The Black Tower

Hi! How are you? Enjoying the season? Let us know that you are here and please give me a suggestion for a good book to read. I recommend Unfettered 3, since there is a WoT short story in it. (It´s a chapter that never made it into AMoL.) There are also a lot of other short stories that I haven´t read yet, among them one of Jason Denzel.

Let´s play a simple game - hangman. Let´s pick some WoT related words. Points for participation and for guessing the right word. I´ll begin. _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _

Hi everyone! It seems like the BT has taken a nap lately but lets try to wake everyone up! I have really missed you all!!! Here are some suggestions for threads that you might want to post in: July Roll Call Hangman BT TV show discussion Points to whoever gets a new thread to 100 posts without posting two times in a row! The roll call points has sadly not been counted for a long time. I updated the points thread today but I´m not sure when the points page will be updated. Soon I hope, but I was one of those who broke the site when I tried to update it so... we´ll see. I´m afraid that new members haven´…

Who is here? Stop in and let us know you're in the Black Tower. So, what's the weather like for where you are? For me, in southwestern Ohio, rain. We've had storms the last few days.

A New Year is upon us. Do you have a goal? Something that you are aiming to achieve? Personally, I am planning to go to JordanCon. Not Sure how I'm going to do it, but planning to save money, make an outfit, and determine how I'm getting there and back. What is something you are planning to do this year?

December is upon us. The year is wrapping up. So, with the holiday season there are often many treats to look forward to. Do you have a favorite holiday treat?

Here we are with a new month, and in my country, we celebrate a holiday of gratitude this month, whereas our good neighbors celebrated the same holiday last month. Since thanksgiving is a hot topic on my continent this time of year, I thought a good question might be, "What are you thankful for?" Right now, I am most thankful for my health.

Sorry it's late, but wanted to get a roll call up for the Black Tower. Who is here? Got any plans for May?

I'm going to be helpful this month and do it for ya'll. Obviously post in here for the monthly points and answer the questions that follow in a humorous or realistic way. 1. What is your name? 2. What is your favorite color? and 3. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

The shortest month of the year is here. Let us know you are here. With all the crazy weather going on, what's it like where you are? For me, it's raining and was in the 60s here, but tomorrow's high is to be 23 (F degrees).

It's a new month! You know the drill... 5 points for signing in, 5 points for answering the question.... if the temptation to spam this thread is more than you can bear, feel free to start a new topic to discuss in detail This month.... The Wheel of Time TV show has gotten an official greenlight from Amazon. (And there was much rejoicing.) What scene or moment (try not to get ULTRA SPOILERY for those who have not read through to the end, if you will) are you most looking forward to seeing on the screen? Yeah, I know it's hard to pick. I'm going to go with "I didn't come here to win. I came here to kill …

Let us know that you're here. As to a question: what game have you not played in ages, but would like to play again? I have not played pick up sticks in a long while. Thinking I might pull them out the next time my son mentions being bored.

It's that time again! 5 points for signing in, and 5 points for answering this month's question... What are you reading? Right now I'm re-reading A Crown of Swords, because I need to get through a full WoT reread before JordanCon 2019!

A new month, a new roll call. 5 points for signing in, another 5 points for answering the question. What's your favorite food? Mine is spaghetti.

Hope it's ok for me to set this up. So, glad DM is back, and that we can hang out in the Black Tower. Let us know you are here. And as for a question, what is your favorite summer pastime?

What is the last movie that you watched? 5 points for signing in, 5 for answering. Bonus question (no points involved): What do you think is the difference between signing in and answering and in which case you are doing only one? The last movie that I watched was La La Land yesterday because I was passing by my friend's room and another friend was explaining how well shot that movie is.

I posted this on my WoT Tumblr blog recently: So, I've been wondering: The Asha'man's coats were made of black wool. And at the genesis of the Black Tower, at least, the weather was sweltering-hot due to the Great Lord's influence on the world. It was my understanding that the Asha'man/Aes Sedai skill of not letting the temperature affect you did not make your body impervious to the effects of said temperature. We saw this at the beginning of Lord Of Chaos, when Demandred had to remember to cover up against the chill, despite not being bothered by it. Or, as mentioned explicitly in pp. 348-349 of TPoD: "....refusing to let heat or cold touch you did not make t…

And.... it's working.

So I posted a while back that I was going to try to make a bookshelf with WoT stuff on it with a shelf I bought, but that went preeeeetty bad. Luckily my wife is awesome and had this custom made for me for Christmas:

I have way too many books.

Welcome to another elimination game. This time we´ll see what the Black Tower´s favourite TV comedy is. I have picked 20 comedies from different lists and suggestions from BT members. I´ve not seen the majority of them but I hear they are funny... This is how to play. When it´s your turn you can "heal" a comedy and "hurt" another one. Like this: Heal Friends, hurt The Office Friends 6 + The Office 4 - Rules: 1. Every comedy starts with 5 HP (healing points). 2. You can only vote once every 5 attack posts (4 between your first and last) OR once every hour. 3. A comedy …

There will probably be SPOILERS for all MCU movies up until now!!! Edit: There will also be spoilers for Infinity war later in this thread. Okay. I guess I´m not the only one that is looking forward to Infinity War. Right?! It´s only 16 days until the premier so I thought we could make some predictions and if they come true we can get some fresh BT points. There are already several trailers so you can´t predict things that we already know. For example, who do you think will die? And who will get resurrected? (With the help of the time stone or something else.) Who will have the most screen time? Will Hawkeye, A…

Since I haven't talked to many people recently.

I'm TOTALLY paying attention. Yep. We have a new victim recruit, y'all! AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH NEW RECRUITS? ... .. .. ........ Yeah. We feed them brownies. Don't mind the dark bits. That's just a little extra taintiness. Helps you enjoy the madness more. Oh! We also ask new recruits a lot of really random questions, apropos of nothing. So.. tell us about you! How did you run across DM? When did you first realize that the voices in your head were actually real? …

Hi everyone! Sorry for not being here much lately. RL is ... you know. Would anyone like me to host some kind of game? Maybe another Elimination game? If so, what theme? Or maybe just a simple hangman game? Guess the shadow? I figured we should do something fun together.* * While I´m trying to find my shadowie friends and get them to execute my evil plans.

I have a song stuck in my head. Actually, I have a very small section of a song stuck in my head, and it's beginning to annoy me. Over the weekend, I was goofing around on YouTube, and ended up watching a couple of "best of" compilations full of short clips of performances from the TV show Glee. Yes, on purpose. However, despite having heard several other songs since then, today at work I have a 10 second segment of Sia's "Chandelier" on endless repeat in my brain and I need to get it unstuck. 10 points from my June pool to anyone who posts lyrics or a video from a song that will successfully replace this song …

Have some tainted brownies as a welcome back present.

I wanted to share this all with you because I am so proud of myself! I've wanted to make an Asha'man coat forever, and I finally decided to make one for this year's JordanCon. It turned out better than I expected (I'm only an intermediate sewer, and though the pattern said "easy" it wasn't that easy....)

I just can't stop reading anymore...
