'bout time for an Introduction post, methinks!

[Haelbarde he/him]

Hey o/ Greetings!

The names Haelbarde, and I figure that finally getting around to making an intro post is a good use of my thousandth post. If it's going to be late, may as well be fashionably so.

 

The first Sanderson book I read was The Way of Kings. I'd finally finished the last published WoT book at the time, and it was about then that I heard about RJ's death, and that Sanderson would be finishing off the series. I also heard that Sanderson had just published a massive book of his own. And so I read it, and enjoyed it, but didn't think about it much more than that. Fast forward a year or so, and I was wondering if it had a sequel yet, and decided to reread it. I enjoyed the book just as much the second time, and this time I decided to look into the author, and see what else he'd written. Think it was around then that I joined the Shard. I'm thinking I read Mistborn next, and then Alloy of Law (though before actually reading WoA and HoA, though I'd already spoiled myself on the major plot points), because I remember being fascinated by Kurk's posts on time bubbles and FTL. 

I went inactive for a time, joining up over at the MBI, before coming back in the months leaI think I posted a bit in the Cosmere theories and hung around a bit till WoR's release, at which point I went dark to avoid spoilers, but didn't really come back. Until I did when I joined Sanderson Elimination. Which has been incredibly fun, even if I've not done a good job of winning or surviving any games. I've also been playing Wyrmhero's Heirs to the Final Empire forum game, and recently joined the Steel Ministry Roleplay site.

 

So there's a rough picture of my Shard history!

I'm glad that Kurk's single-minded obsession with FTL and time bubbles appealed to someone. jk I luv u Kurk <3

 

Welcome, Haelbarde! We've got quite a few cool things on the forum here!

 

We have a Sanderson Elimination sub-forum; go there to see the classic party game of Mafia (or Werewolves) reworked into Cosmere settings. I'm pretty sure at least one game is still open for sign-ups.

 

Also, make sure to check out the Social Groups and Guilds.

 

Can I interest you in an introductory upvote and a cookie?

[Haelbarde he/him]

Sees 'Cookie' and checks your sig. I'll... pass, I think. I'll take the upvote though

 

(For those who don't know, I'm actually co-GMing part of said SE game.)

 

Ooooh... I remember the Social Groups... twas a Doctor once!

Haven't you already been here a long time? I've seen you around . . . And you seem to have many posts.

Yup! But I never made an Introduction Post when I first joined. I figured it'd be a nice way to celebrate my 1000th post.

Yeah, I was going to do something like this as a joke. (I had it as part of my grand villainous plan after I unseated Kobold as the person with the most reputation.) But you seem to have beaten me to the punch. Good job!

[Haelbarde he/him]

Well, have some Rep to help you on your way to that goal!
