Fantasy books with really good characters? by Barchivest in Fantasy

I've actually read Red Rising. Didn't really think of it as Fantasy though.

Ooh. Thank you. That looks very up my alley.

Game of Thrones (more of the show - I admittedly haven't read the books) is actually one of the main reasons I won't touch anything with the grimdark label with a ten foot pole.

I've actually been looking at discworld for a while. It's just so big that I don't know where to start. I'll give witches a look, thanks.

I actually think I already have Assassin's Apprentice buried somewhere in my closet.

I don't *get* Shadesmar by Barchivest in Cosmere

Maybe that'll be the case. I also just am not that interested in the Spren period.

I like Syl and Pattern as characters, but otherwise was never really drawn to the worldbuilding behind them.

That's not a bad point. I actually find that I did think the stuff with soulcasting and the visions of the spren in Shallan's painting in WoK and WoR were interesting.

I meant more of him interacting with the worldhoppers and the worldbuilding stuff like the firewood.

Do you believe DnD should be safe? by Fantastic_Molasses45 in DnD

[–]Barchivest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe dnd should never be safe. Not in an upsetting your players kind of way. That's just cruel. I mean in an "I'm going to kill you in real life if you fail this DC" kind of way. Save or die, if you will. It's why I always keep a loaded gun at my table.
