(Quote) Good one! :D

(Quote) Do you know that musicians are charged to get on many of these popular playlists? Nowadays musicians tour to pay for their albums, which produce no appreciable revenue. I don't tour, but other musicians are really hurting with no touring.

(Quote) I deleted it, and not accidentally. (Quote) Metal seems to be the only bit of Rock that has sustained itself and grown in the last few years. It's not something I do, and not something I especially care for, but it is alive and flowering. …

(Quote) It would have to be. They have been moving in more or less a straight line, which accounts for why Nissun couldn't be found - Jemesin had to invent the only horse and wagon in the world so the flint knapper and daughter could outdistance her…

Hellifino!

I miss Ray too!

It seems like the albums intended for RPG backgrounds are mostly instrumental/ambient things, not song-based. I blame Eno! :D
-
Doing some searching, there seems to be a lot of RPG background music out there, to be played during a game. There is an official D&D album by Midnight Syndicate. I suppose that is to be expected... :D

Tekumel is right up your alley, @Apocryphal! Not surprised you gave it a high five. :D

I have done the latter on occasion. My old friends - godparents to Klaxon - have a goth band called Dreamchild, and I used to put their albums on occasionally while running a game to get a eerie atmosphere.

(Quote) I didn't link the album on purpose! I wanted to talk about linking music to tabletop games. Like you, I would think it odd if it hadn't been done before, but hadn't heard of any. Maybe Raven McCracken? He must have! I know he's a musician!

Sorry, @RichardAbbott! Wasn't thinking how US-Centric that was! :p

Dammit! I forgot about the dump! She might as well have said "And we'll find out, right after these important messages!"

(Quote) More personal and less institutionalized, and I think focused on keeping her alive rather than just conformation. (Quote) I don't think either is particularly clever, to tell the truth. More manipulative? Let's go with that. (Quote) "…

(Quote) Step right up! Pays yer money and takes yer pick! Step right up, folks!

(Quote) Many years ago I released a game called FTL Now, in which a terrorist group hit New York City with a comet on September 11, 2001, vaporizing the mouth of the Hudson, and killing everyone in the Northeast US Megalopolis - i.e. Boston to Washi…

The moon's orbit is getting tighter and tighter, and it will one day hit the Roche Limit at about 11,000 miles and break up as the tidal stresses overcome the moon's own gravity, and it can't keep itself together. I can't believe Jemisin cares about…

"One of these days Essen! Pow! Right to the moon! If only we had a moon!"

(Quote) Might makes right is a description of how that person came to power - they were the strongest at the time. It says nothing about their decision-making qualities at all. The snap decision vs consultation question is at its most basic level wh…

(Quote) Well, A flaw, at any rate! :D

(Quote) Why? Does it matter? They knew about it when the author decided they knew about it. (Quote) Answers? Maybe... when she gets around to it. The author is perfectly competent in explaining what she wants to explain, so it will be coherent. I d…

(Quote) My feeling is that the narrator is Hoa speaking to Essun while eating her mineralized limbs. Stone eaters apparently claim their future meals early on.

The thing about this novel that is NOT like a comic book is that there are no super heroes, just various super villains, who go around hurting and dominating each other, and making each other miserable.
-
Excellent points, @WildCard! The fact that they agree with mine is only a curious happenstance! Thanks!

(Quote) Astonishing, ain't it? :D

(Quote) You say that like there is something wrong, @RichardAbbott! :D

(Quote) You do realize this is very possibly lies... I find it highly amusing that he somehow went straight to this place and arrived substantially before Essun without encountering and passing her, while she was being 'pulled' there. I say amusing …

(Quote) Which is why I find it sooo funny! It's whacked as hell, but entirely plausible!

@RichardAbbott and @Apocryphal - maybe Lerna is a stone eater in disguise (Stone Eaters! Monsters In Disguise!) and that is why he is there in Crystal Hollow - To turn people into stone and eat 'em! - and how he got there so fast - Walked through th…
