Ch 172 - Stats Check & Full Stats Appendix
🕑 Added 2025-05-21 16:00:04 +0000 UTCToday we celebrate reaching the end of Nexus Runner 2!
Yeah, that massive monster of a book is a wrap! Please share what you think?
Actually, this book is so big, I may have to split it. Haven't decided yet, but it's a possibility. Do you prefer shorter or longer litRGP books? If I release this whole thing as book 2, it'll probably top 240,000 words - which is a monster. Probably end up around 26 or 27 hours of audio.
If I do cut it, one option would be to cut it more or less right after Lucas deals with Lord Ashkaroth. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea.
And here is the final Stats chapter, along with an appendix with the full stats, abilities, and titles detailed.
Enjoy! And THANK YOU for sticking with the story this far!
And . . . on to book 3!
