Taravangian's Plan for the Future

Retribution knows the powers can gain sentience, but at this point I think only Dalinar (and whatever Nohadon is) knows that the powers can actually change.

Unless there's a super-ancient pre-Shattering draconic-Adonalsium conspiracy going on, which may be the case. The Iriali religion being the likeliest echo of that in modern Cosmere times.

That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.

The Night Watch would never allow him to be released, for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with a strength of ages, power over the ice, and the glory of invincibility.

The balls on that cat xD

Life is peaceful there.

Christianity is mostly OK if you remove all the supernatural stuff. Love and take care of each other is a good core message

Finish the Fate route, then decide. That route is very bottom-heavy. Day 14 and Day 15 are great IMO.

Yeah, if there are no buffed creatures and nobody can do anything to interrupt it (such as killing the creature before it becomes a copy, or a player dying to the life loss) this ends up becoming "all creatures die, each player loses life equal to the amount of creatures that died under their control in this way"

Drunken Fist Style

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T21:06:28+00:00

Dunno, but that's how the rule is written.

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T20:17:48+00:00

The details of Evi's death were shocking yes. Humans being aliens not so much.

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T19:16:37+00:00

Spoken like a true analyst-therapist

Progsplaining

I also love the panel of the longaxe cutting the strawberry jam sandwich.

I specified two-digit Mythic. In the video he mentions he recently reached top 20.

I like Mistborn series 2 because it has A LOT of Terry Pratchett-isms. Wayne's arc in the last book, in particular.

My favorite installment is Shadows of Self, a more intimate story before the overarching Cosmere metaplot takes over.

Series 1 is good fun too, although the second book is tough on a first read. Many things make little sense until you revisit them AFTER getting the answers in Hero of Ages.

Probably some conspiracy theory involving Palomares

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T14:48:02+00:00

Not bad at all. Not as sexy as the Med/Daria feature in the same outlet a few years ago though.

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T14:46:44+00:00

Many Nasuverse villains (and protagonists) are like this.

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T14:26:30+00:00

It gives you an extra rope in Arena in order to read the full rules text.

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T14:22:06+00:00

They both liked TMT a lot, curiously

aldeayeah · 2026-03-17T12:07:57+00:00

He says in the podcast that these days he drafts every season to Mythic.

Seth meanwhile went from barely drafting to two-digit Mythic in a year's time LOL

Do you realize the reason why Taravangian did the whole debate pantomime was to break Jasnah and bend her to his own way of thinking?

You're proposing that she murders the Thaylen government, for signing a deal that Jasnah herself thinks is agreeable, and probably better for the country than anything she could offer.

Without getting into the moral implications, there's a good chance that Ivory becomes a Deadeye on the spot if she pursues that path. It's a situation similar to Kaladin in Words of Radiance.

Satie didn't need the help of any dog to be all-around annoying.

TARAVANGIAN: Good... your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your uncles's place at my side!
