i want yall to just look at these pictures http://keithlynch.net/pics/The Warszawa posted:oh for some reason I thought you were saying the trend in scifi is also volume doorstoppers yeah no i meant like publishers will really want the authors to turn a single reasonably sized novel into a trilogy or more by basically stretching out the plot with meaningless details. you create a doorstopper through the multiple volumes involved because apparently nerds go crazy for serieses

The Warszawa posted:IMO start with the la quartet then do the underworld usa trilogy (in which Hughes features more prominently) will do. doesn't look like there's an audio book immediately available, but it did put a bunch of mariachi music on the screen and it reminded me that I havent listened to Mariachi El Bronx for a while so now im doing that.

I'm a gigantic autistic nerd, so naturally I DMed. My favorite campaign I put together was one in which I had my high school friends roleplay themselves in the Planescape setting. Was interesting to see what class they would choose, what faction they would join, the choices they made as "themselves". I liked my final choice where it was between finding a way home but giving up everything they had discovered and accomplished or losing potentially their only way back to Earth. More people went home than I thought they would.
