HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES

Nedwin Tanner called for another mug of ale. Just one more, why not. It wasnt like he had enough money to go where he was supposed to. Broke, Nedwin had left home with twice as much money as he should have needed and still reached the city with only enough money to buy some ale. Sure Nedwin could work, but that was for normal people. Nedwin wasnt normal. His magical talent was incredible(in his own humble opinion) he just never had felt like using it before. Nedwin shook his head, trying to clean his vision. The other patrons looked at nedwin disdainfully. And the barmaid scoffed when he asked for more ale. Nedwin sar back and continued to stew in self pity

Oh my goodness! This is amazing! I might know what ill be doing this halloween

im aware that i am late(my computer broke. But i would love to join a bit late if you will have me!

Anybody have any ideas for a vin/crew meeting song, remember the songs dont have to be parodies, or even writter, we just need a style and a music genre. Heck you could make up a completely different song.

So it's Hamilton with magic

and its being preformed in the 2nd era. And is more historically accurate than hamilton

Is your name based off of the historical figure Olga of Kiev

Before I explain the premise, yes, i know about the cosmere the musical thread and or other threads in similar strands. I believe that I am adding something new to the conversation with this topic.

So picture yourself as being involved in the creation of a musical A Hero For All Ages Part I  They advertived it in the broadsheets but I figured It would be more fun to start with book one. So out goal is to make some songs and think up props,  for a Musical/oppereta based on The Final Empire, that is being preformed in mistborn era 2. This means we cant make the survivor look too bad (would get the survivorists mad at us)or use props they wouldnt have with that tech level. If you dont want to make up a whole song. Then just give the name and musical style

The curtain opens. The stage is lit up. The light shines on all the skaa plantation slaves working in the field(kinda reminiscent of Look Down from Le Mis) the tune im using is 15 Tons. 

Oathbringer. thaylen field is epic

The Kholin family has almost grown to contain every single POV... Adolin, Dalinar, Navani, and Renarin obviously, but Shallan married Adolin, Brandon says Kaladin is related to Aesudan, and now Wit. Now we just have to find out that Rlain is related to Venli and Eshonai, then marry Renarin. Then we'll have to change the name of the series to the Kholin Archive.

UNITE THEM   How do we get Lift into the kholin family tho

Writing this broke me...

I present, with tears on my cheeks, You Were My Sunshine. Good luck. Also it's in a minor key.

(Although the "dear" doesn't fit as well as I'd like it to, for Tien.)

  Hide contents

The other day, dear
I found you lifeless
I held you right there in my arms
And right from that day

I just felt broken

So I hang my head and I cry

 

You were my sunshine
My only sunshine
You made me happy
When skies were gray
You never knew, dear
How much I loved you
Oh, my sunshine was taken away

 

You always loved me
And made me happy
And nothing else could come between
But then you fell dear, and left me weeping
And have shattered all of my dreams

 

You were my sunshine
My only sunshine
You made me happy
When skies were gray
You never knew, dear
How much I loved you
Oh, my sunshine was taken away

I'm so sorry...

Im not crying, its those dang invisible onion chopping ninjas. Thats it.Shut up. Im not crying

I was thinking about how to do that. I also was thinking about how to incoporate the fact that shards can make planets. 

Any ideas? @Shining Silhouette

So as of now for the gameplay we have this. The game starts after the shattering. Each person takes a card that states what shard they have. There wont usually be 16 players but i think you would need at least 3 player. Each player rolls a die to see how well their vessel fits the shards intent.(in the real cosmere Ati and Ruins intents dont align well so this would affect the efficiency of the shard) This isnt really important it just lets you have your turn order. This starts the Beggining Phase. Going in order of whover rolled dice highest to lowest. The Begining Phase has turns in which each player does one action. I will come up with how to use those actions soon

@Shining Silhouette

Hi! I enjoy, and over the past few years have gotten decent at art. I am mostly self taught. And most of that teaching has come in the form of classroom doodles. I had a fantastic drawing of the main mistborn characters but I lost it in some schoolwork folder. Might post it if I find it. I can do pencil and paper drawings OK though most of my skill lies in drawing maps. Dragons are a specialty though as they have always been a passion of mine. (I loved stories about knights and dragons as a little kid, and always wanted to draw them. I will take requests though I wouldnt count on skill. If you need a map of a world that you have come up with, or just a generic fantasy map then im your guy. I have always looked up to the styles of N.C Wyeth and Howard Pyle. (the kind of woodcarved printings that you find in old books about knights). Below is a grainy photo of a sketch i did of Kaladn and Shallan in the chasms, kaladin is the one fighting the chasmfeind while shallan watches) I will ink it over soon

There are definitely a lot of cool ideas for this. Here some musings (feel free to comment, @HOID WANTS INSTANT NOODLES)

• At the beginning of the game, players are assigned a Shardic Intent card
• Players then choose a planet (maybe on a randomly generated board) and create a magic system using restrictions/ideas given on the card; as game progresses, players have the ability to upgrade/modify their planet
• Each Intent has different special abilities and strategies; perhaps Ruin has a knack for destruction, Cultivation has easy upgrades for planet, Honor can collaborate with other players, Preservation has great defense ect.
• As players grow in strength, (by drawing cards that improve magic like special cognitive shadow agents and other allies) they have the ability to attack another planet
• After a player is defeated, their Shardic intent is given to the player that defeated them. This player now has twice as much power, but also twice as much restrictions and has less actions per turn as they have to balance multiple intents
• Hoid (kind of like the robber in Settlers of Catan) can be drawn as a wild card to wreak havoc on another player's planet
• End of game occurs either after all players but one are defeated or after a Shardic endgame goal is achieved (each Shard has different goal; Cultivation to upgrade as much as possible, Preservation to acquire every magic system, Invention to use Investiture to complete a series of objectives ect.)

Thoughts?

So lets lay out the intent cards and their abilities 

• Honor= bound to promises they make other players(the other players are only held by shardic oaths) so if honor says i will help you with this, he has to do it. Honor starts the game with a super invested magic system and gets points by restricing the magic system so he can get his investiture back
• Preservation = chooses a planet and gets points by ensuring it develops as much as possible. Preservation cannot attack planets, only defend. He can also give away a large chunk of investiture to help his planet devolop faster(I get this wasnt how the well of asencion worked out but it works better as a mecanic here
• Ruin = gets points through destroying planets. Can help development but gets no points for it.
• Odium = gets huge point boost for shattering shards, can corrupt other players cards to evil(like with surgebinding) I have less odium ideas
• Dominion = gets points for the reach of his peoples empire. So once they conquer the planet its how many planets his empire inhabits
• Devotion = pick another shard. You now are Devoted to that shard. You are on a team and have the same win condition. 
• Cultivation = upgrade the magic of the planet as much as possible. no abilty to discard.(they have to cultivate)
• Ambition = IDK
• Autonomy = make lots of avatars, cannot cooperate with other players
  IDK for the other shards. Hoid gets to steal magic

So. I was talking with @Shining Silhouette on another topic. I thought I should dedicate a page to it

Board game idea: I like the idea of games with changing rules. A card game with worldhoppers and the ability to play a card and instantly change worlds/environments/magic systems seems awesome. Different investiture symbiotic stuff might be cool to implement

 

 

Okay so imagine a game where you are shards trying to make magic systems. You want to have restrictions or you give away to much of yourself but you also want it to be powerful. You get a card at the start with your intent and try to make magic that fulfills that. I find it so cool to imagine every player leaving yolen, choosing a planet, changing it, ect. You could porbably draw cards like(genetic inheritance, Spren bond, Cognative shadows) If you took up 2 shards you would get more powerful but have twice as many intents. Hoid would  be a wild card thing(like the robber in catan) who messes things up

Wouldn't mind being part of the white clocks post last battle. 

Even before, I get that they are bad guys, but their asthetic is sick. 

I know. Like who went "oh i guess this meat fell from the sky I guess ill taste it) Like WHY!

Brandon has said he is considering making a girl who looked up board book

We are probably working with a limit of 20 or so pages of board. I dont think this exists currenty on the market, but we might be able to help get a layout that you could submit to somewhere that prints customizable board books

Ohh no. Heck no. It isnt that I dont think the premice of a silmarilian tv show is bad. It's just so hypocrytical to have amazon do it. Amazon's problem seems to be that it thinks that by making it's movies more progressive it can make up for it's nasty workplace. 

On some of the previous issues, I am fine with a black character. I am fine with adressing racism. I am not fine with taking a white character and making their whole plotline become black them dealing with racism. Having a new black character deal with it is fine. But taking a charachter and changing them isnt. For once, just once I want a movie where a character is black and the movie doesnt adress it. Like casting a main character a black but rather than going"hey look how progressive we are" just not talking about it and letting them play the role. 

Wait the whole thing?

Perception

When an insects merry dance

Becomes the fae folks revel

And when a distant thunder's rumble

seems a dragons roar

When a tired bycicle

becomes a mighty griffon

Then a nearby fallen branch 

 appears a mighty sword

When the closet dark at night 

can hide unspoken horrors.

And when a barking neighborhood dog

becomes a foul beast

Then the world seems full 

of wonder behind every corner

And who'se to say a childs

exited stories arent the truth

The basis for this was that I was a very immaginative little kid. I was recently told that when I first saw a mall I thought it was a castle

Maybe you could do something where somebody wakes up from a cryosleep and finds the world diferent in that nobody shows emotion. He is confused and seeks answers and eventually learns that earth was conquered by another species and the emotionless beings that he had took for humans, had actually killed all the humans exept him.
