Ooof.. Boeing can't catch a break can they? There was a short lived show called Avenue 5, which featured Hugh Laurie as the captain of an interstellar cruise ship. The cruise was supposed to be 8-12 weeks or something, but was knocked off course making the trip much longer. The show deals with...

Save me a PDF copy Mike. The Lazy DM's Guide was possibly one of the most important DM supplements for helping me get over my fear of running games, and got me over the hurdle of wanting to run a game, into actually running one! I will most certainly be dropping the city into my campaign world.

Yeah.. Kaladan and Shallan here match my head cannon.. But I imagined the Parshendi being much less human like. Larger in stature as well. I imagine body types similar to how dwarves are often depicted but height on par with humans. Same with shardplate/blades.. I'm assuming that is supposed...

I was around 9 or 10.. I lived on top of a pretty steep hill, and the neighbor kid and I used to spend all day riding our scooters down the hill. One day I hit a rock or stick or something and wiped out pretty bad. With perfect timing my dad pulls around the corner in the van and is about to...

He really doesn't seem like the kind of guy to bad mouth something.. Even if he wants to.. If he's anything like the Mormons I know in real life.. They're all super polite, to a fault.

My girlfriend is also a huge K-Pop fan, so I've also picked it up through osmosis. We're more of a Twice and Chuu household, ourselves.. But yeah, I agree with the "enjoying ironically" point. I was a young boy in the 90's/early 2000's during the prime of groups like Backstreet Boys and...

I think Sanderson is very protective of his works. He's mentioned before in interviews and live-streams that he's had many, many talks about adaptations, but none of them were right. He's not going to let HBO do to the Cosmere what they did to Game of Thrones, essentially.* *This is my...

I know.. That's the point I was trying to make. We know that in hindsight.. But someone looking in from the outside may not understand that.

I feel like while similar.. Your example doesn't really match up. We're talking about an RPG. A genre of game that revolves around world building, and collaborative story telling. People have been looking to licensed games to try and self-insert themselves or their own original characters into...

Maybe it's confirmation bias. Have you ever noticed that when you buy a car.. New, or even just new to you.. You start to notice all of the cars around you that are the same make/model? They've always been there, but you never noticed them. They were just one, of many cars. Now that it's the...

I think I understand why it's intimidating. There's several series, that are all interconnected. If you are interested you get hit with this question of "Where do I start?" because if they're all intertwined, then do you risk reading in the wrong order? Or starting in the wrong point? I think...

As I'm getting into my early 30's I'm trying not to fall into this trap. A decade, to fifteen years ago I was obsessed with new music. Constantly discovering new bands or artists, digging through the underground to find the next cool thing. Warning.. If you give K-Pop a chance.. It does not...

What are you looking to find in your research? I'm sure the internet is full of blurbs and attempts at spoiler-free synopsis'. There's been quite a few pitched in this thread as well. I'm not sure if you're digging hoping to find a giant sign that says "Yeah, this book is really good, you should...

I read the first of the series and enjoyed it. I want to finish it at some point. It's absolutely the kind of series I would have devoured as a teenager.

It might be mine as well. I really enjoy Stormlight, but Warbreaker so just so good. I liked ALL of the characters. Stormlight is kind of like Game of Thrones in that it follows so many points of view that you can sometimes get lost.. and occasionally get stuck on a character or a story thread...

For beginners I always suggest Warbreaker. It's shorter, and it's a stand-alone novel (All though it is part of the over-all Cosmere universe, and ties back in later) If you like it, you'll probably like the Stormlight Archives. I'm still working on Mistborn, myself, but it's also held in...

Sanderson is quite possibly the current most popular fantasy author. Everything the man touches sells like hotcakes.. At this point we should probably change the expression to "It sold like Stormlight Archive". If you're a big fantasy reader, I'm genuinely surprised you aren't aware of him...

It doesn't help that they don't do a very good job of portraying the passage of time.

Luckily I checked here during work and this thread reminded me I needed to cancel. I went to the website on my phone, and upon signing in, it gave me two options. "Download the App" or "Manage Subscription" so I tap the second one and it takes me to a new page that times out. I figure no big...
