For LitRPG & progression fantasy
LitRPG writing software that tracks the whole system
LitRPG lives or dies on its numbers. Clifford is LitRPG writing software built to track stats, levels, skills, and inventory chapter by chapter, so a strength score in chapter forty never contradicts what you wrote in chapter three.
The system is the promise you make to readers
Progression fantasy readers keep score. They notice when a skill jumps two tiers with no level-up, when an item vanishes and comes back, when a stat block does not add up. Tracking all of that in a spreadsheet alongside your draft is a second job. Clifford makes it part of writing: the tracker sits next to your prose and moves with it.
LitRPG author tools in one place
Stat tracker
Per-chapter stat snapshots that show how a character's numbers change over the story. See the LitRPG stat tracker.
Skills & inventory
Track skills, abilities, and loot with the chapter they were gained or lost, so the system state is always correct.
Continuity checks
Sweep a chapter or a whole book for number and item contradictions with the continuity tracker.
Series carryover
Characters and their builds carry into the next book, so a long progression arc stays coherent across the whole series.
Built for the way you actually publish
Whether you serialize on Royal Road, run a Patreon backlog, or draft toward a box set, Clifford keeps the system straight across a fast release schedule. Paste each chapter as you finish it and the tracker updates; import an existing book and it catalogues the whole system in one pass.
New to building a system? Start from the free LitRPG stat sheet template, then move into the app when you want it to track itself.
LitRPG writing software FAQ
- Is this different from progression fantasy writing software?
- They are the same audience. LitRPG leans on explicit game-style stats and system screens; progression fantasy centers on power growth. Clifford tracks both: numbers when you use them, and skill or ability progression when you do not.
- Can it handle a stat block that changes every chapter?
- Yes. Stats use per-chapter snapshots, so each chapter can carry its own values. The stat tracker shows the whole progression at a glance.
- What does it cost?
- Clifford is free to start. Pricing covers the free plan and what Pro adds for series and bulk book import.
