New achievement: LitRPG Author!

Inspired by the gamebreaking success of Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights With Monsters? This bundle has everything you need to design your own epic setting and LitRPG series.

LitRPGs combine fantasy and science fiction with tabletop RPG and video game tropes, forcing a fish out of water protagonist to find their footing in a world they don’t understand. How will the hero overcome the strict rules of the game?

The genre is bursting with creative opportunities. The LitRPG Writer Essentials Bundle can help you create the world, rules, and characters your hero will face!

This wide array of writing prompts will help you:

  • Write and track the rules of your setting.
  • Create quirky NPCs to add humor and texture to a scene.
  • Generate plot twists to surprise your characters, your readers, and yourself.

LitRPG has emerged as one of hottest and fastest growing genres as the reading public has become more familiar with gaming tropes. It’s also a young genre, so there are plenty of opportunities for your series to stand out. Who is your protagonist and how are they different? What is it about your setting that your protagonist struggles with? How does the system challenge your protagonist? And how will you keep it all straight?

The cards in this bundle help you expand your setting, add depth to your characters, and track your story. Catching your character off guard by suddenly shifting biomes or unveiling a new faction is as easy as drawing a prompt from a new storytelling or worldbuilding expansion.

With this flexible tool for telling and tracking stories, you’ll be able to:

  • Make each level feel unique - and create a protagonist who will have to learn to adapt in all of them.
  • Drive your story forward with loot, achievements, and clear objectives.
  • Set up subplots and sidequests with simple prompts, then grow them into main quests when you’re ready to give them your full attention.
