  1. Tor has announced the full Skyward tour, use this topic to sign up for and discuss the Orem stop:
  2. I don't know about another way, but you could try dropping an email to Peter (Brandon's main assistant, [email protected]) and asking him if he could add you manually.
  3. Email him! Reddit PM! Carrier pigeon! Don't let your dreams be dreams!
  4. I bet Brandon would give you some juicy WoBs if you were to ask...
  5. Finding the Cosmere is definitely a highlight
  6. Oh wow, I am getting a "small world" kind of feeling - I've been keeping an eye on your wife's songs for a couple of years, having you here is a strange sensation. She is one of the very few non-visual artists in this fandom (that I know of), you should drag her in too so she can get some of the praise she deserves. Meanwhile, welcome! Hope you like it here.
  7. Feel free to come, we usually draw a decent crowd! During recent signings I've been trying to improve the waiting experience for people who, like me, plan on waiting until the end of the signing, so it's a pretty social event too. I didn't do too good of a job last time, but I am determined to improve - so Cosmere novices don't feel left out
  8. Well, I'll be in Naperville. November is shaping up to be a busy month, between a BlizzCon, a Skyward release, and a Skyward tour stop all in the same two weeks.
  9. I've gone ahead and removed the Aether spoilers. @Scion of the Mists is correct in saying that Aether discussion is only allowed in its dedicated subforum.
  10. This is the stance I've settled on too. Curses, my MO has been found. Time to start asking Adolin questions. But overall I like the writeup, and agree with most, if not all of it.

    That's just an excuse to make me zoom in on the pretty lady, and you know it.

    Boooiii, these are getting better and better with each one, and they are not coming out frequently enough to sate my hunger!
  13. So, fun fact, Googling Lestibournes brings up this photo

    Alonoe

    All of the Aonic names I can think of have their Aon either in the beginning or in the end. Alo sounds better to me than Noe, so I'll go with that until we have something official.
  15. Yeah, it's really difficult for me not to conflate the two...
  16. This is probably a better fit in General Brandon Discussion. Though if we stray into spoiler territory, I might send it back to.
  17. Ah, so... the question mark. Good news and bad news. Good news, I know exactly why it's there, and it's a neat, albeit small thing. No big secrets. The bad news, however, is that I can't share this. Sorry, I - like the dwarves - dug too deep...
  18. My brother played around with a very similar, but much more limited idea for one of his classes. The big challenges, as I recall them, were the physics of Steelpushing and Ironpulling (which you are already aware of) and how they work in Unity, and the visuals - how do you picture things like emotional Allomancy, for example. It's a big undertaking, but you've got some thinking done, which is good. I would only advise you to start small and see how the scope shapes up.
  19. With Oathbringer being out for an entire 8 months, it is easy to forget (or miss) our relevant spoiler policy, so I'll just remind you that Oathbringer spoilers, regardless of whether they are hidden behind spoiler tags, are only allowed in the Oathbringer Spoiler Board and the Cosmere Discussion forums.
  20. Hello. Welcome back to yet another episode of the hottest show in the Cosmere, Argent Bothers Random Employees of Dragonsteel Entertainment until He Gets Answers.This week we are doing an Isaac Special (because Karen didn't get me nearly as many upvotes as I had hoped, please go upvote my thread, my life has no meaning without these sweet sweet fake Internet points, and I am not above begging for them like the disgrace that I am). Ahem Anyway. Remember Navani's journal entries in Oathbringer, all the way back on the first page of this topic? The airship designs and the watch designs? Well, the translation of the former always bothered me - the "ha" at the end of the first sentence didn't fit with anything else we'd seen, and it didn't really fit with Navani's personality as I understood it. So I did what everyone without a shred of decency would've done - I asked Isaac. And, for good measure, I also asked about The Taker of Secrets page too, because people struggled with nailing that one too, and I am the kind of person who, instead of working through the solutions, goes and asks the teacher. And then writes two paragraphs before getting to the point. Which is. Navani's notebook: Ship Designs I am trying to find out more, but Isaac has been trained at avoiding answers by the best, so we'll see if it takes us anywhere. Navani's notebook: Watch Designs I now realize that I completely forgot about the huge chunk of text on the top of the page, but I think our (well, fine, @Pagerunner's) translation didn't include any oddities, so I am not too heartbroken. The Taker of Secrets: Border It would be supremely funny to me if @ccstat's guesses at the beginning of page 2 are not at all what Miranda meant to write, and it was just lucky that some of the symbols lined up to say things like "spies." So not super exciting, and the question mark is even more frustrating than it was in the beginning, but at least we know something.
  21. Lady Leshwi hands it to him, so yeah. She even unsheaths it as she hands it to him, so it's probably a Nightblood-like situation where the sheath is important.
  22. I don't know, pretty much every weapon is deadly to humans, but a lot of humans have no qualms holding and using them. The argument that the Fused were somehow afraid either Jezrien or the knife makes very little sense to me.
  23. I am a repository of useless information
  24. Generally no. Sometimes, if it's a book by a friend of his - Pat Rothfuss, Brian McClellan, Brent Weeks, Jim Butcher, and a couple of other are the ones I've seen this done with - he will write something funny in it. But, as a rule, no.
  25. Looks like somebody did you a favor and already asked this Obviously, still Oathbringer spoilers.
