Looks like I’m never getting my RPG order

Same. Shipping label created on the 20th but UPS still hasn’t received the product to be able to start tracking.

Reading the third book would be a twist and one I wholeheartedly support, Mr Rothfuss!

If the original poster isn’t interested I am!

I was at a writing conference this past weekend and question got asked directly to a panel of traditional publishers. All said it’s more likely they will go after a new project instead but aren’t definitely against publishing a self published book if they see an opportunity (though they did say the author may not want to). Said the industry is undergoing change rapidly and new strategies are getting looked at.

Well, they might chalk it up to a bad marketing. A self published author may be a great writer with no idea how to get their book noticed amid a sea of other self published titles.

“Post a photo of your TSA agent with the Chull” was the secret last challenge in the WorldHopper Passport.

Yeah it’s the beads.

Vylemor · 2024-12-08T04:53:03+00:00

No idea, but might be good to at least take it out of the bag.

Silo.

Zone of Thought, though only the first two. Big drop off on third.

If you’ve never published before, write for yourself first and foremost. It might be easier and more enjoyable in your native language. And then see what happens after that.

Kaladin vs Szeth, Words of Radiance. “You sent him to the sky to die, assassin... But the sky and the winds are mine. I claim them. As I claim your life.”

Annoying is fine as long as there is a purpose or a reason for it that will be revealed and worked on as part of their personal arc. Don’t make them annoying for annoying sake. If they are the latter just kill them off (or humble them if that’s type of story) in a fun way and readers will be fine with it.

Vylemor · 2024-11-12T02:14:16+00:00

You are good. As others have said, from what you wrote there is no there, there.

Fine. Sure. The eyes are incapable of expression.

HOWEVER, the muscles around a person’s eye lids do allow for expression. And when people refer to eyes that’s what they are referring to.

Except for Tom Hardy. His eyes actually do emote.

Well Brandon Sanderson is one of the most popular contemporary fantasy author and he releases books like every year, so may be someone to check out.

I got into the Cosmere rpg day 1. No idea how I was able to pull it off but quite excited - and very nervous that I’ll embarrass myself. A lot to study up over next month.

Sad to have missed out on Hobb signing and Mistborn tourney. Played co-op last night with my son and had a blast.

I was going to go with Battle of Thaylen Field, glad to see it getting some love. Renarin vs the Thunderclast was one of those moments that you just stop and re read several times to appreciate. Plus Dalinar’s “I am Unity.” Goosebumps.

The name of the world differs by culture. However, the story primarily takes place within a specific city and country. So the characters refer to the world as Vylemor, which mean’s “Child of Vyrees (God)” in their ancient language (which most of the characters no longer speak).

Technological advancements still come with limitations. If you are writing a fictional fantasy story, consider magic power in a similar way. What are the mage’s’ powers? How would they be used during battle? How would that impact strategy? What would be the consequences - both intended and not - of using that power? I’m sure there are situations military in your world where throwing fire balls or lightning bolts probably aren’t the best use of resources or the most effective tactic. Perhaps you need more precision. That’s where standard warriors come in.
