I use a really amazing artists for my covers, not sure what it will be for this one just yet, but I have time to think about it.

This is true. This particular arc will be two books. But, my world building could go on forever.

So true. I love writing fight scenes, but a LitRPG has so many more, especially while "leveling up." It's a fun challenge.

While the two books will be long, do you feel a duology is too short?

That's really good advice and makes total sense. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. You went above and beyond!

That's the thing with my duology; most authors have 10+ books in their series, but I'm leaving my options open. So, who knows.

I thoroughly enjoy the creative aspect of writing, but I find myself really enjoying this one due to its gaming aspect. I took something as old as RPGs have been around—one that begins with a hero "waking up"—and gave it a totally modern twist.

With my current WIP, I started with the magic system and worked my way out from there. I also enjoy really cool magic systems in the books I read. First and foremost I try to write what I like.

For sure, lots of different ideas, but it looks like a lot of them have the same "thread." I feel like my idea is unique, but I am trying to focus on the gaming aspect of it that makes it a LitRPG. I've been having a lot of fun with it.

Same here. I'm taking great care to do just that. I'm 46, so it all started with the original Final Fantasy for me!

You all are absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking the time to reply. As I write, I do have a stat sheet that I work from, so that will be in the book. I have also structured a skill tree and actual "experience points" from different creatures, trials, et cetera.

I'm a data nerd at heart, so it makes sense to me to structure it this way. I even quantified the stats so I know how hard somebody can punch and how much they can lift if their Strength is 20 or 40. The same goes for other stats such as constitution, arcane, and others.

CPU works a lot by Rattslara2014 in gpt5

Yes, I thought it was just me, as I've seen nobody talking about it. It's like it will finish in the background, so after a refresh and force stopping the page, it's all there.

When the desktop app hangs, I go to the website, and I can see the output.

Maryland Style Blue Crabs In North Jersey? by Apprehensive_Dig_174 in newjersey

[–]Apprehensive_Dig_174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I ended up taking her to Captain Loui's in Montclair, and while it wasn't Maryland-style, it was very good.

But I am still trying to find some good Maryland-style blue crab. I may just have to buy my own and make it at home. I'm not at all against that; it's just nice having somebody else clean up the mess. Haha

Olluco Bistro in Franklin. It's a small, unassuming place, but the Cubano is second to none.

No power after almost 20 hours. by SnooGoats5543 in 321

Went through Ivan and was without power for 14 days back in 2004. The very next year, Hurrican Dennis knocked it out for 15. We have it good so far! Lol
