I originally saw this on Erik Mona's blog (I think), but here's another example. Pages 4 and 5 have the best ones for my money. I'd love to see something like this in an animated movie form. I'd upload some pictures from it to give everybody an example, but I don't know how to :heh: :o

Like Whizbang's fantasy book post..... Here are mine, in no order: Hyperion by Dan Simmons Dune by Frank Herbert The Carpet Makers by Andreas Eschbach Girl, In Landscape by Jonathan Lethem Nova by Samuel R. Delaney

Kay is such a great writer. Most of his work has more of an "historical" feel than a high fantasy feel, except for this one (and maybe Tigana). The first book in the trilogy is called "The Summer Tree", and it's really good. The only things I don't like about it is his magic system and the fact...

When is the book coming out? Get on it, people.

hey, were are YOUR five?

If by Fantasy you mean traditional "fantasy" 1. Last Light Of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay (only because somebody already mentioned Tigana) 2. The Scar by China Mieville 3. A Storm Of Swords by George R.R. Martin 4. Deleriums Mistress by Tanith Lee 5. Tales of Neveryon by Samuel R. Delany The...

Worse Than Spider-Man 3 I never saw the first FF flick, but my friends said it was "enjoyable" (bad in a fun way), so I agreed to go with them to see this one, because it did actually look pretty enjoyable. ugh. Alba as Invisible Woman wasn't the only bad casting choice, for my money. That...

While I think Rivets Eternal sounds really neat (that's saying something; I'm not a big steampunk fan), I'm more interested in the last two. It's not because I'm a big FR fan (I'm not), either. The Troupe of Painted Soul sounds something right up my alley. Secret Societes and thesbianism?. Does...

Typical indie rock BS from the past couple months. New ones from Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Feist, Shins, and Blonde Redhead.

I'm finishing up on Tanith Lee's 1983 novel Anackire. It's turning out to be one of her better ones; shame it had to follow the lackluster Storm Lord... I plan on re-reading a few selections from Kelly Link's Magic For Beginners. A fine collection of short stories in a "fantastical fiction"...

Please do, if it's not too much trouble! I've already added this page to my favorites, so I won't lose it. I just went on amazon to take a gander at said novel. Bear was never an author I considered reading (not a big hard SF fan), but this sounds pretty interesting. Something about the...

This post won't help you; sorry.... :heh: I was wondering if you were basing this on the Guardians of the Flame novels. Me and my friends read the first two or so back during the 2e days, and we promptly decided to immitate the concept. We started them twice, but neither went far; only a...

Pathfinder's a def. go for me. The Adventure Paths are went kept me coming to Dungeon, and this new thing they got going is getting me all riled up; as sad as I am to see those two mags go. This digital initiative? I'd have to see it before I made a decision. I dislike paying for thing that I...

I went through the five stages of grief in about as many minutes. Yes, I had nothing but love for the magazines, and I do feel it is the end of an era.... That being said, I am SO TERRIBLY EXCITED for the new Pathfinder books. Have any of you gone over the paizo website to take a look (I went...

I'm interested in reading some of his work, but I don't quite know where to start. His Zothique tales appeal to me the most, so that's where I want to begin. Night Shade books has started a 5 volume collection of his tales, but cross checking them with this Zothique wiki, it appears that the...

For those who care to read it, an article showing both sides (Goro's and Ursula's) of the "debate".

Believe what you want, but that's what this says. I'm not saying I believe everything I read (especially online), but still. Just because something does well commercially doesn't mean it warrents artistic merit. Le Guin herself expressed disappointment in it. You can find her review Here. Be...

I'll go with some of the iconic classics, too....Mindflayers, Beholders, and Githyanki. My most recent favorite would have to be the Ethergaunts. And Giant Space Hamesters.

I second that Bonnacon vote. Napalm dung is long overdue. I'd like to see stats from R. Scott Bakers Prince of Nothing series (Sranc, Inchoroi and their "weapons of light", Bashrags, Wracu, Nonmen) but I think they might be a little to dark for regular DnD fair.

I've heard that it won the Japanese version of the Ratzzies (am I spelling that right?), you know, the awards they give to the worst movies. Also, I've heard that Hayao himself has expressed disappointment in the finished product. That being said, I really do want to see it.
