I'll say hello

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Hello everyone, I'm a nooby around here, but I plan to become more than adept at this forum by the time I'm through. Anyone else? Also, any suggestions?

[Stick. she/her]

Welcome ShadowLord_Lith! Have an upvote!

People will come and tell you something about cookies soon enough 

So which Sanderson books have you read?

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

I've read all the Mistborn books (except the secret history), all of the Reckoner books, and all of the Stormlight Archive so far as well. I'm planning to read the Emperors Soul next. What about you, I_am_a_Stick?

I've read all Cosmere books, almost all the short Cosmere novels and only the reckoners series from Non-Cosmere

The Emperor's soul and Elantris are set in the same world, so you'd want to read Elantris first. They aren't connected, but you can catch small references of Elantris in The Emperor's Soul

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

okay, thanks for the info Daniyah, that probably saved me some confusion.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Well, you two have gotten around. how well do you know each magic system you've read about, Elenion? How about you, I_am_a_Stick? ?

Well dang it, double post. I've heard/seen so many complaints about it and then... Bam, I do it. sorry guys.

Haha it's okay! No need for apologies at all 

I know pretty much about the magic systems but not nearly as much as others here on the shard  my favourite is Surgebinding, followed by Allomancy

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Mine is the reverse, so far. Which order are you? And what misting type are you? Or are you a Mistborn? Twinborn?

[Stick. she/her]

I'd love to be a Mistborn and a steelrunner at the same time but that's not a thing

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

well... with a little terrace blood, some Lerasium and a little luck, it could happen.

About double-posting it's actually not as bad as they make it sound. Triple posting, however...

I'm at medium knowledge of Allomancy, Feruchemy, and Hemalurgy (read the first trilogy but not the second). Surgebinding I probably know much of what's out there. AonDor and Dakhor it's been too long since I've read Elantris, so I forgot most of the mechanics.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Interesting, Elenion, maybe you could teach me some of the mechanics for AonDor and Dakhor sometime. May I ask what SE is? I've seen it once or twice around the forum and I've no clue what it is.

This probably made Elenion happy.

Lol. SE stands for Sanderson Elimination, which is a game played on the 17th shard, somewhat similar to Mafia, except set in Sanderson book settings. It also has a bit of Role-Play thrown in. I would advise staying away from SE until you've read all, or most of the books. If you want more info on SE, ask Elenion. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Got it, thanks Lord Renoux. Where, may I ask, do you spend your time?

SE is Sanderson Elimination, basically a large (about 20 people) game of Mafia that takes place on one of Sanderson's worlds. Roles are based off of characters and abilites from that particular world. Some players (such as I) choose to role-play characters, but that's not required. Anyone who has played Mafia before can learn to play very easily, and even if you haven't the rules aren't too complicated.

*muses* I am most pleased. Have an upvote.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Interesting... I'll have to join one of your games, once I've read around a bit more. It sounds like fun. Are any of you on the RP threads?

Elenion, I've been meaning to ask... what is your picture from? I don't think I've seen it before.

It's Szeth facepalming.

As for RP, I'm in a freeform RP called Desolations and Dustbringers (D&D), but we're at player cap right now. I'm also role-playing in SE's LG24.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Aah, that makes sense, thanks. What is... you know, your RP is probably about the knights radiant, isn't it? The desolations tipped me off. Even if I can't join, what is going on so far?

[Voidus]

Bit redundant now but, welcome to the forums!

Can I interest you in a welcome-cookie? 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

What kind? Chocolate chip or Oreo?
