Like a boss.
You bunch of fucking nerds
Dude, you went and did ayahuasca with a shaman. That's ultimate nerd.

Heh, I used to 'edit' those letters, and the 'fantasy' interviews in the middle section of Razzle & Fiesta.

I read four of the dragonlance novels - I borrowed them from LJo's husband when I was 15, and then didn't get round to giving them back for ages - so i posted them, but he'd moved house in the meantime.
I still carry around the guilt of that.

gaslit at scale.
The Dragonlance Twins were my favourite, the Twins Trilogy seemed so dark, Raistlin the disturbed genius, and his big dumb kind-hearted scull-smashing brother, that book where they go back in time to just after the Cataclysm (or before?) and visit the evil wizard Fistandantilus, post apocalyptic and dissturbing or what, Loved-em.
And in Forgotten Realms, the Drizzt do Urben character.
Moorcocks Elric of Melbnibone is Literature in my opinion. I consider it still worth a read now to be frank.
All Hail Chaos.

In retrospect, Raistlin is the most obvious power-wank-fantasy of weak-chested nerds.
Fuck. I've just remembered I owned TWO Dragonlance board games.

Bah
I thought they were great and will still happily re-read them.
Not read the third chronicles yet.
I couldn't help but get the feeling that they were massively symbolic of something, but could never work out what

Oh dear. I read loads of Anne McCaffrey's stuff. Dragonriders stuff, the Ship Who Sang series, and the Talents stuff.
It's bilge, absolute bilge
Also, for the record, Anne, "Daffyd op Owen" is not a real Welsh name. Do some research.
The Groke
hot hail/Paging Dr. Beat
Yes.
Even worse, I bought one of his the other day for old times sake.
It was still shit. I still read it all.

Is it possible to multiquote the entire thread and then type?

Plus I had a subscription to White Dwarf back when it was a Dungeons and Dragons mag.
p.s. I still read Gemmel and Fiest
p.p.s. Eddings really did milk the one plot didn't he. It was very good the first time round though.

At least I was actually in the jungle with real tribespeople and monkeys and stuff and not in my friends basement pretending to be a lvl 45 orc warrior arguing over who's magic spell inflicts the most damage to your mana or whatever the fuck nerd shit you freaks go on about down there

I think I've read every Andre Norton book ever written.
I've read most Star Trek books and even a couple of Buffy the Vampire Slayer books, which are truely awful.
Read the Thomas Covenant books.
Read Katherine Kurtz.

Agreed. Surely taking ayahusca with a shaman is like the ultimate in cool, it's sort of total reverse nerd...

That's kanda's bag. I'm more a porn and pizza kinda guy.
No, it's the ultimate in bourgeois post-colonial tourism and as such indicates a profound emptiness in one's existential self-conception if you think it's in any way cool.
