Way to shameless plug the RP Welcome, dork!

Good to have your here, Curt! I look forward to discussing with you, too.

I'm a Dr Pepper addict, so I feel your pain. And joy, as the case most often is. Good to have you here, Rew!

You Welcome to the forums!

At least on the front cover. On the back cover, I can't even surmise what those would be.

I wish I was there, but classes started Monday (which, if you've been wondering why I've been so absent from the forums, that's why!). Particle physics + co-teaching a class = not really a good idea to drive to Utah again It looked awesome, though. Hopefully I'll be down for the next one.

Hey everyone, let's collect all your reactions to Brandon's latest tome. I'll start! Sort of. I just received my copy from Sam Weller's (#110, which is probably the best I could do not being at the release party). Seriously, you don't realize the beauty of the book until you hold it. The Way of Kings may be the prettiest epic fantasy ever made. I've read it before, but I'm not going to post my reactions to it just yet until I read it again. So, let's hear what your thoughts were on TWoK. Praise or criticism, let's hear it!

Oh man. That was awesome. I'm glad I could contribute to the questions, though! Come on people, you can guess on them. The one closest to my heart is the Great Houses of Luthadel. I can name nine off the top of my head Those insults, though. Priceless.

My count is at eight. It's been stated that Endowment is the only Shard on Nalthis (Warbreaker world). In the interview we have which will be posted soon (this is entirely my fault, stupid classes), Brandon confirmed Cultivation is a Shard on Roshar. We know a lot more about Shards now. My personal opinion is that we now know of all four Shards that Brandon talked about in the Hero of Ages Spoiler Thread, which he said at that time, there were four Shards other than Ruin and Preservation. Two we directly interacted with, one we've seen its influence, and the last one we haven't met itself, but have seen its power. Personally, I believe those are, 1. Endowment, 2. Aona (the similarity to AonDor is too obvious), 3. Odium, 4. Skai. Most of the interesting stuff happened on Elantris. So, let's recount, using the person's name as well as their Shard's purpose. Ati - Ruin (Scadrial) Leras - Preservation (Scadrial) [unknown] - Endowment (Nalthis) Rayse - Odium (Roshar) The Almighty (Roshar) [unknown] - Cultivation (Roshar) Aona - [unknown] (Sel) Skai - [unknown] (Sel) Bavadin - [unknown] (Unknown) So, looks like nine. Also, I strongly believe Rayse is Odium. It's pretty darn clear that Odium is the most dangerous (he's the Enemy that the Almighty talks about), and the Part Two epigraphs directly say Rayse holds the most dangerous Shard of them all. We have no reason to not believe the epigraph author, who probably knows about Shards than anyone else in the cosmere. Plus, we don't know that Bavadin is actually working with Rayse. It wouldn't surprise me, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Rayse killed Bavadin, too. Looks to me like, of the sixteen Shards, we know of nine, and one (Bavadin) is not yet attached to a world that's been published. My theory: The name of the Shard related to "The Almighty" is Unity. I have no basis for this, but the whispers of "Unite them" were too similar to Ruin's "kill them" to Zane.

Whoops! My bad.

One time, at band camp... (ahem. I couldn't resist) Awesome to have you here, Zayde! I look forward to seeing your posts around.

Hey Canoor, good to have you here!

April! You're alive, gasp. Welcome, welcome!

Hey Zas, excellent to have one of the more rabid theorizers here!

Welcome to the not-so-secret club of Sharders, Valkyn!

Whoa. That's interesting. I never heard that before.

Ostensibly, but it may not be that simple. On the Table of Allomantic Metals, it says alloys of lerasium give expanded "physical and enhancement effects". That's separate from actually creating Mistings. I sure would love to know how post-Hero of Ages scholars suspected that lerasium gave those expanded abilities, since I'd think there wouldn't be any lerasium to start alloying.

Indeed, I think Nathan Fillion and RDJ would both do a great job. I don't think it would be difficult at all for Fillion to change his usual persona into something more vengeful. The difficulty with Kelsier is that he's funny, but he's also dangerous. But, I would have no doubt that Fillion could pull it off. However, I think RDJ could inhabit that personality better.

Obviously Syl is known is Awesome, or Awesomespren. Oh, wait. That's not what you were looking for. Hmmm. I'm afraid I do not qualify to join in this discussion

I'm trying to minimize the amount of hidden boards, but there will be something like this.

Were you getting a Session Verification Error or something else?

Excellent point. I'm quite worried with the wiki about wild claims being unsubstantiated. That'll probably be a bigger challenge than typing the content itself.

Look who forgot to post this here! There's a pretty large community over on http://mistbornrpg.17thshard.com for the Mistborn RP. It's a beautiful site, with over thirty accepted characters. We're approaching our first Ball, so you should get in on the action soon!

Hey everyone, I may have fixed the session verification error. Please let me know or email me at chaos2651 at gmail.com if you get any sort of these errors, so I know if I really did fix it or not!

Hey, give us a little more credit than that Welcome, Jakobus!
