That’s a real shame…. if i had disposable income i’d throw a chunk of it at him to give him some free time to write, but that’s really not in the cards at this point, maybe a gofundme or patreon? 😉
Tizzy please tell me we will be getting a new Astlan book this year at least? i need my fix man.
Here’s some more music, eZah – The Lords of Plasticine sounds like a sick entrance song. The second two by Meshuggah i think have a more dark, unlife vibe to them, or chaos, one or the other.

Hey TAG, was just perusing the forum and had a thought, so there’s the site here, the amazon page, and a Facebook page. However i’ve noticed many authors i’ve been watching starting up Discord servers for Fan discussions and an easy platform to throw down status updates and book releases and such.
Would you be interested in doing such a thing?

That’s Fair, was just thinking since lots of people are hopping on the discord bandwagon it would mean you could just link to it and the website and not have to worry to much about peripherals. I’ve found that if people really want to know more about authors and books they like they’ll search for the easier place, and discord has a very smooth ease of use.
I’m having issues seeing how The Nascent series by tony corden got the overwhelmingly positive views it has. The books are a compendium of ridiculously over the top Mary Sue back patting nonsense bonanza, and the amount of Contrived situations borders, and then jumps the border like a Vin Diesel mexican drug cartel drug running movie, into complete insanity, and oh my god the loot lists. The loot screens were the worst.
For the first two books, the main character is so perfect that she’s definitely a Mary Sue. She gets everything she wants almost immediately. She becomes insanely rich, super powerful in her chosen virtual reality game, and is able to tactically and psychologically assess any situation out of nowhere. She instantly, in her first fight, learns how to use the game mechanics to her advantage but somehow literally no one else has ever done this same thing even with years spent in game. Throughout this series, the main character constantly knows what to say or do to resolve a situation easily. It doesn’t matter if she has to literally change her entire character, she just suddenly does it. She constantly out-thinks experienced tacticians and fighters, schools people in everything they should already know, and wins fights that she shouldn’t be able to win, no matter how tactically-minded she is. The main character also gets everything she wants on her own schedule, rather than anything else. Case in point: the MC attends a college and she gets to take her classes on her schedule. Sure, the classes are run by advanced artificial intelligence programs, but that doesn’t mean anything worthwhile. the humans running the college classes would get to decide the schedule and she’d have to work around that if this was real life, even with AI running them. But in this universe she does whatever she wants whenever she wants, no matter what.
i could go on, but i wont. But i could.
I might be interested in that, although i’ve never used Patreon before, does Abyssia have A demon equivalent?
Nice. Still very impatient for the books and going through my Emergency Rations of bacon at an alarming rate in order to compensate.
[quote=Rakshasa;7312][quote=EyeDeKay;6547][quote=Dirk Flamberge;6544]I kind of lost interest while reading Name of the wind, and for tolkien the movies were enough for me.[/quote]
Why’d you lose interest?
Books are much better. Movie leave out a lot like always. *shudders* Except the eagles.
[/quote]Pff, in the case of the LotR series that things were left out of the movies was actually a good thing. Seriously, I have no idea why Tolkien gets so much acclaim. His books were long-winded, excessive, and boring. I am a voracious reader, and rarely do I stop reading books that are even halfway decent (for instance, I actually read every book in the Wheel of Time series once despite how bad they got between 6-10). But I never was able to get past the what 30 pages whining about misplacing the Ent-wives from Treebeard…. seriously I get it, you lost them. It didn’t need to be that drawn out.[/quote]
Not sure how you managed to get yourself to read through the totality of WoT, i think i only made it to 3 or 4 and had to give up because of all the whining and the useless male characters.
