Hello everyone, welcome to episode 184 of the LitRPG podcast. For the full show notes visit us at: https://litrpgpodcast.com/litrpg-podcast-184 


I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews.  


This week I’m talking to one of the men responsible for the popularization of LitRPG in both Russia and the United States. 


The author of the best selling series The Way of the Shaman series, as well as Galactogon series, Dark Paladin series, and most recently a new Barliona series called : Invasion.  


Welcome Vasily Mahanenko!


For the people that don’t know you, tell us a little about yourself and your background?


You just released a new book set in the same universe as Way of the Shaman, the Barliona Universe, Called Invasion. Tell me a little about it.


Does this story tie into the Way of the Shaman or are there any easter eggs? 


I personally noted the character, Eredani, is on the prisoner program that hides his real identity but he’s actually a veteran player who knows about the Crafting skill exploit. Is he someone famous from the Way of the Shaman series?

  • OMG. He actually answers this question before I even get a chance to ask it!

Give us an insight into your main character, Brody West aka Kvalen. What does he do that is so special?


What are you working on at the minute?

-Co-Authored: Bard of Barlino series

-Edited: Dancing on the Block, by  Marina Barinova 

-Publishing in Russia: Cosimo Yap’s The Gam3 series. How did that go?



Is there anything else you would like to add that I haven’t included?

Author Interview - Aaron Jay #2 Spoilers

AaronJayInterview2.jpg

Welcome everyone. I’m Ramon Mejia from the LitRPG Podcast. Every week I bring you the latest LitRPG, news, reviews, and author interviews.

****Spoilers Ahead***********

This week I have the privilege of speaking to an author whose debut novel, Beginner’s Luck (http://amzn.to/2zh0OXb ), a novel with 225 reviews on Amazon, of which 92% are 4 or 5 star reviews. He is releasing the 2nd book in that series called, Gathering Strength (https://amzn.to/2s9UGyN ) on Jan. 1st, 2019.

Welcome to the show, Aaron Jay.

Now just as a heads up to anyone that is watching this interview/talk is going to spoil the heck out of both Beginner’s Luck and Gathering Strength. We’ve already done a normal author interview with Aaron on episode 76 of the podcast (https://youtu.be/cOwDBQysYEc ). So this time I’ll be talking to him in person, live.

That’s right, the guy drove down to my house to do this, that’s how much he loves LitRPG and wants you to buy his book. But in that same vein, I figured we could have a real conversation about what it’s like to be an author, talk shop about storytelling, actually ask questions about why he made certain story choices, and what’s in store for the future of the series.

Author Interview - Charles Dean

Today I have the pleasure of talking to Charles Dean, author of such amazing LitRPG series as:

and War Aeternus (https://amzn.to/2QAwnIS ).

Now Charles and I have been friends for a while. He and I first started talking when I made a error with the name of one of his series in the review I gave it on the LitRPG Podcast recommendation page. I called it the Bathroom Knight, and he e-mailed me and pointed out that while a story about a a plumber who fought evil would be great, the series was called the Bathrobe Knight. We’ve been friends ever since.
