LilRPG Inc.

LilRPG Publishing Corp is an independent children’s publisher created by Mike Freeman and Josh Rottman, two lifelong friends and enterprising fathers who wanted to share the spirit of imagination they grew up with in a form their own children could hold in their hands. Instead of rulebooks or game systems, their work takes the familiar archetypes of fantasy; heroes, explorers, dreamers, protectors. It gently reshapes them into baby and early-childhood books meant for bedtime reading, nursery shelves, and family keepsakes.

The company was born from the realization that the emptions of role-playing; courage, curiosity, friendship, and discovery, translate beautifully into stories for the very young when you strip away dice, statistics, and mechanics and leave only heart and wonder. Each book is designed to be warm, simple, and enduring: the kind of gift opened at a baby shower and rediscovered years later with a smile.

Every title is dedicated to children who are part of their lives, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, the children of close friends, and even those friends who once adventured beside them and are now grown with families of their own. The dedications are a quiet through-line in the catalog, a reminder that these books are not products first, but personal offerings. LilRPG Publishing Corp exists to celebrate imagination at its earliest stages, giving families stories that feel timeless, playful, and sincere without ever needing a single rule or roll of the dice.

Best,
Josh and Mike
