Party Membership is a Democracy, The Weave is Not.

A fledgling vampire? How about a dragon, or some half-kobold druids? Perhaps a spontaneous sex change? Anything that can happen, will happen the results will be beyond entertaining.

This man is quite entertaining. I want him to get a million dollars. He deserves it!

There's a podcast interview with Rich Burlew

Some interesting things:
  • The Order of the Scribble - He hasn't ruled out a prequel book, but he has no plans for one. The events that caused the big rift in the Order of the Scribble will be revealed in time as part of the main comic.
  • Number of compilation books: There will be at least two more after volume 5.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It's great and I'm highly anticipating the 3rd one.

The second book isn't as good as the first, but it's till good, and goons will be goons and overstate it.

False, the "Gooniest piece of poo poo fantasy story" title is held by the Sword of Truth series for turning into unintelligible Lolbertarian claptrap halfway through an 8-book series, with second place being "The Painted Man", a worldsetting with an awesome gimmick, where the main female protagonist gets raped halfway through the novel and falls in love with the man who beats up her rapists, a TOTALLY AWESOME BALD DUDE COVERED IN TATTOOES WHO CAN FIGHT DEMONS BY PUNCHING THEIR FUKKIN FACES IN HELL YEAH

The second book was just... bland, in the Kingkiller Chronicle. Book 1 ruled, though.

You should pick up Start of Darkness, too, if you get a chance. Book's amazing. Origins can be skipped without missing much, though.

Nah, I glossed over that part. Also I think he showed up after all that was said and done, didn't he? He saved them from dying of lack of supplies/rune-incompetence or something right?

Honestly I do find the idea of a man who turns himself into a monsterslaying machine through body modification to be pretty cool though :v:

Literally kills the rape-bandits to death, then says dramatic, grimm things while the female instantly falls in love with him and the secondary main character feels impotent.

Then Kakkarot-El murders all the bad things and kicks everythings rear end and avenges his mother and is so fukkin awesome. He could even kill Wolverine.

They may have to recruit him if he somehow survives the next big encounter, since if it leaves Belkar dead (and all signs point to Belkar dying some time 'soon') the Order's going to need to bulk their numbers and there just aren't many high level adventurers around.

Nale keeps finding them of course because he's an antagonist, who can always find the fresh manpower he needs to challenge the heroes if given enough offscreen time.

They didn't when Roy croaked.

The question being of course, would they resurrect him?
