I'm a fan of the Justicar and Ecalla Greyhawk series (Paul Kemp, I think? Edit -- Nope, Paul Kidd! Thanks @Sacrosanct!) -- Descent into the Depths, etc. I'm re-reading (well, listening) to the Dragonlance Legends/Twins series right now, and I've so far discovered I hate kleptomaniac kender...

Thanks for saving me the watch. I saw the general reviews were bad, but general audience taste tends to vary a bit.

Heh. Weirdly I'm looking forward to hearing how they do the lisping noble Seanchan accents. If they do them that way that is.

Good episode. It's really rocketing along. They haven't explained the heron-marked blade yet. Am I misremembering, or by this point in the story hadn't that gotten Rand into trouble a couple of times already? It makes his father's backstory very interesting and deep -- might have made the...

Huh. Enthusiasm falling sadly. I'm (re)listening to the Twins trilogy and it's reminded me how much I (1) hate time travel plots, (2) hate Tasslehoff Burrfoot and (3) hate gully dwarves. I guess I've grown up to the point where I'm no longer entertained by a race of kleptomanics and a race of...

The downside of the internet is its easy to sell snake oil. The upside of the internet is once you're identified as selling snake oil, you can never escape it to rebrand as newt oil.

Unsurprising train wreck is unsurprising. I think this is probably just a LARP of Papers & Paychecks.

You know what really grinds my gears right now? It's just a little thing ... Unstring your freaking bow, Rand! A Two Rivers longbowman should know better.

Take a knee, face out, drink water, take Motrin. (j/k) Hope you recover quickly and feel better!

Right -- there's a major (assumed nuclear) war at the end of the first age that ends the Age of Myth (our age). The Breaking at the end of the second Age, the Age of Legend, the One Power alters the landscape ... but nukes and climate change aren't raising land in the first one.

How does sea rise simultaneously flood low-lying areas (central North America, Amazon basin) and elevate low lying areas above sea level (Bering Strait land bridge)?

I do hope they'll do Mat justice -- he's my favorite character of the series. So far ... not. And I forget ... in what book did they That location and its inhabitants is once of my favorites -- to the point I wrote rules for the game of Snakes and Foxes (assuming we'll eventually meet Olver)...

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck ... weregoose!

Petrified eye of newt? Makes a perfect ioun stone ...

Come for the discussion, stay for the nostalgia.

At first I was annoyed by skipping Camelyn and moving everything to Tar Valon, but after considering what moves in the plot as a result I can see the change making sense. I don't recall the Inquisitor in the book being quite as mustache-twisting evil nor having killed Aes Sedai, but I guess they...

You don't get to tell me how magic works in my campaign setting.

It is tradition.

Magic is merely sufficiently advanced technology.

I agree. Most RPG products would be better if written as long form epic poetry, preferably set to music.
