A Home Called Blade's Rest: A Low-Stakes Town Building LitRPG

Written by Tom Watts

Narrated by Ryan Burke

Hello, friend. Welcome back to Blade's Rest!

Battles, quests, the end of the world-it can all be so draining sometimes. Why not escape into a story where fighting isn't the only way to level up?

Come to a place where you'll get a mug of tasty beer and a bowl of hearty winter stew to warm your belly. Relax in a tavern on a cozy winter evening with the gentle flames of a hearth flickering nearby.

Does that sound like what you need right now? If so, you came to the right place.

Josh and his fellow builders are expanding Blade's Rest with the dream of achieving "town" status one day. This means there's a lot of work to do, problems to solve, ales to savor, and pies to enjoy.

But as Josh discovers, the bigger your settlement, the bigger your headaches. Luckily, he's got two best friends who'll always help him, and a community of folks ready to lend a hand.

With a never-give-up attitude and a lot of hard work, he knows he can make Blade's Rest a thriving place. So why not put down your sword, pick up a crafting hammer, and join him in making Blade's Rest a haven for weary adventurers?
