Count me in!

These are spoiler free! They only contain content from previous books - more to help you remember things from previous books or re-reads. So you won't have words that haven't been defined in the books yet in your Fictionary.

Yeah - thats me! I thought I read the licensing on Coppermind.net as CC-BY-SA but I was wrong so they asked me to take them down and I did. I am not selling them anymore anyway and have been talking with 17thShard's owners about putting them back up but haven't been able to get a regular dialogue going - not sure if he is super busy or what but response are spread out over weeks. Hopefully we can resolve it soon. I get a lot of requests and the Coppermind Fictionaries are the BEST ones - mainly because this site is so good.

I am re-reading Warbreaker and I just can't get over how amazingly well this world would work for a video game! The vibrancy, or lack, of color could look amazing and be used to create a very neat world. The Breath based magic system is already inherently level based with the heightenings. I picture a world that becomes more diverse and colorful as one gains more Breaths. This could aid in locating hidden doors or detecting items/traps etc.. Also as one gains more Breaths things like lifesense and increased health come into play. To counter it you have Lifeless and Drabs that can not be detected so your enemies can be balanced naturally to your current status. Couple this with Awakening abilities as you learn more commands and gain more Breaths and this could be an awesome game. It would be awesome if all objects in game could be awakened and a limited number of Commands made available. You give up Breaths in order to animate objects which translates into trading internal abilities for an external benefit. If you can get the Breaths back great if not you are stuck at your new Breath level till you can get more. Buy breaths, convince others to give you breaths etc.. and you level up. This world to me was MADE to be a video game. You have to conform other books, even Mistborn, into a video game scenarios with leveling and balancing but they always seem artifically restricted in order to create a working /sequential gameplay. Nalthis and Awakening....it is organic.

Last update before Words of Radiance release is up in the wiki! http://coppermind.net/wiki/Kindle_Dictionary Contains spoilers only for pre-released content!

Hey everyone! Been hanging around the edges of the community for a little while. I recently made the Kindle Dictionary of all of Coppermind. Thought I'd take a minute to say hey and thanks for the warm reception already received!

New dictionary up. MUCH BETTER. All articles that are not Categories, still in user sections, Books , or Our of Universe now included. ALL redirects mapped including ones that go to subsections of a document. Quote support put in. Formatting WAY better - full table support and bullets. Thanks to Joe ST for pointing me toward the Wiki API. That coupled with support for exporting allowed me to get all articles in a better format. Check out the new dictionary here: http://coppermind.net/wiki/Kindle_Dictionary

I can post an epub version of the dictionary on the wiki page if there is a demand for it, but it will only be readable not used for lookup - if anyone knows the format for making an epub work as a lookup dictionary for a Nook let me know. I will have a new version up on the Kindle_Dictionary page soon. It is much more extensive.

It has its own page and I am working on a second one that incorporates tables better, quotes and more redirects. Should be up in a day or so. http://www.coppermind.net/wiki/Kindle_Dictionary

I will look into the API. Thanks! I will keep from updating it too much. Did you guys notice any impact to your bandwidth earlier? Also I think I am done with my page for the most part, how does it become an "official thing"? I discussed this with Chaos before creating the page.

At the front page of the book I do all the required License statments required by Wikimedia and the Creative Commons license and give ALL of you credit . And I didn't do this by hand, I wrote a program for it. Took a few weeks but now all I have to do is provide it with the list of article names and go watch TV while it crawls the site..

I have created a Kindle dictionary from almost all the content of the Coppermind.net wiki. It is completely free to use. All terms, places, and characters have entries from all of Brandon's books. If multiple terms and names in a phrase match on any of the terms (example: Dalinar Kholin, will match on Dalinar OR Kholin) For terms that have multiple possible matches (ex. Kholin) It will have ALL possible entries listed in order from most content to least (Sadeas entry will have Torol Sadeas first and his wife second because the page for Toral is longer) Let me know what you guys think! Feedback is encouraged! There is a spoiler warning when provided by the creator of the content. I just made this therefore this copy would be spoiler free for Words of Radiance AFTER the sample chapters, and PERFECT for re-reads THIS COPY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR ALL BOOKS PUBLISHED TO DATE AND THE SAMPLE CHAPTERS OF WORDS OF RADIANCE. IT IS NOT UPDATED DYNAMICALLY SO IT WILL NOT GET NEW INFO UNTIL I PUT UP A DIFFERENT ONE WITH DIFFERENT LINK New permanent home on the wiki! http://www.coppermind.net/wiki/Kindle_Dictionary
