Hey guys, for some reason this thread doesn't exist already, even though Davriel Cain exists. So, this is the MTG thread now. How many of us are there and what do you play?

I think so. Now can I bring Spook?

Ask not where I find these

I think every author has individual strengths and weaknesses. Brandon writes amazing worlds and characters, Tolkein was unique in his level of worldbuilding depth, Rothfuss has incredible prose, etc. I think Rowling's strength was her characters. I think all the people in the book, even the background characters, were well written and interesting. Half Blood Prince is the first book I ever remember where I was actually invested in a romantic relationship. The problems I have with the book are everything else. Her plot is inconsistent at best, she foreshadows well but pays it off badly, and her worldbuilding isn't just shallow, it legitimately has a bunch of problems that ruin the book for a lot of people (like house elves or all Slytherins being evil)

Can I bring my knowledge or apples?

Ising the giving of comfort

Can I bring tomatoes?

You can bring "my book" if it's your book if that's makes any sense

"Look, some Inquisitors you don't have sway over are going to hear us"

Is there a situation where I could bring potatoes?

Ok ok, I get it

Can I bring Oven Roasted Asparagus? Oven Roasted Vegetables?

Can I bring a peppered potato?

*sigh* "It raises more questions but yes."

"Not with Inquisitors! This was supposed to be subtle!"

"Listen, why did you bring us here?"

"Sel, this isn't going to go well."

@Hentient, we got to talk

Fadran, what can you bring? I'm bringing a board game

No, I refuse!

I hope not, that would be embarrassing

Wanting the bringing of the Tineye?

How about a parachute?

Disclaimer: I haven't read the Silmarillion and I don't know if I ever will. I think Tolkien wins on sheer amount of worldbuilding, with languages and crazy history, but I think Brandon has more depth in his cultures, and is broader in scope with the whole Cosmere. Plus I like his characters better as a whole. I feel like Tolkien really created modern worldbuilding and plot while Brandon is revolutionizing magic systems and characters
