Metagamer Chronicles

Complete Collection, Books 1-3

By: Xavier P. Hunter

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Gary Burns thought he’d created a masterpiece. Instead, he’d created a prison for his friends - and himself.

Gary Burns just wanted to create the greatest RPG campaign of his gaming career. But a freak magical accident sucks him into the very world he created - as himself.

Surrounded by heroes who look and sound like his friends, Gary is forced to play out the story he wrote. Worthless in a fight, Gary must prove himself valuable even if it means feeding the team insider knowledge.

Because he needs to keep his friends close - and himself alive - until he can solve the puzzle he never designed: how to get everyone back home.

Metagamer Chronicles puts the RPG into LitRPG, taking the ever-growing GameLit genre back to its tabletop roots. If you miss the rattle of dice and gaming at a table with your friends, the Metagamer Chronicles are what you've been craving. Fans of Dungeons and Dragons and old TSR novels will love Metagamer Chronicles.

Fun story

Good story and performance. I feel the character sheet was read off in it's entirety too often.

this was amazing to say the least

the ending was perfect and everything that happened in-between was fantastic I hope to see more sometime

great ttrpg style story

I'm surprised this book has as few reviews as it does and I'm definitely going to try to spread it around. this book is probably one of my favorite ttrpg style stories that I found to date, and I have read quite a few.

Great but with drawbacks

The amount of times the character sheet got read in its entirety was very annoying. But great world and story

A bold epic!

I hope that this author has more! I loved every second. Who would have thought litRpg would be so skillful and brilliant!
Some of the issues brought up by others are petty, and evidence of lacking Game Mastering experience. People have flaws, we can act on what we know but might not.
Players can be coarse, profane, perverse, and derail the adventure.
This isn't a power fantasy. Converting real world people to match game statistics and rules can give you some very disappointing results. How many of you have ability scores above 14? The bell curve is both accurate and cruel...
Me?
Well at the age of 17 I was running 4 minute miles, swimming laps across the public area of whiskey town lake, an artist and a marksman. Oh, I rarely ever got sick. I took martial arts classes ; taekwondo, and kenpo.
In terms of might, I have worked on roofing jobs were I regularly had to lift and carry 80 lbs bundles of shingles. Often two at a time.
I have tested and have a 142 I.q. I enjoy electrical engineering. I am a c-d student though when it comes to advanced subjects; calculus, chemistry, digital logic, and physics.
So, I would have some very good ability scores.
