  1. So I know in some locations, such as Liverpool which I am attending, it's a reading from Oathbringer followed by a signing. Anyone know if these events will include a Q and A section? Oathbringer has only been out for a week and I've yet to finish it; I'm worried that people are going to ask some very spoilery questions if there is QnA
  2. Oh wow, that's impressive! I was thinking of just using investiture like an extra off-the-cuff spell slot, mainly for puzzle solving. Perhaps I should do a bit more research on designing the mechanic more balanced.
  3. Hey there, so I know there are already official tabletop games for the likes of Mistborn but I'm wondering if anyone out there has created their own homebrew games or adventures? I'm trying to homebrew a DnD 5e adventure and got thinking of setting it upon Nalthis, most likely have the party teleported to the world so they are strangers to the land just as the player will be. I think it would be best if I just ignore certain facts of cannon in the Warbreaker world to make the adventuring smoother, and to run with the idea that upon entering Nalthis our adventurers becomes invested/awaken to the fact that they now possess a breath and can eventually learn the intricacies of Breath and Heightening. All this I hope to simply stack on top of the core Dungeons and Dragons mechanics rule set. Anyone out there who has tried making their own RPG adaption got any pointers or advice on how to organise this kind of cross over?
  4. Probably Wit for me, simply because I'll often act the daft smart arse. Which as Kaladin and he discussed, isn't always particularly 'witty'
  5. Finished reading (well listening) to Elantris for the first time earlier today. I listen to audio books while at work instead of music. I have to say my eyes started to well up and had to make a effort to look like it was due to allergies, didn't want to make a scene in the office XD Granted they never welled like they did at the end of the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks
  6. When you start using the the words "bah","perhaps" and various cosmere curses such as "storming", more often in conversation than you should. Dalinar does love the word "perhaps"
  7. I think of myself as a Fanderson, of a Branderfan. Which brings to mind the little dialogue Wit gives about mashing words together in WoK, can't recall any exact quoting mind
  8. I won't make this overly long and delve into a millions way to compliment Branderson's work (we all know it's awesome), but I thought I'd attempt to make as discussion on the many social systems that he invents. One of his traits in his story telling is his immersive world building and the "spin things on their head" ways. Aside from the magic systems my favourite aspect of Branderson's world building is how each world and even separate kingdom within said world has their own very different social hierarchy. Take Roshar for example, a major hierarchy is the darkeyes and lighteyes divide within the Vorin Kingdoms and within THEM is the Nahn and Dahn ranking system of which widens the divide between classes even more. These hierarchy are like an echo of what we have established here in our world. The residents of Vorin kingdoms don't seem to care or discriminate a person or race against their skin colour (like some people do in our world), but instead judge them on their eye colour, a very different abstract to our own and yet it still holds an equal amount of prejudice in most cases (especially if your name is Kaladin). I just wanted to know what social systems that exists in any Branderson novel you find most interesting and perhaps why? Because I for one am a sucker for the way he uses systems familiar to us but adds his own "Sanderson-esque tweeks"
  9. Ahh yes now I recall my mistake. I remember reading crystalline finger nails and blanking out the slate part, thus my mind thought "Oh sparkly blue crystals". Another misconceptionon on my behalf I suppose
  10. That is definitely not something I thought I would read today haha. In my head Lopen is a closer scrawny-ness to Ragetti the one eyed pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean. Only of course one armed and blue finger nails. (His people have blue quartz like finger nails right)
  11. Favourite male character so far would have to be Lightsong simply because of his playful sarcastic nature, And for female would be Shallan for pretty much the same attributes of being a smart-arse
  12. I suppose having listened to Stormlight archive in audiobook form, most the character voices are stamped into my head as the various voices and accents of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. But as for visualisation, well that's a whole different story As most here it would seem I imagined spheres about the size of ping pong balls. Ardents are the ones that always throw me, I'm aware they have no possesions, wear drab clothing and are essentially monks, but for some reason I always picture them in brilliant white robes of a similar design to what Elend is made to wear around his men in Mistborn
  13. But, but I like cookies Just as long as there is no chull dung in them
  14. That's something I completely overlooked. I was aware it seems like her helm would appear and disappear in a heart beat, but I never related that to the same kind of function a shardblade has. My mad theory is that shardplate and shardblade are of Honor. This at least is my theory my mind can piece together from what I can recall with looking back at reference. Syl says that honor blades are different to shardblades, that spren essentially copied the ability a shardblade gives, so in theory the plates of old (lets call the Honorplates) are also different to modern day Shardplate. Shardblades are dead spren (or alive spren i guess before the Recreance) and Syl admits that she's at least "part of [a God]". That God I assume is referring to Honor. So perhaps when Honor was splintered and the host/shardholder killed, he left behind his body and mind. His mind in the form of spren - the most sentient perhaps being the Stormfather- spren thus being able to bind. Which leads me to think that shardplate may be his body, so perhaps with no presence of a deity to power the artefacts gem stones must be used instead. My idea for this of course sprouts from Mistborn Trilogy, mainly because I'm sure I recall that Atium slowly regrows and replenishes overtime (please correct me if I'm wrong) Kind of like how plate regrows itself, albeit faster and with assistance. But chances are since I'm a newbie I probably sound like a crackpot with no evidence to back myself up with
  15. Let it be so, birds shall never fly away from you again. Yet any bird within that 50 foot radius will make all attempts to defecate on you. I wish to be an Epic called Sneezepoint, whomever I point at I can make sneeze whenever I wish
