  1. I know that there hasn't been any release dates given, but are these scheduled to be released before or after Cytonic?
  2. Hey everyone, I have come to realize over the past several years, that a forum such as this just isn't the best place for permanent showcasing of theories. Its great for discussion and feedback and throwing ideas around, but then the theory eventually gets lost under hundreds of new posts, and it can be very difficult to find an old one, especially if you don't remember any particular keywords. As such I threw together a wiki (Crafttheories.com) to fill this void. Only for theories, not for discussions, this should be a way to keep theories accessible, and of course add more as they come to light. It is not a competitor for this 17thshard forum, simply an adjunct to serve a different, more specific purpose. I need help in adding theories, it is editable by anyone at this time. (I also need some people with wiki experience to help keep the place clean, user-friendly, and under control.) Although it gives credit for who edited the theory, you can also link to any source in the reference section, such as your original reddit posting if want credit for a theory. Once again, not trying to take away from 17th shard, but simply give it another tool to reference. Coppermind is a great wiki for learning facts about items, people, and information, but not the best way to showcase speculative theories, as they are not fact, til proven so by the text.
  3. I read Eregon when I was 16 (the year it came out), and it seemed to use the exact same...everything...from other books. From the magics to the plot, it all seemed recycled. I didnt read the sequels, but I feel Sanderson hit the nail on the head with that statement.
  4. I get refreshing the look for a new release, but at least on android mobile the new website is terrible! There is one set of links to the side, with a total of 3 options. Gone is basically all website functionality, gone are the progress bars, gone is the event schedule. In fact all I can find is the blog, links to the 2 starsight books, the free reading section, and 'what is the cosmere?'. (Oh and, newsletter sign up) Even in desktop mode on my phone there is nothing. I did load the website on an actual desktop here at work, and there were more options, so maybe the desktop version of the website is all good - I didn't have time to asses it. Anyone else have similar thoughts? My actual problem with it is more that it seems broken than any issues with design or artistry.
  5. Gotta check this out, a friend of mine is a professional artist, and put this out on reddit as the first part of a stormlight series of comic illustrations. He also sells hand drawn prints, DM his reddit if interested.
  6. Brandon mentioned on Facebook something about this year's con "exclusive". Anyone there that can pass along word of what it is this year?
  7. What if Dalinar, with his Connection to all 3 shards was able to somehow take some power from each of them (as much as Honor can give at this point, and whatever Cultivation and Odium have that's accessible to him) and made a new shard from that. So none of the 3 were destroyed or taken over, but all were diminished, and this new Unity shard as the combination of power from those 3 united. Edit: not that I've jumped on the "Unity is a new shard for sure" bandwagon, but just a speculative possibility.
  8. Did he stick around after the lines were through for the more casual q&a from the hardcore fans? (I had to leave after making my way through the unexpress line)
  9. Haven't we seen Nightblood...and it's sheath? Couldn't that be aluminum?
  10. Unfortunately White Sand 2 is not out yet, and was recently delayed til February
  11. In the past when Brandon has sprung a new book on us (BoM and Secret History) he didn't even use the status bar. So why even mention it? My thoughts are that this may be a little more involved (i.e. take longer) and he wants to be upfront that he's not slacking off, but in the middle of something new. Just not ready to truly announce it by name yet. Thoughts?
  12. Lol I disagree about it looking awful....it stands out, yet is small. My copy is tucked happily among the rest doing it's thing.
  13. Since he publicly stated Alcatraz 6 is revealed I don't think he would continue the "surprise" by calling it the mystery project. My guess would be something not on his State of the Sanderson. That or something he's doing much earlier than previously stated. (See what I did there? )
  14. Do we have confirmation that the sequel "Nightblood" will be set before stormlight? I had imagined there were things we needed to see in stormlight before he would write it. (Pure conjecture on my part)
  15. You're right, he doesn't say it will be in Oathbringer, my mistake. A year ago he said that the answer of "what happened to Vivenna" - "would be answered soon".
  16. Oh it's far from a lock, but then again i dont see vivenna showing up in oathbringer with a sign around her neck saying "I'm Vivenna guys! See all the 100% indisputable evidence?" If it WAS Vivenna she would probably pick a race that matches a particular state of her hair. If shes going with yellow, then riran/ iriali would work. Appears vapid...well she's not going to necessarily want to appear as a strong confidant woman at the moment. Maybe she is appearing weak/dumb for strategic purposes. Has a supposed brother; Thats going to be needed in a male dominated society if she wants to get anything done easily. Vivenna? Maybe, maybe not. I'm certainly not going to rule it out.
  17. Yes, the evidence that Vivenna = Evi is stacking! First the name has similar aspects, then there's the emphasis placed on her hair: "But that hair. It made her stand out, like a candle’s glow in a dark room" Plus the fact that Brandon told us to keep an eye out, we would see Vivenna in this book.
  18. I agree, Scadrial was my first thought.(though not because of the "rial" as many words like fabrial and sebarial also end in rial)
  19. Slave? Just because this guy claims he is from bridge 13 doesn't mean he was a actually ever a slave.
