But Drizzt Do'Urden must die! Fans of Wulfgar unite! Return the barbarian to his rightful place as the main character! And get rid of those blasted, pointless monologues! Free the other characters from being lil'Drizztlets! And stop the blasted greatest-sword-fighter-of-all-time crap. That is soooooooooo overdone. And stop changing the names of all the minor characters! Amen

I'm thinking the Moria Model. Abandoned dwarven homeland(under a mountain chain) taken over by an army of their greatest enemies. Place is ruled by a demonic of some sort. Heroes enter through secret door upon west, have to travel to the east. A chasm will be involved, and a battle on the bridge..... And what is the most common scifi model? Is there a common scifi model? And what other common scene models are there? And how many other authors have used the Moria Model? Mckiernan, Salvatore, who else? (Brooks, I think)

Just because I don't know where else to put this. I don't care who you are, this is funny. ***************************************************** This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband or boyfriend. 1) DANGEROUS: What's for dinner? SAFER: Can I help you with dinner? SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner? ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate. 2) DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that? SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown. SAFEST: WOW! Look at you! ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate. 3) DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about? SAFER: What …

And who do you think is the most powerful? And who is the most moving hero?

I've heard that WOT has been printed in Korean but I can't find it on the net. Anyone know where i can purchase it? (websites, mail order, etc..)

For this thread, anyway, not in general. Since there was so much posting on the Where are you from? thread, especially from UKers, I wanted to ask this question. Next summer, I am planning a trip to Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales (?). Our plan is to fly into Ireland, toodle around for a few days, then skip over to London, see the sights, then drive to Scotland, seeing what there is to see along the way. Is this hard/impossible/insane? Would it be better to take little jaunts? What should we see along the way if we DO do this? White Wolf, I'm looking at you for help!

Ok, a few years ago I read this book, and I can’t remember the title, author, or the names of any of the characters. I think this book was part of a series…anyway, it involved a castle, or perhaps a town or monastery, which had some sort of cursed gold that created a force field thing which trapped some of the characters inside. There was also a ghost in the beginning who died, and left an amethyst set in silver pendant/necklace to one of the characters. If any of this sounds familiar, please give me a title

Jim Baen, the founder of Baen Books, a sci-fi publishing house has suffered a stroke this weekend. I can't find any more information than that online. Jim Baen is one of the great figures in sci-fi lit. Many popular authors were first published by his company. Losing him would be a huge blow to speculative fiction community.

How do I get one of those awesome, full-color, special, personalized, uber-cool siggies like some of you have? yes, you. *points to reader's chest and nods vigorously* Not looking for anything huge and flashy, just... you know.

Trying to get more people to join the Aiel Org, I made a desperate attempt on the Fiddlesticks board and some one new posted. Hehehehe :lol: . My plan is working. JOIN THE AIEL FOOL!

If you've learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius! Pursue at your leisure, English lovers. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: 1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4. We must polish the Polish furniture. 5. He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10. I did not object to the…

Hey all, Just a heads up to let you all know that tomorrow morning I am leaving for Hilton Head for a week. I do not plan to have ANY internet access in that time, so don't look for me! I won't be here! I'll be basking in the sun...

Those of you that I saw in Dallas last weekend, this is the book I was reading. You can read it for free online, or purchase the print version through Cafepress. There are differences to the versions, but only in details. The characters and major events are unchanged. http://www.johndiesattheend.com/ I know Karana read the online version awhile ago, anyone else?

I'm wondering if anyone has any solid book or author recommendations while we wait for the final book? I have a few of my own suggestions. Also, it doesn't have to be in the fantasy/sci-fi line. A great historical or linguistics or foreign read is also welcome. Here are a couple of my own. Steven Erikson's A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series is amazing. In my own opinion. Anyways, the first book is titled Gardens of the Moon. If you're an American (like I am), do NOT buy the American version, break down and buy the version that was released in the U.K. In fact, do it for all of the books in that series, since you can buy the first 6 there and on…

spider, unicorn, sand worm, basically nonbipedal creature other than giants/ents? I personally would have to go with Ungoliant, mother of the spiders in MiddleEarth

ummm, I don't understand something, I've heard a few ppl say on these boards that Gandalf is more powerful than Sauron. But, what I don't understand is that if Gandalf can't defeat the Witchking how could he hope to defeat Sauron?

Not sure if this has already been asked or covered or anything but I was wondering if anyone knew when the Online store will have items to purchase?

Now that both sets of members are back on one server, and one set of boards, the RP Staff have decided to "showcase" each Division in a series of RP's to further help, and promote, role playing at DM. Not only that, but to show those who may be interested, but are unsure, what exactly role-playing is. The first RP is by the Aiel Division and will continue until next Monday when the Band of the Red Hand start theirs. Each week the link to the rp's will be posted on this thread, here is the first. http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=72 If you have any questions about the role-playing, then either contact me, or Muirenn, by PM, or post on the Divi…

Hi there people. I got the idea of drawing some WoT characters and started making what i thought would be Tom. Turns out i might be wrong. As i was modelling the face it didn't feel "Tom" enough to me, but i sort of liked it anyway and I don't want to scrap it just yet. Since this is my first topicpost outside newbieland I thought i would do the first thing everybody does when feeling lost in a new place. Ask for help. So then, who is this guy? Remember that he is just a raw model, not at all finished. What is the first person that springs to you mind when seeing him? Would he be Tom if he had white hair, a big mustache and big bushy brows? Maybe he is o…

Today is their third wedding anniversary! I am very proud of you two :)

I'm suffering from a cold right now. When I went to the store they didn't have any of the good cold medicine because that stuff could be used to make crystal meth, and I was to lazy to go to the pharmacy. So do any of you have any good home remedies that you use to get through a summer cold?

This is my own barbecue sauce recipe (combined from various sources, and the key ingredient was my own addition). This recipe is so good that people who didn't know the sauce was homemade were complimenting me on it, and even my brother (who, as brothers will, would die before complimenting me) admitted it was great 1 cup ketchup .5 cup dry red wine .25 cup corn oil .25 cup soy sauce .25 cup white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons black pepper 4 garlic cloves crushed 4 teaspoons dried oregano ** Key Ingredient** - 1 Double Shot good smoky scotch (I use Bowmore Islay http://www.bowmorescotch.com/html/home.html) Ble…

Hi everyone. If you drop by the Seanchan boards, you can add your nominations to the 1st Annual DM Seggie awards which are for the past season of TV shows. Once we have nominations, we will then post polls for people to vote for the winners. OOOO fun. Anyway, stop by if you like. Empy

Well, the time has come again... Asschen has informed us that he feels he is not able to give the time that running the Wolfkin needs. He has requested that a new person be chosen to run this Org. We sincerely thank Asschen for picking up where his predecessor had left off, you've done great things for the Wolfies. *Gives out TQ* Anyway, what we need is someone who is willing to give us at least 6 months in the Org Leader position. As Org leader it will be your responcibility to keep activity strong, and to co-ordinate a monthly activity (this is VERY flexible, and most likely, is already being done). You will also have access to the DM Staff Board, where…

I call to order the Malazan Occupation Force - 7 & 3/4 Army. We shall commence nominations of naming our new Brigade. At the end of the week, we shall have a final list, and voting will begin shortly within the next few days. Opening options: The Fallen Brigade Legion of the Fallen Brigade of the Fallen The Fallen Legion The Fallen Cadre Cadre of the Fallen Hood's Balls Brigade :shock: :lol: This brigade will be devoted to spreading the news of Erikson's epic Malazan Book of the Fallen sequence, the greatest sword and sorcery tale of the New Millenia. I hope there are enough fans at Dragonmount for this to work. Cheers to all. …

I found a link to this on another forum and thought it should be posted here: "At January 3, 2006, Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by a criminal court. The Court of Appeal will review her sentence, and if upheld there, it must be confirmed by the Supreme Court, before she can be executed. According to the Iranian daily Etemaad, then 17-year-old Nazanin and her niece had been spending some time in a park west of Tehran with their boyfriends, when three men started harassing them. The girls` boyfriends fled from the scene, leaving them helpless behind. The men pushed Nazanin and her niece down on the ground and tried to rape them, and to protect herself, …

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had full/complete pictures of the cover art of all of his books? or at least know where I could go to get the full art? I just would like it for my husbands rotating screensaver...to surpise him for father's day! Thanks so much for your help Jess
