To give you a sense of how complex a tale it is, I'll try to summarize the plot as succinctly as I can: After the decision of Empress Laseen to outlaw the elite Bridgeburners and the whole of the 9th Army on the Genabackis campaign, Kalam, Fiddler and Sorry (now going by the name of Apsalar) of...

Okay, now that I have your attention, read on. Steven Erikson's series The Malazan Book of the Fallen is easily comparable to Martin's Song of Fire and Ice. This is like the third time I've made a thread like this only to see it plummet into the bowels of obscurity. Only a few folks like...

Not as far as I can see. I would let L Ron be the tinkerer, since I think he seems to know a lot more web page stuff than little old me. What pisses me off is people that promise to do things then mosey off.

I recommend (and second) this whenever asked: Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson The three out so far are: Gardens of the Moon Deadhouse Gates Memories of Ice (which I'm reading right now) These books are right up there with George Martin's series. They are vast, the world is...

Greetings o Lord of Battle, In the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson, many fortifications use a reddish mineral called otataral which becomes part of the walls. It completely negates and absorbs magic - the more powerful the sorcery, the quicker the magic is negated.

Our Canadian pucking powers will detroy these American upstarts!

From Cinescape site: It looks like Peter Jackson had a few things to say about the second film in the LORD OF THE RINGS series, while talking to a bookstore crowd in New York recently. According to Moriarty, an Ain’t It Cool news tipster who attended the event, Jackson said by mid-March the...

Hey BM, I know you're frustrated with this - so am I. A lot of people committed to doing stuff and then promptly disappeared. Anyway, I would love to do it but I wouldn't know where to start. I appreciate all the 'cannon' safeguarding you do and the art stuff (even if we don't always...

Hey! We're dominating in women's hockey! As to the Canadian team, I think there are a number of factors. European players as a whole know how to play on the larger ice surface. I mean just look at the games played. Its not North American hockey at all. Little hitting, long bomb passes...

In my mind, I still see most of the people of the land to have minimal cross-breeding. Some places, like in cities or strongholds it may be more common, but there is still lots of pure blood of the different races, depending on the area. So I think the hobgoblin idea is fine. You might want...

So is that it? Nobody seems to care anymore.

Even the Russian skaters new they didn't really win. A nice display of character would have been for them not to accept the gold. I know I couldn't have done it with a clear conscience. The Olympics just sucks. Its not even about amateur sports anymore. Its frickin political and corporate...

Looks interesting. I like Greenwood (Nowhere Man and the prez in that Cuban Missile Crisis flick). Its also directed by Twohy, the guy who made Pitch Black. Looks atmospheric. Doesn't seem haunted to me at all. More like an ominous presence under the sea.

Didn't get very much done. Sorry. Had to do my report cards this weekend. Anyway here's abit more. The Gnomish Brotherhood is a curious entity within the power circles of the Last Haven. It walks a fine line of neutrality amongst the supporters of each of the Patrons, and its policies...

What I should have said Colonel was that Conan was his single biggest character (obviously), with which he included in the greatest number of his stories (based on one character). Here's a giant list of all his works (many reprints, perhaps unfinished manuscripts etc too): ROBERT E. HOWARD...

What is good in life? Conan! Liked Soloman Kane too. Most of Howard's writings featured the sullen-eyed Cimmerian so its hard to think about the other characters he created. What about Red Sonya?

I agree CM on the cannon issue. Well put. I also think they've done a very good job of not treading on what has gone before. Its actually kind of cool to see the 'beginning" of things. Last week's mentioning of the Ferengi, yet nobody having heard of them was one example. As to the issue of...

2. Situation (where an unusual situation that dominates the campaign setting) and i was thinking Mist covers the world (no, monsters are not being made in it nor is it being produced by a large Tree). Maybe a leak in the ethereal or the shadow planes or soemthing. See Daemonforge
