Neither optimistic nor pessimistic at this point. It needs an "inspired by Tolkien" label since there isn't really enough to tell detailed stories in this era that are actually Tolkien's writing ... so from a "canon" standpoint this is fan fiction. But hey, if its good fan fiction, I'll watch...

Agree 100%.

That would be fun. I hope it sees the light of day and do it justice. It deserves better than what Shannara got.

Well, he is the paladin. His player is playing to type.

There's a Lost in Space reboot? Oh, Netflix.

Da Bearsh! Tigers eat sheep, right?

I have both generations of the C7 game and am a Kickstarter backer for the Free League version. They do some fantastic products so I'm looking forward to the final delivery. The pdfs look great, and on initial scan there doesn't appear to be significant changes from C7's last edition so there...

Man, Christopher Tolkien is dead; it's uncool to speak of him this way. // (Only 50% tongue in cheek; CT was pretty narrow-minded in access to the material even as he pumped up the publishing of unfinished works.)

The party should include a ranger, barbarian, magician, thief, cavalier, and acrobat. Plus have a unicorn sidekick and work for an on-screen mentor named "Dungeon Master."

You go Darlene! Now, I don't want to come across as clownist, but clowns scare the hell out of me. Not sure if that's a legit phobia or I'm just weird. Maybe both; they aren't mutually exclusive.

I trust EN World's Geek Media forum more than critics or user scores. The inmates residents here are much more likely to be a good judge of what I want to see. Same. The occasional good show -- and with Expanse, WoT, etc they've been more than just occasional -- is a bonus.

Oh, lord, the origin of the nilbog. If you ever want to make your hack 'n slashers crazy, throw nilbogs at them.

Well, Moraine gets sidelined for an important story reason, though I guess they could compress that into an episode or two. I don't recall Lan being sidelined all that long in story time (given that a relatively short time gets stretched into three plus novels).

Grilled cheese sammiches for NSWSF lunch yesterday and I tried the mayo instead of butter thing for the first time. It grilled up quite nicely for a beautiful finish on the bread. It did alter the flavor profile slightly so I think I'm going back to butter next time.

Cool. With American Thanksgiving so close to Christmas and the turkey being the traditional meal there, we don't often do two birds this close together. The Shiverspouse was considering "Chinese turkey" (aka duck) but as I'm not a fan of Daffy on a plate we opted for roast beef.

He has a lot of play in the book series, though I'm not sure how much is 100% critical.

Cool geek gifts ... the Goodman Games compilation/homages for B4 The Lost City and X1 Isle of Dread, two of my favorite D&D adventures ever. Plus a bunch of minis to paint; taking the plunge into Lord of the Rings minis with the Battle in Balin's Tomb as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of...

... ya filthy animals! How are you spending this Boxing Day? Coming from the US, that doesn't do Boxing Day, I'm really not certain what I'm supposed to do besides put the boxes out for recycling. But it's Sunday so I'm declaring Non-specific Winter Solstice Festival Day #2 and enjoying...

Another confusion point: is Loial dead?

Good final season episode, but it left me pretty confused as a book reader. I'll admit it's been quite a while since Eye of the World and the Great Hunt, but as I recall ... Morainne wasn't stilled at the end, right? And weren't all the kids with her? Rand does wander off, I think? I'm...
