I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews. I have a shorter show this week because I’m recording earlier than normal. I have 4 new reviews just for you and some great LitRPG news.

New Releases and Reviews:

The ANKH Resurrectionist Chronicles: OhmN (12:19)

Somerset (The Rules Book 1) (17:08)

Additionally, Soundbooth Theater performed at the Independent Audiobook Awards 2019. They did a skit called "Meta Narrators" by Emily Labes, and played the song "The Chase and Iris Theme" from "Monster Hunt NYC" by Harmon Cooper.

Also, the LitRPG Podcast moderated the GameLit/LitRPG panel at the Here Now Festival. Originally live streamed on Facebook Live, the sound and video are a little choppy.

While there is official footage and a broadcast live, we also recorded our own footage of the LitRPG/GameLit stuff for you to enjoy.
