Someone with world shattering powers and the inability to carry out a normal human conversation would be pretty entertaining. The cover is the protagonist standing on a cliff's edge at dawn, dragon shirt and utilikilt fluttering in the wind...

Does anybody else feel like Rothfuss drew a little TOO heavily from LeGuin's Earthsea? I'm just getting around to reading the latter, and good lord...

Evfedu posted:EDIT: Wait, what, you can't come up with a parallel? In a two stories about two guys headin' off to Wizard School to become Master Namers? Yeah, I mean, brash kid, has lots of natural but kinda wild talent, heads off to a school of wizardry to learn naming, there are lots of masters and they are all known by the type of wizardry they specialize in, he has a rivalry with a snooty rich kid, etc. Although it seems that Ged is a little better at growing up after getting his comeuppances

Maybe he doesn't feel like finishing the series and is hoping for a GRRM/HBO-style ghostwriter deal.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Have there been any fictional games that haven't been terribly portrayed? Quidditch is a joke, Cyvasse is chess. The only vaguely interesting one is Iain M Banks's Damage - and as that's poker with electrocution and cyanide capsules it's probably not going to get approved by Hasbro. Although obviously rather vaguely described, I thought Azad was a neat concept too. Kind of like a super complicated RTS from before those were really a thing.

Dammit I was excited about that game too, I loved Planescape. How much of it has he mucked up? God drat does he seem to have a thing for street urchins.
