Hi there! I'm SerasStreams; a High School teacher and Author (RR [Profile Link](https://www.royalroad.com/profile/439454/fictions) / [Linktree](https://linktr.ee/serasstreams)).

I've reached out to more veteran authors to try to 'sponge up' as much learning as possible. But one 'guide' I've not seen around before is one that I think would be quite helpful.

[How to make a LitRPG System](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PupwpmX9cV9AG7PRgTw9kON-2T_bSx5YWTjhHp7dkw8/edit?usp=sharing) - This Google Doc will walk you through the basics of making a LitRPG system using design principles for Tabletop Role-Playing Games (which have quite a bit of overlap with the genre).

It draws on examples from my own stories (a free-form example, and a class-based example) using hyperlinks to Google Sites I put together to track my own LitRPG mechanics.

I hope this is useful to someone.
