Hey hey everyone,

Today we're interviewing Rhoden, the guy who writes Stubborn Skillgrinder Stuck in a Timeloop! It's a magnificent story that you should check out if you haven't! It's literally what it says on the tin, which is beyond refreshing. 

I had a great time talking to him, too! We spoke about a bunch of stuff, like his job as a police officer, the fact that this is legit his first novel (which is still unbelievable to me), and his plans for the future! :slight_smile:

Hey hey everyone,

welcome to this week's episode of the CritRPG Podcast! :smile:

Luke Chmilenko is an author who appears in the dictionary when you look up "prolific." He's written dozens of books in the last few years, co-authored several more, has released a comic, and manages his writing career at the same time.

He's one half of the Gestalt-brain that brought us Iron Prince, his own flagship series Ascend Online is not going into its 7th iteration, and he recently began releasing a web serial on his homepage.

...yep, he really is that impressive. And then you're reading his books and they're really good to boot!

Hey hey everyone,

This week, we're interviewing R.C. Joshua, author of Deadworld Isekai, How To Survive At the End of the World, and most recently Demon World Isekai. So it's easy to say he's a man of many worlds.

Besides talking about his writing, we also discussed his favourite techniques and what drives him to return to Royal Road again and again.

Also, no, he was not remote-controlled.

I checked.

Hey hey everyone,

Yeah yeah, get your sex jokes in 😄

No, let's be real, this guy is pretty damn chill, and a terrific writer to boot!

Alex Carne has written not one, not two, but MORE THAN THREE outstanding RR stories; Soul Guardian, Magic Murder Cube Marine, and Rogue Cultivator.

I personally also enjoyed the start of Eden & Echo, but hey, it's cyberpunk, so... 🙂

I've been waiting a long time for this inteview, ever since I Read Tower of Somnus last year. Cale not only tells us about his books and what informed his writing of them, but also how to balance multiple timelines, and how he juggles work and writing. He doesn't just write Tower of Somnus either, but also an amazing story about a young Kobold who really wands to be a dragon. Go check them out at the links below!
