  1. We've known about this for a while. It's just a mistake. Pale green is right.
  2. Right now we're taking a break from Crunchyroll. The only thing we're watching is Kuromukuro on Netflix, and we've finished episode 12. It's a fun show with some funny reversals, like that the kid from 400 years ago is now getting better grades in English than the girl from present-day Japan.
  3. Ah, I'm sorry I didn't manage to stop by for this.
  4. You just can't handle how awesome she is.
  5. VAX is a discontinued instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the mid-1970s.
  6. Is anyone meeting to get dinner ahead of time?
  7. The way it worked in WoR's first draft is still canonical. There are subtle things that make the two situations different.
  8. Axehinds and axehounds are different.
  9. Ordering will hopefully happen around December 1st and it should start shipping right away. We're supposed to get the books delivered here in a couple weeks so Brandon can sign a lot of them before it's time to send them out. There was editing done on almost every page, but most of it people won't notice—just small word-level stuff. Isaac also redid one map and made one new map. The paper quality is better than Elantris's, and the text is much less cramped than the original hardcover's.
  10. It's not a retcon if it doesn't require changes to anything in canon.
  11. The calendars don't appear in Arcanum Unbounded, but they're mentioned on the map as old calendar/new calendar. Since the Lord Ruler actually kept the calendar the same, what this is referring to is only the placement of seasons, since those have to change from year to year because of the orbit.
  12. 12 pages of the White Sand comic plus the prologue and chapter 1 of the prose version.
  13. Not for five years. So if you want to read it, the whole book is the only way.
  14. Argent, I think it's an artifact of the book being split. It was planned to be the final book, but now book 5 will be the final book. This book was not as satisfying as previous books because there wasn't really a meaningful climax or ending. Kip doesn't figure out what he's missing about the situation, and then we see the big enemy gathering at the end just as a hook for the next book. Sometimes splitting works well, and sometimes it doesn't. This doesn't affect my enjoyment of the rest of the book, but it feels like I can't recommend it quite as wholeheartedly as usual until the final book is available.
  15. Those could go in the typos threads for the individual books. There isn't an audiobook for White Sand, so they wouldn't go in this thread.
  16. None of these are typos. Note is a joke. Flare is a pun. Isaac's name: Kindle app's fault. Not fixing this one because trying to isolate a fix just for the Kindle app is a huge pain. The app may get fixed in the future. Bastille's note's location is on purpose. If people miss it, that's their problem.
  17. I just stumbled across the annotations file that Brandon started writing for Way of Kings. It goes from the beginning up through chapter 12. So we are probably going to post these someday. EDIT: Probably next year in the run-up to the Oathbringer release.
  18. I'm working on getting a lot of these issues fixed for the ebook and for reprints. Cynder wears blue and Jon wears white. We really screwed that one up.
  19. Hmmm, I wonder whether anyone will see Hoid in this volume...
  20. I'm aware of the thread. Looks like we have some work to do.
  21. Nope, three different artists for three different covers. This cover is by Dave Palumbo. The White Sand excerpt is indeed meant to hook novel readers into trying the graphic novel. Plus it was important to Brandon to have the Taldain system map and the essay from Khriss in there.
  22. On the Coppermind the article Paliah says Pailiah is one of her aliases. But the spelling "Paliah" is never used in the books, only Pailiah.
  23. Yep, you've got it. No worries.
  24. I thought about this for a while, but this isn't an error. Kelsier is still in Shadesmar, and all the stuff (like the walls) in the Physical Realm manifests as misty stuff where Kelsier is. So even if he's carrying the knife and the orb, he can walk right through it.
