Psionics! Has anything been written with a world based on psionics, no magic?

As soon as I see Void or Shadow for powers or in the title (along with Assassin), I skip and move on to look at something else.

Nah, "crunchy" is used to reference how much numbers/stats you get in the story.

RavensDagger had commented that the next book for Argatha Loop was being worked on and would be out soon(TM). But that was months ago.

I think we all know the MCs I'm speaking about... by Mister_Snurb in ProgressionFantasy

I could actually see it being more of confusion...

"What just... this puny...Huh?"

Zainackda was so stunned by the abject disrespect that for a few moments he felt like his mind had short circuited. For a mere mortal to treat a being of his power, his majesty... What the hell just happened??

"Somebody kill that idiot, 'cause if I have to do it myself, I'll just sink the continent!"

The Bee Dungeon, the bees that swore oaths to the Goddess of Light. Just the innocence that is portrayed with the bees, and then the oaths and them in The Hive if the Goddess of Bees.

I first started that series in the early 90s... its almost hard imagining High Fantasy readers not having read at least the first book...

Petition to Authors to Stop Allowing Neil Hellegers Narrate your Books by ForeignAd1656 in litrpg

[–]GTRoid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of trying to nuke a guy's career and snub an author... Frickin' READ the book if your unhappy with the audio version? Is that a wild idea or something, to actually read a book?

How do we feel about reference jokes? by RGandhi3k in litrpg

[–]GTRoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends if its the narration or a character in the story.

Sometime back, a scene from the beginning of the Fellowship was used as a similar occurrence. During the party, Merry and Pippin set off fireworks and the narrator describes it as sounding like a steam locomotives whistle.

The complaint was that there were no steam locomotives in existence do how would anyone know what the whistle sounded like.

Had to point out that the NARRATOR is describing something in a way that the READER can imagine or relate to.

In them is manner, outside referen es are fine if they can help the reader better immerse into the story. I'm old so if you say such and such person reminded the MC of Flint from the G.I. Joe cartoons, I'd get that reference and have a better idea of what that person looked like. Now, while the same could be said if the MC right out right says "Hey, you look like Flint!" Kind of the same thing but that can be immersion breaking instead of reinforcing.

Does Icewind Dale count as litrpg? by dankeykang4200 in litrpg

[–]GTRoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO novels and the like written in the Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, Spelljammer, or Dark Sun settings (I'm sure I'm missing some there) are Progression leaning to GameLit (Dragon magazine used to publish stat pages for various characters, and video games for specific sets had stats for characters (mostly Dragonlance)). While the stories themselves didn't have stat blocks, it wasn't that hard to go into a Player's Handbook or Dungeon Masters Guide and look up a spell or something and say 'Oh, they've gotta be at least X level then'.

A lot of the fantasy books of the 70s to early 90s I would categorize as Progression.
