- #46 - Jeff Hays' Manifesto for Quality, Fun and Feels, and also obviously Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Hey hey everyone,
this week, we have the one, the only, the true master of sound quality, Jeff Hays. I know I say this every week, but this has been an absolute banger of a Podcast, with laugh-out-loud moments to more somber notes throughout the middle. We discuss not only litRPG, the literary market, and our desire for quality, but also corsets, BDSM, and creamer.
Well, that last part is more of a "Patreon Material" topic, if I'm being honest, but hey, you can subscribe to that, too 😛
There's more than 100 hours of extra interviews with some of the biggest names in Progression Fantasy waiting for you there!

Hey hey everyone,
this week on the critRPG Podcast, we interview Plum Parrot, author of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams! It was a great episode to record and edit, because not only did Plum have a lot to say in regards to writing, he also asked me a lot of questions about my own stuff! The result was a more conversational podcast than usual, which I was worried about at the time, but still think came out really valuable.
Let me know what you think, and as always, thanks for being here! 🙂

So, first off, ThinkTwice and I talked for four hours in total, about everything from Characterization to writing with disabilities, and it HAS to be one of the most informative Pods I have done to date. It's magnificent, and ThinkTwice has brought so much to this interview that I struggle to put it into words.

Hey hey everyone,
this week, we're on our way through all the hells in an Interview with Phil Tucker!
This one has been an absolute doozy. We were laser-focused, and got through tons of topics, from excellent writing advice (!) to Phil's most watched anime shows, and what he loves in a story!
We also get to hear more about his new Story Ideas, and about traditional Fantasy novels he's written.

That's not all he does, though, so I hope you'll enjoy listening to this episode 🙂

Hey Hey everyone!
So this week, we're going to start an experiment. Instead of just interviewing one or two Authors, I am interviewing three!|
Joining e this week are RavensDagger, Void Herald (MAxime Durand) and Haylock! In this podcast, we don't just discuss how these fine gentlemen come up with their characters, we also discuss Raven's mom, VoidHerald's internet issues, and Haylock's tattoos 😛
But mostly, we talk about books and writing, and how we can bring worlds alive for our readers. We also discuss Anime, manga, and inspirations for our book series.
Oh, and most importantly, we explore the crucial question: How Cute?
If you want to vote on the next round of questions, please consider joining the critRPG Patreon. I will do one of these round tables every week until the heat death of the universe, or until we run out of topics. 🙂 It would help me out immensely.

Hey Hey everyone!
In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing the amazing Damien Hanson!
We talked about everything from the Origins of BuyMort to his nuanced stance on Capitalism, how it saved his child, and how cruel advertising can be in spite of it all.
We also talked about advice for aspiring authors, such as how to receive and properly understand criticism, and the way to publishing. Oh and also why car windows are evil, and how we would torture Matt Dinneman if we could :D
If you want to know more about Damien, and listen to us talk about his life in Korea, his teaching background, and how he got into boxing, please check out my Patreon for another hour of Podcast!
Up next week: Andrea |friggin| Parsneau!

Hey hey everyone,
Today we have a great interview for you: John Bierce, Author of Mage Errant! We also have cats, so this is no doubt going to be the biggest podcast episode ever. 😄
In this episode, we discuss a number of things, from Geology puns to embracing rejection to why Magic: the Gathering is a highly addictive drug 😉 We also discuss John's writing process, how Mage Errant came to be, and why fire-based liches would be a bad idea.
Next week we're going to discuss BuyMort... 😄

Hey hey everyone,
To send this year off in style, I have a very special guest for you. His name is Travis Baldree, and he did pretty much everything a nerd would ever want to do.
In this podcast, we're not only talking about his #1 NYT Best Selling, Award-Winning, Ass-Kicking Books, we also go deep into how video game culture has changed, why making games may break your heart, and what we can do to make litRPG and progression fantasy grow as a genre. (Also why that might seem scary, but really isn't.)
As always, there's an hour more on Patreon! For $5 a month, you get access to more than 30 hours of additional podcasts, unscripted and mostly uncut.
It's the after-dark part 😉
P.S. I will take January off! See you in February!

Hey hey everyone,
today we welcome madness with open arms 🙂 (And also Ostensible Mammal, Author of Godclads!)
It's been a crazy episode, that's for sure. We talked about everything from burning down orphanages to not sleeping (and how it benefits you as a writer) to more serious topics like leaning into discomfort, how to write horror, and Art in the Age of its Mechanical Reproduction! 🙂
On Patreon, we talked about even more outrageous stuff, like Dragon Necromancers, the end of all existence, how to improve your prose, and writing advice for people who have read all the books already.

Hey hey everyone,
welcome to another episode of the CritRPG Podcast! It's been a little more than half a year, and the growth we have experienced is quite astonishing, actually! 🙂
With me today is K.T. Hanna / Arithion, author of many fun books, including the recently released Library System Reset: Overdue.
We spoke about so many things in this podcast it's kinda hard to sum it all up. As we discussed, we both have ADHD (and I was getting sick with Covid at the time) so this one is a RIDE.
I do distinctly remember that puns were involved, though. Lots and lots of puns. God. So many puns...
Joke aside, we talked about mental health, neurodiversity, the physical mechanics of writing, and even more fun stuff in the Patreon Material 🙂
