Tell him that you're the one thing he can never crush.

Huh. The only times I can think specifically of what Marasi's wearing are when she's embarrassed--when she's wearing trousers in book one, and when her dress gets pushed up and shows her legs while she's on horseback in book two. I guess Brandon's not very interested in fashion except where it intersects with social mores.

Early Christmas present, I guess?

Your current avatar is already the ultimate expression of winter merriness.

I guess this might be surprising, but I actually didn't have the problem of evil in mind when I wrote this. I seem to have broached it without specifically meaning to, but it was only my intention to throw out a cynical deconstruction of good ol' Father Christmas. To be perfectly open and clear, I am myself a devout Christian and did not intend to give out an atheist or anti-theist message, or indeed a message connected to any one faith or ideology. The views and opinions expressed in this piece are not necessarily the opinions of Kobold Entertainment Incorporated, any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental, yada yada yada. In any case, thanks for all the praise! I typed this up with no planning or second drafting, and I've never done this sort of writing before, so I'm glad it turned out well. And it's pretty cool that people are analyzing it and seeing ideas within it that I hadn't explicitly had in mind--that's when you know you've actually succeeded in striking some sort of inner resonance with people.

I want to see a warm and sentimental special where Sylphrena teaches Kaladin the true joy of Christams. Also, I got myself a Christmas avatar too!

There's a doll named Hoid that is very popular with them. Mr. Sanderson is constantly making them share him, though Stormlight still gets to play with him the most.

Greetings fellow humans. Today I ventured in applying heat to cut bovine flesh on a grated metal surface. While more experimentation is required in order to achieve the ideal ratio between preparedness and rawness that is desired, success was achieved in the usage of pressed oils from small fruit, ground plant matter, sodium chloride, and minced bulbs from a fragrant weed. Sorry. I've been having fun re-imagining everything I read as if it were written by an alien trying and failing to blend in with the human race. Glad you had a great lunch!

Legion talks to himself a lot. Perfect State is a dreamer. The Alcatraz brothers are always breaking things.

Agh... must... not... upvote you...

Hmm... I don't think so. He'd recognize the Slider wasn't culturally homogeneous with the other characters, but might just assume she's from another culture. He's a Time Lord, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows what he's doing. Eh, I'm sure it'll turn out fine. Worst case scenario is that we randomly throw in a riot or Weeping Angels or something. I see no harm in just making it up as we go along. That's where all the best awesomeness comes from in the Reckoners RPG.

Not necessarily. Maybe the Slider likes life in the Final Empire and neglects to mention the moving statues while the Doctor's around. On the subject of skaa and nobles, I think we should build the RP around the characters, rather than vice versa. If everyone wants to play a noble, then we can just weigh the action predominantly around the noble houses. If there are a lot of skaa or half-skaa characters, it wouldn't be hard to extend the action into the slums. Speaking from experience in the Oregon RPG, this sort of thing tends to sort itself out. People tend to cooperate to get their characters into the action, so it's not something that needs a ton of rules and regulations to manage.

Relevant.

Maybe she can play a Slider who gets sent back in time by the Weeping Angels in AoL era?

"Merry Christmas, you fat egomaniac." * Christmas tree explodes in the background * Coming this December to a theater near you... Thanks for the praise, guys. Though, uh, just to be clear I didn't actually lose a puppy. That was the Narrator's puppy, not mine.

I would never presume to declare myself a writer in the same sentence as the name "Brandon Sanderson" is uttered, but if you're really darn angry at Santa Claus, I have the thing for you. The RP's elsewhere on the site are also packed with people's good writing.

Ah, I see. Who'll write for the Inquisitors who steal the TARDIS?

Maybe the RP could start off in two different places. The Scadrian characters could be introduced while they're pulling off a small job, establishing their personalities and relations with one another, while meanwhile the Doctor and Donna are milling about on some planet before the TARDIS decides to take them to the Cosmere.

Cool. Will Ripple be playing Donna, then?

My brother and I watching the Closing Time episode of Doctor Who: "So, what do you think happens to Stormageddon when he's a grown up?" "Well if he calls himself the Dark Lord of All when he's a baby, he'll probably a pretty melodramatic guy." "All that time with the Doctor would make him pretty smart. Pretty energetic too." "And if the name 'Stormageddon' is anything to go by he's probably an End Times nut." "..." "..." "...Oh Almighty." "He's Obliteration, isn't he?"
