I feel as if I may have conjured a demon. Better secure your treasure, and watch out with characters who's name starts with a K.

RE: How Many Old Timers Are Still Around?
Ooooh, I'll bug Sabaron and his wife (WIFE!) right now. We're going to throw down with a game of Talisman, anyway. I'll bug his evil brother Illuminaughty when I see him.

RE: Alayen Anxiously Anticipates Research on the Nevali swords
Alayen continues his research into the Bedine tongue by writing of his trials and tribulations in a journal, and translating it to Bedine as he learns (assuming a dictionary of some sort is available).

RE: Alayen Anxiously Anticipates Research on the Nevali swords
After another incident with the swords, Alayen narrows down his research to the Bedine language and mythos. He's willing to spend coin to make coin as it were at the Wild Goose with the Bedine mystic and her cohorts, both to learn more about the blades, and to pick up the Bedine tongue. Stilus Vinco agreed to help Alayen in his research in his spare time.

Alayen Anxiously Anticipates Research on the Nevali swords
_In possession of the blue, red, white Nevali swords, Alayen attempts to research them to prove or disprove Jasper's theories on their shared destiny, use, or simply to come up with a really cool name for them. His reading skills are a little rustic, and he's obviously nervous about being seen, but he seems actually happy to be spending time reading, a joy unmatched except when he is in the heat and battle and barbarian rage, laying about with two swords and reckless abandon.
((Barbarian, 12 intelligence, 5+ bonus in Lore (trained) if it matters. Wasn't sure if it was CoA that had the rule that stated Barbarians are illiterate by default))_

RE: Your Favourite Fantasy Books
I suppose it makes a certain sort of sense the players I liked shared my taste in literature. I tend to avoid a lot of the big series, but I did oft rave about
-
The Black Company Series. Never seen an epic gritty dark fantasy series survive long enough to see the characters dying off of old age when there was still work to be done. Just starting in on his sci fi now.
-
The Baroque Cycle. Reminds me the world is still a story worthy place, even if the characters never actually existed. (Thank you Strawman!)
-
Amber Series. Convoluted plotting and Shakespearian inspiration without being trite?
-
Lord of Light. By the same guy as Amber, philosophical sci fi about gods. Hinduism is that much more exciting under the guise of sometimes evil technology.
-
To Reign In Hell. Moloch recommended it years ago for obvious reasons. It was inspired by Lord of Light, always a good conversation starter.
-
The First Law series. Fantasy littered with counter examples to tropes. Second series was completely worth reading for the sell out mercenary with some depth.
-
The Lies of Locke Lamora. Smart fantasy thieves with lots of background and grand schemes that made me jealous.
