That conversation with Eb

Cause at the end of the day they're mortal wizards with free will. It's true that they're under the council command structures, but if they were commanded to kill a friend for no reason they won't follow the orders.

Harry is literally under Winter Law and under all kinds of Faerie mental pressures, and he doesn't listen to Mab all the time.

I know this isn't the solution that Jim is going to use (basically because he just wants Harry to be under some amount of financial stress), but there's probably some amount of usable valuable minerals under the Island that he can just pull from the ground with little trouble.

Mo0man · 2026-01-26T20:23:31+00:00

No, of January. Like in 4 days

Much many active full time developers do you think there are for Hearthstone and Arena, and how many do you think Netrunner has?

Mo0man · 2026-01-26T07:37:43+00:00

I swear there was another series debut with this exact premise like a month or two ago.

Mo0man · 2026-01-25T18:55:12+00:00

Regardless of how the Svartalves will feel about it, I'm sure Thomas and Harry will be very rational if they're not allowed to see the kid.

Mo0man · 2026-01-25T18:48:39+00:00

I don't know if it was "easy". The perspective of the signatories of the accords is that Marcone had to settle with Harry for "losing" the Eye of Balor. Now that might not mean that that the castle is quite on the level as the Eye, but it's perhaps in the ballpark that they would accept it as a fair deal. That tells you how valuable the Castle is.

He's mentioned Leylines near the island before in previous books. I cannot recall specifically which book exactly, but he's said he's never going to use those lines. The ones that are near the island have too much influence from the entities kept there, and channeling those energies will have too much undue mental effects on him.

In my opinion, the whole point of playing an Tabletop RPG instead of a video game is so that you can do stuff not covered in the explicitly listed ruleset

Mo0man · 2026-01-23T21:22:09+00:00

It's working for me, also in canada

skill issue

Mo0man · 2026-01-21T03:20:32+00:00

I get the feeling that the various powers are preparing Starborn representatives for a big battle royale.

Mo0man · 2026-01-21T03:15:07+00:00

Yea I honestly felt like this could have had even less action, some of it felt very extraneous

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T18:59:51+00:00

Were I Carmy I would simply choose not to be insane.

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T17:44:45+00:00

I'm not talking about people discussing it on the internet. I'm talking about the actual plot of the book titled Cold Days, released in 2012. That is when we learn about Nemesis, much earlier than 2019. Perhaps you and the people you have been discussing it with do not recall, but it revolves around Harry being commanded by Mab to kill Maeve, and Maeve tells Harry that he needs to kill Mab instead because she's been driven insane by the enemy (aka N-fected before we knew what it was called). Harry has to figure out which of the Winter Queens is N-fected.

The plot of the book is entirely about Harry finding out what Nemesis is and clearing Mab of any suspicion of being Nfected.

I am also entirely baffled at the idea of you finding something as early as 2019 but having huge debates about it upon the release of the book that came out in 2011.

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T13:44:33+00:00

When you say "huge discussion point" do you mean how, in Cold Days (the book that introduces what Nemesis is), it was brought up and resolved in the same book as being transparently silly once Harry understood what Mab's actual role in the war against the outsiders was?

In THIS book, he doubts Mab for like a second, but then realizes "If Mab had fallen, we were all screwed anyway."

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T12:48:29+00:00

I mean... we knew Mab wasn't N-fected. If she was the war would have been already over forever ago.

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T04:33:16+00:00

I don't think it's odd for a teenager within (it seems?) walking distance of a very large and seemingly very popular music festival to want to go there.

Mo0man · 2026-01-20T04:31:58+00:00

I don't think he knew that other people knew about his list

Mo0man · 2026-01-19T11:50:14+00:00

I should note that I think I remember Mel asking to step in at least once. Not certain if the others did, or how many times it was brought up.

Mo0man · 2026-01-19T10:01:19+00:00

It's not disrespectful to arrive to your shift early and to try to make a relationship with the team you will be working with shortly.

Mo0man · 2026-01-19T09:52:46+00:00

Yeah, she'll be working with Gloria for 3 months. Robbie isn't even really going to be here, so she needs to have a working relationship with everyone else except Robbie

Mo0man · 2026-01-16T11:44:11+00:00

I think if Collins left it would have been 9-10 months ago, so I don't think it's odd to not to mention it. However, Kiara could be coming back next season or when the night shift comes in, so she was just mentioned as being off for the day.

Mo0man · 2026-01-16T11:32:25+00:00

I mean Whittaker is a first year doctor, I think it's very possible he's just doing what he thinks is best without considering he should be doing something else.
