When is brandon going to realize that he can just crowdfund a movie.
like he made 41 million dollars from the year of sanderson kickstarter alone, and another 23 million from the WoR leatherbound. 64 million dollars for relatively small products.
The LOTR trilogy cost 514 million dollars, adjusted for inflation. That’s not that much more.
Okay sure it’s about 10x as much, but the fandom would be WAY more excited about getting a movie than about the Year of Sanderson. Probably around 10x as excited, by my estimation.
And then Brandon would have COMPLETE creative control. It’s the perfect solution.
-
I assume he can offer to buy the rights back pretty easily, especially if the company isn’t doing anything with them. And he hasn’t sold the movie rights for everything iirc, just for adaptations of a few specific novels, like MB.
edit: wait cool there’s a list on the coppermind: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Media_rights

Do you ever just randomly find a work of art that moves you in a surprisingly deep way
I've been staring at this for like 3 hours
Spoiler
Just a random image found while searching for visual aids for my dnd campaign
inspired me to add an entirely new plot thread.
-
can't find any original image for the life of me, I'd love to see what else this artist has done
its been around for a while though, seems like there's reposts of it since 2019 at least

Anyone have any unique ideas for a cursed weapon
i feel like everything's been done before
in a dnd campaign that im running, i just had a player find a cult hideout, where they picked up a sickle covered in blood that they found lying on an altar.
so like naturally this is gonna be some kind of cursed blade
but i dont actually know what it's effects are gonna be yet
any ideas? all the obvious stuff has been done a million times, "steals its user's life force" and "drives the holder to a murderous rampage" are a bit well worn at this point
-
in case anyone was curious, i ended up going with “as soon as you picked up the blade, you were mentally transported to a plane of existence similar to what you would call hell. You were tormented there for millions of years, unable to die, before being transported back into your body at the same moment you left, with all memories of the experience erased.”
(inspired by the heralds being tortured on Braize.)
ofc i didn’t reveal this to the player until much later. It tied into the plot pretty well, was def a cool reveal, i’m happy with it.

Nobody sees these anymore but *things* have been happening with the minecraft server so figured I'd update y'all.
So remember how I said we'd be resetting the server in July
that
did not happen
So long story short, but our server hosting provider, Minehut, absolutely messed up and deleted our server, with our only backup being from over a month ago. Nobody wanted to redo an entire month of work, so we started Sharders Season 1.5.
Brand new world, much more polished serverside, cool discord integrations now, its nice. A world download is available for Season 1 in our discord too, if you're just curious what we've been up to.So if you want to join a brand new SMP, check it out, now's the time. We're gonna be adding plugins and datapacks and stuff and just generally have fun with this. Season 2 is still scheduled for minecraft 1.21, so this isn't gonna be a super longstanding world. Or maybe we keep this world and just update, not sure yet.
Gotta verify your account in the Discord now, join here: https://discord.gg/w5444SzaXd
And ofc the server IP is still: sharders.minehut.gg-
I have also added a plugin that should let bedrock players join!
if you're on a version that lets you add your own servers that ishaven't tested it at all so it may not work, but ip would be "sharders.bedrock.minehut.gg"

Has anyone here played “Among Us”? Is it good?
-
yeah same, stopped posting them for the same reason =P
status updates were like 90% of my site usage so i rly haven’t been here much
that’s part of the reason i’m looking through my SU history lol, was sorta doing a cleanup of my digital footprint, since i don’t plan on being here very much anymore

Hey, do you know what's going on with the 17S Minecraft server? I tried joining and it said it doesn't have enough credits to start.

waiit there's a 17S minecraft server?
it’s not official, none of the 17th shard staff are involved. (well some of them have played on the server, but they don’t run it.)
but yeah it’s open to anyone on the shard. there’s a discord too, link in my About Me.

Well goodbye.
I've been anticipating this moment for a long time. As many of you know I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
As such I am leaving to serve a mission to preach the gospel. And I will be gone for two years doing so. I tried preparing blogs to be posted every month, but I took too long and only made it to January, but feel free to keep those updated on anything interesting that happens.
Goodbye my friends.
God be with you till we meet again.

Hey everyone. I know that some of you are confused or concerned about Fadran's disappearance from the Shard. I've been able to talk to him a bit recently, and he gave me permission to tell everyone what he told me. I figured this would be a convenient place to do it, so people can see it whenever they check his profile.
He doesn't have a particular reason for leaving, it seems like he just generally needed a break. It's helped him be more productive so far. Whether he'll be returning at all is uncertain. I wouldn't say it's an impossibility, but there is a chance that he's left the Shard for good.
If anyone has some sort of message they'd like me to pass along, I can do that, though I'd ask that you be respectful of his decision if you do. I know I probably don't have to say that, but I figured I'd make it clear. If you happen to play Minecraft Java, he's on the Shard's server sometimes at Sharders.minehut.gg.

he's on the Shard's server
*dannex's minecraft server that is shard-based and open to all 17th shard members
not officially run or monitored by any 17th shard staff though

Notifications are broken, site is unusable, prob not gonna be here much anymore except for actual brandon sanderson conversation. i just can't use it as a "social" platform anymore it just doesn't work.
add me on discord if you wanna stay in touch ig
might go back to using my tumblr (ew cringe) for when i have the "gotta make a status update" thought
so if you've ever liked any of my quote unquote "poetry" posts or mindless rambles maybe go find me over there idk
-
this doesn't affect the minecraft server at all btw
that'll continue as planned and is still open for anyone here to join

i mean it’s just 23 characters. only slightly above average length considering all the people with multi-word usernames. mine just looks extra long cause repeated character and no spaces. i still haven’t found any instances of it actually having text box issues myself either, looks perfectly normal everywhere on my end. sounds like a device specific issue not a site one.

Y'all know the minecraft server I run
you should, i'm plugging it all the time
well if you'd ever thought about joining it, now would be the time.
we're exactly halfway through the server's lifespan. I started it 233 days ago, and I'll be rebooting it in roughly 233 days on a brand new world for the new update. So if you join now, you can still say you experienced a majority of the entire server lifespan.
You should all join at least once, just to take a look around. we've got some insanely talented builders over here and they need to be appreciated more <3

its sharders.minehut.gg if you'd forgotten

Youtube: [Recommends a video chronicling all the lightsaber duels in Star Wars]
Me: I guess it's time for a TIER LIST
Spoiler(I didn't actually do that I'd need a lot of screenshots)
First of all:
Garbage:
- Luke vs. Leia (Rise of Skywalker): Apparently this one counts? I gave it a 1/10, and frankly I think it deserves less. It's approximately three seconds long and absolutely nothing happens.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Asajj Ventress (Star The Clone Wars Wars): 2/10. It's awkward and jumpy and Kenobi is kind of annoying throughout the whole thing.
- High Inquisitor vs Kenan Jarrus, Rematch 2 (Rebels): 2/10. There were an awful lot of these semi-fights, and this one was the worst.
- Kylo Ren vs Rey (Rise of Skywalker): 2/10. Their first fight in this god-awful movie. I really needed Rey to stop grunting all the time - this will become something of a theme
- Master Yoda vs The Senate (Revenge of the Sith): 3/10. On the notepad I gave this 0 for the Sin of Interrupting Duel of the Fates, but honestly it deserves better than all the above pieces of garbage.
- Anakin vs Dooku, feat. Sand (Star The Clone Wars Wars): 3/10. Out of the two god-awful lightsaber duels this god-awful movie had, this one was almost acceptable. Gets points for tactical usage of sand.
- Anakin & Kenobi vs Ventress (The Clone Wars): 3/10. She grunts too much.
- Ben vs Rey (The Rise of Skywalker): 3/10. This fight is garbage. Too much grunting.
Watchable:
- General Kenobi vs General Grievous (Revenge of the Sith): 3/10 - one point for about every second of actual lightsaber vs lightsaber combat there is in this "fight"
- Darth Maul vs Qui-Gon Jinn (The Phantom Menace): 4/10. Remember when they fought for about three seconds on Tatooine? It was okay.
- Darth Maul vs Pre Visla (The Clone Wars): 4/10. It's a decent action scene, but hardly any of it is actual Lightsaber Duel
- Anakin vs Barriss Offee (The Clone Wars): 4/10. The fight itself is a little uneventful, but does come with a great meme
Spoiler
and yes - this is the best-quality image I could find.
- The Senate vs Master Windu (Revenge of the Sith): 4/10. First few seconds of Palpatine just killing off random schmucks is a little weird, but his duel with just Windu is pretty solid. Obv I don't like the grunting but it's kind of part of the effect with Sheev.
- Ben vs Vader (Kenobi): 4/10. Yeah it's okay.
- Grand Inquisitor vs Kenan Jarrus, Rematch 1 (Rebels): 4/10. Tries to be like Dooku vs Anyone, but ultimately comes up short.
- Ezra & Kenan vs. Inquisitor Bros (Rebels): 4/10. The action is okay, but it suffers from Conversationitis
-
Ezra, Kenan, & Ahsoka vs Inquisitor Bros (Rebels): 4/10. Again, the action is okay... but this time there are just way too many lightsaber blades to make sense of any of it.
- And then Maul shows up: 3/10. The action actually becomes worse now.
- Blind Kenan vs Maul (Rebels): 4/10. It's okay, but also about three seconds long.
- Sabine vs. Mandalore guy (Rebels): 4/10. It was kinda boring.
- Rey vs Kylo Ren (The Force Awakens): 4/10. I would rank it way lower if the CGI wasn't as good.
Decent:
-
Darth Sideous vs. Maul & Savage (The Clone Wars): 5/10. Would've been better if there'd been more Lightsaber and less Force Pushing
- Maul vs. Darth Sideous: 11/10. After Savage is killed, this fight becomes wildly incredible.
- Count Dooku vs. Anakin & Kenobi (Revenge of the Sith): 5/10. It's actually kinda lucky it got this high - the whole thing is carried by the last few seconds of Anakin vs Dooku. Otherwise it's just some weird Force shenanigans.
- Darth Vader vs. Third Sister (Kenobi): 5/10. Respect any fight that lets Vader give absolutely no craps about his opponent.
- Inquisitor vs Kenan Jarrus, Rematch 3 (Rebels): 5/10. And another one gone... this one's okay. Ezra shows up later on and the fight tries to be Maul vs Kenobi & Qui-Gon, which... no.
- Finn vs. Kylo Ren (the Force Awakens): 5/10. Remember earlier when I said Rey's first duel with Kylo was bad? In fact, it was so bad that Finn's loss was actually better than her win.
- Kenobi vs Vader (A New Hope): 5/10. It's the first ever lightsaber duel and it honestly goes pretty hard.
Pretty Good:
- Kenobi vs Dooku (Attack of the Clones): 6/10. 'S okay.
- Padawanakin vs Dooku (Attack of the Clones): 6/10. 'S okay
- Kit Fisto vs General Grievous (The Clone Wars): 6/10. Was better than I expected and remembered.
- Ventress & Savage vs. Count Dooku (The Clone Wars): 6/10 here we have the first Prime Example of Clone Wars Dooku kicking name and taking bubblegum.
- Ventress vs Ahsoka (The Clone Wars): 6/10. This is the one a little way's in when Ahsoka's been framed or whatever... maybe I should've dropped it lower. There wasn't much Lightsaber going on the whole time.
- Inquisitor vs Kenan Jarrus (Rebels): 6/10. Yeah, that's right - there were four of these. And the first one was the best.
- Ahsoka vs Maul (Rebels): 6/10. For all five seconds we have, it is glorious.
Really Good:
-
Darth Maul vs. Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Phantom Menace): 7/10. A legendary duel, if a tad slow in the middle.
- Maul vs. Kenobi: 11/10. Those last thirty seconds are incredible.
- Dooku vs. The Ghost Witch Ladies (The Clone Wars): 7/10. Did I mention how epic Clone Wars Dooku was? He's the only one who could take completely unnatural-looking movements and a pair of pajamas and make it look metal as hell.
- Kenobi vs. Darth Vader (Kenobi): 7/10. I liked it. Dropped off near the end.
- Vader vs. Ahsoka (Rebels): 7/10. Darth Vader's movements seem a little weird, but otherwise it's a great fight.
- Obi-Wan vs. Padawanakin (Kenobi): 8/10. Say what you will about this show, but it had some pretty solid lightsaber duels.
- Yoda vs. Count Dooku (Attack of the Clones): 8/10. Yeah, yeah... the screaming is weird. But otherwise it's definitely the best fight in the movie.
- Count Dooku vs. Yodette (Tales of the Jedi): 9/10. Started weird; got better.
Really Good:
- Count Dooku vs. Anakin & Obi-Wan, Drugs Edition (The Clone Wars): 9/10. Peak Dooku! Peak Dooku. I will take no criticisms at this time.
- Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back): 9/10. Did you know that this movie is actually really good???
The Best Ones:
- Luke Skywalker vs. Anakin Skywalker (Return of the Jedi): 10/10. Did you know that this movie is actually really damn good???
- Maul vs. Ben Kenobi (Rebels): 11/10. They finished Maul's story with a duel against Kenobi... it lasts three seconds.
Tied for First Place:
- Anakin Skywalker vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Revenge of the Sith): 12/10
- Ahsoka Tano vs. Maul (The Clone Wars): 12/10

i think you’re letting your general hatred of the sequels bias your opinion on the fights
like if we’re judging pure choreo, sequels ain’t bad at all. RoS had some pretty dang cool fights all things considered. Taking the plot into context and well yeah, not great, but the choreo and effects are generally better just by virtue of them being newer, better special effects tech and that fat disney budget do have some benefits.
