  • #49 - Kyle Kirrin on Travis Baldree, Shadeslinger, and the Importance of Being Frank!

    #49 - Kyle Kirrin on Travis Baldree, Shadeslinger, and the Importance of Being Frank!
    Jun 2 2024

    Hey hey everyone,


    so this week we have a special, because Ripple System 5 is coming out in 3 days from now, and I AM SO STOKED, YOU GUYS! 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. Oh and we gush about Travis Baldree a lot.


    So basically, if you love Shadeslinger, this is the podcast for you!


    P.S. We did have a bit of an audio issue throughout the podcast, which made it hard for me to edit this episode. So if the quality is a bit off, I'm sorry!

    #48 - SYSTEMATIC DECONSTRUCTION! A Round table Discussion on how to build your FAVOURITE Systems!
    May 26 2024

    Hey hey everyone,


    this week, I have another round table discussion for you. This time, it's all about the sweet, sweet systems that we know and love. Whether it's a hard-coded litRPG system or crunchy magic, Shirtaloon, RavensDagger, John Bierce and I got you covered.


    Oh and yeah, we also oogle John's cats. A LOT. They're all adorable and not distracting at al, what are you talking about.

    #47 - Noret Flood Didn't Think About His Readers At All
    May 19 2024
    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. As always, I hope you enjoyed listening to the Pod as much as I loved recording it.-M-----------------------------------------If you want to listen to the entire podcast without ads, PLUS at least an hour of additional content for EVERY EPISODE, here's a link to our Patreon! https://linktr.ee/madix3(You can also find my own book here 🙂 )I am active in these Discords and Groups!
