Jim the Curious Puppy
by Ryan Rimmel
2022
In this Noobtown children’s tale, Jim the puppy heads out on his very first role playing style adventure, chasing curiosity, collecting a little experience, and learning what it means to be a hero, long before any human mayor steals his name.
Series background & context
Noobtown Children's is a lighthearted spin off set in the same world as the main Noobtown novels, built around the in world picture book Jim the Curious Puppy. In the adult series, that title is mentioned again and again as the most famous children’s story on all of Ordinal, and this book finally lets readers see it for themselves.
On the page, Jim the puppy is curious in every sense, poking his nose into trouble and treating the world like one big quest log. The story follows his first small adventure in a role playing style setting, where even a young dog can pick up experience, face simple challenges, and learn what it means to be brave in a world that works on game rules.
It is written to be read aloud, with a focus on short scenes, clear stakes, and a tone that stays playful even when things get a little dangerous.
For adult fans of Noobtown, there is an extra layer of fun in seeing how this story lines up with the fictional picture book that haunts Jim the human. In the main series he is constantly reminded that his perfectly normal Earth name is, in Ordinal, about as serious as naming a person Spot, because everyone associates it with this adventurous puppy. The children’s book leans into that joke without requiring any background knowledge to enjoy it.
From a series perspective, Noobtown Children's gives the wider universe a different texture. Instead of status screens and long combat scenes, you get illustrations, repeated phrases, and gentle humor aimed at younger readers, while still nodding toward quests, rewards, and the idea of growing stronger through small choices. Parents who already like LitRPG can use it as a low stakes way to share that flavor with kids.
Right now the line consists of Jim the Curious Puppy as a standalone, so there is no tricky reading order to manage. If more entries appear, they are likely to keep that mix of cute adventure, game flavored structure, and winks back at the larger Noobtown saga.
