  1. Hello Dragonmount. Feels good to walk your streets once again though so much is different. You really can’t go home again. I’m Millon. I was active here well over ten years ago. I did pop back in from time to time to see how things were but I never really stuck it out. Too busy “looking for home” instead of trying to see what’s here now. “Hey! What went into the old Blockbuster Rental over on fifth? Oh. A Spirit of Halloween. Makes sense….” I was mostly in the White Tower Social Group though I was in The Band, Black Tower and Kin. Not a whole lot though aside from the Tower. I’ve only ever read the entire series at length once believe it or not. I read the first nine more times than I care to think about though. Just life got in the way. Not because I’m particularly fond of the first nine. I forced myself to find time to finish it when it ended. That’s all. I find it hard to read anything anymore really! lol. I am filled with gross disappointment for most of the show. I think they absolutely NAILED channeling and shadowspawn and most of the casting is pretty fantastic. I guess I’m writin a new intro because I’d really like to see what’s great about this place today and not filtering it through memories. Kinda like watching the show! Hahahahaha. I’m a single dad of a ten year old special needs kiddo. Of course, a fantasy nerd. I paint Warhammer figurines and I enjoy working on my D&D campaign setting though I don’t actually play (yet) lol. Critical Role really re-ignited that interest about ten or so years ago. Dont seem to have much of an attention span for new TV shows or movies or things on TV. Unless you want to get down with Bluey discussions! I’m down for that! Greatest bloody cartoon ever. Not a big sportsball guy but GO BILLS!! I’m glad to be back though. Really hoping I can stick around again. I’ve built some of the greatest relationships of my life in this place. Friends I’ve never even ‘met’ but I consider closer than most of my family and friends. I’m glad to still see some of them here. Looking forward to meeting new friends as well. uhhhhh, yeah. That’s it. Good to meet you all.
  2. What’s shakin @AlsBeck Luhhan?! Pleasure to meet ya! I’m an oldy old old of the place here and just tryin to get back into it all. Love the books, barely tolerate the show. lol. Still goin to watch 3 though because j hate myself lol. I love the shadowspawn, channeling and so far the cast is pretty great. I’ll refrain from the negatives 😉 lol.
  3. Many good hellos!! I am Millon. A Der’Manshima Warder of the Cuendren. I have no idea how to see how long I’ve been here hahahaha. Long enough maybe? but not quite long enough. I started reading the series because my older brother was a jerk and got sick of me eaves dropping on him and his friends when they played D&D. So he handed me The Eye and I completely fell in. This was my intro into reading fantasy. I haaaaaaated the space between releases until I found this space. The debates, discussions, ART, theories in between each book and the post release discussions and ramped up furor. Was almost more enjoyable than the material itself lol. My favorite characters are Bayle and Egeanen Shipless and then Hurin. The moments we got with those characters, to me, were so well written. You got so much of their characters in such short spaces and better written than a lot of the main characters! lol. Like, when Bayle says “hey, you want to see all this cool stuff I collected?” Obviously not quoting lol but that moment of the gruff sailor bein vulnerable and showin his boyish collection and sharing why he became a captain in the first place are just great ways to flesh out the character. Egeanin, though you don’t get to see it happen “on screen” risking herself with being with Bayle and her struggle with breaking away from her culture. Hurin just bein the bestest goodest boy in all the series. Just great. He really was like a bloodhound made into a human. light help me I just can’t with the show. Not a purest though! That’s not it all. I completely understand the need to make alterations for a screen. Absolutely. My dislike comes from changes that absolutely didn’t need to be changed. The symbolism of the entire lore had no need to be changed. The great serpent. Gone. The Trefoil leaf. Gone. The blight looking like a cut and paste graphic from an early 90s video game. The hill I will absolutely die on though is the absolute disrespect Tand has for that bow when he just TOSSES IT ASIDE LIKE A PIECE OF TRASH IN THE VERY FORST EPISODE. Awful. I bloody love the Shadowspawn and channeling though. Holy hell is that so. Damn. Good. lol
  4. I completely missed this. Lol. I am the worst! I am genuinely surprised you didn’t put any of me here. Some of those were pure gold lmbo
