Each character could've easily stepped away and everything would've been fine. Most plowed forward. In doing so, who do they become? Rhaenyra Targaryen proved the lowborn were viable Dragonriders but only after throwing the majority into Vermithor's dragons fire. Daemon Targaryen unprecedently holds his tongue to get what he desperately needs from Lord Oscar Tully. Alicent Hightower is the only one who steps away from it all, but even she returns with renewed resolve.

We're excited to break down episode seven of House of the Dragon and discuss a few new dragon riders this week so let's raise a glass to the rightful Queen Rhaenyra.https://linktr.ee/GeekPeakyoutube.com/geekpeakpodPatreon.com/geekpeakpodhttps://geekpeakpod.threadless.com/Rate and review on apple pods or spotify!

What art thou Bros? Welcome back to Westeros. In part 1 of our recap, Team Green is starting to hit some snags. The smallfolk are growing restless and famine is sweeping Kings Landing. Aemond and the council propose making a deal with the Triarchy and Alicent is kicked off of the council. Rhaenyra pushes her dragon rider theory and enlists Stephen Darkly to attempt to bond with Seasmoke (spoiler alert. It doesn't go well.) Daemon IS STILL TRIPPING AT HARRENHALL... we're ready for him to get back to doing Daemon stuff. Alys Rivers gives him a cryptic message and tells him to stay put for the time being. Corlys enlists Allyn to his fleet. We see as the propaganda machine begins to take hold in Kings Landing. Rhaenyra begins to question the level of respect that her council has for her. Larys lobbies to be Aemond's hand but Aemond requests he seek out Otto Hightower to return as Hand of the King... All that and more on todays episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

How Art Thy Broseth? In our conclusion of our HoTD recap, Aegon begins to awaken. Aemond presses him in an attempt to remind him that Aemond is in charge now. Alicent is lost and alone now that she has no place on the council. Rhaena happens upon a scorched field with dead sheep setting the stage for Sheepstealer to enter the show. Jace tells Rhaenyra that Team Black needs Daemon which in turn causes Rhaenyra to question Jace's faith in her. Mysaria sends boats full of food to Kings Landing under the Targaryen banner to sway the smallfolk to Rhaenyra's favor. All hell breaks loose in Kings Landing when the boats arrive with food and Alicent and Heleana are attacked in town leaving the church leading to the Kingsguard killing and maiming the smallfolk (which should go over very well). Larys slides into Aegon's good favor again in his last attempt to remain in the game. Daemon receives word that Grover Tully has finally kicked the bucket leaving House Tully available for recruitment. Addam of Hull has a run in with Seasmoke. Rhaenyra and Mysaria share a kiss and Rhaenyra rides out on Syrax to meet this new dragon rider who is flying around on Seasmoke... This season has hit a bit of a lull so we are hoping next week kicks in heavy with the action! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of DRAGONSKULL: CURSE OF THE ORCS (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: SPRINGORCS The coupon code is valid through May 20th, 2024. So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello everyone. Welcome to Episode 198 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is April 26th, 2024 and today we were talking about seven of the most inaccurate movies about writers. Before we do that, we will have writing updates, Coupon of the Week, and a Question of the Week. So let's start with Coupon of the Week. First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Curse of the Orc (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That coupon code is SPRINGORCS and that's SPRINGORCS. As always, that coupon code will be in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through May 20th, 2024. So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing projects and audiobook projects. I'm currently on Chapter 16 of Cloak of Titans. I'm not sure how many chapters it's going to end up being. My number keeps changing, but I think right now it's 25. I am over halfway through the book and I'm hoping to be past the 70,000 word point by the end of the day, if all goes well. I'm hoping to still have that out before the end of May. I am also 5,000 words into Half-Orc Paladin, which should come out this summer. After Cloak of Titans is out, my next main project will be Shield of Darkness, which I know many people have been asking about, so hopefully it will not be too much longer until I start on Shield of Darkness. In audiobook news, Hollis McCarthy is almost done recording Ghost in the Veils, and we should hopefully have that available to listen to sometime in May. Brad Wills is currently recording the anthology Tales of the Shield Knight, which will contain over 15 of the Shield Knight short stories that I wrote for the Sevenfold Sword and Dragontiarna series, and that should also hopefully be out sometimes toward the end of May or possibly June. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and audiobook projects. 00:01:58 Question of the Week/Update on Starfield from Previous Question of the Week Next up is Question of the Week, which is designed to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: what is the first fantasy novel you remember reading? After all, if you're hanging around the website of Jonathan Moeller, Pulp Writer, there's a non-zero chance that you enjoy fantasy books. So it seems like a reasonable question, and it was indeed a reasonable question because we got a lot of responses. Our first response is from Justin, who says: believe it or not, the first fantasy novel I read was The Hobbit. My older sisters had pooled their money to buy the paper version of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I saw them reading it, and since my sisters were for once not being nasty to each other and reading together, it had to be good. After they finished The Hobbit, I asked to borrow it. It was allowed to read it as long as I didn't leave the room and wash my hands first. I was eight. Our next response is from Mary, who says: I remember my first reading of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. It was by no stretch of the imagination my first fantasy novel. Our next comment is from Stuart, who says: Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings. When I was younger/preteens, I loved adventure books like Hardy Boys and The Three Investigators. I didn't really read much in the coming years, until one day it was raining outside and being bored, I made a nuisance of myself when my older brother was trying to watch TV. He finally snapped, told me to shut up, threw Pawn of Prophecy at me, and told me to read that. The rest, as they say, is history. I went from adding Eddings to Feist and Gemmel and then on to Jordan, etcetera. I will always have a soft spot for David Eddings books, though. So it seems the common themes here will be a sibling rivalry inspiring love of fantasy literature. Our next response is from Grace, who says: does the Magic Treehouse series count? If not, Chronicles of Narnia. Leanne says Dragonriders of Pern. Boy, did I want a dragon! Melinda says Piers Anthony's Night Mare. I was in 6th grade and my friend gave it to me for my birthday. Cheryl says: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. From then on, it was full steam ahead, Feist, Eddings, Tolkien, Irvine, and now most of the fantasy/sci-fi authors that are currently publishing on Kindle. David says: probably The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Kevin says: many, many moons ago it was the Earthsea trilogy by Ursula Le Guin. Then I wandered into TV and films in the sci-fi genre for a number of years, forsaking the written word. My imagination was recaptured more recently, about a decade ago, a decade ago, when a friend lent me a copy of Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Alan says: I've been through most of these mentioned so far though the years but my first introduction to once he was Edgar Rice Burroughs, like Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Pellucidar, etcetera. Then on to Tolkien. Randy says: for me it was The Hobbit.  Went on a family vacation with my uncle and his family. I was introduced to The Hobbit. My uncle will read just about every night to my cousins, and as we're all sharing the same room, my sister and I began hearing the story. We got home. I asked my dad if I could read his copy. 50 some odd years later, I'm still devouring as many books as I can. Mike says: I am not sure which one it was, but I believe it was either The Hobbit or The Sword of Shannara. Diana says: The Gunslinger. I said what I said. Venus says: A Wrinkle in Time or Dragonsong. I know that the Pern books are actually science fiction, but I don't recall any of the science stuff that first time I read it. It was the first Pern book I read. The first epic fantasy I recall reading was Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Gary says: I couldn't give you a title or author, but I definitely remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books in the fantasy genre as a young reader. Tom said: Not 100% sure, but this is my best guess. It would be The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Ah, the Chronicles of Narnia. What a series. Juana says: I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Catriona says: The Hobbit after listening to the BBC Radio play adaptation in the ‘70s. Pippa says: Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I've reread them lots too and I've never tired of them. Perry says: Do the Iliad, Odyssey, and Beowulf count? For modern fantasy, would be a toss-up between The Hobbit and The Belgariad. Joy says: the Thomas Covenant series. My boyfriend at the time was into sci-fi and fantasy novels, so I borrowed it and was hooked. A different Glenn says: either Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey or the Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip. I love them both in the same summer while visiting my dad and cannot remember which one came first, but I got hooked on fantasy fiction that summer. Mandy says: The first time I remember reading the left an impression was the Dragonlance Legends series. My favorite fantasy series is Discworld. Gary (a different Gary) says: First one I remember is the Elfstones of Shannara. Also, the Dragonriders of Pern and Crystal Singer series. John says: Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. I was nine years old. It created a lifelong love of fantasy for me. Darla says: A Wrinkle in Time, The Faraway Lurs, and The Runaway Robot were some of the books I read as a kid. Later it was Lord of the Rings and The Dragonriders of Pern and I continue reading to this day. Andy says first ever was the Deverry series by Katherine Kerr. It was a very intense read for 14 year old on an 8 hour drive on a family trip. Sue says David Eddings- all his series, and Anne McCaffrey, Dragonrider series. Brock says Lord of the Rings. Susan says: probably Lord of the Rings, but it's over 50 years ago. I can't really remember. Edward says The Legend of Huma by Richard A. Knaak. Michael says. Now there's a question! Probably The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or one of the other Narnia books, all of which are obviously epic. And finally, Judy says the White Mountains by John Christopher or anything by Dr. Seuss. So I think we can see it's safe to say that if you have a small children between the ages of eight and 10 and you want to get them into fantasy literature, the best places to start would be either The Hobbit, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, or perhaps the Dragonriders of Pern. For myself, the very first fantasy novel I ever read was Magician Master by Raymond E. Feist. What got me into that book was The Betrayal at Krondor computer game, which of course was a classic. After I finished the game, I did some reading. Remember this was way before the Internet, so you couldn't find out anything you wanted whenever you wanted and I was astonished to realize that Krondor was in fact based off an actual novel series. So I got Magician Master and started reading it. Fun fact, years later I realized that Magician Master was in fact the sequel to Magician Apprentice and went back to read the first book. So that was this week's Question of the Week. You may remember that last week's Question of the Week was what new Xbox game I should try. Many people had excellent suggestions. I think I'm going to go with Starfield from all the suggestions last week. The reason for this is that Starfield reminds me a great deal of Wing Commander Privateer from the ‘90s. If you remember, the Wing Commander series of PC games, they're basically Top Gun but in space. Privateer took the basic flight gameplay mechanic but changed it so you're an independent privateer captain and you had to make your way through the Gemini sector as a mercenary, a merchant, a pirate, a bounty hunter, or some combination of them. You had to buy your own equipment and weapons and find a way to turn a profit in your jobs, since you had to pay for everything. If you played the main plots, you got involved in conspiracy involving a lost alien relic, but you don't have to do any main plot at all. You just fly around the galaxy making credits, fighting pirates, and trading. Starfield basically feels like someone took Wing Commander Privateer, and then added on a Skyrim-esque role-playing experience for when your character is on the ground. I know it got middling reviews, but I'm enjoying the game so far. Perhaps because, at least to my eye, it feels like a massively updated version of Wing Commander Privateer. 00:09:43 Main Topic: Seven of the Most Inaccurate Movies About Writers Now we're 10 minutes into the show and still haven't gotten to our main topic, so I think it's time we should finally do that, which is Seven of the Most Inaccurate Movies About Writers. I decided to do this because I noticed that whenever a novelist or a writer of fiction turns up in a movie, the depiction of it tends to be grossly inaccurate. That's hardly unique to writers. The joke among the military officers, former military officers, and law enforcement officers is that whenever the military or law enforcement turns up on TV, you can have a good drinking game by counting all the inaccuracies and things that they get wrong. So why should writing be any different? I think the difference might be that writing is kind of a more aspirational career, where it's the sort of career that people tend to daydream about, like going off and becoming a writer and so they tend to get a lot of things wrong about that. So with the help of my transcriptionist, we pulled together a list of seven of the most inaccurate movies about writing. There's actually a couple of Hallmark movies on here, and this isn't to bash on Hallmark movies. I think Hallmark movies tend to be about the fantasy of romance in the way that a show like Law and Order is about the fantasy of law enforcement and criminal justice, or a movie like John Wick is about the fantasy of violence or a game like SimCity is about the fantasy of managing a large city. The reality is of none of these things are nothing like the way they're portrayed in fiction, but instead, Law and Order is about the fantasy of what we would like the criminal justice system to be like and John Wick is kind of like, you know, a revenge fantasy of what we imagine we would do if someone actually shot our dog. So with that in mind, let's look at seven of the most inaccurate movies we found about writing. The first one is called Winter Love Story from Hallmark in 2019. It kind of deserves the 22% it got in the Rotten Tomatometer. The plot is a debut writer who wrote a memoir is appearing on a book tour of a famous fantasy author in order to boost her sales. They travel around visiting charming bed and breakfasts with plenty of time to talk about their feelings. The fantasy writer has a dog that he really loves a lot. The movie really revolves more around the dog more than the books. Now, why is this a bad movie about writing? For one thing, it has an unrealistic view of book tours, namely that a debut writer who is writing a memoir (which is a notoriously hard to sell genre) would be given such a lavish book tour paired with an author outside her genre. Cross-genre of sales promotions here in the real world tend not to work terribly well, because someone who wants to buy an 800 page fantasy novel about dragons is probably not going to be super interested in picking up a new writer's memoir are about her failed dating life. The movie also has an unrealistic view of book marketing and the involvement level and commitment of traditional publishing staff. If traditional publishing marketing staff is marketing 50 plus other writers, they're not going to follow your whimsical book tour and give tons of advice and coaching along the way. Book tours really don't sell very many books in general, to the point where Brandon Sanderson, who is probably the top selling fantasy author in the world right now, stopped doing book tours in 2020 when COVID came along (because you know, everyone had to stop doing book tours). But after all the various restrictions lifted, he found that he really wasn't interested in resuming it because of the physical drain of traveling and it turned out it had no impact on sales whatsoever. Finally, the movie touts the very false belief that the skill of giving heartfelt, heavily autobiographical speeches is the essential skill in marketing your work. Honestly, if you want to sell books, you would have better luck learning how to use Amazon ads or Facebook ads effectively, but I expect that would not make for a very good Hallmark movie. The second movie we're going to talk about is Lost City from 2022, which I actually saw shortly after it came out because it turned up on streaming (I think it was on Prime). I thought it was actually pretty funny, but it was not terribly accurate about the business of writing. The plot is that a romance author is struggling to finish her book. While she's on tour with her famous cover model, she gets kidnapped and the cover model must turn into an action hero and rescue her. The plot very heavily borrows from the 1980s movie Romancing the Stone, which is also about a writer. The scenery in the movie is fantastic and Daniel Radcliffe plays the villain, this insane billionaire who kidnapped Sandra Bullock's character to help find lost treasure and their reactions were pretty funny. It's not a great movie about writing. Even the romance and romantasy (which is a combination of romance and fantasy) authors topping the best seller list right now (as of April 2024) do not have press tours that are more like a fan convention with a budget for sparkly jumpsuits and lighting effects, etcetera. Cover models do not get a lot (or even any) of promotion, attention, or respect from publishers. The cover model is given top billing on the tour along with the author, which just doesn't happen. One side note, what is probably realistic is the publisher trying to discourage tangents in full academic jargon by the author on her history related research interests. You will often find if you're reading a book that involved a lot of research on the part of the author, that the author is going to put that research into the book (whether the reader likes it or not). Our third movie is called Alex and Emma, which came out in 2003. The plot of this movie is that an author with writer's block has debts to a loan shark he must pay in 30 days or else the loan shark is going to get nasty. He hires a stenographer to help him church out a book and since it's a romantic comedy, you can probably guess what happens next. This movie was apparently very loosely inspired by the story of Dostoyevsky writing The Gambler/meeting his wife but is also apparently heavily inspired by the movie Paris When it Sizzles. Even with multiple sources of inspiration, it still received terrible reviews for an incoherent, unsatisfying plot. And why is this a bad movie about writing? For one thing, it treats writing a book draft in 30 days as a near impossible feat. Not to toot my own horn, so to speak, but I'm going to write the rough draft of Cloak of Titans in under 30 days. If all goes well, it will be well over 100,000 words. There's also once again the cliche that writing already must be autobiographical and reflect what's currently happening in your life in order to be good. If that were true, all my books would be about the adventures of a middle-aged IT guy, which would be kind of boring compared to epic fantasy novels. And another thing that's unrealistic is that the struggling writer gets a $125,000 advance from the publisher, but the publisher won't help him replace a computer when it gets destroyed by a loan shark's posse. Computers were, of course, quite a bit more expensive in 2003 than they are now, but still they cost a lot less than $125,000. So that part definitely didn't make sense. Our 4th movie is Not Another Happy Ending, which came out in 2013. A writer becomes successful but has writer's block when she's happy. Her publisher has to figure out how to make her unhappy so she can write again but falls in love with her in the process. And why is this a bad movie about writing? If following around most the successful writers in order to inspire them was the actual job of publishers, a few certain well known fantasy series might have at least one more book by now than they actually do. So we'll just move on from there. The fifth one is a movie that gets made fun of a lot and rather deservedly so: Eat, Pray, Love, which came out in 2010. The plot of this, obviously, is that a reader gets divorced and goes on a journey to Italy, India, and Bali in order to “find herself” and gain writing inspiration. Why is this a bad movie about writing? So many reasons! First, there's a sort of a cliche in poor taste that writers can't be great unless they leave their spouses, that their marriage is preventing someone from devoting themselves to great writing. Although the one thing you say for Eat, Pray, Love is that it's a gender flip as opposed to the way these things usually are in movies where it's the male writer who is being held back by his wife. The reality is that people with stable home lives are more likely to be productive than people without them, and this is true across all fields of endeavor, and not just writing. Another bad cliche is the idea that you need to bankroll a year of travel to luxury destinations in order to find inspiration to write isn't realistic or accurate, and in truth very, very, very, very, very few writers can actually afford this luxury. This type of thinking leads people to believe they need to go on expensive retreats in order to be a “real writer”, when in reality many famous writers rarely traveled. Examples: Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, I think J.R.R. Tolkien spent most of his post-war life entirely in England, etcetera. For myself, I do most of my writing either on my couch or while sitting in a $40 office chair I bought off Amazon Basics. That is definitely a cliche that you do not need to travel in order to write. In fact, travel can get in the way of getting writing done, which was one of the Brandon Sanderson's stated reasons for why he doesn't go on book tours too often anymore. Our 6th movie is As Good as It Gets, which came out in 1997. The premise of this movie is that a crabby, ill-behaved writer with some mental health challenges has a series of unexpected interactions that inspire him to become a better person. And why is this an inaccurate move about writing? First, there's a cliche that writers need to use a typewriter because a computer isn't as artistic or special. I know there are writers who insist on writing things longhand and or insist on using the typewriter and they have their reasons, but it's my belief that that is in fact very inefficient, and you should probably write on whatever method is most efficient or easy for you. And if you are writing for publication and profit, that means writing on a computer. If you don't like to type, you can dictate. There's also the idea I don't like that the idea that the reading public/critics will forgive terrible behavior or prejudice because of how brilliant you are. This is a fallacy you see across many professions where a brilliant doctor, a brilliant scientist, a brilliant politician, a brilliant writer, or whatever feels they have a license to act like a total jerk because they're so good at what they do. In reality, that often causes a lot of problems and ends up destroying the person's career. So that is a bad cliche, and one that if you're listening to this, I urge you not to put into practice in your daily life. Our seventh and final movie is another Hallmark one called A Novel Romance, which came out in 2015. In this story, a male romance writer who uses a pen name meets a female book reviewer who is unaware of his true identity even as they grow closer. Will pressure from his publisher to reveal his true identity hurt their budding romance? What did this movie get wrong about writing? First, there's the idea that pen names are somehow deceptive or shocking, especially in the romance genre where it's very common for a single writer to have multiple pen names. A professional book critic would consider it a very strong possibility that someone is writing under a pen name, which makes you wonder how competent the book critic is as a book critic. Publishers do not send limos to the airport for writers traveling to their personal vacation homes. If a writer is rich enough to have a limo and a personal vacation home, the writer is probably paying for it him or herself. The publisher is not. Most writing is not done on a legal pad while staring out onto the water next to your very expensive boat. Your agent, even a very nice agent (if such a thing exists) will not fly across the country multiple times in order to give you romantic advice. And finally, an author's pen name reveal would not be front page tabloid news. So those are just some of the things that movie got wrong about writing. So there those are 7 movies that are very inaccurate about what being a writer is like, and the point of that was not to pick on those movies (with the possible exception of Eat, Pray, Love, which deserves to be picked on) but to point out that the way they referenced what being a writer was like was often quite inaccurate, even if the movies themselves may or may not have been enjoyable for their intended audience. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found it useful and a word of thanks to my transcriptionist help me to pull this list together because she's definitely seen more Hallmark movies than I have.

Part 2: Wet Racists. Never exclude Romulans, they exclude you. You need friends to reality-check you when you want to be, say, a Starfleet Admiral. Somehow Odo is the least fascist wet fascist.

An interesting slant on both the animal companion and the soul mate tropes, is the 'soul bonded animal' trope. It's been popular in sci-fi and fantasy for many decades but is reaching new levels of popularity with the recent wave of new fantasy.  But what is it about being emotionally and psychically connected to an animal - especially a fantastical animal - which captures the imagination? Why is it so much easier to swallow than the equally intense (in a different direction) fated mates trope? And just how can the soul-bound animal companion help move on the story and shape the main characters arc? Follow the dragons down the rabbit hole this week as they delve in to all these questions and more. On the slab: Fourth Wing - Rebecca Yarros, The Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey, Hid Dark Materials - Philip Pullman, Faebound -  Saari El-Arifi and many more.

Unfortunately, Lauren couldn't make it, but the remaining gang soldiers on without her and discusses captivity and survival stories. Aileen re-read Flowers in the Attic by V. C. Andrews and found that her opinion of this once beloved book had changed drastically since her teen years. Many of the things she adored about this “forbidden read” shocked her now, and the gang discussed how the Me Too movement has changed the way many books are viewed.Alisa went full boy vs. nature with Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. This beautifully written book was a much-needed reminder of hope and self-reliance for Alisa after her encounter with Lord of the Flies last week, and she would highly recommend this book to parents to read with their middle-grade children.Josie has her own story of survival to gush about with Dragonsinger by one of her greatest writing heroes, Anne McCaffrey. Part of the first fantasy series that Josie ever read—The Dragonriders of Pern—this feminist portrayal of a young girl who survives in a dangerous world on her own is still a cherished source of inspiration to Josie.

Olá RPGistas! Hoje no RPGizando Diversão & Dados é dia de Dado Aleatório com a participação do Stefan. Baixa fantasia é um subgênero da fantasia, envolvendo "acontecimentos irracionais que não são casuais uma vez que ocorrem no mundo real, onde tais coisas não deveriam ocorrer". Histórias de baixa fantasia são definidas no mundo real e são contrastadas com as histórias de alta fantasia que acontecem num mundo completamente ficcional com seu próprio conjunto de regras e leis físicas. A baixa fantasia se apresenta em duas maneiras: na urbana que ocorre na contemporaneidade e na histórica. The Dragonriders of Pern: ‎O Pern de Anne McCaffrey é um dos mundos mais memoráveis da ficção científica e da fantasia. Humanos e seus companheiros de dragão voador vivem com medo de ‎‎fios,‎‎um material cáustico e mortal que cai esporadicamente do espaço. Mas quando o fio não cai por muito tempo, as pessoas se tornam complacentes, esquecendo que são os bravos dragões que podem salvá-los da ameaça periódica. Mas quando o fio cai, heróis humanos e dragões devem lutar contra o flagelo. Esta edição engloba os três primeiros romances inesquecíveis da série épica de McCaffrey: ‎‎Dragonflight‎‎, ‎‎Dragonquest‎‎e ‎‎The White Dragon‎‎.‎ O que é Baixa Fantasia e por que jogar? - Um subgênero da literatura fantástica, que se apresenta como uma fantasia em baixa escala que apresenta temas e questões paralelas ou similares as da nossa realidade, sendo – de certo modo – o extremo oposto da Alta Fantasia que normalmente pauta a grande maioria dos cenários e sistemas de RPG. Episódios indicados: BF01 - Dragões - Parte I; BF02 - Dragões - Parte II; BF03 - Dragões - Parte III; GdJ03 - Gnomos, imprevisíveis e astutos; DA14 - Polêmicas e Preconceitos; DA12 - Criando uma cleptocracia; OS03 - Fuga da prisão flutuante; ES03 - HWF: RPG de Wrestling rumo ao estrelato!.

The perhaps truly immortal Long Month of Dragons has returned, and with it the world of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern.

"Ist es bald vorbei?" fragt sich Christian, der so langsam Lust auf Dark Souls III bekommt. Läuft nicht alles auf diese Burg hinaus, nachdem wir uns durch Wälder, Lavahöhlen und Giftgruben kämpften? Zumindest ist Drangleic Castle endlich ein Gebiet, in dem wir etwas über die Geschichte des Landes und damit ja auch irgendwie des Spiels erfahren. Hat ja nur über 30 Spielstunden gedauert (bei Felix 10, wenn's hochkommt). Dieses Mal gibt es also Lore, Schätze, Geister, Königinnen, eine Prise Silent Hill und einen der (potenziell) kreativsten Bossfights bis zu diesem Teil des Runs.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes author Todd McCaffrey! Todd McCaffrey spent most of his childhood on the East Coast of the USA until moving to Dublin, Ireland with his mother and sister in 1970.Todd J. McCaffrey (born as Todd Johnson) is an Irish American author of science fiction best known for continuing the Dragonriders of Pern series in collaboration with his mother Anne McCaffrey.The sale of some of his early short stories helped him log an impressive amount of airtime. He flew across the continent solo in 1989, attending Oshkosh along the way. After quitting his day job in 1990 to write full time, he repeated his solo cross-continent flight and attended the 1990 Oshkosh as well. Todd McCaffrey became a Writers of the Future judge in 2011 “The Writers of the Future is one of the premier awards that’s available particularly to new writers. It’s basically the only one there. This is a chance to open up the universe to reward people who are trying and striving and succeeding in creating great stories, to reward them with more than just a pat on the back to actually some monetary reward and some recognition and to give them a leg up into the world of a professional writer.” —Todd McCaffrey

Anne McCaffrey, in conversation with Richard A. Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky, from the Probabilities Archive, recorded June 29, 1992. Her most recent novels at the time were The Rowan and Damia. From Wikipedia: Anne Inez McCaffrey (1 April 1926 – 21 November 2011) was an American-Irish writer known for the Dragonriders of Pern science fiction series. She was the first woman to win a Hugo Award for fiction (Best Novella, “Weyr Search”, 1968) and the first to win a Nebula Award (Best Novella, “Dragonrider”, 1969). Her 1978 novel The White Dragon became one of the first science-fiction books to appear on the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2005 the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named McCaffrey its 22nd Grand Master, an annual award to living writers of fantasy and science fiction. She was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame on 17 June 2006. She also received the Robert A. Heinlein Award for her work in 2007. New York Times Obituary cover image from 1991.

There has never been a dragon quite like Ruth - he's small, agile, able to communicate with fire lizards, and has an uncanny ability to know exactly when he is. His bond with the young Lord Holder Jaxom is uniquely strong thanks to their unlikely connection, and the fact that nearly everybody else on Pern thought the diminutive dragon wouldn't survive to adulthood. With Jaxom set to inherit control of his Hold, the pair are banned from fighting Thread, their flying time strictly limited at the insistence of the Weyrleaders and Lord Holders. Stuck halfway between the Holds and Weyrs, Jaxom and Ruth decide to train in secret, learning how to fight Thread and how to fly through time. Their illicit flights seem like a small rebellion against the expectations of their elders, until they find themselves in the path of danger, and in a position to prevent the biggest disaster of all...

Welcome to the end of the hiatus! I'm mixing things up by posting this episode two weeks early for patrons! It'll take some work to keep up with it, of course, but I think it's worth it, so my lovely patrons have a little more of a reward for their loyal support. Dragonflight is the first book in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, and I think it's one of my favorites, in part because it is incapable of contradicting established canon at this point. (The strong female lead certainly doesn't hurt anything, though.) There is a balance between leaving your reader with enough questions to engage them and leaving them with so many questions that they're frustrated by the lack of answers. Where is the balance found? I have no idea. Let me know if you figure it out.

The Weyrs are full again, with old and new riders taking to the skies to fight Thread once again. But all is not well across Pern - the Oldtimers are struggling to adapt to the changes their centuries-long absence has brought, and F'Lar and Lessa must carefully balance their conservative ways against those of their allies in the Crafts and Halls. As new technology makes the Red Star appear closer than ever, F'Lar's brother F'Nor starts to look for ways to rid Pern of Thread once and for all... but at what risk?

The Dragons of Pern are the world's only defence against an ancient threat - Thread, an evil rain that devours everything it touches. Paired with their riders from the moment they hatch, they risk their lives burning the scourge of the Red Star from the sky. But the dragons are in decline - the Red Star hasn't posed a threat for generations, and the people of Pern have forgotten what they owe the Dragonriders. Only one Weyr remains, and the only dragon Queen is dying... F'lar knows that the Red Star is rising again, and that the ancient threat will return. His only hope is the last Queen egg, and finding a woman strong enough to be the new Queen's rider. But the villainous Lord Fax has other plans...

You know those infomercials that keep upping the ante over the course of their pitch? You've heard the phrase, “But wait, there's more!” Interestingly, they do keep adding stuff on in a real way, and the trained watcher will know to wait until the end of the ad to order.The same limerick of “wait, there's more” easily applies with today's guest, Dr. Alan Koslow, on this episode of The Delicious Story. As you listen, you'll get:A peek into what it's like to be a physician on the frontlines during natural disaster.The inside story as to how Alan and a handful of young people helped save Star Trek.A look at how a group of youths including Alan created the most successful walk-a-thon campaign ever deployed by March of Dimes, which later became the template for other organizations. Be assured that as you listen to Alan, you'll be personally invigorated to get out there and learn something new, yourself, and stretch beyond your preconceived limits. SEVEN MINUTES AND 20 SLIDESI “met” Alan when I heard him speak about his medical mission experience in Haiti at a Pecha Kucha event in Des Moines a few years ago. In the space of about seven minutes and 20 slides, Alan provided details of what it was like to go into Haiti after the earthquake of 2010 and provide medical support in an overwhelming situation of human suffering. It was a riveting presentation, in part because of how unfathomable disaster events can be. But I was especially intrigued by Alan's attitude, this sense of optimism he exuded as he spoke of the people and the work. Soon after, thanks to a Facebook algorithm, Alan popped up as a friend suggestion. I made the request, which was accepted, and have been a vicarious follower ever since. Several months ago, it occurred to me Alan would be a great guest, and I'm thankful he was game. A QUICK SUCCESSION OF LEARNING AWAITS YOUDuring the interview, you'll probably learn a litany of things (I certainly did), so I've ticked off highlights to help you as you listen to Alan share stories. Early on as we visit, Alan concedes that some of his friends consider him to be akin to the movie character Zelig. However, unlike Zelig “who was a nondescript enigma that took on the strong characteristics of the personalities around him,” Koslow is a dynamic guy all his own (as you'll discover).Here are some major points to assist as you listen: •See if you can almost smell the food which Alan describes when he visited his immigrant grandmother's home in New York.•Do you know which country serves the best MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)? Hint: there is wine involved. •Alan speaks fondly of Gefilte fish. I've never had it, but New York Times provides a well-rated recipe for the dish here. •March of Dimes Walk-a-thon is considered one of the most successful money-making programs for the organization ever. Alan explains how he worked with other youths to create the first prototype, a model used by organizations for their “thon” events as well. •Sir. Patrick Stewart, if you're listening there's still time to thank Alan and a handful of other teenagers for keeping Star Trek alive. It turns out the knighted actor wasn't too chivalrous with our younger man Alan. •Alan's memorable meals story has little to do with food and a great deal to do with his love of science fiction. You'll learn a bit about World Science Fiction Convention and Dragon Conventions in this anecdote. •And along the same topic of science fiction, I had not heard of the Dragonriders series or Anne McCaffrey, you'll learn about those here. •Alan's comfort food is an interesting take on a classic. •Look for Alan to be a published children's book author in the future. His story of his first effort to write a book for children is fascinating. Alan became a man of intrigue for me a few years ago because, ironically, he is a guy who is curious and enthusiastic about new ideas and people in general. It's an inspiring model. At the time, this interview was recorded we were only a month out from realizing we would all soon experience a worldwide pandemic. So now, most especially, Alan's thoughts at the close of the interview resonate beautifully. There is hope. There is always hope.

by Anne McCaffrey In our third episode, we travel to the planet of Pern and find the Dragonriders threatened on all fronts. Listen as Jack comes up with a really good point about how this book differs from most modern young adult fiction.

Hey There Story Fiends, Alle here. Welcome to another episode of There's Stories Everywhere with Alledria Hurt. I hope you're having a good Winter. It hasn't decided whether it wants to be Winter or Spring here and the trees and flowers are so confused. This week we'll be tackling a question: How do I cultivate ideas. I personally find ideas in three main ways: theft, mash up, and tropes. Theft is exactly what it sounds like. I hear or see an idea that I like and I steal it for use in my own work. Now that doesn't mean filing the serial numbers off to use a gun metaphor and then using the idea. There is a certain amount of me that's involved in it. After all, one of things often said in the writing community is that there are no two people who are going to go at an idea the exact same way. Because we each bring a certain amount of ourselves to any idea, we can each steal the same idea and come up with something completely different. If you haven't heard it, go back and listen to episode 10 "Mr. Ammon's Shop" which is a part where I lifted an idea of a sentient cabinet and used it, I like to think, effectively as a piece of set dressing for Mr. Ammon and his alchemist shop. Mash up is the process of taking more than one idea and tossing them together in a press and seeing what happens. No matter what, you're going to get something you didn't originally plan. I think my favorite mash up stories are the stories from Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series. Those books are a mixture of science fiction and fantasy where you have genetically engineerred dragons. It was also one of the series which first kindled by love of the fire breathing lizard. If you haven't given it a shot, try out the Dragonriders of Pern. Tropes is perhaps the best known way to get ideas. Before you get all huffy, remember there is a difference between tropes and stereotypes. Tropes come in many different flavors, but there are a few good ways to learn what they are in your genre. Firstly, read a lot. Read those who are writing in your genre and figure out what makes every book you're reading a little similar. Secondly, check out websites such as TVtropes.org. While nothing can be quite comprehensive, TV Tropes makes a good stab at it. Be sure to give them a quick look when you're looking for your next great idea. Now that we've figured out how to get ideas, we should probably cultivate them into something, right? Right. Cultivating ideas is a lot like farming, you plant the thought in your subconscious and let it grow. It's Inception, except you're doing it to yourself. If the idea is ready, you can see a character or a situation around it which will give it more room to grow into something epic (even if it's nothing but flash fiction even that can be epic). So in truth, getting ideas is more important than how you cultivate them since that's really a matter of time and thought process. Getting them is a different matter all together. So how do you get your ideas. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line at alledria@alledriahurt.com. You can tweet me on Twitter at ourladyofashes.

There's too much oppression required. There's this feeling like there's this wall between you and the world, and your whole reality is on one side of the wall, and the whole world is on the other. It's an oppressive wall, between everything else. You have to serve someone else. You have to play a role. You can't be all of yourself. There's too much oppression required. Exposure to radiation. Mental strain, abuse from the public, someone controls what I eat. The decay of the world. Doesn't matter how nice you are. Physical strain, obesity. There's not enough relaxing time at work.

What about what I want to do? What about my life? Sometimes, out of nowhere, it's like this moment of clarity, and what comes out is undiluted me, unmodified. And I feel lighter, so light, lightweight. So it's clear water, flowing through me, not being repressed, not being restrained. It feels really good when it happens. I want to do something else, I want to be part of a pack, or a pack of wolves, or a tribe. They eat together, find food, and take care of each other.

TCW Podcast Episode 094 - Epyx not Epic   This is an epic story about Epyx.  But don't confuse it with Epic!  We look at the computer game company, and the many bits of software that had influences at the dawn of home computing.  Everything from the first RPGs to action games that are remembered fondly, especially in Europe.   Not to mention the worldwide appeal of the Games series featuring Olympic events.  Sadly the company lost sight of its goals with management changes, and was gone by the early 90's.  However employees of Epyx continued to influence the video game industry for many years to come.   Starfleet Orion Manual: https://archive.org/details/Starfleet_Orion_1979_Automated_Simulations Invasion Orion Manual: https://archive.org/details/Invasion_Orion_1979_Automated_Simulations DunDraCon Website: https://www.dundracon.com/ Temple of Apshai TRS 80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiMtY5BxdM0 The Datestones of Ryn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BxkFETqcEA Crush Crumble and Chomp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiTFvwBllZo TCW 079 - The Six Children of EA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-six-children-of-ea/ Dragonriders of Pern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqIj8YWsWOE Pitstop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR-ELIpaxRw Jumpman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrsZ1bDy4Dg Atari 2600 Starpath Supercharger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsl65fKYsvk Impossible Mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivHFP3dJAkM Krusty Burger Olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVQkOc73uJA EPYX Sumer Games 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zDwjctkF5w EPYX California Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSp8XHpEKzw Atari Lynx Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdp4yn1B8x8   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

023- Killashandra- Crystal Singer, by Anne McCaffrey, 1976Wherein a woman goes on a tropical summer vacation!Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are back for their Season 2 premiere, featuring "Killashandra- Crystal Singer", a short story by Anne McCaffrey, from 1976!In today's story, the iconic Killashandra goes on vacation. ...That's pretty much the whole plot, and it's glorious because Anne McCaffrey is an AMAZING author. Clearly rusty from their seasonal break, Ruiz & Marguerite completely fail to properly convey how fantastic an author Anne McCaffrey is and properly give her props for her "Dragonriders of Pern" series, and the fact that she was the first female author to win both the Hugo and Nebula Awards! Seriously, read her books. And other books besides hers. Mostly, just keep reading.

Hannah time travels to her youth and Michael teleports to Pern to discuss Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonflight, the first book in the seminal Dragonriders of Pern series.   Links: Anne interview for the BBC; the best place on Earth i.e. Enya’s castle; Anne being sweet with fans; Real Estate Corner!

David Harten Watson: SQR Podcast celebrated another first by welcoming its first author, David Harten Watson to the studio. Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, and raised in Buffalo, New York, Watson grew up with his older brother Dale and his parents. He graduated from Calasanctius School and has degrees from Princeton University, Canisius College, and Buffalo State College. Currently, he lives with his wife (a native of Ecuador, not Eldor), their two sons, Daniel, “Danny” and David Aaron and two cats in New Jersey.  The mundane, uneventful day working as an IT Specialist allows time for Watson’s creative ideas to develop where he can later use them in his writing. As a child, Watson’s insatiable appetite for reading led him to reading adult novels by the age of ten. Being an avid reader, specifically in the genre of science fiction/fantasy, Watson was transported to fantastic places and he used his imagination to experience the adventures, which is what drew him to these novels.  A fan of J.R. Tolkein, he grew up reading The Hobbit  and Lord of the Rings. He also was inspired by Anne McCaffrey’s, The Dragonriders of Pern, and C.S. Lewis’, Narnia. Due to the high interest and multitude of fantasy and science fiction novels Watson read growing up, he was inspired to do the same. While at Princeton, Watson was a member of the student science fiction club, "Infitity Ltd." where he produced his first science fiction story; however, he never published it, and it has been unable to be located since. Some find writing short stories easier; however, Watson discovered the opposite was true for him as he was dabbling with different stories and writing techniques.  He explained how some writers need to outline their ideas first before writing; “outliners” and some writers simply just begin writing by the seat of their pants; “pantsers.”  Although he would try to outline his book at first, once he began writing, the characters would soon take on a life of their own and his original ideas didn’t always stick to the outline, thus making that process a waste of time.   Influenced by his favorite science fiction/fantasy novelist, Orson Scott Card, he attended "Uncle Orson's Writing Bootcamp" in 2011, taught by the great science fiction and fantasy novelist Orson Scott Card.  Additionally, Watson served as a U.S. Army Armor officer at Fort Knox, including all four positions: driver, gunner, loader, and tank commander.  These experiences, especially as a U.S. Army Armor officer, proved to be instrumental for writing novels since his first hand knowledge adds accurate, descriptive details during times of war. David Harten Watson is the author of the young adult fantasy series Magicians’ Gold, published by Pen-L Publishing, including Magic Teacher’s Son (a 2016 Eric Hoffer Book Award winner, 2016 New Horizon Award Finalist, and 2015 IAN Book of the Year Awards Finalist) and its upcoming sequel, Fortress of Gold that will be released in 2018.  Magic Teacher’s Son takes place in a parallel world similar to Earth in the early 1800s, except gunpowder hasn’t been invented in their world; however, magic is prevalent in their world. Watson used his son as the inspiration for the cover; however, because of his crew cut, Watson decided to have him wear a cowboy hat. There was some confusion later on about the genre because of the cowboy hat and as a result, the second cover was designed by artist M. Wayne Miller to unmistakably depict science fiction/fantasy; including magic, swords, and sorcery. Watson, as part of the Resistance, created a Twitter account, @LordOfTheTrump, anti-Trump; which is a Trump parody account where he takes Trump’s tweets and twists them around to be something from the Dark Lord Sauron from The Lord of the Rings and retweets them. Watson wishes to see a more equitable world and have people take care of the environment. Watson is a member of the U.S. Army Brotherhood of Tankers (USABOT) and the Mormon Church. He has also worked in a variety of jobs including camp counselor at Keewaydin Camps, teacher, tax preparer, car salesman, portrait photographer, track photographer, solar energy entrepreneur, and computer programmer.  Watson  is the Organizer of the Woodbridge Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Meetup, which he founded in 2008.  In his free time, he enjoys kayaking, acting in a no-budget horror movie filmed in New Jersey, and participating in Cowboy Action Shooting under the alias “Derringer Dave.”

Suzanna J. Linton grew up in the swamps of the South Carolina Lowcountry, where she was fed a steady diet of books, tall tales, and catfish. She started writing poetry from an early age before transitioning to fiction. While in high school, she was introduced to the Dragonriders of Pern Series by Anne McCaffrey, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Animorphs. From those Suzanna gained a deep desire to write about tough women heroes. In 2002, she attended the summer program at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts of Humanities and graduated from Francis Marion University in 2007. She has three books published and her latest novel is Clara’s Return. Suzanna continues to live in South Carolina with her husband, their two dogs, and a cat. They don’t own the cat; the cat owns them.  

Suzanna J. Linton grew up in rural South Carolina (really rural) and survived on her mother’s library, local ghost stories, and the tall tales her father spun for his children’s amusement. Books were her friends and they nurtured her imagination until Suzanna began telling stories of her own. After reading Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern […]

Our hosts discuss why the world is not ready for a Dragonriders of Pern movie, Annie has questions about dragon sex, and Maq takes us into the shadowy world of Pern RP.

Anne McCaffrey was the first woman to win the prestigious Hugo award for science fiction, and also the first woman to win a Nebula award. In her Dragonriders of Pern series she created one of the great fantasy novels sequence. It comprises more than thirty novels, most of which include dragons, and is notable for pioneering the inclusion of strong and effective women in science fiction. Anne McCaffrey died in 2011 at the age of 85, but back in 1990 Tim had the great pleasure of meeting her to discuss the  fourteenth book in the series, Renegades of Pern. They got on like a house on fire.
