Brandon Sanderson / Tower guards?
« on: October 18, 2010, 08:21:20 PM »
It looks like the Tower Guards for the Towers of Midnight tour were notified today. Anybody from TWG get selected? I applied last year and again this year, but no dice. Oh well. I don't think I'll be applying again. Apparently I don't have what they are looking for.

Before it looks like I am having a pity party, (Okay, maybe a little one  :)) I am very excited to be at the midnight signing in Provo and I will be there very early to get a great spot in line!

Congratulations to those who were selected!

CCGs / Dominion. Which heading is correct?
« on: December 07, 2009, 03:20:47 AM »
I posted about the game Dominion under the table top heading, but then I got to thinking that Dominion is a card game, so I'm going to repost here. Mods, if the double post doesn't work, I'll let you decide which one to keep. Thanks. :)

My brother broke out Dominion over the Thanksgiving holiday. I didn't play at first because it looked too complicated. (Ha, and Magic isn't? :)) Anyway, the first time I played I loved it. It is a card game where decks are built, but all the cards are included in the main game.

At first I thought, okay, MTG with less cards, which it is. But I also love the diverse gameplay. The game has 25 'Kingdom' cards, but only ten are played in each iteration, making it hard to repeat the same game. The card interactions are fun, some of them matching the best combinations in Magic.

If anyone has some thoughts on the game, I would love to hear them.

CCGs / Brandon vs. Jason
« on: November 21, 2009, 07:08:27 AM »
Anybody else going to follow the match tomorrow? I haven't played a good match in years, let alone watched one. I wish my wife were more into it. Oh well. Go Brandon. (I like you too, Jason, but I have been a fan of Brandon longer than I've known about you.) :) :)

Brandon Sanderson / Provo Storm Leaders.
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:04:15 PM »
I noticed on Dragonmount.com that there will not be Storm Leaders for the Provo Release party. Ookla, you mentioned that Brandon still needs people to help out. Where do I submit my candidacy?

Brandon Sanderson / A Confession
« on: June 10, 2009, 04:49:11 PM »
I have a confession to make. A light hearted one to be sure. EUOL twittered that he will not sign Wheel of Time books that he did not write, which I wholeheartedly agree with. They are not his books and to paraphrase, it would be presumptuous to sign books by another author.

On to my confession. Last night after my book was signed I walked by the information desk behind the signing area. A gentleman approached the employee and the conversation went something like this:

Gentleman:(pulling out a copy of The Shadow Rising) Is this author signing tonight?

Employee: Well no, the author they have arranged to finish the series is signing tonight.

Gentleman: My son told me to get this book signed. Where do I get it signed?

Employee: The line starts over there.Points to the 'end of line' sign


At this point I probably should have jumped in and mentioned that authors usually don't like to sign books by other authors, but I didn't. So, I could have helped avoid one extracurricular signing request but I did not, and I apologize.

:) :)

P.S. Ookla, were you aware of many WoT fans trying to get Mr. Jordan's books signed? Or were they relatively few?

CCGs / I love Magic:The Gathering but...
« on: December 26, 2008, 02:46:33 AM »
I never get to play. My wife doesn't play and my playing friends are spread to the four winds. How does everyone get their fix?
