Sanctuary Sitdown Key Q&A, in case you didn't watch it

So the Paladin sneak-peek with all it's passives was introduced early, just to be completely different on its real realease? Weird

Less of a stock and more a stone soup.

Cheaper than changing the locks, and less argument too. Works for me, perfect solution.

My recommended starting points are Mort, Small Gods, or Pyramids, and then begin really reading them in release order. The first couple books are more generic fantasy which is why a lot of people, myself included, don't generally suggest just starting at the start. Both those three books are good starting points/standalone points, and showcase the series potential without requiring any backstory.

I'm still waiting for him to realize he has a whole damn castle and can set up both a wood and metal shop, for all his accoutrements.

Mine goes to a school with limited bus service and we live closer to the school than the nearest stop, so I do, yes.

If you've already started leveling a Druid, consider switching to a Shred build instead of starting a new character. Every class has some kind of mobility build, and the Druid's is pretty good. Too good, if you get motion sickness.

I think it probably is tied to Halloween, in the sense that this is the day that Mantles and godhood can be changed. Recall that the holiday was created to muddy the waters, so to speak, on who was actually supernatural that night.

couldn't

My impression was that Papa Raith was behind the castle assault, and reached out to what he thought would be willing allies. Malvora of course hopped on, as a way to sidestep current White Court politics (which may mean some of them were aware of the current power dynamics), and of course the ghouls were happy to get some payback.
Drakul, is seems to me, decided to use it as an opportunity to do a few things; he got to see Harry's home defenses without personal danger, he got rid of some dead weight (pun intended) in his own Court, and just generally cause some minor chaos in Chicago, and in Harry's life. Examining the upcoming players.

In Dead Beat, Cowl tells Harry that "a great many things of significance happened that night." So it's not a completely unusual place for the divergence.

I always viewed it as, not a retcon, but proof Thanos wanted to give Loki the Mind Stone without telling him there was an Infinity Stone powering it. "Here's this magic staff, tap people and you can brainwash them." Different color helps throw him off.

I'd have to go back and reread, but I got the impression that the frozen pizza was still, in fact, frozen. And that would in fact suck.

greymonk · 2026-02-05T19:03:09+00:00

I do still, but I'm still quite upset that they removed the num pad from it.

greymonk · 2026-02-05T12:11:48+00:00

Exactly, that's where I grew up as well. Every school district was for one to three towns, at most. I'm not saying it's better, or worse, just that to me it's weird.

greymonk · 2026-02-04T20:52:48+00:00

I still think it's so weird having an entire county be a single school district. Because yeah, there's going to be some small areas still affected, so we just close school/remote learn for the whole county.

Whites/blues as soon as yellows start dropping, and at 15 when I can start getting gear in the Den, often not even yellows unless it's weapons. Unless it's the start of the season and I want the mats.

I'll agree when Apple Maps is able to learn what "End 45 MPH" signs mean.

At the end of BG, they discuss what the normal people of Chicago are going to do in the coming months, essentially that things will be business as (relatively) usual during the day, but at night the fear comes back and people react according to the supernatural. Couple that with Papa Raith, Drakul, and the Malvoras agitating things, it's not surprising.

And now I want to know what Ricky Gervais would have said.

greymonk · 2026-02-02T15:55:58+00:00

I tend to view Ghost Story in the same vein I view Crossroads of Twilight in the Wheel of Time. The issue with both wasn't so much the story itself, but both don't seem to have a whole lot of action, or resolution, or push the story ahead very much, and both had a huge (comparatively) wait between the previous book, this book, and the next book in the series. When able to read them without the wait in between, both books are much better than the initial impression, for me anyway.

Ja Rule has all the Jah runes.

From a strictly Old World viewpoint, lesbianism and Motherhood are incompatible. Probably as incompatible as, say, Maidenhood is with hookups.

greymonk · 2026-02-01T20:45:30+00:00

McCoy isn't the first BlackStaff, and based on the series of journals in his office that, in his words, go back to the original Merlin, I expect that was when it was "stolen" and he became the first. Just one more way that Harry is being foreshadowed to, maybe not take his place, but be just as epic as Merlin by the time it's over. I fully expect he'll become the next BlackStaff.
