Yeah, I know you are expected to use psynergy. But I didn't, so the sequence was pretty... absurd.

Years because they 'want to do it right'? I am starting to think that hours and ours of sleeping and talking to each other is their idea of 'doing it the right way?

By the way, did you have to transfer your old characters by the awfully tedious method? I truly hated that @_@ Had to copy the code thrice, because there were symbols that seemed letters and vice-versa.

I believe they probably will... I mean, there's a lot of people out there who want a third GS game for the DS so, even if they didn't intend to do it in the first moment, they'll do it just for the money. After all, the world functions that way.

About the choices, the thing that annoyed me the most was the Colosso. I understood that psinergy shouldn't be known out of Tale, so I never used it in battles when there were people nearby. I didn't want to participate on the Colosso, but I wasn't really given any choice, so I battled without using psynergy at all. So I won and then they come and say: 'your psynergy is so cool!', and I was like- what? And then I had no choice but agreeing to help Babi and I didn't want to! Thet really pissed me off.

This is the very same man who ordered the massacre by Mormon militia of 120 non-Mormon settlers--men, women and children murdered in cold blood--on their way to California, a singular event in American history known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Honestly, couldn't you find a better example?

I don't really know the facts, but judging a religion or its teachings by the acts of a single person is... absurd. So, what if there are people that considers themselves Mormon and do bad things? Does it mean everyone will do the same? Then I will go to the prison and will look for catholic murderers, muslim murderers, budist murderers, agnostic murderers, atheist murderers... and so on, until I will be able to consider all people are murderers by the acts of a handful of people.

... I believe you get my point...

I know many Mormons. They tend to be very nice people. They also tend not to ask many questions. And that's the problem.

Honestly, I believe that you should read some of Brandon's articles. The one who talks about Dumbledore's homosexuality, for example. I believe it will give you a better understanding of Brandon's beliefs than a biased oppinion in LDS's doctrine.

a singular event in American history known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

... which was more than a century and a half ago. If we are going to see what happened in the past, then I believe we have to equally condemn Catholics and Muslims for the 'holy war'. Oh, and I have forgotten Anglicanism, add that one too, there was people killed because of being Catholic in the name of it. And... well, I'm sure we can continue, and get something bad for any religion... or politic views, for example. You have mentioned other religions, so... why exactly do you believe Mormon faith to be the most despicable one?

* What's your favorite part/most anticipated element of a Mistborn RPG? (1)
* What are some character concepts you were hoping to play/see at the table? (2)
* What parts of the game world do you most want to see done "right"? (3)
* Are there aspects of the Mistborn setting you would like explored further, beyond what the books covered? (4)
* Are there any particular elements that you have a tough time visualizing or would like to see an artistic treatment of? (5)

---------------------------

1) Uh... the fact we will all get to play it? Okay, seriously... I have to admit I'm an RPG-addict, and I believe Mistborn's world to be one of the best to hold an RPG.

2) Mistings of the allomantic metals that didn't appear in the books! That, and the fact I don't want any Mistborn as a playable character, or everyone will have Mistborn powers. Mistings are fine, though, and Terris people and hemalurgic "mistings" are, too.

3) Skaa plantations or villages. I believe thay should be a nice scenario for holding the RPG.

4) Terris people. Definitely.

5) Yes. I would like to know how exactly Atoum and Larasium are Ruin and Preservations's bodies, and whilst Preservation goes well with Larasium's effects, why Atium doesn't sound anything riuned.

Maybe he'll be interested in it a couple or two of years later.

Merry Christmas! And happy new year too! May happiness stay alwayds in your heart, and be the key of your home!

It's fascinating to see how the prophecy changed over the course of time, which I believe it might have even without Ruin's influence.  For instance, the church of the Survivor had the "Holy First Witness" (or something like that, I don't have the books in front of me), which sounds very much like "Announcer".

That's the other thing about prophecies too.  So many ways to interpret (and misinterpret) them.

Well, the Kandra had it written, so it couldn't change that much (probably not at all) since Kwaan and Alendi. But, before that, yes, I really believe they changed depending on the ones who believed in it. But again, with Ruin being before most changes, it's difficult to know which ones would have happened anyway, even if Ruin hadn't existed.
