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...

There is a very blurry line between networking and nepotism.

Excellent timing.. My HBO Subscription was scheduled to renew on Thursday. I'm not mad about it. It was overall a good season. My favorite parts of Game of Thrones were all the politicking, so this season being a whole lot of that was fun. Daemon is an odd one. He goes from spending his...

Ah, does "spouse" specifically mean married? that's my bad. I thought it was another word like partner or significant other..

A couple years ago I went back and was re-watching some childhood favorites to see what held up and what didn't. Anything with John Candy in it, holds up easily. SpaceJam.. Despite how much of soft spot it is for many of my fellow millennials does not hold up. Three Musketeers with Kiefer...

Finding out that pizza places will do toppings on half a pizza was a real game changer. My father is possibly one of the pickiest eaters I've ever met in my life. It's so bad, that my parents pretty much always have deli ham in the fridge, because my step mother has gotten sick of eating boring...

How's the new book smell?

I've seen some trailers for horror/thriller movies with social media/zoom related plot, but I could see it in a corny hallmark romance too..

See, you just need to add one more option to each column and you could generate these with D6s. You could throw in things like: You could even add in a wild magic table with some options like "Roll twice on the love interest column for a love-triangle scenario"

You can't knock the hustle.. They found their niche and stuck to it. Honestly.. It feels very gamery.. It's like all the scripts are written off of random generation tables.
