I watched the season 1 premiere when it came out, wasn't really hooked and didn't go back. I just watched the first four episodes of season 3, and I'll stick with it now. But I am not a fan of the ultra-gritty, I'd prefer if they dispensed with all the profanity, and for God's sake could they please...

Re: WandaVision
Anyone else watching this? So far, it is pretty good and is an excellent nod to all the TV nostaligia from decades past. You can name the shows each episode is mirroring: I Love Lucy, Bewitched/The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch, Full House/Growing Pains, Friends, etc. I'm really enjoying it! ...

Mordant's Need: the movie
I was going through old files on my computer, and I found something I completely forgot I'd written - the first few pages of an attempt at adapting the books into a screenplay. I actually wrote it back in 2000, and never went back to it, but in looking at it now, all modesty aside, it's not too bad,...

SRD originally intended Second Chronicles to consist of four books, but was compelled by Lester Del Rey to do another trilogy. By the time the Last Chronicles was in the works, there was no longer a Lester and so SRD got his way and we got a tetralogy. He laid out how it would have looked in the Gr...

The one part that might be impossible to capture in a non-cheesy way is the health sense, ie. the earthpower-based sixth sense of things are right or corrupt relative to their natures. Adding an aura around things would look cartoonish. But there may be creative solutions to this that I have not th...

Everyone has bad days... and I think that anyone who's made something artistic can share the balking at the idea of someone twisting and torturing it to change it into another medium that it was never designed for. (I still want to see it done, though.) As a (self-published) author myself, I can to...

I've been thinking that the One Ring roleplaying game would be perfect for a game set in the Land. It's got a great system for Journeys, which would map nicely to the Land; and it's got a mechanic for Hope and Shadow points that would translate perfectly as well. AND, they've also released a d20 edi...

Let me try to think this through. Start with who Troy is when we first meet him. I want to keep him as close as possible to what we know from the books. So - he's blind from birth, 30ish years old (same age as Covenant was; that seems logical). Works at the Pentagon in a strategic/think-tank role de...

Just to expand on my thought... Troy's blindness offers some of the same themes as Covenant's leprosy, both in their own everyday physical challenges, and in the ways that others react to them. And Troy's job in the Pentagon offers room to comment on war and the military in a more direct way (someth...

I actually think that if you started with Troy instead of Covenant, you could end up with very similar books in the end. you can explore sons of the same themes SRD pursued using blindness instead of kdp rosy. The need of the hero to deny the reality of the Land because he doesn't dare let himself h...
