"My parents breathed humor and forgotten songs. I was robbed of these things before I was extraordinarily interesting." “"And he killed with an unnatural room filled with eighteen rocks and dread hundreds of sicknesses.” I said dryly. “I am not pleasant.”" "I went to bed with the Earl of Stew and let his mouth aroma into the root of my virtue." "He demonstrated to me what the difference is between amusement and judgment. They were the same." These are all amazing.

The artist for that Rick & Morty comic was at a local con. I asked him what it was like working with Patrick Rothfuss, hoping for some dirt. He said Rothfuss was great to work with and that he was a really busy guy and that obviously this was a major passion project for him since this his time was so precious. I think he picked up on the fact I wasn't going to buy anything and wasn't really interested in his answer so the conversation died off from there.

ElGroucho posted:I read that whole thing and still don't know what adventure zone is. Is it like a Chucky Cheese? It's a podcast where three brothers and their dad stumble through a lengthy D&D campaign. It's not perfect, but I was entertained (up until 'The Suffering Game' arc). It became successful enough to have a graphic novel made, retelling the mostly-improvised story from the beginning. It was cute. My friend gave me the book as a gift. I read the introduction aloud to him and told him both he and Rothfuss could go gently caress themselves.

This quote will always be the most offensive thing regarding Rothfuss. If your characters are controllable, then why the gently caress would I waste my time on them?

Pacho posted:Characters do ran away with the story, tho. To be fair, this is mostly a theater/scriptwriting thing where there's more distance between the character and the author, but the whole "get in the shoes of your characters and dare to go where they want to go, not you" is a thing I was taught in a university class by a legit playwright BananaNutkins posted:Sometimes you realize, after developing a character over many chapters, that they would never make the choices that your outline requires. That's pretty normal unless you're a robot or Brandon Sanderson. It just means you have to stop and rework the outline to find a way for it to be consistent with the character growth you couldnt forsee. Good writers do a little bit of improv while writing to keep things fresh, so everything doesnt seem like its coming off a teleprompter. There's nothing weird or special about this concept. This is more the attitude I came in with. If twee bad writers need to reel that poo poo in well then there you go. But I'd think good writing requires an element of discovery even for the author. PJOmega posted:Hope there is more to this story, cuz otherwise it serves only to make you look like an rear end. He laughed and said 'gently caress you too'.

Of course Rothfuss would be the type that'd turn up his nose at 4th Edition.

Considering that this thread will be starved for content until the heat-death of the universe, someone should do a Let's Read of that comic.

In RP1, everyone fixates on a dead man's favourite passions in the hopes they'll get rich and escape poverty. Meanwhile culture has stagnated for decades; no one makes new art because everyone is so focused on 80s trivia, and not because they like it, not because they understand it, but because it is the only thing worth money. It is so close to being a damning criticism of nostalgia. The movie should have been directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Yeah. Neil Gaiman is a hack.

Sorry man, that episode was just awful in an otherwise mediocre series - and came across just as self-congratulatory as Rothfuss and Whedon etc out to prove who the REAL feminist was. The more Neil Gaiman I consume the more I'm convinced Coraline was thanks to everyone else on that film.
