Troy Denning. So anyone who wants to read SW EU novels, here's a quick guide... Shit that's a Damn Good Novel Period: Anything by Matthew Stover. Shit that's a Damn Good SW Novel: Thrawn Trilogy and the other Thrawn Duolgy that Zahn wrote, the X-Wing series by Michael Stackpole and...

Nozdormu wouldn't be a bad card to add something like "at the end of your turn a card in your opponent's deck is destroyed". Even keeps the same 'time is running out' theme of the card over the gimmick they have now.

Love Priest for screwing around. My douche-ist play: stole Rag with a mind games early in the game, played it turn 8. They wasted all their mana killing it. Mind games it again on turn 9 and played it again. Instant concede.

http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2014...of-winter.html HarperCollins Voyager (UK publishers) say Book 6 won't be out in 2014 but 2015 is possible.

FFS this game needs a speed version.

Well, that was fitting.

Here we go FG #1.

Lower levels you pretty much start a deck with all the good neutrals (ssc, did, yeti, etc) then add 8-10 flavor cards from the class. Outside of mage, at least, which is why a lot of people play it when they start out. Some classes you really need a ton of their rares and epics for them to shine.

Well shit, Chapter 1 revolves around boat travel and a kinda-turtle, this can't be a good omen.

At least it was nice enough to buff two of your minions, I don't even get that half the time.

Who said it wasn't fun? It was fun, it was just gimped playing the same cards for every class. More cards = more toys = more fun. I don't feel ripped off, I just think they should up the gold payout so it's not such a high threshold. And I'm kind of shocked you're shocked about $100. Trust...

Yeah, I'm much more looking forward to what the game is going to be than what it is now. Different playmodes (classless? double life, double deck size? raid mode?), all the classes having secrets, all the classes having weapons, legendary spells, etc. This of course all depends on Blizzard...

They'll probably have to do like 80% of 4+5 in one season, have the finale be drogon flying off with Dany + Cersei getting arrested + Griff landing in Westeros or something like that. Then finish off the rest of it + new stuff in season 6. If they go purely chronological without Martin's...

Syndication galore, having a long time producer with another hit show on the network, CBS vs NBC, TBBT has a trio of romance plots which play well with demographics Community ignores, etc.

So many mages...

Prologue and two chapters for anyone interested:http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/01/e...er-one-and-two Bit worried about this one, Sanderson usually has a drop off from book 1 to book 2, we'll see if he breaks the trend.

I think it's a colossal failure of editing more than anything else. It needed tightened up on what was there and it needed 200 more pages to provide a climax to the Winterfell and Meereen incoming battles. There was also some serious overuse of character motifs going on.

I had 5 hexes the other day, so yeah.

Update at the Blog:

Liked the first, didn't like this one. Still looking forward to the 3-5 hour fan edits of this trilogy.

Probably a novelette. Amazon's page estimator assumes 350ish words as a page, so about 12k. Short Story = up to 7500 words. Novelette = 7500 to 17500 words. Novella = 17500 to 40000 words.

Waiting sucks but all the theory crafting and expectation is tons of fun. It also builds community in the fanbase, I had tons of fun on the old wotmania site as a teenager discovering the internet. I think what I miss most as I get older is actually that joy I had as a teenager of finding all...

Was like, Book 7? Before his fan-base really started expanding, so all the early printings were pretty small. At least we don't have to order all his books from Amazon.ca and Amazon.uk any more...

I enjoyed the first one and I'm sure I'll enjoy the second, but I also can't wait for the 4-5 hour condensed fan edits we'll be getting when this is all over.

Oh yeah. If you don't like multi-POV stuff then stay away from Malazan.

Just published "Griefing", the post-FM3 School novella a week early, since it was doing nothing but collecting dust on my hard drive. If you read only one of the shorts then read this one, A) it's the longest B) it has the most important information in it C) it's in King Henry's POV...

Loins vs Eagles is an insane blizzard right now. Edit: Fumble #1

Just remind her that they cost half of what a paperback does, so you're actually being frugal.

Rebindable jump key, please.

Such teen angst... The "problem" with the effects is it looks like a real person in a suit instead of full on CGI in some shots and then half finished CGI in other shots.

Crusader Kings 2 takes a couple blind playthroughs to "get" I'd say. The first playthrough you'll think you're doing okay and then your first king will die off and...shit hits the fan.

Not sure if the studios are very interested in books that have only sold a few thousand copies and that would make the MPAA throw down a NC-17 in the first few pages. Fun to dream though...what actors/actresses would you lot want to play the characters?

Heinrich Welf Novelette is out: http://www.amazon.com/Second-Take-Ki...dp/B00GWFHXC0/ https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/381519 Thank you everyone that is helping by beta reading it and the next one. Looks like "Griefing" will probably be coming out Dec 16th. Now I need to get back...

Own a PC, will be buying a PS4 sometime in 2014...probably around Destiny release.

Well, if you read all of Wheel of Time and liked it, why not try Sanderson's other works?

Should have been a line of red notes in SOS too.

So I was reading the Lynch thread over at Westeros and Adam Whitehead of Wertzone gave some inside info about this series I thought might interest people: AND AND

Twist Incoming: Others ain't the bad guys, R'hllor is!

From what I've heard, Erikson hit a "structural problem" while working on "THE FALL OF LIGHT" and it's likely to slip back to 2015.
