LitRPG News
Michael Scott Earle did not win his court case against Amazon so he will not be returning to that platform to publish. Instead, he’s decided to sell his novels directly to his fans and even start a kickstarter to fund future works with lots of great stretch goals.
In only a couple days, the response to MSE putting his works back up for sale have been astounding with many fans buying everything that’s available all at once.
You can purchase all MSE’s novels at with many 1st books in series being free: https://www.michaelscottearle.com/books-1
Michael Chatfield announced this week that he’s been working on not only new books for everyone but an actual RPG game. It’s still in the works it has a tentative release date of 2020.

The LitRPG Podcast was at DragonCon this year and we not only visited plenty of vendors and our fellow LitRPG author’s groups, but also some of the panels they were on. It was soo fun to meet so many great authors, narrators, and fans. We recorded some of the panels as well as our travels around the con and all the amazing cosplay including some by our own narrators and fans.
Check out the LitRPG Podcast Facebook page and YouTube page to check out the videos.
