Draconis

For me it would have to be an RPG type similar to SAO

Everyone should get their own string instrument, that way we all get an official 17th Shard Sticktm to play them with.

Hmm. . . Compound Gold to heal any incidental damage he may receive, Compound Steel to move faster than pretty much anything, Compound Zinc to have a near infinite amount of time to plan every attack and counter Compound Chromium to be unbelievably lu- "Hey! I just found a bag of Atium!" Burn Steel to turn coins into bullets Burn Duralumin to turn any other power into a super power Burn Brass to soothe all emotions other than hopelessness Burn Bronze to detect any investiture being used Burn Tin for enhanced senses And of course, Atium. At this point I'm still trying to figure out how he managed to get taken out in the first book.

I completely understand how you feel about your co-worker not seeing the brilliance that is Sanderson. Look at the bigger picture. You convinced 20 people to read Brandon's books, and they loved them. The 21st didn't. That is more than a 95% conversion rate. I'd call that a win. If we all had those kinds of numbers, we wouldn't be on 17th Shard. We'd be in line to see WoK on IMAX. Good work

There is something I've always wondered with tapping luck. If it was your intent to win the lottery, would you: a) Tap luck when choosing the numbers? b)Tap luck and let the computer choose them? c)Tap luck when you physically purchase the ticket? d)Tap luck when the numbers are being drawn? Just curious as to everyone's thoughts about how it would work.

The problem with this entire question is that we are comparing Vin, at the end of her story, against Shallan at the beginning of hers. Other than Marsh (a shard controlled, hemalurgically altered creature) there was no one on Scadrial who could stand up against pre-ascension Vin. Also, we as readers know most of the different ways Vin could game the system to win. Shallan on the other hand is barely a Radiant. Not only that, but she is a non-combat radiant with no real world skills. We simply do not know enough of what a Lightweaver is capable of. Book 10 Shallan may very well be able to wipe the floor with Vin, but book 2 Shallan? Her best bet is to hide and hope Vin gets caught in a high storm.

When you start thinking Roshar is affecting the real world. Weakest eye colour

In the beginning there were three realms, and never did they meet. In time, there grew a tree, with roots in the physical, branches in the cognitive, and leaves in the spiritual. All was well. There was peace in the Cosmere for a great long while when arose the most heinous of creations, the Matchendi. The Firebringers. The Firebringers threatened the life of the Tree. The very connection binding the Cosmere together. The Tree is old and wise and knew it could not do battle directly with the Firebringers. It brought forth a portion of itself, a portion with connections to all tree realms, and so was born the first Stickbinder. The Stickbinder sallied forth do battle with the unholy Matchendi. The cry of “I am a STICK”, dousing their flames and bringing fear to the cajun fried hearts of the Firebringers. Alas, though the Stickbinder was strong the Firebringers were numerous, and the last that was heard was the defiant cry “STICK” before being consumed. Fear not, the sacrifice of Stickbinder Prime (as it shall forever be known) was not in vain. The Tree was able to bring forth many more Stickbinders. All the worlds were populated by Sticks. The Matchendi saw this, and were afraid. So arose the Church of the Stick. It is the solemn duty of all Sticks to guard against the return of the Firebringers, and live lives of Sticky goodness after the example of Stickbinder Prime.

Wayne and Lopen would be an unbeatable hilarious team

These sound interesting I'm going to go find some of them. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi everyone I need a little bit of help before the festivities begin tomorrow. Every time a Wheel of Time book came out, I've developed a ritual/tradition/etc of how I've enjoyed it, and with WoR I am looking at continuing it. Massive Book . . . . . . . almost Big comfy couch. . . . . . check Large quantities of microwavable food so as to not lose time to cooking . . . . . check Mini fridge stocked with Coke and said food. . . . . .check Mini fridge hooked up beside couch . . . . check Microwave hooked up on top of mini fridge . . . . check Appropriate background music. . . . I've tried asking friends and family for suggestions, but, they are less than helpful (they don't read). So, I've decided I would beg the help of the only people who would understand. What do you feel would comprise the best playlist to listen to while reading? I'm not talking about "good" music that is popular on the radio. That can be very distracting. I'm looking for something that can be played in the background, provide the right feel, but not pull my attention away from enjoying this long awaited tome. Happy Release Day

This is Shallan witnessing the result of Adolin deciding to put a certain bridgeman in his place

The Walking Dead: Roshar Edition

This is most likely because a dun sphere could be a fake ie. cubic zirconia vs diamond whereas only a true sphere can be infused.

Shallan vs Wit in the Battle of the Comebacks This could be a verrrry interesting scene
