Hey hey everyone,

Today we're interviewing Rhoden, the guy who writes Stubborn Skillgrinder Stuck in a Timeloop! It's a magnificent story that you should check out if you haven't! It's literally what it says on the tin, which is beyond refreshing. 

I had a great time talking to him, too! We spoke about a bunch of stuff, like his job as a police officer, the fact that this is legit his first novel (which is still unbelievable to me), and his plans for the future! :slight_smile:

Hey hey everyone,

welcome to this week's episode of the CritRPG Podcast! :smile:

Luke Chmilenko is an author who appears in the dictionary when you look up "prolific." He's written dozens of books in the last few years, co-authored several more, has released a comic, and manages his writing career at the same time.

He's one half of the Gestalt-brain that brought us Iron Prince, his own flagship series Ascend Online is not going into its 7th iteration, and he recently began releasing a web serial on his homepage.

...yep, he really is that impressive. And then you're reading his books and they're really good to boot!

Hey hey everyone,

This week, we're interviewing R.C. Joshua, author of Deadworld Isekai, How To Survive At the End of the World, and most recently Demon World Isekai. So it's easy to say he's a man of many worlds.

Besides talking about his writing, we also discussed his favourite techniques and what drives him to return to Royal Road again and again.

Also, no, he was not remote-controlled.

I checked.

Hey hey everyone,

Yeah yeah, get your sex jokes in 😄

No, let's be real, this guy is pretty damn chill, and a terrific writer to boot!

Alex Carne has written not one, not two, but MORE THAN THREE outstanding RR stories; Soul Guardian, Magic Murder Cube Marine, and Rogue Cultivator.

I personally also enjoyed the start of Eden & Echo, but hey, it's cyberpunk, so... 🙂

I've been waiting a long time for this inteview, ever since I Read Tower of Somnus last year. Cale not only tells us about his books and what informed his writing of them, but also how to balance multiple timelines, and how he juggles work and writing. He doesn't just write Tower of Somnus either, but also an amazing story about a young Kobold who really wands to be a dragon. Go check them out at the links below!

Hey hey everyone,

so this week we have a special, because Ripple System 5 is coming out in 3 days from now, and I AM SO STOKED, YOU GUYS! In honor of this release, I interviewed the one, the only, Kyle Kirrin!

We're talking about basically everything from his time using a chainsaw on a daily basis to how he enjoys life in the wilds more than in the city, but we also get some great writing advice and insights into how he came up with Frank and the way his books sustain their tension even though they're "just" VRMMORPG books. Oh and we gush about Travis Baldree a lot.

So basically, if you love Shadeslinger, this is the podcast for you!

P.S. We did have a bit of an audio issue throughout the podcast, which made it hard for me to edit this episode. So if the quality is a bit off, I'm sorry!

this week, I have another round table discussion for you. This time, it's all about the sweet, sweet systems that we know and love. Whether it's a hard-coded litRPG system or crunchy magic, Shirtaloon, RavensDagger, John Bierce and I got you covered.

Oh and yeah, we also oogle John's cats. A LOT. They're all adorable and not distracting at al, what are you talking about.

Hey hey everyone,

this week, we interview the person I am convinced spawned the Chad meme, Noret Flood. Not only did he write one of the most beloved litRPG Series of all time, he also finished it, the madman, at 2470+ chapters. The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound is a book that every litRPG Enthusiast should have at least tried, a surprisingly nuanced take on the System Apocalypse genre, especially in the later books.

With that being said, we did laugh a lot, and I had to cut some jokes short because we would just end up giggling for a couple of minutes, but that's Noret for you. As always, I hope you enjoyed listening to the Pod as much as I loved recording it.

Hey hey everyone,

this week, we have the one, the only, the true master of sound quality, Jeff Hays. I know I say this every week, but this has been an absolute banger of a Podcast, with laugh-out-loud moments to more somber notes throughout the middle. We discuss not only litRPG, the literary market, and our desire for quality, but also corsets, BDSM, and creamer.

Well, that last part is more of a "Patreon Material" topic, if I'm being honest, but hey, you can subscribe to that, too 😛

There's more than 100 hours of extra interviews with some of the biggest names in Progression Fantasy waiting for you there!

Hey hey everyone,

this week on the critRPG Podcast, we interview Plum Parrot, author of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams! It was a great episode to record and edit, because not only did Plum have a lot to say in regards to writing, he also asked me a lot of questions about my own stuff! The result was a more conversational podcast than usual, which I was worried about at the time, but still think came out really valuable.

Let me know what you think, and as always, thanks for being here! 🙂

Hey hey everyone,

So, first off, ThinkTwice and I talked for four hours in total, about everything from Characterization to writing with disabilities, and it HAS to be one of the most informative Pods I have done to date. It's magnificent, and ThinkTwice has brought so much to this interview that I struggle to put it into words.

You can find the entire 4 hours on my Patreon, but I think this 1.5 hour interview is already amazing enough. Please enjoy, and feel free to check out the rest of the content.

Hey hey everyone,

this week, we're on our way through all the hells in an Interview with Phil Tucker!

This one has been an absolute doozy. We were laser-focused, and got through tons of topics, from excellent writing advice (!) to Phil's most watched anime shows, and what he loves in a story!

We also get to hear more about his new Story Ideas, and about traditional Fantasy novels he's written.

This is easily one of my favorite episodes, and we talked for nearly 3 hours in total. So if you want to listen to more of us, please check out my Patreon.

Hey hey everyone,

this week on the CritRPG Podcast: A Job Interview! At least Sunrise brought his CV! 😄

(I will show myself out...)

Puns aside, this has been a quick and chill episode, underpinned by Sunrise's experiences as one of the Vanguard in litRPG! 🙂 He's been at this for longer than most people know Royal Road exists, and has written over 700.000 words in his series System Universe. That's not all he does, though, so I hope you'll enjoy listening to this episode 🙂

Thanks for listening and/or watching, and I'll see you next time! 🙂

It was a great podcast, and I hope you'll enjoy our talk about naming trees, how not to write Dungeon Core novels and the dangers of rapid growth. We also talked about Damien Nightshade, and Xkarn's mad rise to power, as well as his guidelines on how to write to market.

Hey Hey everyone!

So this week, we're going to start an experiment. Instead of just interviewing one or two Authors, I am interviewing three!|

Joining e this week are RavensDagger, Void Herald (MAxime Durand) and Haylock! In this podcast, we don't just discuss how these fine gentlemen come up with their characters, we also discuss Raven's mom, VoidHerald's internet issues, and Haylock's tattoos 😛

But mostly, we talk about books and writing, and how we can bring worlds alive for our readers. We also discuss Anime, manga, and inspirations for our book series.

Oh, and most importantly, we explore the crucial question: How Cute?

If you want to vote on the next round of questions, please consider joining the critRPG Patreon. I will do one of these round tables every week until the heat death of the universe, or until we run out of topics. 🙂 It would help me out immensely.

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing the amazing Damien Hanson!

We talked about everything from the Origins of BuyMort to his nuanced stance on Capitalism, how it saved his child, and how cruel advertising can be in spite of it all.

We also talked about advice for aspiring authors, such as how to receive and properly understand criticism, and the way to publishing. Oh and also why car windows are evil, and how we would torture Matt Dinneman if we could :D

If you want to know more about Damien, and listen to us talk about his life in Korea, his teaching background, and how he got into boxing, please check out my Patreon for another hour of Podcast!

Hey hey everyone,

Today we have a great interview for you: John Bierce, Author of Mage Errant! We also have cats, so this is no doubt going to be the biggest podcast episode ever. 😄

In this episode, we discuss a number of things, from Geology puns to embracing rejection to why Magic: the Gathering is a highly addictive drug 😉 We also discuss John's writing process, how Mage Errant came to be, and why fire-based liches would be a bad idea.

Next week we're going to discuss BuyMort... 😄

To send this year off in style, I have a very special guest for you. His name is Travis Baldree, and he did pretty much everything a nerd would ever want to do.

In this podcast, we're not only talking about his #1 NYT Best Selling, Award-Winning, Ass-Kicking Books, we also go deep into how video game culture has changed, why making games may break your heart, and what we can do to make litRPG and progression fantasy grow as a genre. (Also why that might seem scary, but really isn't.)

As always, there's an hour more on Patreon! For $5 a month, you get access to more than 30 hours of additional podcasts, unscripted and mostly uncut.

It's the after-dark part 😉

P.S. I will take January off! See you in February!

Hey hey everyone,

today we welcome madness with open arms 🙂 (And also Ostensible Mammal, Author of Godclads!)

It's been a crazy episode, that's for sure. We talked about everything from burning down orphanages to not sleeping (and how it benefits you as a writer) to more serious topics like leaning into discomfort, how to write horror, and Art in the Age of its Mechanical Reproduction! 🙂

On Patreon, we talked about even more outrageous stuff, like Dragon Necromancers, the end of all existence, how to improve your prose, and writing advice for people who have read all the books already.

Hey hey everyone,

welcome to another episode of the CritRPG Podcast! It's been a little more than half a year, and the growth we have experienced is quite astonishing, actually! 🙂

With me today is K.T. Hanna / Arithion, author of many fun books, including the recently released Library System Reset: Overdue.

We spoke about so many things in this podcast it's kinda hard to sum it all up. As we discussed, we both have ADHD (and I was getting sick with Covid at the time) so this one is a RIDE.

I do distinctly remember that puns were involved, though. Lots and lots of puns. God. So many puns...

Joke aside, we talked about mental health, neurodiversity, the physical mechanics of writing, and even more fun stuff in the Patreon Material 🙂

Hey everyone,

This week, I am pleased to present Brian J Nordon, author of Quest academy! It was a super heartfelt and deep conversation that I hope you're going to like. Brian is a natural born storyteller, despite what he might say, and that extends to his amazing recount of his journey as a writer.

On a sad note, my PC switched to the wrong microphone just before recording, and I didn't notice it until after the podcast, so my own audio quality is not as good as usual. I briefly thought about redoing the podcast, but there was so much good stuff in here that I didn't want to deprive you of.

Patreons get the full show this week, and 2 hours of additional content next week!

I'm sorry for the Audio Quality on this episode. Unfortunately, I hit the limits of my skills, and there really wasn't too much I could do.

Hey everyone,

This week, we're back on the litRPG Olympus with the one and only Shirtaloon, also known as Travis Deverell.

Yep, that's right, the guy who writes He Who Fights With Monsters and repeatedly hits rank #1 on Patreon, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible. I had an absolute blast with him on the show, and we recorded over 4 hours of content, which means I had to split it up into two episodes. Episode one releases today and includes us discussing how Travis came up with his bestseller, how he overcame his imposter syndrome (and what Will Smith had to do with it,) and his stances on Jason being Jason.

The Bonus Material includes us talking about writing tips, why Jason is an "SJW Cuck" (Travis' words, not mine!), and how to write successful Serial Fiction!

I enjoyed every second of it, mostly because it was ridiculously easy to hang out with these two guys. So, join us as we talk about how Seth's dad crash-landed on Earth, how Jonathan became an audiobook narrator, and how he stumbled into writing Romance Novels (yeah, I know!)
