My wife and I just finished watching Potato Lab, a delightfully unhinged K-Drama Ron-Com about a potato researcher at a potato chip company that has been bought by a large conglomerate, and a mysterious HR "closer" has moved into her familes local resort to look over the lab and the personel...

Well, since we are fully off the rails now...here is the lecture where Sanderson talks about lot pacing and uses Last Jedi as an example:

OK, brave new world here, using SwiftKey now. So far, the buttons seem to fit my thumbs better at least.

Yeaj, the build quality is fantastic, honestly, but when I had Motorola oto G and prior to that a Windows phone...no issues.

There were never any delayed 5E products prior to Covid, probably largely because they only announced them a few months in advance as stuff was going to the printer.

Haven't seen it, but I loved everyone involved and do enjoy a goofy action flick. The streaming ratings seem to have justified cost.

I would recommend his "Space Age Cosmere" novels as pretty fun standalone reads: Isles of the Emberdark ("what if we combined Moana and Firefly?"), Tress of the Emerald Sea ("what if Buttercup took initiative and went after Westly in Princess Bride?"), and Yumi & The Nightmare Painter (I have no...

Well, I mean, it isn't a speculation that some od the heaviest years od 5E prodict release we didn't know anything until January. 2019, in particular, is the high watermark for number of 5E releases...and we knew about nothing until January 20q9. So that is a simple fact: AptC and has put out...

In the studio model, the Magic game studios made a card game, the D&D game studios made the TTRPG, the Natrative Studio dealt with book publishing or film studios, and other areas were separated into silos with Studio heads. So the format in charge of msking D&D dif not really talk to the people...

Honestly, I doubt it has had as much of an impact on what is getting made, as much as messaging and talking about it in advance.

Part of it is that I have a pretty high patience for large meandering narratives, but I loved book 4 and 5: Sanderson went out of his way to basically break down and destroy everything. In all likelihood, there will be a TL;DR explanation of the Vorin Star Empire's history and Mythos in the...

More than Perkins or Crawford, the changeover on the marketing side of WotC probably play a role, and the overall restructuring from a studio model to a franchise model.

I have occasionally thought about changing my keyboard App, but that feels like a rabbit hole into madness.

Thing about the Stormlight Archives, itnis Sanderson’s experiment to try and push the envelope of long form storytelling. It is only halfway down, had the Empire Strikes Back moment after over 2 million words...and it is shocking how much of the apparently stretched out narrative is...

Well, since I was summoned... From 2014 all the way until October 2021, no 5E product was announced outside of the calendar year that it was released in. In October 2021, Call of the Netherdeep was announced for March 2022, which was a novelty, prior March releases having been announced in...

Brandon Sanderson is not a hater and actually liked Last Jedi fir what it was going for...but he started using it as an example to dissect in his college writing lectures on pacing.

I swear if you go back and look my spelling was better before I switched from Motorola to Samsung.

The Hadozee stuff was 100% Chris Perkins individually, because he thought it would be fun to have a Planet of the Apes reference but thought he didn't need a sensitivity readers. The format was really the core problem, as the content was fairly similar to those earlier Settijg books except for...

Still at Barnes & Noble, and at least my FLGS will take requests

Yeah, it doesn’t make me less likely to use what I have, which are complete rules anyways...but I won't give Goodman Games another dime.
