That’s why marketing professionals are so very good at tricking people. When you take something people love – games – and add the most addictive qualities – the gameplay loop – to every day tasks, you get something special.
You get gamification.
Understanding this process means understanding both how and why it works. By the time you’re done, you’ll wonder why everything isn’t gamified.
Now, the problem isn’t finding one of these boards. It’s finding a board that’s still alive and that is worth your time. Instead of digging through all the detritus out there, you can start with the cream of the crop.
Each of these boards has something to offer players. Each one has a unique flavor, and each can provide a unique home for certain gamers. Below are three of the best boards for anime RPG players.
And why do they keep going on and on about pick-pockets and torches? Good question! To continue our efforts to help the LitRPG community at large (including authors and readers), we’ve launched the brand-spanking-new LitRPG Forum. Go check it out if you haven’t had a chance yet.

Below we’ll focus on some of the top selling points and list the negatives that make up the mishaps as well.

Wow. It’s been a strange, crazy trip so far. Most people have been helpful as I switch to the LitRPG genre. Others are protective of the money they’re making in the genre and haven’t been as welcoming, but I understand their position.
As I finish my first LitRPG book, it’s a bittersweet moment. I’m anxious to get the book out to more readers, but I’m also sad that the first one is ending. This isn’t something that’s happened with a lot of the novels I’ve written in other genres.
