Some isekai heroes from today’s PAX TTRPG sessions:
- a healer with white girl dreads who realigns chakras so bad it hurts
- a snake with rune fangs

Hi Chris - sorry, this was one of the things that I didn’t quite have in time for launch. The art has been sketched and is being finished now so it will be in very soon!

Here’s the full cover as drawn by @limelemons27.bsky.social! All of her previous covers for the franchise appear as artworks throughout the book too, including her art of the goddess Launrith, Sage Yuya Muto and the villainous Glitched Adventurer.

The cover of This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! with a lady knight, a short wizard in black, a catgirl in a maid dress and a short furry monster with a big backpack all outdoors on an adventure.

I had the chance to read this a while back and it’s so funny - every hero is the most undercooked character your friends made when you first started D&D, the dungeons are filled with terrible ideas, and poor Zavier is having to try and rewrite it all on the fly. Really great stuff

Ettin @ettin.itch.io · Aug 23

My current TTRPG project (Wetrunner) should release next week. I'm pleased to announce that when it does, I'm jumping straight into my next project:

CRINGE WIZARD, a TTRPG isekai light novel! I wrote it years ago based on a joke tweet! I'm doing a proper digital release with art now!

Played this at a convention a few years ago and had a lot of fun! The dice resolution mechanic is cool - it doesn’t just matter what you roll, but where those dice land on your character sheet as well. I’m also a long time Zoids fan so a big hit for me
