Welcome!! I hope you like it here.
I was about to point you to Aulrick's work, but I see you've already found it! I love the Discussion Halls, it seems like there's a place for every topic.I am delighted to see all the new interest in things because of the show. Speaking of that and of gaming, I wonder if we'll see an official update to the RPG as a result! I've already had a player or two ask me about maybe running something in Randland (we usually do Forgotten Realms, which has been my favorite setting for many years), and although I have the old 3.x era book, most of my players are either ex-2e players who jumped straight to 5e or native 5e players, and I've long since forgotten most of what I ever knew about 3.x.
Welcome to Tar Valon Viktara!! It’s great to have you here. I really loved reading your Introduction, it was a lot of fun. I, unfortunately, wasn’t yet alive for those AOL chat rooms. They sound awesome!! We have some similar shenanigans that happen every now and then.
Have you read anything by Brandon Sanderson? If you haven’t, I can’t recommend him enough.
I’d recommend Mistborn, as it’s not as intense as his Magnum Opus, Stormlight Archive, and it introduces a lot of the main ideas of his Cosmere/larger universe. The cool thing about his fantasy works is that they are all connected in some form or fashion. If you don’t want to invest in a trilogy, I recommend Warbreaker, which is a standalone.So many folks from Texas!
What I remember of them was a lot of fun. I seem to remember a lot of snorting and giggling over whether Bela was the Creator, the Dark One, or what, as well as lots of silly songs and jokes. That said, I am super happy to have found this community! I look forward to getting to know folks and having a great time.
I haven't yet read anything by Sanderson, but he's been recommended to me before. Aside from his work on WoT, do you have any favorite works you'd suggest for a newcomer to his stuff?
even reading The Great Hunt in a single Saturday

welcome and hello from another Central Texan!
the other day i was just thinking I should read Feist because I never have…
I love Sanderson but it’s funny because despite so many people I know thinking Mistborn is amazing, it’s the one thing of his I’m not really a fan of. but the good thing about Sanderson is that he has a wide range of books and even if you don’t like one series you might love another.
and this is not my normal avatar. just in case you were wondering, lol.
Yo, what the heck.
Seriously, welcome to the site!
Thank you! And may I just say, Siusane Sedai, that although I have no idea what's going on in your avatar, I think it's glorious?
I hope your next day will be better, and that you are enjoying your re-read (was so heartwarming to read about you and your spouse connecting over the re-read in the mornings). I am a new reader (soon finished book four), and also like Perrin’s wolf connection. After watching the show, I also grew a soft spot for Moiraine, but my all time favorite so far is still Loial.Many thanks once again for all the warm welcomes. Today was a bit rough, and seeing your messages made me smile.
Welcome, there are a number of us in Central Texas. We've been talking about having a "local" event for sometime. Texas Ren Faire is always a possibility, assuming Covid ever allows it.
