New guest post by Ed White, LitRPG Author! What’s it like to write in a shared universe? I know you are probably thinking, “what’s that got to do with LitRPG or GameLit?” The answer: plenty more than we guessed all those years ago. Hello, my name is Ed White, author of the LitRPG/Cultivation series Battle Avatars, and a member of a studio of like-minded writers and artists.

Are chatbots useful for LitRPG authors? I say yes! I played with creating a LitRPG chatbot last year, but I never followed through with the project, primarily set-up for the LitRPG Reads Facebook page. Recently, I’ve picked up a new way to build and deploy them with the Snatchbot service. There’s a free version available (that has their branding), or you can pay for removal of their branding and better live support for help with your bots. Either way, it’s a great way for authors to automate recommendations for readers, especially for writers in the overall “cyberpunk” or “Science-Fantasy” genres. Chatbot Overlord circa 2072 Setting up a simple chatbot is –> Read More

What a year it’s been, eh? Actually, the last three years have been amazing for me. While I discovered proto-litrpg back in the 80s with Guardians of the Flame, it was in late 2016 that I first heard about LITRPG. I knew I’d finally found my literary home. Over the last three years I’ve published many books under this name and others. Earlier this year, I had a chance to work on the narrative design for GearStorm. That experience got me fired up about making a litrpg-themed game. A few others were already working on games for our genre, but I wanted to do something special to show my appreciation –> Read More
