If you read the article carefully, she's actually a new class, an elf "ogue". I'm surprised more folks aren't decrying WotC's attempt to slip in a new class via this comic book. "Not My D and D!" We can call it D&Ddh edition, the one with robust ogues

How hard is it to fight with a broken sword?

Interesting premise in "May I come In?" I'm kind of sure that's not why vampire fans like vampires, by in large. But I hope they fund - it's interesting.

In terms of "greatest" I feel like there are a couple of data sets and populations that you can pull together to try to figure this out. And note, this ebbs and flows, and if you have the data set, you could potentially look at a snapshot at any given "century" (or other time frame) and try to...

I just want to live in that world tbh, lady of pain or no. I wonder what her tariff policy is :ROFLMAO:

I certainly love the turn this conversation has gone! My frustration with how bookstores organize their shelves stems from the fact that i enter the store with a list. And that list is most easily sorted alphabetically by author or title or both. Genre sorting is great (maybe) for this...

I am assuming that because this is in the Planescape sub-forum; and the initial salutation was to "bashers" they are looking to introduce folks to Planescape/Sigil factions?

That's an interesting approach, although not sure if there's a good way to do that; or rather an easy way to do that. Is there some sort of data set or meta data that could be a good proxy to get at what an author's peers were writing? It would be REALLY interesting to create a database of...

I think Kathleen Kennedy wasn't terrible, but I'm not a SW fan by a long shot. However, think also about what it would mean if Kevin Feige was to be put in charge of D&D in this fictional world where Disney (or some arm thereof) buys out WotC or D&D or Hasbro... I think Kevin Feige could bring...

I think you are onto something if we feel like getting towards "what is great". Part of it is talent; but I think a larger part of it is how well known an author is in the cultural zeitgeist. For the late 20th century, there aren't many writers whose works are better known than King. Partially...

Thanks for posting that.

My boss brings in her great pyranees who looks just like your Lily (my boss's pooch is named Keeley - not after the Serenity character I don't think; my boss doesn't tend towards nerd). Keely comes in on deadline days to help us all chill out, travelling from cube to cube. She does give us...

Note, I am not an absolutist. Anything over standard HC size, whether HC or TPB binding would need to go somewhere else.

Yes. It works at Powell's in Portland OR. It's fine. Also in case you were going to ask, new and used next to each other (only new in good condition of course).

Coming in to say "better writer" does not automatically equate to Greatest American Author. I mean, one point in favor of King - it is very American to aspire to or to actually make a ton of money. I imagine King has made about 100X more money than Pynchon, and that's not an exaggeration estimate.

My opinion, shared by none I assume - All fiction books should be shelved in alphabetical order by first listed Author's last name. Anthologies by editor's last name. And then by title within the author's name. Death to genre imposition by Big Book Publisher. Long live the artist!

Or, you were correct.

I used to own a half-dozen Loudness albums - vinyl LPs that is. Not bad, but not standout. Cool logo though. Cirith Ungol loved their covers but never bought (nor listened) Speaking of obscure metal bands, my high school friend's band playing at the greatest music venue ever, the Channel in...

This is a good idea. I decided to simply read books I already own through the end of this year; and starting i 2026 I can begin to read books I don't own. But there are a lot of books backing up that I would normally read in the course of things, like all the Hugo nominees; and the newest...
