Hey Look, T-Shirts!

7/27/2017

For real this time, I've now got a store page on my website! Check it out!

Many of you may remember a few months ago, when I offered T-shirts for sale the first time. Well, when I got mine, I didn't like it (the symbol on the front was too grainy and washed-out for my tastes), so we shopped around until we found one that I liked.

I like these, so now you can buy one! Cradle shirts are up now, and I just got the early drafts of the first Traveler's Gate and Elder Empire designs!

Will, I hate you. Why are you talking about T-shirts when all we care about are release dates?

Good question, Chorus of Voices In My Head! I can't promise much, but I can promise you this: if I don't have another book out by August 21st, there will be a total eclipse of the sun.

-Will

So, I'm trying to distract my mind from Will's work, as the pain of waiting for the next installment almost keeps me from living my life. So I've tried to forget about Will altogether.

Everyone, lets ban together and read OTHER books, at least until will releases the next book and we all become rabid fanboys again!

I'm currently ready "Dungeon Born (The divine dungeon)" which is basically a LitRPG but from the perspective of the dungeon adventures loot for riches! It is pretty awesome.

For more sci fi lovers, I recommend "We are Legion (We are Bob)" which is a book about a software engineer who arranged to be frozen on death. After his death, he wakes up 100 years in the future to be installed as an AI on a space probe to colonize space for the USA which has become a Theocracy. After successfully building a settlement in a near by system, he then has to first multiply, develop technologies, then save the human race from themselves and an advanced alien species!

Everyone, do what you can to stop the pain! There are other books out there! Whats that? You said something about Skysworn spoilers!? WHERE ARE THEY!!!! [unintelligible animal noises, one of which sounds suspiciously like a raccoon?]

I also enjoyed dungeon born, but there were some pretty big weaknesses. I think you could tell the author is an engineer; great, creative approach to item/world creation, but some absolutely cringe-worthy prose and expository dialogue.

Will link

Yeah, there were enough flaws that I didn't officially recommend it on my site or anything. But I thought the concept was really cool, and you can clearly tell the author had fun with it. Which I appreciate. It helps me not take the story so seriously.

You know, I feel like Lindon wouldn't find Cradle to be his favorite series. He'd probably be reminded of all his unpleasant memories.

He would enjoy Traveler's Gate the most, I think...not for the story, but for the existence of Valinhall, which he would see as easy, guaranteed progression.

I have to agree. So much of the good writing gets swallowed up in pointless romance. Certain characters are so we'll written and doing awesome stuff and then BAM! Romance. I'm not against romance in a story. My problem is that it really stole the show from all the other stuff going on imo.

Will link
7/28/2017 12:38:01 pm

That was my problem, really. It's almost treated as though the characters' personal relationships have equal weight with a crumbling kingdom and a competition of assassins.

Romance can really enhance a story, but once it IS the story, I lose interest.

Just a small add on to my previous comment, I found what Will himself said on the subject:

"If I keep working on it (skysworn) over the next couple of weeks and I find that I don't have most of Skysworn done already, then I'm writing Of Kings and Killers next.

Whether Skysworn is coming out soon(™) or not, I'm aiming for an Elder Empire release around Christmas / New Year's."

Yeah, that's a lack of clarity on my part. I have them use VDD, and then I skip five minutes. I meant to imply that Orthos and Lindon cleaned up the Remnants during that time, but I didn't explicitly state it, so it's unclear.

Basically, I just skipped the scene of them dealing with the Remnants for dramatic effect.

The other Raccoon Families have brought up a good point about Gokren, the Sandviper TrueGold. Does BlackFlame hold the power to incinerate not only the human, but their remnant at the same time? Or was it just because Orthos is a walking trash compactor and ate Gokren and his remnant?

Reply

No, I just skipped the scene with Orthos and Lindon dealing with the Remnants. The technique didn't destroy the Remnants; I just looked back over the scene, and they kill the guys and then the text skips ahead five minutes.

I had intended to imply that Lindon and Orthos spent five minutes cleaning up the Remnants, but I didn't state that. It's an oversight on my part. I should have said something specifically.

Main reason is I feel it's more tasteful without the writing. It's the difference between a nice graphic shirt that maybe prompts a conversation about its significance and a shirt that someone sees and goes 'oh, a piece of media'.

Plus I think it just looks ugly.

He was born in a labyrinth. There is a labyrinth below sacred valley. In books like this, there is generally a connection. Correct me if I am wrong about any of this.

Wait, it wouldn't be THAT easy. Orthos said that there is no such thing as pure vital aura, so you would have to have a pure madra core if you want to process a large amount, and eat a bunch of money... that could be used to increase your advancement with a "real" path.

Will link
8/3/2017 01:44:16 pm

Eithan's scales would be too powerful for Lindon. He would get more out of a Lowgold scale than an Underlord scale, simply because he can only process so much. And scales are only useful for advancement up to a point; you couldn't get to Truegold by swallowing scales alone. Your spirit wouldn't be able to control your power, and you'd be injured.

That said, yes, Eithan could exchange his scales for scales of lesser value AND use them to accelerate Lindon's training in the Path of Twin Stars.

Which might very well happen in Skysworn. WHO KNOWS?

Your question is a bit ambigous. Do u mean Light madra? If so it would make it harder to use a ruler teqnique i guess.

Well an eclipse causes light but it's "dark light". So would there be a different kind of viral aura?

Um I'm not an expert on all science things , nor Wills books, but by definition dark light sounds wrong. There are shadows which are caused by obstructions to actual light. The light sort of has to do detour to get to these areas thus are still visible but less so than anything under direct light. Shadow / darkness madra might be a thing though, so if thats what ur asking then sure an eclipse would create shadow aura ( if it exists), but so would say a building, a car, or anything that obstructs light.

Sorry, that was misleading. What you said correctly describes it. However, you can still damage your eyes by looking at the sun during an eclipse because of the ultraviolet rays.It looks dark, but it is not truly dark. I thought it would be cool if Will made solar Madra, only able to be cycled during eclipses and around spatial objects.

Whoa whoa whoa, who brought science into this?

Eclipse madra sounds cool. An eclipse could be something like the time when light aura and shadow aura balance out, so it's the best time to cycle a light/shadow Path. That would be neat.

Hmmm perhaps since there is so much shadow madra also, that could be a spectacular time to cycle if you are on a shadow path... eh I think it would be cool to have a short story about somebody who uses solar madra, and can only get it from spatial objects, meteors, eclipse like events, full moons, etc.

Will just went and looked at the updated merch. The plain black graphics look very nice!
