So moving back across the country soon. Don't really want to lug these signed first editions back. Did I miss the peak value yet?

Solice Kirsk posted:So does HBO have anything else at all to keep viewers once GoT ends? I don't think Westworld has the staying power to keep people invested. In fact, after that first episode, I think we may be in a True Detective type situation where they don't know what the gently caress to do so just kind of try and rehash what made the first season somewhat bearable. I remember when HBO showed movies. Of course that was back when movies were actually somewhat good.

White dragons were in the D&D white box in '74. NM, this covers it. Fabulous Knight posted:You know, apparently his publishers did at one point suggest splitting TWOW into two books, which led me to think that maybe GRRM actually has written a whole lot, enough for two books, Isn't that exactly why AFFC was only half a book? Wasn't it released that way because he had reportedly written enough for 2 books? What would lead you to believe that line again? Hasselblad fucked around with this message at 16:08 on May 24, 2018 |

Attempting once again to read Malzazan (or however the hell you spell it) first book. Jesus christ there are so many characters and I have zero idea what the plot is or who is a good guy or bad guy. It's like ASoIaF in a blender.

Solice Kirsk posted:Every card game is either a form of poker or blackjack. It just depends on if you're matching or adding. When we were kids we would gamble with our baseball cards. We'd stand behind a line and flip them toward a wall. Mind is fuzzy since it was a zillion years ago but I think the jist was that if your flipped card (or one your card moved when it landed) covered up the little logo on the one corner of the card entirely, you won all the cards beneath it. So it was as much poker/blackjack as GURM's time is spent writing.

And [x] begat [x], who begat [x], who begat..." so I promptly tucked it back into the shelf and walked away. Apparently there's a few really good stories in it (Beren and Luthien) but it's like just, oh god find a good summary of them somewhere and then fill in the gaps with your imagination because reading it is just--ugh.

nine-gear crow posted:Lady Stoneheart is ultimately irrelevant and her subplot amounts to nothing because GRRM told D&D everything about how the story ends and they felt confident enough to not even bother introducing her in the show so who cares. I am confident that the books that will never be written will pick up where he left off, and be completely different than the HBOmimation and things will be relevant again. It is precious that you believe that gurm himself knew how the story was supposed to end before HBO got it. What is more likely is they told gurm that there were simply too many character plots and things had to be cut for the small screen.

Intel&Sebastian posted:He 100% stopped whatever tiny amount of writing he was doing when HBO got far enough ahead of him. He was making comments about how he wanted to change his own poo poo so it wasn't the same as HBO and then realized that'd take him 30 years to finish so he quit and is enjoying having money. Which is the right move. I mean poo poo, at least he could pick one of his WILD CARDS authors to write it and he could dictate what happened plot/incest/rape-wise. He'd never have to punch another key in his life.

nine-gear crow posted:He's also a minor character whose reason for being is to have an epic fight with Sandor at some point before the show ends. Well it was kind of SOMETHING in the books. I disliked the character, but did not see her as just taking up space. It may very well have had a point, had the books actually continued to be written. Which IF the books are actually written, they may be vastly different than the show.
