  1. I'm more about the PVE, but if a team needs a builder/resourcer I'm in. I was out most of this week due to PAX South, and getting back and needing to get caught up. I'm mostly caught up at this point.

    This topic was brought up again during Saturday Night Customs. Then Sunday I had a thought what about all the books I have on my iPad that I haven't read. I keep buying books from the Kindle store, and I have a backlog. Part of what brought this up was also a post by a friend of mine about a book, so I added that book/series to my Wishlist on Amazon. Armada by Ernest Cline The Cinder Spires: The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher Fire with Fire by Charles Gannon Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (Gen Con Author Guest) The Blade Itself: The First Law by Joe Abercrombie Star Wars: Choices of one by Tim Zahn The Rain Wilds Chronicles by Robin Hobb Elfhunter Trilogy by C.S. Marks Kris Longknife: Mutineer by Mike Shepherd Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (started, haven't finished) Star Wars: Mercy Kill by Aaron Allston (started, haven't finished) The Mongoliad The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss Star Wars: Survivor's Quest by Timothy Zahn Warbound (The Grimnoir Chronicles book 3) by Larry Correia Wayne of Gotham by Tracy Hickman (started, haven't finished) Word of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, book 2) by Brandon Sanderson I know a ton of books on my to be read list. Some I started but put down, most of the time it just wasn't the right time for that book for me. So what is on your backlog?

    So the past few Saturday Night Customs nights that I have been on, you nerds turn it to talk about books. Being a big book nerd myself I love it. So we were talking about various series last night again, and it got me thinking maybe I should start a thread about books. I do have a GoodReads account, but I haven't done anything with it. So below are some of my favorite series broken down into genres. Urban Fantasy: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher: Set in Modern Chicago, a young Wizard tries to make his way in the world as a Wizard/Detective. Occasionally helping out the Chicago Police Department with weird cases. The Iron Druid Series by Kevin Hearne: This follows the modern day adventures of a 2,000+ year old Druid and his hound. The hound isn't nearly as old, and is quite a bit funnier. The Council Wars series by John Ringo: This actually takes place 10,000 years in the future where the "ruling" body of the world goes to war and causes the downfall of man. This is also where a Sci-Fi writer tries to write fantasy. Monster Hunter International Series by Larry Corria Fantasy: Dragonlance Series by Margeret Wies and Tracy Hickman: A classic fantasy tale with an extended universe. Though to be honest some of the books are good, some are bad. Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan Codex Alera by Jim Butcher: A Roman society transported to another planet where magic exists. Science Fiction: The Serrano series by Elizabeth Moon Vatta's War by Elizabeth Moon Vorkorsigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold The Planet Pirates series by Anne McCaffery & Elizabeth Moon & Old Man's War series by John Scalzi The Lost Fleet Series by Jack Campbell Forever War by Joe Hadleman Doona Series by Anne McCaffery Historical Fiction: Belsarius series by Eric Flint and David Drake 1632 series by Eric Flint and others I'm sure there are more, but I have run out of time for now. Once I figure out the url for my GoodReads account I will post that. If others want to post their GoodReads accounts I wouldn't mind.
  4. I'd be interested, but as a warning, my play is erratic. Sometimes I am bad, sometimes I am ok.
  5. I haven't been on much the last month. We were out of town for most of it. Three weekends at my Father-In-Laws, one weekend at my Grandpa's, and the last weekend in April was at a game convention running games. However now we are going to away every few weekends so we can get the house ready to sell. So I plan to try to be on during the week more.
  6. I could do October. I miss going to LAN parties. Though I might be looking for someone to split the room with, as I would need a hotel room.
  7. 5/8/14? Do you have a time machine and are not sharing?
  8. I hate Dust2. I don't understand why people have such a lovefest for that map.
