    Naming Your Weapons

    How about Smackey?

    Naming Your Weapons

    Or Jessie, Zaeed's former assault rifle in Mass Effect. Also, weapons having personalities are all well and good until they get to be like Robot Santa Claus from Futurama and judge everybody naughty so the hack, slash, shoot, perforate, immolate, or other wise ruin the day/month/year/eternity of...

    Wheel of Time Series

    This statement wins the forum. Forever!

    Naming Your Weapons

    Three words: Bianca the Crossbow. If you can't name your weapon who has killed millions (by Varric's estimate anyway) of baddies, you don't deserve a name yourself!

    Is the Sword of Shannara worth reading?

    I mean "interested enough to have kept me reading for the last decade or so." I read First King almost exactly ten years ago, and I'm still eating his Shannara novels up like candy. Anxiously awaiting Bearers of the Black Staff Book 2.

    Is the Sword of Shannara worth reading?

    Yeah, after I posted that I thought of, like 12 series, but for obvious reasons I couldn't retract my statement. This is the Internet for cat's sake! But I stand by my statement that Shannara gets better after Sword.

    Is the Sword of Shannara worth reading?

    You show me a fantasy novel/series that doesn't follow that basic formula, and I'll show you hateful lies!

    Swearing in a Fantasy Setting

    Read David Gemmell's Druss The Legend books for a crash course on fantasy swearing. It basically boils down to (Diety of evil)'s (naughty bit) i.e. "Shemak's balls!" "Asta's tits" and I'm sure there are others.

    Is the Sword of Shannara worth reading?

    I'm going to attempt to bring balance to this thread. I like Terry Brooks for the Shannara series. Yes, Sword is a shameless ripoff of LOtR, but he explicitly states that in the Foreword, IIRC. It's not news. It's what he does after that makes the series great. I especially like the Armageddon's...

    Dragon Age 2

    This nearly killed the entire game for me. Also, the Monstrous Spiders were unreasonable, I thought. I had enough trouble getting through Origin's Giant Spiders, and they do THAT to me? C'mon! Jerks. Luckily, I had the PC version, so I had them turned into Mabari!

    Recovering Lawyer

    Fun Fact: This is exactly how Terry Brooks started. True story. You're off to a great start!

    Reporting for duty.

    I thought the jester joke was hilarious! And I never smile! Or tell the truth for that matter. Everything I say is a lie. Except that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. ...And that.

    New In Forum, Not To Fantasy

    I've been writing fantasy stories off and on for the last decade or so. Recently, though, I haven't gotten the same feelings about my writing. I seem to have lost my muse, and I was hoping that being around a group of like-minded people would reawaken it. My stories tend to revolve around...
