If you're reading the book and you want to liveblog some thoughts as you read, this thread will exist so you can chat about Part One but NOT be spoiled by later stuff in the book. So feel free to discuss Part One of Rhythm of War! No spoilers, even tagged, for later portions of Rhythm of War beyond Part One.

It's just a lot of work, not just to make, but maintain, and we have trouble keeping the site maintained. Many browsers have options to put the link to the site on your home screen, so try that.

This is significantly harder than you'd think. Maintaining websites alone is kind of a lot. I've talked about this a lot:

[Spoilers up to OB] Looking for a recap/summary
Chaos replied to Zephryl's topic in Stormlight Archive
The Coppermind book summaries should not have spoilers for later books. We also did a quick Stormlight recap series: https://www.17thshard.com/news/features/stormlight-archive-recap-world-and-history-r584/ -
Since this is an extremely old topic, I will be closing it when Rhythm of War comes out. People are free to make threads complaining about Shallan, of course.

I'm still skeptical even if the tech side worked that it would be feasible to actually write prose to do this. Like, as you say... you can't see an old version of Voidbringer. But in that article's case, that would mean we are supporting two totally different articles solely based on spoiler reasons. I am deeply skeptical this would be scalable to the literal thousands of articles we have. I don't know. I wouldn't want you to do work that we ultimately decide just doesn't fit things.
-
It's not just a tech stack issue. It is a writing issue. For example, a Voidbringer page is completely different in Words of Radiance compared with Oathbringer. When things start intersecting later in the cosmere, it's only going to get much harder. There are not many editors and it isn't feasible to write for every spoiler case. Like, just imagine writing Mistborn: Secret History and trying to write for all cases on if people read Elantris vs. other things and such. The summaries will be spoiler free for future books, but we don't think it's really sustainable long term to do this. It'd be nice, but in practice, extremely difficult.

Digitally? No, it has not been distributed that way.

It's our second Dawnshard episode (and our last Shardcast before Rhythm of War), and this one is pedantic! We're getting to... well, the big thing we didn't talk about in the last one. There's so much to discuss here. And here's a great line from this episode: "I guess we are going off different definitions of the word 'action' here." Excellent. Grace also blows Eric's mind at one point. We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Grace (thegatorgirl), and David (Windrunner).

It's the last Rhythm of War preview chapter, chapter 19, and the end of Part One! Rhythm of War comes out Tuesday! It's nearly here at last! The hype train is rolling, as you can see with Marvin. Though this will be last Rhythm of Previews, we will have Danielle, Marvin, and also Eric on after they've read the book. We're not sure how it'll work exactly--Danielle and Marvin will hash out details after they have read it--but there will at least be full book reactions with us! Thanks for Alyx for editing this. We also have Chapter 19's epigraph in this episode too! You can find all of the preview chapters, our discussions on 17S, and Brandon's annotations of them here: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/91039-rhythm-of-war-sample-chapters-and-discussion-threads-index/ Here's our Rhythm of Previews playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgGfrVwudwTHINabIn5UWmO-TnwXw7qr8 Our Rhythm of War Review: https://youtu.be/VOEEfkKhQow Want a recap of Stormlight Archive?

Very interesting; I like it. It'd certainly be a big deal.

Dawnshard is out! If you're a Kickstarter backer, you already got it through Backerkit. You can also get it through Amazon, and will likely appear in other ebook stores soon if they haven't already. We have TWO Dawnshard podcasts coming this week, and this is our first one, on our spoiler-free Dawnshard reactions, characters, and some lore topics. Of course, the big lore topic will be the next one, which I will try to get out as soon as I can. Please support us on Patreon to fund the soda I need to get through editing this huge pile of stuff this month. This episode has Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Grace (thegatorgirl), and David (Windrunner).

Currently, there is not a mechanism to do this, and if we decided to do this, it would not be ready for a while. We can discuss it though.

When even separating a forum is not enough.
Chaos replied to Aspiring Writer's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
There are currently not programmatic ways to do these. We try to do our best, but this is as good as we can do, unfortunately. This is not a typical forum use case to have such strong spoiler policies. I would strongly recommend active users of the forum to read new books. The internet is a spoiler machine We do the best we can though. -
I would appreciate if we could leave information here that is helpful for the tech support issue, and leave other conversation elsewhere. Thanks!

What does this even mean?

I cannot replicate this on desktop Chrome or mobile Chrome.

Are you, like Chasmgoat, specifically replying to status updates? If you are on mobile, tell me your browser, phone, and OS version. I have never encountered these errors.
-
I can't replicate this. What browser and operating system are you on, @Koloss17 and @Chasmgoat?
-
I think setting expectations low is always a good idea for upcoming media. If your hype is so high, the reality will never meet it. It's a bit different story if you read part one and are loving it. In that case, the story is selling itself there.
-
It shouldn't be spoilery. Other reviewers were a bit more specific than me, but I didn't even name characters by name.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints corner
Chaos replied to Kelsier'sGodComplex's topic in General Discussion
No politics, please. -
I replied on this on my review, because some were asking about this being very inconsistent with Daniel Greene. I... definitely think there is a Sanderlanche. I respect Daniel a bunch, but I don't quite understand how he can say that there isn't one. That's all I'll say right now

Here's my spoiler-free review: There's also a written version:

Dawnshard Is Out To Backers + Spoiler Policy
Chaos commented on Chaos's article in Brandon and Book News
Likely Tuesday (or so)!
