Shivertongue

I play Pathfinder, and it'd probably be just a one-night/one-shot kind of campaign. Not sure about level, but likely somewhere between 5 and 10.

I will teach you. ^^

I will be there! With my Brandon-beating Commander deck! BRING IT, AUTHOR MAN! ...I'm also bringing D&D. ^^

Yay! New distraction from schoolwork!

I didn't even know you posted anything. This was just a general statement. I'll let whatever you posted slide for now.

Just want to add something, and if this has been addressed before, then... well, deal with it. This is just a general, common sense rule that I am only stating so that it's on the record. Until Alloy is released, those who have read it or an ARC should not discuss what they know on any section of the forum other than this one. I would personally prefer that this include not even hinting or teasing at anything, because I know that used to annoy me. Thoughts on this? Think I'm right, or completely off-base? I'm open to discussion. ^^

Dan is win. If you haven't read his books, go do it. Now. I'll wait.

MY ROBOT PRIEST RIDES A DRAGON!

MWAHAHAHAHA!

I'm going to throw my thought out here and say that Alcatraz Smedry will be the winner. His breaking talent is powerful enough to overcome any Cosmere magic.

In other news, Shivertongue falls for his second April Fools prank of the day due to extreme tiredness and not going to bed when he should have. When asked for comment, the sleep admin said, "At least I wasn't RickRoll'd with this one."

Graphic design major, which is something to keep me busy while I work on novels and stuff. I'd add something funny here, but it's almost five AM and I'm sleepy.

Okay, what is up with that write-up? It's been several years since I read ASoIaF, but I do not remember Jon having powers anything like that...

Your awesome points have already been confiscated. What you are so zealously protecting are diet awesome points, which contain absolutely no awesome. And sorry, spikes don't mean promotion. Spikes mean we had some extra spikes and didn't want them going to waste. If you are punished with a promotion, you'll know it when we force you to eat a Shard.

Failed. You did not use it in an example with the required subjects.

Okay, I have a math question for you... Solve 5x^-2y^10 over 2x^-1(-3x^-3y^-1)^-2 and then use it in an example that involves monkeys, cheese, and a Pewter Misting that's been spiked with a Bronze Hemalurgical spike granting your choice of Allomantic mental abilities. This isn't to stump you. It's honestly been driving me crazy for days.

I'm sorry Alyx, but Silus is not permitted to award awesome points. I'll have to take these back.. Anyone else who has received awesome points from Silus, please hand them in now. Silus, return any awesome points still in your possession immediately. I don't even know where you got these, since we keep them in the super-secret staff board... Oh, and glad to have you here, Alyx! You have a spiking appointment next Friday at 3:45. Don't be late.

Math is fun. But you know what is more fun that doing math? NOT doing math!

Adonalsium was a vase. Hoid knocked it over. He's trying to collect the pieces so he can crazy glue them back together before his wife gets back from visiting her mother. Brandon is writing an epic sitcom episode. Discuss.

Wrong! CS Lewis HIMSELF said that chronological order was the best way to read the books. From Wikipedia: "I think I agree with your [chronological] order for reading the books more than with your mother's. The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P. Caspian as a sequel and still didn't think there would be any more, and when I had done The Voyage I felt quite sure it would be the last, but I found I was wrong. So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them. I’m not even sure that all the others were written in the same order in which they were published."

Oh, wow... that is bloody perfect! Seriously, if everyone on this site doesn't go and vote for Vin, I will change the background images to Edward Cullen making out with Jacob Black. I am not kidding. I will not allow any Terry Goodkind filth to beat out Sanderson without using the entirety of my power.

Unless that's just what he WANTS us to think...

Great book and an amazing series. Jim Butcher is one of the only authors who has managed to satisfy me with EVERY book. As for Wise Man's Fear, I am about halfway through. Like Eric, I am taking the time to savor it - I've been waiting four years for it, and I don't want to rush.

I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings when I was five. It all went downhill from there. I read The Chronicles of Narnia next, when I was six - and if anyone tells me that The Magician's Nephew is NOT the first book proper, then I will smack them with a shovel. The chronological order is the correct one! Between the ages of six and ten, there were a bunch of fantasy novels I remember little of. The head injury knocked some of those memories out, sadly to say. But then... age eleven, I began The Wheel of Time. That was the end. I was gone. Fantasy had me in it's grips and has yet to let me go. And I don't want it to. Despite having read many others before it, I consider The Wheel of Time to be my true introduction to fantasy, and I consider the books, all of them, among the best fantasy novels I have ever read. Even the ones other people got pissed off with.
