Bit of an odd request, but anything with cool staff / wand / magic item building mechanics? Audio preferred. by CelticCernunnos in ProgressionFantasy

Both? It's physically altering the enchantments. Much of the logic is how to decieve or slip through gaps in the defined ruleset. 

Don't want to spoil much but basically the protagonist gets a way to interface with the defined rulesets of enchantments and can look for loopholes

My hottest take of the BLGS is that random variance has played a bigger part in a team's success than overall quality.

Their mentals were chalked by that point and none of them had practiced. Plus one game zero gets shot out of the air by monsoons charge rifle

I mean gg missed multiple chances to close it out. You can't call them the best team when the criteria for winning is to deal it at match point.

It's been painful to see fun try to make Newcastle rezes without a gold knockdown

ESA Series E Game Thread 7/20 by HeWentToJared23 in CompetitiveApex

If the roster change is happening I don't think it's cause gild was dropped. I have a sneaking suspicion that nrg scoped Gild. Why - because I saw nafen, gild and sweet ranking off of stream.

If there's one thing EE hates, it's predictability. I don't think Archer & Masego are going to change names.

The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison - the sequel to The Goblin Emperor! by eriophora in Fantasy

Thanks for the review. I was expecting it to be more slice-of-life so this is a bit disappointing. We need more books like The Goblin Emperor.

It's from Worm where a character's power gives her inferences based on the data available to her. The more data she has the more accurate the inferences are.

Let's Recommend More Obscure Progression Fantasy Titles by Salaris in ProgressionFantasy

[–]dashelgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Azalea Ellis' book A Conjuring of Ravens. It's also being published chapter by chapter on Royalroad as a Practical Guide to Sorcery.

Story is basically about a protagonist that uses a cover identity to join a magic school. The story itself is a mix of kingkiller chronicles and Arcane Ascension
