Fantastic read as always Richard. Q1) Where did you get the cover for Playing the Game?

I will take your recommendation for The Sleeping Dragon, but will probably pass on Dream Park. It sounds intriguing, but I have a feeling the paper-thin female characters will ruin it for me.

I loved what you've said, I've enjoyed some of the litRPGs I've read, but some of them have been painful. (And unfortunately the paper-thin female characters don't seem to have gone away). One that was a bit different that I read recently is "He Who Fights Monsters" - it's got a comedic element that I appreciate and doesn't focus so much on the stats.

Looking forward to Part 2!

I bought both of them roughly when the came out , and before that Andre Norton had one out in 1981 Quag Keep.
