In honor of this release, I interviewed the one, the only, Kyle Kirrin!We're talking about basically everything from his time using a chainsaw on a daily basis to how he enjoys life in the wilds more than in the city, but we also get some great writing advice and insights into how he came up with Frank and the way his books sustain their tension even though they're "just" VRMMORPG books.

Hey hey everyone,this week, we interview the person I am convinced spawned the Chad meme, Noret Flood. Not only did he write one of the most beloved litRPG Series of all time, he also finished it, the madman, at 2470+ chapters. The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound is a book that every litRPG Enthusiast should have at least tried, a surprisingly nuanced take on the System Apocalypse genre, especially in the later books. With that being said, we did laugh a lot, and I had to cut some jokes short because we would just end up giggling for a couple of minutes, but that's Noret for you.

Hey hey everyone,this week on the critRPG Podcast, we interview Plum Parrot, author of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams!
