I’m not a lawyer either, but once upon a time I held a full scholarship at a top quartile law school. I left after the first year because the people were boring and there are easier ways to make money. “If everyone followed the letter of the law there would be no room for interpretation” I...

Every writer has their own process. I like Ingmar Bergman’s question game. You begin with an object or picture and then ask questions about it. Sometimes it goes nowhere, sometimes it goes far. In the case of the novel I’m working on I started with a stuffed animal and ended up with an entire...

(I’m at a movie theater now so I’m turning off my phone)

I’m going to pretend you can’t Google things for yourself and share a review. The structure and underlying fears seem semi-aligned with your work. I may be totally off though. https://www.harvardreview.org/book-review/the-octopus-museum/

I don’t put much stock in that. All it means is that our future machine overlords will probably excel at flattery.

I am super interested in what you’re working on, M7600. For whatever reason, it made me think of Brenda Shaughnessy’s Octopus Museum, which is one of my favorite poetry collections. I suppose it’s the isolated pieces with a story to be inferred. That and the implied social commentary.

When asked to define the Beat Generation Allen Ginsberg said: “There is no Beat Generation: We’re just a bunch of guys trying to get published.” That would be my honest reply to anyone trying classify my approach, lol. As for my influences, I was targeting Adams meets Robbins with a distinct...

It’s good to hear from you, O_Bruce! If you like books, then you’re qualified. I have friends who are writers reading it. I want readers reading it too. If you enjoy books by the authors I mentioned -Adams, Vonnegut, Pratchett and Robbins- you’re especially welcome. These were the comparisons...

Yay! I’d be willing to read your work in exchange, if you’d like. Sounds fascinating. I’m comfortable sharing comments here if, say, other people join in on the read party. I don’t love the idea of posting my pages on the forum, though. PM me and we can come up with a way to exchange. Best, A.

I don’t know what this is but I like it already! I have some catch-up reading to do for sure. Btw, sorry I didn’t follow the PoE run too closely. I was genuinely worried about PoE2 spoilers. I don’t have any intention of playing WoW so that won’t be a problem here. Looking forward to it!

Hey there, hi there, everyone! As some of you may have noticed I haven’t been playing BG recently. I’ve been working on something else. It’s a comedic novel. I just finished the first chapter. It’s still in the rough draft stage, but things are looking good so far. My friends have enjoyed what...

Astrid smiles whenever you use a lightning bolt on the beast master, Borco

Lol. No. That was a good choice. I said this one was perfect. Here it is. Tell me I didn’t nail it. I’m pretty sure that’s my all time favorite match. My bounty hunter’s is a great match too.

Thanks! I’m excited about Alastria 3.0. Here portrait is great. She has an elite theme song too. It’s a spot on match, and a song that I absolutely love. Perfect

Thanks for the breakdown, Serg. I had always thought it was a rep of 15-20, not a reaction of 15-20. I had noticed a couple times when I had a rep of 15 and didn't get the scroll, but I had just shrugged that off as an anomaly. Now I know what happened there.

I feel like this is going to be patched eventually but for now it is what it is. It could definitely be a difference maker for my Transmuter With Chill Touch: Without Chill Touch:

I always enjoy your runs, Borco, but this one has been especially interesting so far, tactically speaking. Glad to see you using Chill Touch. Like Polymorph Self, I’ve been using it less due to the EE changes but I still enjoy finding uses for it. I think you may have found a way forward...

Condolences on the loss of Orrin, Borco. I’m bummed for reals. I’m glad to see you’re back in the saddle though, in your comfort zone, flying solo. Best of luck with Rissa! I’m on a little vacay right now, without my computer. I’m heading back home tomorrow. The plan is to work my way back...

Glad to see you back in action, Borco! Cheers, A. Btw, Alena says hi. She hopes to join you soon.

Very cool. I've been to Nepal, but I didn't go to Chitwan. It seems incredible. The megafauna there are super impressive. I've never seen a sloth bear. The only bears I've seen in the wild are the ones in the US's lower 48 states, blacks and browns.
