I recently ended up at a wedding seated next to someone from Matt Dinniman's literary agency. Not knowing this, I sheepishly brought up my obsession with the Wandering Inn and tentatively asked if she'd heard of LitRPG. Her response blew me away. It was literally like Will Ferrel's character in Zoolander: "OMG LITRPG?!? That's SO hot right now." Seriously, she was saying that everyone in publishing had been blown away by the success of Dungeon Crawler Carl and now literary agents and publishers are desperately trying to find the next LitRPG hit.

I bring this up so people know that supporting these works when they go to print via traditional publishers even if you're all caught up is having a transformational effect not only for those authors but for LitRPG as a genre as a whole. There's a ton of momentum behind it from DCC but supporting HWFM, TWI, and the next one to make it has the potential to cement LitRPG as a core genre rather than a one hit wonder.

*I'm in no way affiliated with any of these authors or their publishers. I'm just a big fan of the genre :)

I've seen a number of posts asking about access to the first few volumes since they're no longer available for free on the website. I hope that everyone goes out and buys a copy of the book or ebook (or borrows one from your public library!) but I understand not being ready to make that commitment if you're just hearing about TWI for the first time.

As a lover of the Wandering Inn, I want everyone to be able to read the series so I'm offering to gift a one month Patreon subscription to start the series for anyone for whom it no longer being free is an obstacle. I'm confident that once you've had a taste you'll be eager to buy the book or ebook or become a longterm Patreon subscriber yourself. If you or a friend need a subscription to start reading, please DM me.
