Try to avoid the First and Second Chrons forum for now, unless you don't mind spoilers.

Hi all,

Post by mariaelisakevin »

Uh, well, I, Huh?

I really don't know what to say. I am very new to this forum stuff. Well, to be honest I was a member of a forum several years ago but it has been so long that I had forgotten how to post. It took me several minutes to find out how. (I hope I am posting.)

I mainly wanted to find an answer to a question and eventually found this forum. I will read a few posts and find out how this is done.

Oh, my question. This may have been asked many times before (like I said - I am new).

I have all of the books that are presently out in the third/final chronicles in hardback. It is my habit to always put my hardbacks on a special shelf, get the paperback, and read the paperback so that I will keep the hardback in "like new" condition. I built shelves in my library/study that are of the correct size for mass market paperbacks. I have ordered the first two books in the third/final chronicles in paperback but they came in a rather large size and do not fit on my shelves.

Does anyone know if there are plans to release these books in mass market paperbacks? Or if the mass market paperbacks are already out where can I find them? They are certainly not at Amazon.com.

If you read my rather wordy post - thank you. Please let me know something. This is rather important to me.

I do not know that answer to your question, but I am sure someone will hop in to answer it eventually.

In the meantime, explore the Watch, jump in, take part.
There is a lot here that goes beyond the reach of the chrons.

I'm not sure what the standard size for mass market paperbacks is, but my copy of RotE is a compact little paperback. I've seen FR on bookshelves in the same size.

Welcome new ones :)
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Hello, all!

Post by Lafftur »

Glad I found this forum! I read all of these books as they came out (well, ok, still haven't read FR, but I'm catching up).

I sought you out because I'm now old and having eye trouble so I am listening to them all on audiobooks. It's nice to see all the great discussions here!

Welcome Lafftur, I too, have been listening to the audiobooks, because of lack of time (and eyesight, heh). No Second Chronicles on CD by Scott Bryce, so it's been forever since I "read" those. I've heard the Tapes of Second Chronicles are not worth the effort, do you have them, and do you have a different opion?

Welcome, be sure to read the books and join in as well...but, true, the Pantheon's become it's own entity and, probably, deserves to be transferred to it's very own website--I don't play, but I can see it's incredibly professionally well done (the grammar patrol will puke on that one :mrgreen:) 8)

We should start a forum, accessible only to 50 and over where we watch Gran Torino all the time and make fun of all the "Watch-persnappers", yes _____ your attitude qualifies you :biggrin:

Greetings, Watchers!

Avatar need have no worries about me. I am no RPG-er. My taste in role-playing is rather different than the games I have seen in the forum for such here. Maybe more on that in time, but not now...

I know the Chronicles fairly well, the Gap maybe a touch better, and have read Mordant, the Man Who mysteries and the shorts. Yes, a full-spectrum SRD fan.

I've lurked a while...but it is time to step from the shadows and participate at least a little. There are some really interesting people on this site...as would be expected considering the author who drew us here.
Focus on where you are going and why.
Never lose awareness of how far down "down" is...but don't obsess about it.

Hi Icarus Unfallen! Cool username. This site is certainly full of interesting people, including one who is somewhat in defiance of the rules when it comes to posting intoxicated. But hey, many interesting things would never have happened without rebellion, am I right?
