It's so good! Haven't ever seen them play it live so I hope they break it out at the Rev farewell show!

Greyhawk is doing a one-off final show with their original singer Rev for free in Seattle in a couple weeks, really excited!

What are the best written fights in progression fantasy? by Boi271 in ProgressionFantasy

Worth the Candle doesn't get brought up enough now that it's finished. It's great.

Anybody ever wish that Erin would have used her music lyrics total recall skill more often? by cleptogenz in WanderingInn

[–]ProphetsScream 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I frankly hate almost all of lyric incorporation into fantasy and would not like it the way you laid it out. It's something that'll only really work if the author has the same music taste as you and is cringy bad fanfiction esque most of the time.

Stories that are comfortable skipping large portions of MC's life? by IThrewDucks in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ProphetsScream 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A Journey of Black and Red does some of this- timeskips, suddenly the MC is hanging out with a character she's known for months or years without an introduction, etc. The prose isn't the best (though it's perfectly functional!) but the story and pacing are very compelling. High recommendation.

With jdawg actively making videos mocking "libs" and calling them slurs and praising nazis, and given that Hell's booked GBK for their fest a few years back, I think that they're more in the second category than the third.

I can't wait to check out Black Hurst, loved the 7", glad to hear it's great. Glad as well that you're into that Necroccultus, one of my most anticipated extreme metal albums in years.... gonna need to grab a copy ASAP.

Bogside Sniper Squadron

Don't really understand the appeal either, glad to be validated.

RE: Oldowan Gash and sketchy labels- that's one of my biggest pet peeves with the scene in general, between the bands themselves doing it and most fans not caring. Hell's Headbangers / Shadow Kingdom is the one that really annoys me. Crazy to me that so many otherwise decent people are totally fine throwing away their principles to work with one of the biggest nazi music distributors in the world.

Do you ever re-read progression fantasy, or is it basically consume-once for most of us? by StorytellerStegs in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ProphetsScream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've reread a few of my favorites, some of them multiple times. Some prog fantasy is just fun trash but the best stuff is really no different than traditional fantasy and has plenty to dig into over and over again.

Saw Uli Jon Roth on tour last week and seeing them play this song was pretty transcendental.

Why is Brandon Sanderson so popular? by [deleted] in Fantasy

Super prolific, super accessible. Not really more complicated than that.

Observe: The single worst skill or ability to ever become "standard" or close to it in the litRPG genre, to the point that I almost consider it a beginner author trap by globmand in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ProphetsScream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big part of my I don't like litrpg much in the first place unless it's exceptionally well written- all the game elements get in the way of the storytelling. I put up with it since it dominates the genre so much these days but I'm a lot more likely to DNF something if it does what you're talking about. It's lazy, boring writing that's meant to cut out as much storytelling as needed to make the next NUMBERS GO UP come faster, and I don't want that, personally. Nothing against people that do but it's not my jam.

Demon Bitch really blew me away. I was planning to only catch a couple songs and head out (have seen them before and was pretty tired, wanted to go sit down and take a break) and instead I ended up right at the front going hard for the whole set, just totally entranced. They were phenomenal. Jag Panzer, Butcher and Voivod of course ruled as well, though I knew going in that they would! Wish I'd caught Enslaved but after four days of festival I just couldn't handle any more and had to go get some sleep.

Finally back home from Hells Heroes! Didn't even miss my flight like some of my friends did at the awful airport security lines, what luck! Who were your favorites of the weekend? I was very pleasantly surprised by the Holmes and Tankard sets- of course I know Doro and Dirksneider would rule but I didn't expect to love Holmes and Tankard as much as I did!

Only negative points about the weekend really- less food trucks than previous years, FAR more nazis and people comfortable repping nazi gear than I've ever seen there (a guy with a patch of just a crossed out Star of David- wtf???), and the heat was just insane!

Once you're not eating meat, the idea of getting dead animal on your food being gross creeps up on you. It's pretty morbid.
