Choosing your race is a much bigger decision than choosing your class. No matter what class you choose, you're still human, whereas if you change your race, you're becoming something entirely different and there's no going back. Ideally if you change your race, it's to augment your class, like...

I picked the only one that felt like it made sense. I was trying to find the guy who had thrown a gigantic harpoon hard enough to pin his victim to the wall, and the options were a scrawny kid, the victim's gardner, and a professional whaler who has been trying to blackmail the victim. But even...

Today I decided to give a game called Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments a try. I really like detective games, but the only ones I've found in recent memory that do it well are the Ace Attorney games. What surprised me here was when I made it to the end of the first case, and the game gave...

I'm planning on making the max level 99 (with 100 theoretically being infinite power *cough*) and while I don't have everything planned out from level 1 to 99, I still have a basic idea of how I want the story to go, and I plan to wrap the system around that rather than wrap the plot around the...

There is, and it also answers a lot of your other questions. The basis for this story is that the world was remade into a fantasy world complete with its own RPG system, but 99% of the population was turned into mindless NPCs. Imagine a world filled with Oblivion characters being Oblivion...

I just started working in earnest on my litrpg project today, and I want to make sure my character building makes sense before I get too deep into it. This is the first character who's going to be introduced: Class: Cat Burglar Race: Faun LVL: 14 Str: 49 (+4 per level) Dexterity: 112 (+7 per...

*Glances nervously at the litrpg I just started writing*

Me: "Man, I don't have any readers. My story must suck!" Me: *picks story at random off the trending list and reads the first chapter* Me: "My story is amazing and I am an undiscovered GOD."

DONE! 93,000 words long, and DONE! ...now to start editing it.

the comments are all like, "HELLO, I AM A HUMAN BEING. MY FAVORITE ACTIVITIES ARE BREATHING OXYGEN AND BEING ADVERTISED TO. TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY TO GIVE MONEY TO [insert sponsored website] DO YOU NOT AGREE, FELLOW HUMAN? THE PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION IS SUCH A GOOD VALUE THAT I WISH I COULD GIVE...

I'm playing through the Silent Hill 2 remake right now. I have the first game on my old PS3 and the OG second and third games on my XB1 via the HD collection, but no way to access The Room.

Mongo is appalled!

One thing that's always stood out to me about the most successful stories (books, movies, TV, games, whatever) is that they always have lines that the audience can quote. Sometimes they're meaningful or inspirational quotes, sometimes they're just memes, but they all seem to have them. "You're...

A couple weeks ago I was listening to Warboss by Mike Brooks. It's an audiobook about the Orks from Warhammer 40k. I blame that for the dream I had last night. There was a bunch of Orks that (I guess) were celebrating the promotion of a new Warboss by singing a song. I can't remember most of...

Contradictions. I don't particularly care what's being contradicted as long as it feels natural. A character who has all of their thoughts and feelings perfectly sorted out doesn't feel real. Real people are a mess of emotions and opinions that don't always mesh together, and fictional...

All of them? Okay, you asked for it...

Out of my own characters, it would probably be Henry Rider just because of how realistically fledged out she is. She's bright and cheerful, always cracking jokes, but can be serious when she needs to be. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and family, but can still feel jealous, or bitter, or...

Considering both of the series I'm currently working on are "secret world" stories, where magical societies exist right under normal people's noses, my life probably wouldn't change too much. Assuming the whole "suddenly appearing in a new world" thing doesn't come with realistic problems like...
