No sense in not spelling out to the audience what is happening in the show!
-
So, Severian is injured again, and things happen to him, will he nil he. Seems like that's been his condition for most of this book.
-
@RichardAbbott - I realize that Wolfe meant it to be chaotic. The fighting units were what made no sense to me. They looked like they came out of a pre-game set up session using random tables of people, mounts, weapons, and accoutrements. I had no …

My thoughts? It was weird-ass for the sake of being weird-ass. It made no sense whatever.

First section I have unreservedly enjoyed. Nice time ideas. @Richard Abbot gives a solid explanation!
-
Excellent! Thank you!
-
Well then welcome back! :D
-
Awesome, Wild Card! Welcome to the club!
-
(Quote) Sure! Of course you can! Have fun with it! :D
-
"Is there any Hero's Journey stuff going on in this book?" That was another book altogether, @Apocryphal! :D
-
I hope your partner recovers soon as well! Never a good situation!

It's more commonly found in the Italian: 'Lazaretto', from Lazarus, the man who Jesus brought back from death

Thanks, @Apocryphal! The inherent rhythm in the lyrics forced my hand. :D
-
@WildCard - here it is: Not my style, but it's not bad. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rG3HZCL8QDqM7wjK5nTTNgNeAoUHIwBT I would have worked it a lot more if I were going to release it. The lyrics have a lot of syllables, and I messed up a coupl…

“Ask not the elves for advice, because they will tell you both 'yes' and 'no'.” So you are an elf! :D
-
That narrows things down! :D

My vote is This Is How You Lose A Time War. :D
-
Why yes, I am insane! :D

Here is what I was working on, BTW - My sixth album, Sextillius, released Friday: https://clashbowley.bandcamp.com/album/sextillius - don't worry, you can listen without paying! :D Also a board game - The Great Game, released Thursday: https://www.…

From the WolfeWiki: "A prophecy tells of a messiah-figure, the New Sun, who will bring a new sun to Urth and restore the vitality of Urth and of the human race. This figure was prophesied by another mysterious messiah, the Conciliator, who live…

What this book is all about. The New Sun.
-
I really really really don't care for prophecies in fiction. Dune handled it well, and... and... I got nothin'!

The problem is GMs who need to have everything laid out for them and don't understand the value of creativity plus a little work. Ringworld is a brilliant RPG, and if GM's don't know what to do with it, it's their own damn fault. I own it AND the Co…

I have read all these except World of Tiers, which is why I didn't mention it in StarCluster 4 - Sabre & World. Farmer pissed me off too. When he was good, he was generally very good, but when he was bad I wanted to punch him. I think the Planet…

That would be true! I'll see what I can do!
-
Oh! I must've overshot! D'oh!
-
Harold Lamb ROCKS!
-
@NeilNjae - He already gave them the Claw with his other stuff, and they cleaned it all and gave it back.
-
Well, @Apocryphal IS epic...
-
Nothing much - an RPG, a board game, yet another album. The creation process is fun!
