Smith to the Small Gods

Max Vale

A75/100
Everyone knows that true Legends never die — but they do occasionally retire. After decades of bashing, slashing, and executing his way to becoming the highest-ranking Barbarian in the world, Orin Ironfinger is tired. Victorious and feared the world over, all he wants now is to embark on his long-held dream: a quiet life as a small-town blacksmith. But the Small Gods — the ones only the locals know about, who give happy blessings and small boons of favor — have other plans. What happens when the world's most terrifying Barbarian disappears and gains the favor of the gods? And how will Orin keep his true identity hidden in the charming seaside hamlet of Havenhold?

A Dream of Wings & Flame

Cocop (Cale Plamann)

B73/100
Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.

This Used To Be About Dungeons

Alexander Wales

B64/100
A comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Mostly it is about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, haggling with the squash seller, or taking care of a neglected garden. It is putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, kill monsters, and disarm traps — but when you come out, you find the perfect magic item to give to a local kid who helped you out when your cat was sick. You will have rivalries with other groups, find some dungeon eggs that need careful incubation, and help a friend build a fishing weir. There is a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic and even more to do and see.

The negative: he has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next three hundred years, reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy elves, and untold hidden dangers.
