Um. I think Brandon miscounted.

The Three Musketeers - STEAMPUNK Version!
PeterAhlstrom replied to KChan's topic in Entertainment Discussion
We had a great time in Cowboys & Aliens. This movie looks fun. I had no idea it existed, and now I'm looking forward to it. -
The outdoor shot had a bunch of green plants. What was the clip of the girl throwing discs at the camera from? I thought this was pretty cool.

Ha! No, the saltwater/freshwater thing doesn't carry over.

Question about unreleased works
PeterAhlstrom replied to MasterGhandalf's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Silence Divine hasn't been written. Best way to get White Sand or Aether of Night is to email Brandon through the web interface and ask. -
Please don't post on this thread if you want to win. Post on the front page.

What are you playing right now?
PeterAhlstrom replied to Link Von Kelsier Harvey's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I'm playing Eenies at War. I usually play a plant. -
Who are the Ghostbloods? (spoilers)
PeterAhlstrom replied to Meandering Monotreme's topic in Stormlight Archive
Wow, I didn't know Taravangian was that hard to spell. Or are you just using random 4–6-syllable words starting with T and throwing in a g, v, and n or possibly m? It could be a repeating joke, like the pterodactyl in Alcatraz.- 25 replies

Zas is obviously an ardent.

Ben also did the broadsheet illustrations in Alloy of Law, and the layout mockup, and wrote some of the text. And all the illustrations in the RPG book too, of course.

The glyphs are constructed a completely different way.

Those quotes from the book and Brandon are consistent with each other, with no retconning involved. When the short story starts, he's already with Gemmel.

Rats...

The rear endsheets are supposed to be parts of a stained-glass window somewhere.

I stand by my statement in Reply #942 in that thread. Anyway, that Wikipedia article isn't wrong, you're just reading it wrong. It doesn't say a prophet is the Word of God. It says prophecy is the Word of God. Big difference. You can say the Bible is the Word of God (and LDS also believe the Book of Mormon is the Word of God). Jesus Christ himself is also known as the Word. I am neither, so it's not an appropriate usage. But as has been said, that's off-topic.

Brandon wrote it by hand on the paper during the final proofreading stage, and the production department typed it in wrong. (Or had trouble with his handwriting.)

Ferrings. It only appears in the Ars Arcanum.

[Dan Wells] Ebook suggestions
PeterAhlstrom replied to Mad_Scientist's topic in Entertainment Discussion
PDF is not an ideal form for reading ebooks. I would get the ePub version from Smashwords and then use a desktop ePub reader on your computer, such as the Nook application or Adobe Digital Editions. ePub makes a convenient format for reflowing text, adjusting the size for comfortable reading, etc. PDF is a static format. I personally read ebooks on my iPad or my iPhone using Stanza. But the desktop version of Stanza is, I think, not that great (though I haven't tried it recently). You could try Stanza on your computer too though. There are a bunch of different programs to read ePub books on the computer; try a few and pick the one you like best. -
I felt that Marci was a great person but that she didn't really know who John was. And thus we don't really know how she compares unless we can see her reaction to who John really is. Though it's been a couple years since I read the book so I could be remembering incorrectly.

You're on the FFML too, eh? I've been on it for 10 years or so.

That many games at once, you must be playing all the time! I have other stuff to do...I usually only have 3 or so very active games.

All of those typos except for the metalborn one don't appear in the hardcover. It's too late to get the metalborn one fixed, but at least it's minor.

[Dan Wells] Favorite in the trilogy
PeterAhlstrom replied to Chaos's topic in Entertainment Discussion
The third book was a tour de force. So gut-wrenching.
