I don't mind at all. I would have to be pretty arrogant to assert a right to be considered, given as all I did was cut and paste. I don't envy you the task of translating some of this recondite vocabulary. If the target language has a good translation of Jack Vance you might find some good...

I haven't heard any response from Sep at all. Sorry!

I would have thought that Tales of Wyre was impossible to publish, due to the presence of so much intellectual property belonging to WotC. I'll see if I can get in touch with Sep, but it has been quite a few years since I last communicated with him. As for the artists... Man, I'll have to...

I have a gmail address from 2006. I'll send him a note.

Just chiming in, here. I too find the side-doohickey very distracting and unpleasant. Mind you, I mostly just lurk nowadays. And check to see if Tales of Wyre has updated. ;) edit: This was on Firefox, btw. Oh, and I added the "addthis" thingies to the adblock filter and the widget disappeared!

Steven Gould's Exo (fourth in the "Jumper" series) came out yesterday on Kindle. I devoured it first thing in the morning, and then in the afternoon I read it again. :D It's wonderful. Gould's Jumper, Wild Side and (to a lesser extent) Helm are all books I've read many times. He has a gift of...

And I'm quoted in it! (Near the bottom) I have to disagree with Eadric being a chaste hero, though. Except early on - but after he started dating Soneillon... :blush:

The third novel of "Harry Potter and the Natural 20" has started over at fanfiction.net. (It's called "Harry Potter and the Save-or-Die" but is just appended to the end of the first two volumes for convenience.) I'm very excited about it - I thought the author had lost interest. Basically the...

Continuing my superhero binge. I finished the Edgewood Series by Karen McQuestion and Christopher Nelson's The Fire in My Eyes. I didn't particularly care for either of them. Edgewood is a teen-superhero novel; every sixteen years a small number of teenagers gets superpowers, which reach a...

I read Charles Stross's latest Laundry Files novel yesterday: The Rhesus Factor. Imaginative, complex plot, lots of heart. And incredible writing: How can you not love a book that includes writing like the following? Great book, but if you haven't read any of the Laundry Files, you should...

Has anyone done any fan-fic set in the story universe? It would be kind of neat if an author with a good thesaurus and a lot of esoteric knowledge tried their hand at advancing the story.

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November! (Guy Fawkes day bump)

Halloween Bump!

Pre-Halloween Bump.

Originally posted by Sepulchrave II on 04-28-2012 There's a fair bit of linguistic and symbolic hokey-pokey going on on the tomb: Ƿéostru or Ƿéostrig in Old English (Thiustri in Old Saxon) means “dark, darkness, gloominess,” both literally and metaphorically; it is often used to translate...

Originally posted by Sepulchrave II on 04-26-2012 ** Soneillon lounged upon the bed within the main suite at Deorham, studying the glyphs etched into the tablet which Tozinak had bestowed upon her, and considered their import. Some agency was at work, although she could not determine...

I'm still gathering my thoughts- superb installment, I can't imagine why Sepulchrave is unhappy with it. I really like the fact that this installment came out during Easter. Death and Resurrection being themes for the season. I seem to recall seeing the stats of a Regent of Oronthon a long...

Notes Soneillon’s Bitch-Slap Soneillon’s famous bitch-slap was made against a flat-footed Eadric and consisted of the equivalent of a surprise action trip attack followed by a full tendril attack routine to subdue. The attack was glossed (or ‘skinned,’ to use modern parlance) as a single slap...
