    About this series

    Sometimes what you're buying isn't what they're expecting to sell

     

    Earth as a new Dungeon World means opportunities and dangers galore. One of the enduring aspects of the System is the Shop, an interdimensional series of stores that compete for the opportunity to service clients and make a profit doing so.

     

    New clients on a new Dungeon World mean rare and heretofore unseen items and massive profits. No surprise that the vultures have arrived, searching for easy marks.

     

    Good thing the Council have their own methods of dealing with such matters.

     

    Interdimensional Window SHOPping is a short story set in the System Apocalypse universe created by Tao Wong. The System Apocalypse is a completed post-apocalyptic LitRPG series.

      What happens when the apocalypse is over; to love, strained and torn?   How do you pick up the pieces, when life stabilises?   It's a question our heroes must ask themselves, when they're no longer fighting off swarms of monsters, no longer struggling for Credits and Levels.   Valentines in the Apocalypse is set four years after the System Apocalypse has arrived, between books 5 and 6 of the System Apocalypse and features new characters. The story is set in Vancouver, BC.

      Every moment, filmed. Every struggle, recorded.   Day to day life is hard for film students. Whether you're an editor, a scriptwriter or a videographer, it's never easy. More so when an apocalypse has arrived, taking with it the industry you've dedicated your life to and leaving you with Skills ill-suited to a post-apocalyptic fantasy hellscape.   But humans are adaptable and Skills, with just a touch of imagination, can be wielded with precision.   And if there's one thing this party has, it's imagination galore.   A New Script is set in the second year of the apocalypse (between books 4 and 5) and features new characters.

But it'll require Wendy to do the one thing she swore she'd never do again.   Fight monsters.   This is a short in the System Apocalypse universe, featuring a new character in Exeter, UK.

      Some quests require ass-kicking; others require clothing designers.   The System Apocalypse has brought the clothing industry, and just about everything else, to a grinding halt. Now Lana Pearson intends to kickstart the local industry into gear to help Vancouver self-sustain itself. Key to her strategy are special teams of non-combat Classes.   Meg, Hanna, Cassidy and Obrav are Cosplayers, Tailors, Models and more. Not your usual team combination at all. But it’s not your usual Quest they’ve been given. If they’re going to meet Lana’s needs, they’re going to have to think outside the sewing pattern.   Adventures in Clothing is a short story by Tao Wong, set in the bestselling post-apocalyptic universe the System Apocalypse.

      What’s in a Title? That which the System gives by any other Title might not smell as sweet.   In the System Apocalypse, a single Title can make or break a build. And in the entire Galactic System, there are Title Seekers, those who make it their life quest to acquire the most unusual and rare Titles possible.   Earth, a new Dungeon World offers multiple possibilities. Not least among them, the one from a familiar set of golden arches. For the Kyaz, it’s a chance in a million to get a rare Title. If he can manage to evade the machinations of a fellow Title Seeker and trust his human sidekick, Xi Ping.
