General Discussion

Ask the Chosen - Why the 3rd Age is better So, what do you all think of the ‘modern world?’ Stuff like TV, cars, etc. I understand that the Age of Legends was even more advanced but my curiousity has the better of me since there are plenty of differences. Sincerely, That one girl not stupid enough to reveal her name so you can [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=158

See it. It's fresh, unique and exciting. You rarely can guess what will happen next. And before you complain about the camera work (like you somehow don't get that's one of the main "bits" about the movie), let's see YOU keep a camera steady running for your life constantly.

So, what's up with Dragonmount. I'm posting once, and then my browser freezes up. It's only at Dragonmount too. Sometimes it doesnt even let me post, I'll try to enter a thread, and bam, I go to the limbo between thread and index. All of the other sites that I post on are working fine... Sooo.... Whats up with DM.

WT DIV- Staff positions, IC and OOC open Greetings, As many of you know, some things have changed at the WT on the Division side in the last week and sadly we lost our beloved DL Andrea and most of our staff. In her place a new DL was brought forth. Jaydena has been moved from Assistant DL to DL. However, we are now [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=157

I know this may not seem an appropriate thread for a forum discussing The Wheel of Time, but it was The Wheel of Time series that first got me back into reading fantasy series. I had read The Lord Of The Rings when I was in elementary school, but from then on I read primarily single volume fiction novels. Then I got the Eye of the World, to read in the car on a long trip, and since then my taste has centered almost exclusively on fantasy and science fiction. So I'd like to discuss some of the books that I have read and liked - and that you have read and liked - because Eye of the World inspired us to read more in this vein of writing. My current favorite is by Ge…

Since the death of Robert Jordan, I, and several other administrators from the Veiled Truth RP site and the former City of Light RP site, have been working on a revolutionary new kind of Role Play site called the Towers in order to help keep his world, which has influenced so many of us, vibrant and full of life. It will feature all the normal aspects of Role Play with a twist and some new things that have never before been used on a WoT RP site. It will be true to the books, but verges off from them a bit after saidin is cleansed. It will be based around the Ajah's and the Shari's, our Black Tower version of the Ajahs, but will have the added element of the Shadow S…

I'm new to the forum and podcast so please bear with me. i'm sure this has been discussed quite a bit and have read a little. Since there has been no action on the movie front and it seems the rights will revert back to RJ, i was curious about how everyone felt about the best avenue to put RJ's wonderful books into a visual medium. Without question the money and technology available to motion picture companies would provide the best opportunity to translate the books with the quality they deserve, but would the sheer size of the series be a detriment? Would a studio be able to do the story justice? Or would a TV serial eg. lost, heroes, battlestar galactica be …

I'm looking for a good sci-fi book/series. But I'm not really in to the space ship, "galaxy far far away" thing. So I'm asking if any one knows of a book (or books) thats more like Dark Angel (TV series)or Heroes (also a TV show)in it's settings and sci-fi elements. Thanks

I found this blog on the net from an American soldier who was killed in Iraq recently. It is his last post to be posted in the event of his death. It really moved me and if you are interested, I think it would move you as well. http://andrewolmsted.com/ War is hell...

[rant] So, I don't post on the general board often but this one gets me so worked up I have to start the "Ban G.I. Joe" movement. My childhood has been defiled by way to many old cartoons and t.v. shows made into movies and now we're taking the real american hero to the big screen and guess what... he's not even a real american hero anymore! That's right kids, G.I. Joe will be a covert global team based in Brussels. And if you're looking for Duke to be heading up the Joes... forget it. Instead we got that clown who single handedly killed the first D&D movie by making it into a utter joke: Wayans (sp?) playing Ripcord as the team leader. Ripc…

Ask the Chosen: Big City versus Country Livin’ Dear Chosen, I was recently accepted to my first choice graduate school program in Genetics…I *heart* Aginor. But when I visited to see the campus and city, it was crowded, smoggy and generally dismal. Should this country girl haul her life to the big dirty city to fulfill dreams of resurrecting the draghkar in this world? Or accept a less [...] http://www.dragonmount.com/OurCommunity/?p=155

Ask the Chosen - Rumour Monger Dear Chosen, What would be the best way to stop rumours? To ignore them, or to try and convince people they’re not true? From, A dedicated fan, Jelly.

Ask the Chosen: Jerks at Work There’s this customer that keeps coming into the store I work at and giving whomever deals with him that day a really hard time for no other reason that just because he can.

I love the series. You all and Robert Jordon have done wonderful job creating and crafting something that pulls your mind and body in. It is fantisy and yet Robert Jordon makes it real.

Hey guys, Long time lurk, first time poster. Thought I would let people know since this is up their alley and mine as well. I need to be more active and I will be. Since this community loves Robert Jordan, the Wheel of Time and the world that has been created. I wanted to let you know about Mirrors of the Wheel MUD. This is a mud (multi user dungeon) that I stumbled across that just totally captured the Wheel of Time atmosphere that Jordan described in the books. When I am there, I feel like I am part of the land that Rand, Mat and Perrin are part of. And I also wanted to let you know because there are a lot of people in this community that enjoy roleplaying i…
