   SO6E37 - Spoiler Sessions: SC Culligan and Luke Daniels

   LitRPG author S.C. Culligan and narrator Luke Daniels join me to explore The Ascension Protocol—and the collaboration that brings it to life. We talk pop-culture Easter eggs, Fen’s extraordinary abilities, and the challenges of narrating battles involving his Echoes. We also dig into Seraph’s sentience, the mysteries of the Old Ones, and whether “Hardcore” offers true free will or a trap set by the system. Along the way, Luke shares his approach to voicing everyone from NPCs to ancient, god-like AIs. Luke also gives listeners a peek at several upcoming audiobook projects, including SLAY by Scott Sigler and Rob Otto, Malleable by Brody Hunsaker, and Cinder’s Edge by Gil Hess. S.C. Culligan talks about the upcoming release of Singularity’s Edge, reveals that Book 3 of The Ascension Protocol is already underway, and teases his next project—a dark tournament card-battler he describes as Mortal Kombat meets Magic: The Gathering.

   SO6E36 - Spoiler Sessions: Good vs. Evil Pre-Release Party

   GOOD VS EVIL VOLUME ONE PRE-ORDER NOW AVAILABLE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HL9M6QZC This week, the Spoiler Sessions table gets a little crowded. I’m joined by a huge group of LitRPG influencers, podcasters, reviewers, and BookTok creators for a special release-party episode celebrating Good vs. Evil: Volume 1, an upcoming collection of ten progression fantasy, LitRPG, and science-fiction short stories built around a deceptively simple idea: What happened to the good guys? Inspired in part by a conversation started by Steve Beaulieu about the disappearance of genuinely heroic characters from modern fiction, Good vs. Evil brings together stories about heroes with moral compasses—people willing to stand their ground, protect others, and face villains who are actually worth rooting against. We talk about whether unwaveringly good characters are harder to write than morally gray ones, how morality changes across settings ranging from legendary fantasy worlds to the far future, what makes a villain truly evil, and how each author approached the eternal conflict between good and evil. Along the way, our guests discuss stories from an absolutely stacked lineup of authors and narrators: TJ Lombardi & Wayne Mitchell • SerasStreams & Jeremy Frazier • Troy Osgood & Zura Johnson • AlwaysRollsAOne & Michael Norman Johnson • The Longwinded One & Andrea Parsneau • Tommy Kerper & Jonathan McClain • Jay Krauss & Luke Daniels • Plum Parrot & Daryl Mayfield • Joedan Worley & Jonathan Sleep • Malory & Neil Hellegers Even better, this is a community project with a purpose: 50% of all revenue from the collection will support a new author scholarship fund for future LitRPG Cons, helping new voices in the genre get their chance to be part of the community. Good vs. Evil: Volume 1 releases November 1 on Amazon, with the audiobook arriving January 15. I also give a quick shoutout to Royal Rogue, an upcoming progression-fantasy action roguelite featuring characters from The Path of Ascension, Calamitous Bob, Stray Cat Strut, and The Vampire Vincent. Its Kickstarter launches later this month, so keep an eye out if that sounds like your kind of game. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/critrpg/lit-rpg-a-progression-fantasy-action-roguelite Influencer Links: Wilkie World Wanderer https://www.youtube.com/@WilkieWorldWanderer https://www.tiktok.com/@wilkieworldwanderer Peter Whetzel Reads https://linktr.ee/Peterwhetzelreads https://www.buzzsprout.com/2569971 weread4xp https://www.instagram.com/weread4xp https://www.youtube.com/@weread4xp keepreadingkristen Instagram and TikTok @Kristen Schoonover (mailto:keepreadingkristen@gmail.com) https://www.mynameisdagoe.com/ (https://www.mynameisdagoe.com/) UpperPen https://upperpen.com DownstoRead https://www.tiktok.com/@downstoread CritHappens https://linktr.ee/CritHappens_Author Dennis https://linktr.ee/dennisreadslitrpg The Morrigan https://linktr.ee/Morri_Tries Jess https://iowpod.com
