Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn Forum RPG
« on: June 17, 2010, 10:41:26 PM »
I've done this sort of thing elsewhere and have enjoyed it a lot. I'd be willing to contribute as well.
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Quote me all you want on it.
I'm sure you'll be quoted on this, either way.
I'm counting on it.
Oh, look at that!

« on: June 14, 2010, 02:06:30 PM »QuoteI thought they were all 'in' adjectives. Final Empire he is Incalculable, HOA he is Indivisible, Warbreaker he is Insoluable, and in Elantris, WoA, and the one Alcatraz book I own, there is no adjective.
I've listed them all already, when people see 'Comatose,' do they just stop reading?
I would respond, but I saw your name and quit reading.
... I kid!

How is it that every time I think I've hit the peak of how excited I can be about Way of Kings and the Stormlight Archive, someone manages to give me some tidbit of information that pushes me further?
August 31st... you can't come soon enough!

Why is it that when I read this, I automatically wanted to nominate our resident unofficial Sanderson Encyclopedia, Miyabi?

(I think he means that the adjectives are supposed to start with "I", but I can't be sure.)
That was also the impression I got. Actually, I think Brandon mentions it in his annotation of the acknowledgments page for HoA.

If there is any chance of an Indianapolis area date, I will do my best to fill it.
Better yet, if the Indianapolis area date happens to be GenCon, I can promise it will be worth his time, haha.

Oh my. I hope things turn around for you!
And I hope you haven't just incurred the wrath of the Book Gods.

« on: May 27, 2010, 04:27:56 PM »Still, it would really help if we just knew what to look for.
I'm sure if you sent a friendly PM to someone that did know explaining just that, they would be very likely to consider it safe and let you know.
But I'm not one of them, and I don't want to speak for them. Just a thought.
