TL;DR: Did a Radio interview with some fellow authors.

G'day all,

I have a few fellow authors staying with me right now, and we did a radio interview at the university radio station of my alma mater. The interview was my friend Dr Craig Norris, who runs a show on the station exploring a wide range of media.

The guests consisted of myself, Haylock of Heretical Fishing, RinoZ of Chrysalis, visible in the video. In the studio but off camera are Tevagah of the Dungeon Crawler Carl webtoon and Hannibal Forge of Cataclysm Rising. Mark of the Crijik author ThinkTwice was not present because he was napping on my couch.

Was a great interview, but who was the guy off camera maybe he should get published before going on radio 😜

Gotta listen to it. Does Hannibal give any insight to when this current hiatus will end, or at least what year it might be...

Nate

Technically, it is available for pre-order!

Valmorian

Good interview with good perspectives. Didn’t expect to get caught up for the whole video. You guys are hilarious

Another series I love, just finished the last Heretical fishing audio book this week! Good to see you all supporting each other and that you never became another Melanie Rawn and continued.... next time you need a break though, remember just to say so and skip the coma!

Radio interview?! That is kind of wild. So mainstream!

Great stuff! Also regarding recommendations, Codename Freedom from Apollos Thorne is great. It's one of my favorites in the genre

John goode

Is there somewhere we can listen/wach it ?

Andrea W

Yes I'm aware. My implication was the things you have to do to get more time off....

I've seen the influx of webtoons that are popular lirpgs and I really can't wait for HWFWM to be one! Ok, honestly I'm a little unhappy too. I got a tattoo of Colin based on fan art I made about two years ago and now there is going to be official art. It won't make me regret the tattoo, I love it and explaining why I have a leech tattooed on my leg is always fun.

I loved this interview! Do you and your friends/fellow authors do this often?

Thank you for posting this, really enjoyed it

🥺 you… were…. All…. Here. 😳😫 did I miss something?? Was there a book signing or something? I know a group of people of whom we all own all of all your books and would have loved to have the opportunity to meet you all. LitRPG is typically a higher fluency than the likes of Tolkien, but there is a new wave of higher fluency sci-fi fantasy as well. Not dissing the low fluency, big wordy wordy, need a coffee before reading to use brain to decipher and simplify what it is that is actually being written. Also love all the times Jason and Carl are knocked back down and the character building and defining moments before they get back up and show defiance and bring on the dopamine 😊

Rick

Is this the series from Feats and Fantasy’s? From audible?

Dave

Great stuff

Merak Bourque

A commenter from a previous post expressed interest in buying shirts made from quotes and graphics from the novel. Basically I'm saying I'd buy one and I imagine others would as well! Specially one of Jason's favourite shirts he wears on occasions!

Cool, I've been curious about the litRPG genre for a while & I look forward to listening to this interview to learn more about it! 😃 I do have some litRPG books on my TBR on Goodreads, like Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Primal Hunter &, of course, your own book. 😉 /DARK FANTASY Author Birger 💙📚

Ginger Nicklas

LitRPG makes my life easier. Listen while working overnight.

Carrotosis

Got the book! Right next to Matt Dinniman in the New and Noteworthy Section at the front of the store! Eye level and everything!

Kristy Riedel

I thought we were due to start new chapters.

Carl Castiglione

Why not use the genre, "world fantasy" like you said...instead of "urban fantasy" like solo leveling, dungeon crawler carl,he who fights with monsters, which differs with like urban fantasy like Jim butcher, Kevin hearne iron druid chronicals....
