    George R.R. Martin novel news

    In general I agree with you but a few works have shown me that it can be done and done well. I really dislike Kevin Anderson's writing style but will be one of the first to admit that he did some amazing stuff with the recent revival of the DUNE series. A large section of my friends are Dune...

    How many poor-quality books can a company produce . . .

    Like a whole boatload of people my answer is more of a depends. I have bought a few stinkers from excellent companies and those do little to impact my overall view of the company unless they start becoming more frequent.

    Recommendation: Bernard Cornwell

    I just got through with The Winter King and found it to be an exceptional book. I am jonsing for book 2 but couldn't find it on my recent vacation so instead I read Flew the Eagle....Interesting take on Boudicia (sp?) but comparitively it was poorly written. I have yet to read Sharpe but it...

    How do people afford to live?

    I don't think it is actually that hard to bring in $50.00 an hour or at least close to it. I am an RN and pull down a salary within that range. We are a one family income because raising my kids right is important to both me and the wife. Together we manage three children and a nice house (in...

    has there been, or have you done this setting?

    I have read all his books published in the USA and would love to see the setting done some justice. I don't think the magic is for everyone but it would certianly work for me. Basically magic boils down to a few core concepts - travelling/fighting in the spirit world and the very jedi-like Order...

    Greatest American? (All Over on Page Eight)

    I disagree with the Reagan naysayers. Not that he was my top choice but he deserves his honors as much as any on that list. He inspired a generation of Americans, me included, to believe in America much as JFK did for the generation of my parents. And inspiration is a powerful thing. Sure he...

    "Anachronisms" in your game

    Money...Money in my games is an anachonism. I have a little (well not so little) chart done up that uses a silver and copper based economy and prices things like you would expect to see in our world. i.e. most personal use weapons cost in the smae range as guns, horses are priced like cars (and...

    Rate Batman Begins

    Fantastic movie. Best of the superhero cadre yet but not by so much as to totally out distance the Spiderflicks. Dang but they didn't nail my version of Batman.

    Effects of an all blood diet.

    While not an expert in the matter (who is?) I have seen plenty of folks with blood in their belly as an RN. IRL you tend to get sick (N/V/D) and would have some truly foul gas. Now that that is out of the way - since he his a fantasy sort of critter looking to transcend, I would suggest that he...
