This has been my most anticipated game for the past couple years, and it's finally coming out next Thursday! Somebody pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming, and bring a mallet just in case I am.

This is for a book I haven't started working on yet besides making notes for future use, and if I'm smart it'll stay that way for a long time. But I've developed a magic system for my potential-future-WIP pirate isekai story. More importantly for this thread, I've developed a counter for that...

I'm trying to come up with a gambling game for rich, bored people to play in XNPC. Here's what I've come up with: There's a big multi-tiered fountain, and the base is divided up into a bunch of different sections. The way it's played is, you pay to claim a certain section on the fountain's...

I launched my Patreon page a couple days after XNPC went live, offering eight advance chapters for $5 and sixteen advance chapters for $10. Problem is, staying sixteen chapters ahead is turning out to be harder than I thought. Would it upset my followers if I got rid of the $10 tier and just ran...

I just got to the part of XNPC where Jeremy has the world's skill and spell system explained to him, and now that I'm typing it out loud, I'm not sure if it works as well as I thought. My goal with XNPC was to make a system that worked and was consistent, but keep it as simple as possible so my...

I was randomly thinking about Disney's Tarzan while at work today, and I suddenly remembered the "GOOOO-RIIIIIII-LAAAAS!" scene, and had to go to break because I couldn't stop snickering like an idiot at my desk. What movie scenes always make you laugh, even if you're just thinking about them?

In the XNPC chapter I'm writing, Jeremy is talking to a shop owner who's a higher level than him, and he's using a skill to try and get Jeremy to buy something. The skill works by imbuing power into a word that grabs the attention of whoever hears it and keeps them from thinking about anything...

I was thinking about an idea for a book I had a few years ago, back when I was an online grocery worker for Walmart. What if there were a supermarket so massive that it became a dungeon? It would go miles deep underground, and the deeper you went the more dangerous the monsters became--but also...

Just something weird I've noticed. If I'm using the forums from my computer, it never has any trouble when I want to post a picture or a gif. But if I do it from my phone on the mobile site, roughly half the images and pretty much all of the gifs I try to post get blocked for being too big. Is...

I posted XNPC (almost) exactly one month ago. Here's what my stats look like so far. Considering that this is the debut novel from an unknown author, on a scale of 1 to 10, how am I doing? Chapters: 20 (plus two interludes for stats) Pages: 205 Scribble Hub: Total views: 910 Average views: 40...

I've never really understood where the line gets drawn when it comes to copyrights. Sometimes it seems like even acknowledging another franchise exists is enough to get the pants sued off of you, other times its like you can rip off names, character designs, and even entire plots, and the owners...

We all know that the vast majority of our readers aren't going to leave comments, no matter what site we're on. They're happy to just read the story and come back when more chapters get posted. So let's say that one of my chapters has two hundred readers. Two of those readers left comments...

I saw this over on the Royal Road forums and thought it sounded fun. Your main character is walking through town when they happen to see their wanted poster hanging on the wall. What does it say? Here's mine: Miranda Jackdaw Wanted for the Theft of 569 Enchanted Weapons 840 Pieces of Enchanted...

I was reading over my notes for XNPC earlier, and it struck me just how many monster girls I have planned for this story. There's Miranda, the FMC who's a Faun. There's Zara, who's a... actually, that would take some explaining, so let's just call her an elf. In future books, I have plans to...

Good evening, mostly people. Your least favorite badger here, and I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I don't draw. Because of this, I am not accepting commissions, but I'm more than happy to take your money anyway if you feel like giving it to me. Pricing starts at $100 and goes...

I just got the first rough sketch of XNPC: Book 2's cover from my artist. Do you love it, or do you really REEEAAAALLY love it? I asked her to rotate the axe in Jeremy's hand about ninety degrees so it looks more like he's about to swing or throw it. Other than that, I think it looks great!

Litrpgs have been the big thing in online fiction for the past few years, but it can't stay that way forever. It'll probably never go away entirely, but it's eventually going to fade away from the spotlight and be replaced with something else. What do you think that "something else" is going to...

My tax refund came in yesterday, and I decided to splurge a little. I was planning to wait for the Steam Machine, but with the hardware shortage making Valve push the release date back, and the fact that they've been dropping hints that it won't be priced to compete with modern consoles, I...

When I wrote Miranda as one of the main characters in XNPC, I wanted her to be heavily flawed but still sympathetic. According to the comments I'm getting on Royal Road, I failed at that pretty hard. We're less than twenty chapters in, and people are already saying that she's completely...

A few days ago I stopped receiving emails whenever someone replied to a thread I was subscribed to. I checked my account details, and my email hasn't changed. I also don't have Scribble Hub marked as spam on my email account. Has anyone else stopped getting emails?
