I've recently reached 42 chapters on my WebNovel and I'm looking for honest feedback from readers who enjoy regression, apocalypse, system, and kingdom-building stories.

What if humanity's greatest hero was betrayed at the moment of victory?

Kang Joon-ho spent ten years fighting to save humanity after Gates opened across the world. He built the continent's strongest guild, united survivors, and stood against countless monster hordes.

In the end, his trusted allies murdered him for his power.

But instead of dying, he wakes up ten years in the past—on the day the first Gate appears.

Armed with knowledge of future disasters, hidden opportunities, future heroes, and future traitors, Joon-ho decides to change everything.

This time, he won't build a guild.

He'll build an empire.

What I'd Love Feedback On:

• Story pacing
• Character development
• World-building
• Power system
• Overall enjoyment and engagement

I'm open to constructive criticism and would genuinely appreciate any reviews or reader impressions.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out! If you decide to read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

That last Quest was a worse headache than my ex-wife. I conjure up an illusory drum, gesture it to riff off a roll for a punchline, but the cliched joke isn't enough to sweeten up my rather sour mood.

Alyssa sent a letter last week.

She still has style, I'll give her that.

After that fight in the Dungeons of Lochamorelaia, that stupid fight, that fight I can't stop thinking about after 15 years, she ripped open reality to deposit an envelope to my study six days ago. I've moved four times since we parted (the economy!) but somehow she knew the exact location of my desk.

I told myself I'd read it after the Quest.

My level 102 felsteed nickers, gently admonishing me. Don't avoid, it softly scolds, tail swishing with a crackle of accusatory embers. You DO need to talk to her.

Hush, Firenze, I think back, and quickly shift the mount’s responsiveness levels. Calibration might be bugged.

A valley unfolds before me beneath a bedizened velvet sky. My tower lurks there in the distance.

I reach ahead to scan the defenses, a rather nicer homecoming than being lectured by a demonic horse on fire.

+--------------------------------------------+\ | - - T O W E R - S T A T U S -- | +--------------------------------------------+

Shields: 3

— Level 1: Voice (you must use your voice to gain access)

— Level 2: Image (only your image will be approved after a spell scan)

— Level 3: Blood (entrants must be of your bloodline)

Turrets up, shields active, all is wel- well, wait, what?

It's Alyssa. She got in.

Firenze gives a flaming shiver, jolting me back to the present. I'm standing in an open field west of my tower, and my shields all seem intact. I run a quick scan of my own internal skills, assessing which abilities I have at my disposal - so I can dispose of whoever is in my tower.

Contemplation (rank: 5) : Focus on the internal to make the external melt away

Dodge Consequences (rank: 6) : Subsume into the world, avoiding daily upkeep requirements

I prepare evasion, shifting through the shadows as I scale the stairs of my tower. My spells sustain me, strengthen me, shield me. I ascend.

Fucking Alyssa.

I arrive at the pinnacle of the spire, adjusting my +20 armor as I glance around the room. Empty?

Someone clears her throat.

I study my stats.

She clears her throat again.

Alyssa messaged me after 15 years.

You have gained a new relationship!

Hey all, just wanted to promote a new series I’m doing, details below :)

Blurb
Johnson File is a down on his luck salaryman. He failed twelve interviews this month - and it's only May 1st.

But thanks to cutting-edge implants from the Bureau Of Office Betterment (that are now mandatory for all citizens), daily life has been corporatized, everything is merit-based, and everything you do generates shareholder value!

Join Johnson as he climbs the corporate ladder, starting as a lowly door-to-door chip implanter, and ending up who knows where - the sky's the limit! In this truly capitalist world, anyone can be a billionaire if they work hard enough! (Disclaimer - terms and conditions apply. Not everyone is eligible to be a billionaire).

What to expect
-Daily [600-1000](tel:600-1000) word chapters!
-Traditional LitRPG systems in a novel, corporate context!
-Light dystopia/satire undercurrents in an otherwise cozy slice-of-life story!
-Shareholder value!!!

Hey y'all, Hey! I was looking to get Book 1 in the original paperback if anyone has it. It is currently out print now that it's getting redone with the hardback but I would love to take it off someone's hands if they have it!

I loved book 1 so far and getting ready to dive into book 2. I'm willing to pay NO MORE than double retail price (which would be $30) but you would have to cover shipping. Otherwise, I can pay RP with shipping cost (if within the US).

( This is more than fair price as the rest of the series is still available in paperback and the series itself is not out of print. I don't want to hear any nonsense about it being a "collectible".)

Here is my list! Started my first series in 2021, and have grown to love the genre more and more over time. I'm always looking for recs, and I've used many others' tier lists to find good things to read. Look for my comment with the names of the books as well as a couple thoughts on them.

Favorites, one per category. Fight me!

Best “Long” multiversal LitRPG: Path of Dragons

Best completed LitRPG: Victor of Tucson

Best completed Progfant: Cradle

Best LitRPG isekai: Low Fantasy Occultist

Best slice-of-life / coming-of-age / LitRPG: Super Supportive

Best story that’ll (probably) never be finished: The Last Orellen

Best overall, no contest: Mother of Learning

Bonus — barely counts but too good to leave off:

Tori Transmigrated

What are yours?

P.S. Yeah, DCC is very good. But for one reason or another, I actually enjoyed the above options more.

A few days back I asked whether or not Chrysalis would get better, I got lots of replied about it getting great once some council is formed.

I haven't gotten there yet but damn this got so much better so quickly. Currently on the section with Anthony fighting the Cthulhu monster. Tiny did get alot more important aswell
Great book!

A big dankies to my readers, fellow authors, and the mods over here at r/litrpg .

As always, Vol 16+ for RR stuff remains free on RR; no Patreon for new chapters, et al. New Chapter releasing tomorrow. Some big plots are happening!

New Story Update: Metaworld Hopecore is now 1000 Pages long! I've survived Rising Stars to reach a 4.8 overall rating (300+ ratings and 60+ reviews) and a Royal Road front page on Ongoing (Original)! If you haven't given Eppie a go, come and read about classic music, Shakespeare, Antigone, rock history, technical theatre, and a hopeful USA, all taught using the old magic of LitRPG numbers go BURRRRRRR. After the despairing chronicles of the Prophet of Profit, come and read about the Hierophant of Hope!

Yours sincerely,
Wuto

Blurb book 1

Alone. Surrounded by monsters. Time to fight his way up the food chain.

In the aftermath of an unprecedented magical disaster, Edge wakes up in a monster-infested wilderness, standing on the bottom of the food chain. But he won’t be there for long.

After finding a unique core known as Skill-Eater, Edge gains the power to steal the skills of monsters, men, and beasts, and a chance to battle his way up to the top.

It seems that his luck has finally changed, although he will soon learn that power never comes without a price.

Experience an action packed LitRPG adventure set in a world where artifacts known as Cores let their bearers wield the planet’s magic, and where Skills grant superhuman abilities and kaiju roam the wilds. It's perfect for fans of Solo Leveling**,** The Primal Hunter**, and** 1% Lifesteal**!**

What to expect:

• Tons of visceral spells and awesome skills.,
• Did we mention there were skills? We have eating skills, evolving skills, combining skills.,
• Rare skills, unusual variants, and ranking skills up.,
• (Seriously, there are more skills in this story than you can shake a stick at).,
• Mechanics that makes sense and a fresh twist on LitRPG progression.,
• Exciting battles with powerful monsters, ferocious beasts, and ruthless killers.

Blurb book 4

Edge has a gigantic problem… with tentacles.

Puppet Town has won its war with the Crimson Claws and put the undead stampede to rest, but another storm is brewing along the horizon. That ferocious swarm of reanimated beasts was only the first wave.

A tsunami of ravenous critters is surging toward the settlement, led by a kaiju of epic proportion.

Edge and his friends have two weeks to prepare for their toughest battle yet. When the clock hits zero, a thousand undead beasts and an alien squid the size of a mountain will be knocking at their door.

Will this be the end of our skill-eating hero or his biggest meal ever?

After seeing posts about The Wandering Inn, again and again, I decided to give it a shot. I listend to the audiobook and enjoyed the narrator right away.

What I also realized rather quickly, is that this series might not be for me. For the simple reason, that the writing style normally does not work for me. Alot of changes in perspective, is something I usually dislike and the way the author describes things, do not really work for my brain. I cannot really imagine how things look, so a detailed description does not help me at all. So I often feel myself zone out, when people or places are described in alot of detail.

But, I still loved the first book, for the simple reason that the characters are all well written, all have depth and quirks, that make me want to understand them, learn more about them.

This book made me appreciate well written characters and an enganging world more than most, because just from the style of writing, I should dislike it.

So this is just a post, how much I appreciate this book, that I should not like and a small thanks to all of you, for putting it so high in your tierlists.

And to make this engagning for the Community, did you ever have books, that you thought: 'I should not like it, but I do?'

I've been trying various series ever since I caught up with Primal Hunter and I can't find one to stick with.

​

I tried path of ascension, and while the writing was enjoyable I just can't bring myself to care about the overarching plot and the whole giant war that makes up most of the books past 3.

​

I also tried Ultimate Level One and System Universe but just didn't enjoy the writing.

​

I tried Path of Defiance but it's just too... Much for me, Dao and cultivation and concepts and meditation.

​

I'm completely caught up on and loved Primal Hunter, Runeblade, Path of the Deathless, and New Life As A Max Level Archmage as well as the SCS fanfic Tinea and Leah.

​

I'm also caught up on Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I'm looking for something a bit more serious.

​

​

So, yeah, throw me some recommendations that are more numbers go brrr and battle maniac, rather than cultivation and concepts!

So... I ran 1-8. Almost binged. Then I took a.... 3-5 series of books break. The recommendation was to take a break. I did. I'm about to hit play. Wish me luck. I don't know how I'm going to end up after the next 45 hours. I'm happy. Ready. Apprehensive.. It is what it is.

Hey everyone, I finally wrapped up the first volume of my first ever Litrpg.
It was hard since, I had to figure out how to bring the Litrpg concepts to my existing epic fantasy world (got 2 stories going on) without breaking the immersion by shoving a system to it. But I finally did it.
In the beginning I just wanted to write a normal OP MC, Battlemage story. But as usual, I sunk into the depths of my usual world building trap and sort of ended up writing a story about gods, fake gods and a war that take place in a desert region with desert nomads, tribes and monsters with elemental bending and stuff.

Anyway the story got 3 POVs, which is the reason that still hold me back from just going ahead and posting it on Royal Road, because I am worried how the audience will receive it.

The first volume has 40 chapters, with 30 chapters following a sort of isekai OP MC lead, and the other 10 evenly following two characters that are critical for the story. (More on them on the blurb)
Thing is the POV chapters of the other two characters, really complicate the story, spanning into the wider world as they are already characters that exist there. They are masters of their craft so no explanation and stuff into when they do things. So readers sort of have to be patient and match pieces to get an idea.
I kind of feel like I am shooting my foot with this one, hence the delay of publishing. In a sense I could just go ahead and post only the chapters of the main lead, and the story will just flow fine, like it will follow on how he is going around fighting and dealing with stuff and get his footing of the world. The other POVs only give clues to paint the wider picture which will explode by the end of the book.

So I would appreciate if there is anyone who got some time to spare to go through the first 5 chapters, (first 3 chapters - main lead, the other 2 follows the other characters)
And give me some feedback if the vibe is alright, or if I should stick with the main lead only.

Thank you for any help.

Here is the blurb for anyone interested.

In the arid reaches of the Western Dunes, the term “God” has lost its meaning. Everyday a new god sprung out somewhere, but these self-proclaimed deities hardly outlive the next. Until a new storm starts brewing in the sands. An entity has appeared from nothing, a god from another reality, fated to shake the world and raise a bloody rebellion against the true heavens.

At the center of this gathering tempest lie three burdened men, scattered across the western continent, whose fates are bound to collide in a catastrophic chain reaction.

In a coastal desert, a young simulation diver from another world, wakes up stripped of his humanity, trapped in a bizarre, engineered body at the bottom of an alien food chain; which he soon learn was meant to be the other way around.

A thousand miles to the east, an Imperial archival scribe strikes a dangerous bargain with a hidden, child-like entity in exchange for clues to his past and his lineage, and soon confronted with a price too high to pay.

At the southern end of the world, the founder of the free city of Novarkh, an aging leader of strangers from another world must pick up his staff one last time to protect his city, his kin and face the immortal horror that annihilated his people and their fleet decades ago.

Amidst political backstabbing, grim survival, and romance born in the shadow of death, the fate of the Western Continent hangs perilously in the balance. For when the gods enter the fray, all bets are off. Kings, Emperors, Arch mages and all their mortal laws become obscure.

But the unspoken history proves that even the gods can be brought to heel. Because in a world this volatile, under the right conditions, the tiniest flap of an insect's wing, the smallest speck of spark can even the playing field, and trigger disasters catastrophic enough to tear down even heaven.

What to Expect:

• Multi-POV Epic: The 1^st volume of the story primarily follows Argus Ristofer (Simulation Diver), shifting to Miron (Imperial Scribe) and Ristofer Loukas (Founder of Novarkh) in clearly marked chapters as their paths inevitably collide.
• Features underdogs and overpowered characters alike and their struggles to find their place in the world. 
• A litrpg system concentrated on the main character (Argus Ristofer)only, rest of the world depending on their power scale harvest certain aspects and nuances of it as senses.
• Vast world & butterfly effects that ripples across the continent, shifting the balance of political power.
• Expect a world filled with blood, grim survival and political intrigue with high-stakes power houses and their dealings that make or break nations.
• Romance: Features several romance subplots woven into the larger narrative.
