Speaking of card games, what card game were the parshmen playing in OB? Is it based of a game, and if not, where can I find the rules?

I will write all the time

I'm technically lying, because I'm a huge procrastinator

But I have to take this oath to join the guild, so...

I will write all the time

Or try to, anyways

*waves hand* amen?

I'm awful at exposition, but I consider myself pretty good at writing scenes.

I have sworn the ideal. Now I just have to get the book I'm working on to a point where I'm willing to share it here...

So what exactly is the point of this thread? What are we here to do? I know it's the first day, but just thought I'd ask.

Once you have joined the Guild, you will receive your standard-issue Badge of Admission (can someone design that? I'm terrible at graphic design) and some basic writing devices.

Okay, but what about the two genre's together? Fantasy with sci-fi elements or sci-fi with fantasy elements (Like my book) is awesome, right?

Fantasi,(I'm amazing aren't I?) is like a Hapsburg, powerful if done right, and ugly reguardless.

What is a Hapsburg- oh. Those are some disgusting paintings. I'm not sure if it's as bad as you say. Skyward was pretty good, and that is kinda sorta futuristic fantasy.

Hapsburg was a powerful European house, that had a practice of inbreeding.

Go sit in a hole.

The right way to call it is King, Queen, Jack and Toilet and I have never heard anyone call it differently. You're all insane.

Even Cosmere books are like Fantasy books with Sci-fi elements. I will admit Sci-fi in regards to things like star trek is inferior to fantasy, but when you combine the two, they are really impressive. 

[BreezeCauthon he/him]

I have sworn the oaths. So... um... cool.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Welcome everyone! Dear gosh did this thread expand while I was gone...

[Chasmgoat he/him]

Yeah, that's kind of an inevitability at this point.
