Wow, that's terrible. Jenn, glad both you and Bloodguard Bob are ok. I didn't read all of the other (How do you feel) thread, but it sounded like it was just property damage for your neighbors as well, correct? Not that property damage is anything to make light of, but it could have been worse. Glad...

I've got a couple of questions that I wanted to toss out there and see what you all thought. First - Roger and the Croyel's ability to time travel. Where does this come from? It certainly made sense as part of the TC masquerade, but Roger doesn't have access to white gold, and I got the impression t...

Ok, going with the general consensus here... no spoiler tags. I loved this book! I thought the entire thing was outstanding, and, just on a first read basis, I'm inclined to agree with SRD that this was one of his better books. I really liked Roger's reveal, and I don't just mean under Skywier. I th...

Yup, saw the end, and the reunion. I was happy with the way that the show itself ended, but the reunion just seemed... i dunno.... odd. It sort of seemed like there was a lot that we were missing with the interaction between Brett and Jess. What did you think?

Frazzeled and conflicted. Work has been absolutely kicking my butt over the past several days, and today shows every sign of continuing that trend. So that's causing no small amount of stress. Of course, some of it is self-induced, becuase later this week I'll be leaving on vacation. :biggrin: My wi...

a-Jeroth, I certainly see what you're saying with respect to the 1st Chrons. But, the second are a little different. If I remember right, according to what SRD said in the GI, (sorry, don't have the link :oops: )the 2nd chron would have been 4 volumes as well, and it was a publishing decision to mak...

Thanks Jenn. :) I agree, the unfolding loyalties that we start to see here are very well done. I also really like the way we are starting to get the impression that Havelock isn't just "crazy". His comments are not directly related to the discussions going on, but are, in a way, commentari...

Sorta seems like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has become the "Popular Music Hall of Fame". And sure, Madonna and Donna Summers belong in the Popular Music Hall of Fame, but rock and roll, they ain't. Though I'd disagree, I could see the arguement for Beastie Boys. I mean, at least there ...

Chapter 6 Havelock and Terisa journey down a long passage, and he again stresses the importance of hop-board. They finally arrive at a chamber and Havelock promptly ignores Terisa and sits at a hop-board game. Also in the chamber is Master Quillon who, apparently at Havelock’s request, begins to tel...

Here goes- :) Chapter 5 When Joyse reacts to Terisa by picking up his checkers, she becomes very concerned that she may have gone too far by speaking out, and suffers another crisis of confidence. Joyse then becomes pleasant, but formal, with her and arranges for her to have a maid. While awaiting t...

I never liked the Sweet covers either. Some were ok, but none of them ever really grabbed me, and One Tree and White Gold Wielder I actively dislike.
