Whoever said the expanse was based on a gurps tabletop game was 100% right and I'm amazed it never occurred to me before

I finally got around to starting season 2 of the expanse; it's good but does the plot with the annoying mars marine sergeant ever stop? Christ it's bad.

That's good because her current arc of complaining about not being allowed to murder civilians to her commanding officer and beating up her subordinate for being an immigrant is getting a little stale

I loved neuromancer but I disagree that Gibson peaked there. If you haven't you should really read the Peripheral.

i won't dispute that neuromancer is certainly his most stylish book but in terms of the actual craft of his writing he is worlds better now

Really cool that you posted from 20 pages behind to blather about that stupid rear end garbage

Thranguy posted:It's all setting stuff, presented as in world scholarship,with no game rules, so vaguely in the same kind of place as Dictionary of the Khazars. Yeah, it definitely doesn't fall into the same bin as litrpg. Litrpg is novelized MMO sessions down to the xp gain being enumerated. King of Sartar, well, is definitely not that. Dictionary of the Khazars is an apt comparison.
