Fair enough but I really didn’t enjoy the first book and these books are huge. I’d rather be confused and get through it than buy and read two more massive tomes I likely won’t enjoy.

If I was a player in this game I would stop going. It punishes committed players to put them at the mercy of the uncommitted.
I’ll send you an update once it’s done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I’ll have them doing Gradient Descent.
I’m prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.
Wow yikes. You sound like fun at parties. Go find someone to care about.
For the record, I think there is a loneliness epidemic for both genders.
The worst part of this is the “This is part of the story”
This is just a toxic gender wars meme. Go outside, touch some grass, meet someone nice and move on with life. Memes like this come from and perpetuate the loneliness epidemic.
Sounds horrible tbh. A big part of the hobby is meeting new friends. This sounds like a good way to become socially isolated and depressed.
In my personal experience that’s much more difficult
If this happens, the RPG is too complex for that player. Play a simpler system.
B/X is good. When characters have d6 hp and it’s instant death at 0 the combat becomes way more serious and tense.
If you’re going to die, better to die on the main quest. I avoid side quest distractions.
The best lore is lore made at the table with the players. The rest is just gm inspiration.

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Some of the dialogue feels a bit dated but so far I’m enjoying it.
The First Law by Joe Abercrombie. It deals with political struggles and empires clashing but not the end of the world. The characters are definitely more flawed and relatable at times.
If you’re running a sandbox, you just need to review a bit ahead of the party in the various dungeons.
I finished Dawn Shard now and I enjoyed it more than Way of Kings but not enough to want to read more Stormlight Archives. I actually found the story to be a fairly self-contained story on a boat. I think already knowing a bit of spoilers about spren and void bringers was enough.
There were sometimes parts where characters would mention things like briefly being a king in the past, which I’m sure comes from another book but wasn’t important for the plot of this book.
Overall I’m just not a Sanderson fan I think. I don’t like his humour and I found I really didn’t care about the characters in Way of Kings. The big problem is that his books are so long and it seems like not much happens until the end. I saw fans calling this an avalanche but I really couldn’t stand it. No hate on others who like it but it’s really not for me.
