TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Discworld fae-kind. They're tiny blue Scottish fairies who were kicked out of Fairyland for being too rowdy. They think they're dead and in heaven. Lots of shenanigans are involved. It's from Pratchett's young adult Tiffany Aching books. I have not read Discworld. Though I know I should…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bard he/him Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) I have not read Discworld. Though I know I should…. I was certain there was a blasphemy Terry Pratchett quote that I could make and sound witty. So I looked up 'Terry Pratchett blasphemy', and the first result was this. I really, really hope this is satire. Edited February 16, 2016 by The Young Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seonid he/him Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I have not read Discworld. Though I know I should…. You need to. They are almost as good as the Reckoners series. Some of them may be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I have not read Discworld. Though I know I should…. Yes. Yes, you should. Though even I will admit that Discworld is best taken in rationed doses; I'm not sure how much of that stuff someone could binge-read and still maintain their sanity. I was certain there was a blasphemy Terry Pratchett quote that I could make and sound witty. So I looked up 'Terry Pratchett blasphemy', and the first result was this. I really hope this is satire. Even if it isn't, the comments are comedy gold. Well, folks, I've bought my JordanCon membership and my plane ticket to Atlanta. In April, I shall be going to the place where they Sing the Song of our People. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer he/him Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I should get the Reckoners trilogy for my Kindle this week. I have a friend who's going to be running a game in that world next month. Though apparently we'll all be playing Reckoners, and not doing crazy things like deliberately going out and trying to destroy Oregon. Are you planing on making us jealus. Although, playing as Reckoners could be fun, even if it would require a good deal of prior set up from both the GM and the party... unless you feel like playing week if not months of reconnaissance. I have not read Discworld. Though I know I should…. See, there are other people trying to tell you you should read those. Go ahead, I'm sure you'll be great friends with Death.

Voidus Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I just finished Calamity, thought the ending where it turned out Calamity was actually a giant jellybean was pretty clever and eating him to rid the world of corruption was a nice touch.Oh yeah, sorry spoilers. Maybe. Or maybe not. Guess you'll have to read it to find out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one likes artificial banana flavour. *sheepishly raises hand* I actually do like artificial banana flavor. Did you know that the flavor is based on an actual breed of banana that is very nearly extinct? (something similar is true for artificial grape, though concord grapes aren't as close to extinction) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Bleeeech. I prefer my flavors natural, thank you very much. Nature provides so much deliciousness; why fix what ain't broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though I make an exception for strawberry and chocolate, natural cocoa is actually not that great and while strawberries are nice I generally prefer artificial strawberry to the genuine article.

Natural cocoa with sugar and milk is delicious. Strawberries can be enhanced with sugar or cool whip, but I still prefer the real McCoy. About a third of the way through Calamity now. And I have RL business to attend to. So I won't finish it as quickly as I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't RL ever understand that sometimes you just need to read a book? For the same reason my mom can't understand that you shouldn't bully your offspring into divulging how much money they have in their bank accounts. You know what? I'm this close to not calling her Mom anymore. She needs an Epic name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Me and my ex best friend named her horrible mother Stina, it wasnt her name, she just didnt deserve being called by her actual one. May I suggest Annoyazord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest Annoyazord? Promising. How about something biblical like Delilah or Jezebel? No, those two were….well, you know how they were. Is there anyone annoying, overpowering, and matronly? Hmmm….maybe I'll go Potterverse and call her and my dad Bellatrix and Rodolphus. Also, HAH! No expenses associated with the drug test or physical, which is what she'd warned about! If I had to hazard a guess, she'd been counting on it as an excuse to get me to give up on this! And she was wrong! MAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I have no idea what the Song of our People is - I don't remember anything about it. It's just a joke, referring to the fact that JordanCon has an entire Sanderson track in its programming lineup (and Brandon's a guest almost every year). I've heard stories of people in Mistborn cosplay flinging pennies down empty hallways and such. Mostly I'm just surprised that there aren't more Sharders who go to this con, because it sounds like they're more or less Our People. Also, there's this, where I pulled the "Song of our people" joke from, though this may not be the origin. Are you planing on making us jealus. Although, playing as Reckoners could be fun, even if it would require a good deal of prior set up from both the GM and the party... unless you feel like playing week if not months of reconnaissance. Maybe. I'm sure we'll wreak a little mayhem. It'll be good times. Bleeeech. I prefer my flavors natural, thank you very much. Nature provides so much deliciousness; why fix what ain't broken? Except raspberry. Natural raspberry tastes like candy, which is kind of disgusting coming from a fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seonid he/him Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 So I have almost 6000 words now in my Thousand Realms Master Worldbuilding document, and I still haven't even gotten to the theoretical basis of mortal magic or godly powers. And after that, there's still an entire cosmological history to revise and insert (the original is great as far as it goes, but some of the underlying structure has changed since then, and it needs to be updated to reflect that). I begin to wonder if I am going overboard with this... Nah. I'm just getting started. After I finish this, Edassa is next. I'm actually getting very close to where I think I can start my worldbuilding thread. That's equal parts exciting and terrifying... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature provides so much deliciousness; why fix what ain't broken? But that's my point. "Artificial" flavors taste like actual, naturally occurring things. They're only artificial in the way they are obtained. Also, waiting miserably for work to finish so I can go grab Calamity and start reading it...
