Salutations Patrons - Chris here once again!It's that time again... again! Please leave us some comments on this post to ask your burning questions for SESSION 6 of the VIDEO Q&A SERIES!

As always, these questions can be about anything; Books, writing, characters, hobbies, even questions for me as an employee of Bruce! As usual, we'll still be giving preference to Patron questions first over other platforms, and we'll still be trying to prioritize the questions with high engagement first as well, so make sure to check the comments for questions similar to yours and like them instead of asking the same question twice. As a reminder, openly antagonistic questions or questions about personal subjects are apt to be filtered and ignored.

Happy Asking!

Any chance for a Necromancer MC?

malte willand

Is it appreciated if we bring suspected errors up in the comments? Like spelling or Formation.

Joshu Savage

Can we get stat pages for the MC and secondary characters in DD? Note the stat pages can be at the end of the book for the people who want to see the characters progress.

Tom Maxfield

Thanx for this... I have two . Can we get Bruce's face lit if he is in front of the windows. And second can we see you asking Bruce the questions? More like a podcast format?

Johnny Starfrost

Can we have more Mage/Summoner-Centric MC’s in the future? Ard was good but a more wizard/sorcerer-like MC that can summon would be welcome.

Codyman27

How many new races are you planning to put in DD and when is the new series planning to drop

RestIsBest

I want a space adventure!

InSiddious

Epilog of FI mentions Dar and his harems sometimes like to reincarnate to different worlds and galavanting into adventures, rekindling/reliving their romances. Would it be possible that some of the characters or even main character in your books are actually just Dar and his harem playing one of their reincarnation games? What are the chances that Ard is actually one of Dar's reincarnation adventure?

Jose Paz III

Why do you think changing the cover of Ards Oath would reach a broader audience? These type of books are normally the ones that you judge by their cover why would making it as generic as possible be something that'll sell even better?

AJ

I second the summoner route would be very interesting as I feel it’s often poorly done or just focus on dragons when there’s some really cool mythical/divine beasts and animals out there. Necromancy is in the same vain but raising the dead characters from the books seems like it would be hard core ability to keep throughout a series and not get worn out so beast would be better? My thoughts at least, would be curious what route you’d take if you did either one *I understand mages cultivation is in a way summoning but I think summons and LIs separate would be interesting to see

Jerrod Sieberg

With the New space adventure, you have mentioned how you would like the MC to be percieved. How have you changed your approach to creating the MC from when you first began writing?

David Doran

Do you have a set number of books in mind when you write a series, or does it change as you go?

Niffe

This is one about how Ken and his team approaches boss fights, why does he not spar for like 20 minutes to get his stacks up than just telaport to the entrance when the boss door is open or even better straight into the fight. This would mean that he can start fights stronger, and with his telaport I don't see why this wouldn't work.

Mavrox

I have 2 questions first, when starting a new series what do you do for prep work? I know your book writing style is a "panther" — that was autocorrect and I'm leaving it — but do you make up character bios, I saw the post on the kitsune do you commonly do that for the races, places, magic systems, was there a page some where about the Elves in DD with their special anatomy? Next question, recently I found that creators can have create chats on patreon, that would allow us to chat outside of just comments is this something you would be willing to set up?

Mavrox

I don't like that the cover in my kindle library changed.

Jose Paz III

Why would anybody for these books you literally judge them by their cover

MuteButtonHero

Bruce may have a different answer but there's been a lot of theory crafting on Ken and how he could make better use of his abilities and the consensus was that what happens is what advances the story, not the best Min/Max. Blowing away bosses with no effort doesn't create tension and drama. I recently started reading a series that did that and I put it down after a book and half because it was just the guy getting one OP thing after another. So to maximize his power and still have the bosses be a challenge you have to give the boss some way to break that power. So how would you have the boss cancel Ken's Liminal Speed/Space? And he still needs room to grow/improve because he's just a college kid.

MuteButtonHero

A still-life cover for Harem Lit is a choice I don't understand but Bruce is the one with the successful writing career.

Sergio flores

What is the status of Dragon justice Kickstart merchandise? Has all book/AudioBook delivered? Im changing residential home so i don't was to lose books 7,8,9. Also i like IinSiddious idea of a memory flashback of Dar or one of his ladies in any or future books

Jose Paz III

Yes he does and not a single one of his books didn't have one of the main female characters on the cover until this

RestIsBest

Hey what happened to legendary rule the story seemed to have alot of potential? Edit: Never mind i finished the first book the mc is kinda cucky. No hate to those who like that stuff but i can see readers not seeing them selves 'walking in on your girl going down on someome else and letting other person tell you to back off and the mc just meekly just stand until your allowed to move' not resonating. Yeah I can see why a lot of guys couldn't relate to him.

Breaker 277

So my question is more on the audio side. Do you have an idea as to what you want a character to sound like as you are writing? And is it important to make each book series sound unique? Example is that you had each MC sound unique and then changed voice actors and now Ken sounds somewhat like Ard. Is that because you wanted him to sound that way? Or is it less about being unique and more about who’s available or something?

MuteButtonHero

Bruce actually has someone who goes through the comments every week or two and consolidates those that are corrections/suggestions for specific stories into notes he can review. It helps if those comments are on the specific chapter they are intended for. We're basically all beta readers for him, but paying for the privilege. A strategy I find impressive and admirable.

Mavrox

I know he said something about that some people prefer the discreet covers so people don't know what they are reading, this isn't something that really applies to digital kindle books, no one will see the cover. I could see selling a version of the physical volume with a discreet cover or they could buy hardback and take the dust jacket off while reading.

Jose Paz III

Yeah but when you're looking for these kind of books do the women attract you towards the book?

Jose Paz III

can we please get the original Ard's Oath covers back it's the cherry on top of great stories but now it looks generic and boring and it worries me about what'll happen to all the other great covers for every other story.
