Let us know what you think of his work from the standpoint of another anthropologist! :)

Just finishing up Iron Council. Afterwards I'll be moving on to The Year of Our War or The Etched City. Any recommendations which way to go?

Interesting comment in the latter interview about how he seems spell-casting tropes pass back and forth between fantasy books and RPGs and lose their flavor. How his system of "warrens" was created to break away from this and how he is trying to be vague about how it really works. By the way, I...

"Farewel, good luck in your travels."

(Waiting for politely for the previous conversation to finish) Pyior asks, "These magisters you mention, are they all members of the Brothers of Shadows organization we've heard rumors of or are there many independents as well?"

I always check out the nominee list and build a buy and consider list from it.

You seem to know the answer. It is the level you are comfortable with. But yes, you do need to keep in mind that CRs are assuming characters are equipped fairly close to the proper level.

It's a HBO show, Morrus. I've captured them but haven't watched them yet. http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/?ntrack_para1=leftnav_category0_show11

Iron Council by China Mieville.

Shhh... Mallus don't ruin his enjoyment in re-reading if he didn't pick up on it! Kind of stuff that makes Wolfe all the more fun. ;)

Thanks!

Dubbling sucks. Long live subtitles.

I've read Player of Games and Excession. Besides those two, what's your recommended reading order for the rest of the Culture series?

Pyior nods as Ys-Baddaden speaks. Before the merchants can answer Ys-Baddaden Pyior pipes up. "And what can you tell us of Sharden?"

I've read his new-long-short sun arc, and I agree he is amazing. I think his books aren't more popular simply because they aren't light fare. you really have to have your head in it, not just parsing the text but also in trying to figure out what's really going on as critical details are often...

GR has said they may consider doing a Holy Warrior 3.5 update in PDF form if there is enough interest. Let Chris know!

Pyior sighs, "You're probably right. We could easily miss Grenveld anyway, and I don't think the litorians likely following us would take kindly if we changed direction. Well think about checking in on the way back. I just hope Khajom doesn't get in over his head."

At the next resting stop, Pyior pulls out the map Iriana gave them to determine how far it is to Grenveld, and how far out of their way it is. "That wasn't pleasant, and I don't know about you but I get the feeling we're being followed. I can't help but think we should detour to Grenveld to see...

Pyior answers the leader first, "Nearby? I'm not sure about that, he didn't tell me exactly what his errand was." And then mumbles almost as if to himself "But I wouldn't mind seeing him as well." Pyior can't help but wince slightly at the word vermin, and answers the subordinate, "Um, yes...

Pyior barely keeps his jaw from dropping at the final comment. They must be members of the Trythium -- the very cult Khajom was travelling to Grenveld to investigate! Pyior stammers slightly when answering, "Khajom set off on some personal business several days ago. He didn't really fill us in...
