    So, random question here. Does anyone know what the word/character limit for a post is on the Shard?
  2. Seonid
    I might be interested, and I have quite a bit of DMing experience with d&d 3.5 (the spiritual predecessor of Pathfinder). I don't have time to participate until may, though. So if this hasn't gotten if the ground by then, or if it has but you've reached a place where it makes sense to add another player, I'd be interested.

    I hate you, Wilson. There’s no way I’m going to have enough time to play this one - and I've wanted to for a while. Ah well, I'll take a spec doc link, and seethe with jealousy of the folks who actually get to play

    Is it awful of me that I would prefer turn in nothing and receive an F on an assignment than turn in a poor one and get a C?
  5. Seonid
    This isn't ok. That type of lashing out on his part is potentially very dangerous. I don't know what to say to help - but I'd advise doing the best you can to get out of the situation, if that's an option.

    Sorry Twi. Brain weasels are no fun at all. Right now, I've got a hardcore case of them about my worldbuilding/writing stuff. Even after everyone on the forum who's said that they're excited and think the stuff I write is amazing, I still find it difficult to believe that anyone would be interested if I posted anything. Oddly enough, the more I write, the worse it gets in some ways. Like, it used to be "Nobody will be interested in that, it's not fleshed out enough yet." Now its "gosh, you put waaay too much detail in there. Even in the unlikely event anyone was interested in the first place, putting out so much is going to dissuade them." Logically, I know that they're wrong. But it's not about logic.

    Where is Falchion located again? If he's in or near The Dalles, he could fight Paladin - though I'm not sure how that would turn out. Mastery of a sword is a good thing, but atium-like precognition is a whole separate ballgame.
  8. Seonid
    That sounds awesome! And I understand your feelings. I'm not that great with creating characters, but my worldbuilding is rather decent. If you are interested in posting some of what you're doing, I'd love to see it. (If not, that's totally cool too.) Wow. I didn't know that my last RP was that popular. It kind of fizzled out quickly enough - partially due to my suddenly increased lack of time to put into it, I think. I'm actually kind of flattered that it's remembered fondly enough that folks would get all excited over the prospect of me starting a new one. That might be enough to get me actively thinking about a new RP setting. There were 5 left over in Edassa that we hadn't even touched yet, but I think Edassa is tricky to do stuff with because I know so much about it. A place where there is more discovery left - on my part - would be a better RP setting for an Edassa-style RP. On the other hand, I could take a look at putting together a module more like traditional Dungeons and Dragons - maybe even modifying the D&D 3.5 ruleset for the setting and a forum experience. Look at me. I definitely shouldn't be thinking about this now. At all. I still have to think about graduating. After that, we'll see. *sneaks away to start brainstorming RP rulesets*

    The Thousand Realms Master Worldbuilding Thread nears publication point. Watch this space for further updates...

  10. Seonid
    Well, not really an RP. More a grand compilation of background information. I don't have time to run another RP. If there's enough interest, after I graduate (this May) I may start up a new Edassan RP, or even a sci-fi one set in the Starnet. Or even, if you beg and plead enough, one set in Hatharin or the City of Mortals. I'd have to do a lot of discovery writing to figure those settings out, though. Which probably wouldn't be a bad thing for me.
  11. Seonid
    So I have almost 6000 words now in my Thousand Realms Master Worldbuilding document, and I still haven't even gotten to the theoretical basis of mortal magic or godly powers. And after that, there's still an entire cosmological history to revise and insert (the original is great as far as it goes, but some of the underlying structure has changed since then, and it needs to be updated to reflect that). I begin to wonder if I am going overboard with this... Nah. I'm just getting started. After I finish this, Edassa is next. I'm actually getting very close to where I think I can start my worldbuilding thread. That's equal parts exciting and terrifying...
  12. Seonid
    From my experience, the more I adult, the more confident I get at doing it. When you're out from your toxic home environment, that will come even faster for you. I predict that a year from now, you'll be in a comfortable job with full confidence in your ability to live your own life without relying on your parent's support. I'm excited for you!
  13. Seonid
    I ought to mention that I love this little piece - I remember it inspiring me to write up my own cosmological history for my fantasy setting. (I'm not sure if that memory is accurate, because the dates are weird for that, but it's beautiful enough to have inspired me to do so even if little nitpicky things like dates say otherwise. Off-topic question - Kaymyth, did you post an earlier version of this in a Random Stuff thread? Or maybe one of the Question threads?) Mostly, I just wanted to say that I have much praise for this (since somehow I never posted about it before), and am delighted to see that it has found renewed attention.
  14. Seonid
    You need to. They are almost as good as the Reckoners series. Some of them may be better

    On the other hand, Brandon has said that he needs to write the Elantris sequels before he can get into the next (Era 2 if you count Alloy as 1.5, or Era 3 if you counts Alloy as 2) Mistborn trilogy. It could be that he intends to resurrect Dominion in those books, and not really deal with Trell until then. (Assuming Dominion = Trell, which isn't certain, but is an interesting theory)
  16. Seonid
    What was so wrong with Interstellar? If you don't want to drag this thread off-topic, feel free to move your answer into a PM
  17. Seonid
    I see we have a budding horror writer here...
  18. Seonid
    I asked this in the random stuff thread, but I thought it would be a useful question here too. How interested would you folks be if I were to post a thread dedicated to my workshops and settings? Just trying to see if there's enough interest at this time to make the project worthwhile.
  19. Seonid
    Alright - just gauging interest here. How interested would folks here be if I were to start a thread about my worldbuilding, settings, stories, etc.? Do y'all think it would be a project worth pursuing (for you folks, not me - I'm going to be writing it all up regardless)?
  20. Seonid
    I should be writing my lab report. Or doing my arabic homework. Unfortunately, neither is happening at the moment. In good news, though, I've finished one section of my Massive Comprehensive Thousand Realms worldbuilding document. (Specifically, the section on the primordial chaos - fun stuff)
  21. Seonid
    You know, Twi, I think that you're being just a wee bit overly paranoid here. They gave you the offer, you accepted it, you're on your way to fill out the last requirements. They won't have changed their minds without telling you. Decent people don't do things like that. Even (especially?) government agencies.
  22. Seonid
    That's why I recommended it to you. I don't know how guaranteed any particular brand of turkey bacon is to have been slaughtered/prepared in accordance with kosher guidelines, but I'm sure there has to be one out there somewhere. No idea if they sell one in Australia, though.
  23. Seonid
    I prefer my steak medium rare. Still red is a no-go, I'm afraid. And chicken must be cooked all the way through. Sausage should be crispy, bacon can go either way for me, I enjoy it all. Turkey bacon is actually pretty good, and I'd recommend it to Delightful (if you can find it kosher, of course). The flavor is similar enough. But in all cases, I actually prefer meat as a flavoring, and not as the main meal. Meat in casseroles, on pizza, in pasta dishes? Love it. Large steaks or chicken breasts as the main course with few side dishes? I'll enjoy it once or twice, but if it becomes a regular thing, I get tired of it real quickly.
  24. Seonid
    Welcome back! Glad to see you around these parts again!

    For maybe getting a booth at LTUE
