HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES

We got a significant hint towards the ending of stormlight 5. Dan was about to reveal the end of one of their dnd campaigns when brandon told him to stop because that was his stormlight 5 ending. This was in the episode "thats not just a fail, its a critical fail. any theorizing ideas?

ooh that sounds good

I would like to attempt to purge the fire from my system(if not her squire could I choose an assistant or other such role, dont worry my character isnt likely to be particullarly helpful.)

Nedwin walked along besides Clanda. He would turn his life around for the better, he would. He might not be able to make it into the academy but maybe he could at least return enough money to his parents to make up his debt.He had fully understood what the woman had said, and had been somewhat indignant at the comment on gambling. She seemed good enough"good lady, you wouldnt happen to be in need of a squire".(By the way, im not sure what i was thinking making my character inebriated, as now he cant interact with other characters meaningfully, is there any magic that could be used to counteract my drunkeness) Nedwin was lazy yes, but he had quite the silver tounge, how else could he convince other people to do his work for him. "ill work for nothing to start. I have knowledge of magic and a fair ammount of raw potential."

Nedwin continued to stare up a Clandra with a sickening admiration

wait is this for real?

Also I feel like the punic wars are one of the great untapped fantasy novel inspirations.  The drama of 2 great empires, clashing a brilliant and yet ruthless enemy general whose surname means thunder bolt. An arrogant and stupid general who led so many men to their deaths, the delay, and the clash at zama. It was pretty much the real 1st world war(at least most of europe and part of africa, which isnt much more than the 1st world war. on top of this, some historical settings have a certian, oh i learned that in history class vibe. This war is little known enough that you could make a really fresh feeling story from it. We should at least get a good tv show set then.

p.s. It cracks me up every time to immagine cato giving a speech like... and that is why it is vital that we rework brundisiums sewer system. Also carthage must be destroyed

TPBM has a dog

Think about what genres havent been mashed up that could make an interesting book

easy, stormlight 5

TPBM has a licence to kill

Its a long way to tipperrary

Nedwin tottered over to Clanda, profusely thanking her. "Oh thankyou thankyou thankyou i'll work to pay you back, anything.  Nedwin hoped that working with a more reputable citizen might afford him some protection from the crime syndicate that hated his guts. Some people just couldnt take a joke. 

HAHAHAHA

I have made a club so niche that nobody will ever join it. The 2nd Punic War! Carthago delenda est

"what noo, I payed, he probably got hired by one of the crime lords I insulted" Nedwin said clearly proud of himself "I wasnt actually gonna steal from anyone, I thought it would be funny to make fun of his face"

"hey hey chill" Nedwin slurred."shoot. He didnt have any money to pay the guy, and he was having a hard time accessing magic while he was so heavily inebriated.  Nedwin tripped backwards over a chair. Nedwin saw the man standing over him and reconsidered his choices. Nedwin had broken his parents trust. Interacted with shadier people than he should have, and never lifted a finger once. He whimpered as the knife flashed, and wished that he had done more with his life, maybe adventured, done some good for once.

I think that part of the message is that kelsier was sickeningly destructive. Preservation is good because his inherent intent is the protection of humanity. One thing i really like about the well of acension is that it shows the fallout of overthrowing a long established government. You are left seriously asking if that much death is worth it. Thus it makes sense that a good being who wanted to save humans would allow something like the final empire

i get that but my problem is that we Do see physical dawnshards and the stuff in secret history with the preservation connecting device. We also do sometimes see some investiture manifested physically.

Google images. You can create an image on there easily enough.

Its not that i cant find pictures to use, its that im trying to find out how to use those picttures on a card

I think our equasion for shards trying to shatter eachother is shard investiture+ 1d10+modifiers whoever gets higher wins the shardic battle. I think that there should be a 5 term period where shards are safe from this to allow them to build up power. We can randomly generate planets by making planet cards that define tha planet. 

1st phase is early post shattering

each player draws five magic cards

each player chooses a planet to invest in. You must invest in a planet. When you do so you lose 5 investiture and start a new magic system. making a planet costs 20 investiture but decreases future cards investiture cost.

The phase then ends and the main game begins

Each turn you may take 2 actions the actions are

draw 1 magic card

reveal a champion/person

play 1 card, 

affect a person

move to another planet.(if you do this it will leave some of your investiture behind

the game ends when a shard reaches 16 ;points

you earn points by completing a magic system or fullfilling your goals

P.S

Im trying to figure out a way to start making cards online that i can share here, any ideas?

I was wondering about the shardic terminology. they all have names like shards,splinters,slivers which seem to indicate some kind of gemstone would this mean adonalsium was a gemstone? Do we see shards themselves physically? Could you steal a shard from the owner like you could a physical object?

Nedwin slowly tried to stumble out of the tavern, interupting some deal or another going on in the back. He tripped over a table and planted his face on the floor. As Nedwin started to get up the guy whose table he tripped over,(equally drunk)pulled a knife on him

maybe Rysn

or syl

wait no Chiri Chiri is my cosmere crush

I think one really cool idea is shards vying for controll over a person. So something might happen like with dalinar in the books we definitly will need perpendicularities. the shard will have to have a balancing act in that they can make a hyper invested magic system but wil be left weak if another shard tries to shatter them.

So i think we should start with our 5 basics, Presrevation, Ruin, Honor,Cultivation,Odium. These are the shards we see directly in the books and thus will serve as our base shards, whith other shard rules being added later. All shards have an investiture level of 50. Of the 5 starters only ruin and presrevation together can make a planet. The most important cards are Magic system cards, Person cards, and planet cards. Magic system cards cost investiture to play, you dont lose investiture and if you discard the card you gain back investiture. Person cards help the shard do things, the strength of your magic system effects how powerfull of a person you have working with you. Person cards might be things like, Waxillium ladrien, Kelsier, Vin,The heralds, or sometimes other sorts of tools like well of acension, returned, kolloss, kandra, inquisitors. Planet cards effect the planet you are on and allows you to help develop your planet.\
