Gotta pay my respects to THE Australian fantasy novel, and I’d argue one of the first Australian litRPGs (“games” being core to the narrative)

Let’s play some catchup, shall we?:

1. We are Harpies Nest, made up of a GM (@catog.bsky.social) and a player from the game that served as inspiration for 2000 Years of Hatred
