Brackcha Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm planning on going to Ad Astra to see Brandon. Does anyone know what day(s) he will be there? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldun Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 He'll be there all three days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmereAvair Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I emailed the people actually and they said a schedule should be posted some time this weekend! Also anyone have an idea on what questions should be asked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccstat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm sure you will get lots of suggestions from everyone's personal lists (mine is here) but my recommendation is to look over the questions that got answered in the most recent events in Boston, Poland, Bulgaria, and Germany. Odds are you will find some that spark follow-up questions of your own, and you can be reasonably certain you are working with up-to-date knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackcha Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for the info! Do you know if he will be doing signings/Q&A all three days? Or will that be on a specific day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmereAvair Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I emailed The Con myself actually to figure out when he will be there for any of the events. I also bought the tickets for the brunch with him, if I am lucky I will actually get to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldun Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 So did I. See you there, Avair. Heh, that rhymed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoolofwhool Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I'm planning on attending with a list of complicated questions. You buy the tickets on the As Astra site under registration? Where are the brunch tickets? Edited April 25, 2017 by Spoolofwhool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Of course if someone has no questions to ask, I will offer myself to fix this issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldun Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Brunch is on a different part of the site. Here: http://www.ad-astra.org/guest-of-honour-brunch/ As for your offer @Yata, I'll take you up on that.

I'm expecting some good WoBs, some frustrating RAFOs and Spool breaking records for the number of questions asked before being evicted. Looking forward to it guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argent Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I just want to know how Steelsight works, you guys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does those hits impact on the Metalmind's charge ? (something like ruin a coppermind's memories) - We know the mechanics behind some magic systems' mechanics - Hemarurgy cuts/sews pieces of Spiritwebs, Awakening imprints an object with a new cognitive aspect. What are the mechanics that make Steelsight (and Wax's Bands-enhanced version) work? (for @Argent but I can't honestly find a direct and better wording) - Most of Heightenings' benefit seems to be toward a general concept of Perfection, are mostly of those benefits stricly Breath related or they are general consequence of having a lot of Innate Investiture ? - The Awakened Object's Breaths will slowly running out of power. Does this happen also when they are into a someone's soul (in his lifetime) ? - Could a Shard invests so much of his power to make the Vessel de-Ascend ? - If a Susenbron's Lifeless held an uncovered Nightblood, would Nightblood be able to feed of his breath ? (Because Breath's removal seems to be connect to a color draining, so if the owner can't be color drained maybe Nightblood can't take his Breath - Does a Soulforgery change the subject's Identity ?

As Argent explained in his last reply, Steelpush seems linear and clear in practice and usual usage. But when you start to apply it into extreme and weird cases...the outcome seems counterintuitive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you start to apply it into extreme and weird cases...the outcome seems counterintuitive Well, not even that. Steelsight is just weird to me - why see lines at all instead of feeling where the metal is? Why not see metal glow? Why do the lines connect you with source of metal specifically? Why are they affected by Cognitive Realm (e.g. when Wax, in the Shadows of Self prologue, switches from thinking about the bullet as a single piece of metal, to three distinct pieces)? And why do very strong pushes allow the Allomancer to see more than just metal - and what is that something? Overall it feels - to me - like a magical effect that looks deceptively simple, but works off of really complex realmatic mechanics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 blue is the opposite of red, and red is the color of angry shades, of voidbringer eyes, stars in the scar, trellium, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldun Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Well, one can see blue lines with iron, so there's also Ironsight, which accomplishes the same as Steelsight. Also, is the schedule up yet? I keep checking the site and can't find it. Edited April 28, 2017 by Koldun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldun Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Alright Sanderfans, they didn't put up a schedule page yet, but they updated their Events and Prgramming page. Here's a list of the events starring Brandon. Saturday 2:00: Panel 4:00-6:00: Signing Sunday 10:00-12:00: Guest of Honor Brunch 1:00: Reading That's all I've gathered so far, I'll update this as more things pop up.
