The Trickster's Tale

Is That a Lute in Your Pocket? A LitRPG Adventure (The Tricksters Tale, Book 1)

By: J Pal

Narrated by: Gary Furlong, Annie Ellicott, Jeff Hays

Everyone wants to be the chosen one.

The job's perks often involve overpowered abilities, world-breaking equipment, and an eager line of bodacious partners.

But due to a goddess' clumsy meddling, a struggling musician named Perry ends up accidentally transmigrated alongside her true chosen one with none of the above.

Demanding a portal home or reparations for his bereaved family doesn't win him respect either. Instead, he finds himself thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and a wisecracking System. His courage wins him nothing but severely diminished proportions and a brand that severely limits his combat potential.

Little does the goddess know that nothing can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane powers won't get him the justice he desires, bardic wit, musical talent, and creativity will.

Perry's first target? A goblin shaman. Then, the world.

The next LitRPG series from the hit author of They Called Me Mad and The Houndsman is here! Trickster's Tale has everything you love from the genre and more laughs than you can shake a lute at.

Delightful romp and excellent voice cast

The narrators made this fun adventure more lively and exciting. Great story; exceptional performance. I would recommend this listen to any lit RPG and/or Isekai fans

Great story

I greatly enjoyed listening to this story, I especially like the character of Dr. who.

Great story, fun characters

I look forward to more books in the series. I was a little apprehensive at first to have an MC without combat skills, but it was great and maybe even more relatable.

Nice book for litRPG, isekai, and music lovers.

Very entertaining and an excellent performance by the whole cast. the reference to modern music play well with the story and don't feel shoehorned into the book.

bonus points for being the second litRPG (that I know of) featuring Jeff Hayes and a reference to Wonderwall.

a good listen

started slowly, but picks up after listening. can't wait to start the second book. a great story.
