Too bad for anyone that may have been taking shelter in the largest, most defensible building in the square during the attack. Oops.

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 1, 2, 3 Discussion Thread

Thoughts from Brandon Sanderson on the first episodes: Haven't watched the final product yet, as I wasn't able to make the premier. Disclosure, I'm one of the producers. My part equated to reading the scripts and offering feedback directly to Rafe, the show runner. I'll be watching tonight, and ther...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 1, 2, 3 Discussion Thread

Some of the plot holes can be justified by wotmud mechanics. "Rumors of 4 Ta'verens in the Two Rivers" (complete nonsense) - the old Ta/Rea/Sei sense 8-foot monster sneaking into a public square, stabbing a man, and pausing for dramatic affect - bloody trolloc rogues (and post-backstab lag) Moiraine...

Re: The Wheel of TIme Season 1 Episode 1, 2, 3 Discussion Thread

Episode 1: Great: Acting for the most part is great. Minor characters such as Tam were well done. Battle sequence in Two Rivers well done, including Moiraine's use of One Power, the heron marked sword, and the chaotic nature. (although ? Moiraine just tanking a dagger to the chest?) Trollocs and CGI...

Re: The Hunt: The Illian Desecration --- &RPaward

INTERLUDE 1 Smoke crawled desperately across the dew-soaked grass, leaving a glistening red trail behind him. His dappled gray fur was thickly matted with dried blood, barely concealing the vicious wounds on his skin. He nosed through the expanse of the Wake-Dream, barely catching the scent of his ...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

With an official release date for the TV Series (November 19), it might not be a bad idea to start considering a global in-game tie-in event. There is likely to be a huge interest boost from returning players as well as new players. It would be a lot of work, but there is a potential for big dividen...

Re: WoT show to begin production this Fall!

Who’s the guy dual-wielding axes? That is likely Stephin (played by Peter Franzen) the Warder to Kerene Nagashi, an Aes Sedai likely killed by Logain. He is also the one crying after her death. This is a marked change from the books (Kerene was one of Tamra's Searchers in New Spring who was killed ...

Re: Questions about the shifting focus

One thing that I think would be great would be Immortal Sanctioned Player-run RP Competitions/Events. It would leverage the creativity of the player base, as well as delegation of lot of time that goes into running them. For example, back when I had more time, I ran a few events such as The Festival...
