I sat down to talk with debut LitRPG author Joedan Worley about Wayspring Wanderer, a desert survival story where a wounded Marine becomes a druid whose greatest power is finding water. Craft, worldbuilding, grief, and a pangolin named Penny collide in a conversation about purpose, progression, and hope without shortcuts.
• Oscar’s transformation, loss, and search for his brother
• A druid in a dying desert where finding water means life or death
• Reimagined kobolds and lore influences
• Character-first writing and distinct voices
• Mental health, self-talk, and pushing through
• Penny the pangolin and why companions resonate
• Stakes, consequence, and avoiding convenience
