traceria she/her Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hey traceria, I started one over in the SA forum but made sure to reference you and Oudeis both. I'm not taking credit for the idea, just posted my first stab at what a deck may look like similar to what I posted here! Cheers. Oh, sorry...I totally missed it. I'll delete my post. No worries about credit or anything!
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 If anyone gets the chance to ask one more brief question: When will we see the Cohesion and Tension surges?
rhandric Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Now that I know I won't be the only creepy adult in a kids bookstore, I'll be there! Sorry for the double-post; just wanted to make sure people see this as NEW because if you're going it could be very relevant. Just spoke with the venue, and I have some additional information. They will require that you purchase a book there to attend the event. They have more of his Young Adult stuff, but you can call and order any book still in print, though you will have to purchase it over the phone. If you buy a book but don't show up on the day of the signing, they will have Mr. Sanderson sign it for you and hold it until you can get there. The store itself closes at 6pm. They will open again at 7pm for the signing event. They don't typically do numbers or wristbands. If they expect very large groups, they might give out numbers. The last Sanderson event at this store had about 40 people, which wasn't enough to warrant numbers. I will call again on Monday the 26th. By then, based on how many people call to ask about the event, they will make the decision on whether or not to give out numbers. If they do, you can pick up your number/buy a book from about 5pm to 6pm, before they close prior to the event. If they expect a TON of people, they will leave the store open the extra hour between 6 and 7 to pick up numbers. Also as a general rule, she said, Sanderson fans are courteous and nice, so I for one look forward to living up to her expectations. Thanks for the heads up. Now I need to figure out what to buy from a kids bookstore... Edited January 15, 2015 by rhandric
Robot Aztec Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 oooh can osmeone ask ask if Night Blood can eat larasium and if it would make him MIStBORN??? a msitborn sword would be super cool
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 If anyone gets the chance to ask one more brief question: When will we see the Cohesion and Tension surges? Mailliw73, I'm pretty new and I'm not sure what these are. Something on Roshar, I assume, some kind of surgebinding doable by Knights Radiant? Is there a link you can give me with more info?
traceria she/her Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 From the wiki: http://coppermind.net/wiki/Surgebinding That might be helpful. I'm not one of the major discussers in the SA section of the forums, but I do read through some of those. I guess we're waiting to see what these two surge abilities are like.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 WOB on Cohesion and Tension during the figment chat tonight: We are unlikely to see it in Stormlight 3, it is more likely that we will see them with people who are focus characters of the back five. 1

Aw, well that's a shame. So Dalinar won't even learn how to use the Tension Surge until a later book?
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I called the bookstore today to order a copy of Words of Radiance. The woman I spoke with said that she thinks that they will likely not be closing between six and seven anymore. Instead, they will start selling the books for signing at six. When you purchase your book, you will get a number that will determine your place in the line. She said that she expected that it would be pretty laid-back, like the last time Brandon visited the store. She said that last time, Brandon just came in and sat down and chatted for a while before he started signing. Sounds good to me, I'm really excited about this event! I'm also going to be taking my wife, as a surprise. I just started her on his books a few months ago, she's read the Stormlight and Mistborn series (including AoL), and just finished the Reckoners works. EDIT: So, what 17th people will be there for sure? It seems that Oudeis, Titan Arum, NutiketAiel and rhandric are confirmed. I will be there for sure. You'll be able to spot me by my giant beard and my clothing (I might be dressed as Prof, but otherwise I'll be in my usual garb - a kilt). Edited January 22, 2015 by AndrewStirlingMacDonald
Oudeis he/him Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I'll be the guy in the mistcloak! ... If I finish it in time.
macros he/him Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I will be attending the philly signing as well
macros he/him Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Is anyone planning on recording the signing? If not i'll make sure I bring a charger for my phone
Oudeis he/him Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I plan to bring my phone and its external battery. However, my ride had work the next morning. If the event runs late, either I might have to leave, or even with the charger my battery might die. If you think you can stay later, maybe set yours up after the first hour or two to catch what I miss? Or if you don't think you'll be staying late, just back up my recording in case one of us has some sort of glitch.
Titan Arum Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I'll bring my phone and charger too, just in case. Also, beware everyone, there could be quite a bit of snow on the ground. I hope it isn't too bad and the roads get cleared so I can drive up from DC! Ohh, and you'll be able to identify me since I'll dress up like Vasher! 3
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 That's awesome, Titan Arum! Are you going to be bringing Nightblood along for the trip?
Oudeis he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Even if there's another Mistborn and another Vasher, I bet we'll be the only team there of Mistborn with Vasher. 3
Shaggai Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I just realized that I might not be able to come.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Maybe while we're there a freak snowstorm will blow in and we'll all be trapped in the bookstore with Brandon for three days and he'll reveal all of the secrets of the Cosmere to us and we'll all become best friends and he'll write us all into Dragonsteel. You wouldn't want to miss THAT, Shaggai, would you? 7

Titan Arum Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 That's awesome, Titan Arum! Are you going to be bringing Nightblood along for the trip? Nightblood will indeed be along for the ride...assuming I can make it. According to philly.com: Up to a foot of snow could be falling on the city. 1
Shaggai Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Nightblood will indeed be along for the ride...assuming I can make it. According to philly.com: Up to a foot of snow could be falling on the city. If the snow doesn't block the roads, I can come. The real question is if the bookstore will close and if Brandon will be able to make it on time. He's coming from Kentucky according to the News post, so it's possible that he could get delayed.

Titan Arum Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I tweeted Peter and Brandon to see if there's a contingency plan if the Philly signing gets cancelled. I even said (selfishly, of course) that he could come to DC instead. Alas, there is no back up plan. If the snow cancels it, we aren't likely to get a signing...

Everyone, pray to the Stormfather that there's not too much snow. 1
