For this bookling we began the excellent Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee with it’s first book: Jade City. This kung fu inspired urban fantasy has great worldbuilding, characters (loveable and hateable) and an extremely cool magic system.

Welcome to another Mining Media where we turn your binging into better TTRPG experiences. In this episode we're talking about Fonda Lee's incredible gangster fantasy trilogy The Green Bone Saga. This series is one of *very* few (maybe the only?) that I've rated 5 stars down the line. It has enough magic and urban fantasy to feel wondrous, incredibly emotional character development, intense martial arts action scenes, harsh betrayals, drugs, sex, crime, corruption, generational trauma and expectations... I could go on and on forever - please read it and talk to me about it!   Anyway, the take home points for how to make your TTRPG sessions better with The Green Bone Saga include: Hack your favorite system to use the Jade Disciplines as Stats (along with others for non-Green PCs) Consider using a relationship map/web to constantly keep pressure on your PCs from their connections, making every move dangerous in a faction-based turf war If your setting has magic, include a culture or people who are immune or resistant to that magic - how are they viewed in society? How do they overcome this? When making factions always have allied, antagonistic, and neutral parties to the party's goals. The Penitents & religious folk of these books are very cool, silent monks who are the ears of the gods - give them emotional, cultural depth   In the end, I think this episode was less "here's what to use in your game," and more "PLEASE READ THESE AND LET'S PLAY AN RPG CAMPAIGN IN THIS WORLD TOGETHER." If you're interested, please let me know. And Fonda Lee, if you ever see this and want someone to make your world an RPG, I'll help!   Download Rene's One-Page RPG One Last Quest and bring back your favorite characters for one more mission as elderly versions of themselves!   Where to Follow Rene Plays Games: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter/X | Threads | DMs After Dark email: RenePlaysGamesPod@gmail.com   Music in the Episode: Midnight Room by | e s c p | https://www.escp.space https://escp-music.bandcamp.com

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 17! This is the next installment in our series on ethnic enclaves that have disappeared. Today we're here to talk about The History of the Hawaiian Settlement of Iosepa, Utah. It was predominantly Hawaiian, but there were others from the Pacific Islands as well. Established in 1889 in Skull Valley, Utah, it was a place where Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders were able to gather in a safer, more supportive place that still kept them relatively close to Salt Lake City, Utah and the center of the Church of Latter Day Saints. It's hard to imagine going from the weather in Hawaii to the much harsher conditions of Skull Valley (especially in the summers and winters), but they did it… and they even thrived there for a time, growing the community from 46 to quite a few more. In this episode we share the challenges and triumphs of a community, and what eventually happened to them. To learn more about the area, you can check out the Iosepa Historical Association which is made of supporters and descendants of the original community.  In our recurring segment, we share what we're reading. For Ted it was the award-winning book Troublemaker by John Cho. For Gen it was the award-winning book Jade City, part of the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee. Hear our thoughts on these two novels!

Award-winning author Fonda Lee returns to discuss Denis Villeneuve's epic sequel that finishes his Dune adaptation where the Bene Gesserit's plan to engineer a savior comes into center frame. In episode 303, Luke, James, and Fonda discuss what Frank Herbert regretted after the initial release of his landmark novel, the many significant changes to the book and what they mean, the shifting role of Chani, the more villainous Jessica, a fetus-version of Alia, and how Denis is laying the groundwork for DUNE MESSIAH. They finish by casting their votes on which was better: the book or Part One and Part Two combined! 00:00:00 Intro/Non-spoiler 00:33:53 Spoilers 01:35:11 Book or film better?

When you've put your heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into building a world -- what happens when you then have to leave it behind? Most SFF authors will, at some point, close up their work in one world and start building a new one, but that comes with its own set of challenges! You know the old world so well; it's become comfy and familiar. The new world still has all its work yet to be done, and while it has the shiny lure of new discoveries, it also may seem daunting to start the process of figuring out how a world works all over again. In this episode, Fonda Lee and Melissa Caruso re-join us to discuss shifting focus from one world to another! Where do you start? How different do you need the world to be? We also chat about not just the mental challenges of clearing out one world to make room for the new one, but the emotional challenge of pulling yourself away from a place you love and know so well! Our Guests:  Melissa Caruso writes books of murder, magic, and mayhem. Her published fantasy novels include the Swords & Fire trilogy (THE TETHERED MAGE, THE DEFIANT HEIR, THE UNBOUND EMPIRE) and the Rooks & Ruin trilogy (THE OBSIDIAN TOWER, THE QUICKSILVER COURT, THE IVORY TOMB), all from Orbit Books. Her debut novel was shortlisted for the Gemmell Morningstar Award in 2017, and her books have received starred reviews and made countless Best Of lists. Melissa is a tea drinker, larper, and mom, and lives in Massachusetts with her video game designer husband, two superlative daughters, and assorted pets. Fonda Lee is the author of the epic fantasy Green Bone Saga, consisting of the novels Jade City, Jade War, and Jade Legacy, along with a prequel novella The Jade Setter of Janloon and a short story collection, Jade Shards. She is also the author of the science fiction novels Zeroboxer, Exo and Cross Fire. Her most recent work is the fantasy novella, Untethered Sky. Fonda is a winner of the World Fantasy Award, the Locus Award, and a five-time winner of the Aurora Award (Canada's national science fiction and fantasy award), as well as a multiple finalist for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Oregon Book Award. Her novels have garnered multiple starred reviews and appeared on Best of Year lists from NPR, Barnes & Noble, Syfy Wire, and others. Jade City has been translated in a dozen languages, named to TIME Magazine's Top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time, and optioned for television development. She has also written acclaimed short fiction and been an instructor at writing workshops including Clarion West, Viable Paradise, and Aspen Words. Fonda is a former corporate strategist and black belt martial artist who loves action movies and Eggs Benedict. Born and raised in Canada, she currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana's choice of topic: land. By default the Middle-earth legendarium is about a place that never was, however rooted in the actual planet we live on, and the range of details from sweeping mountains and vast continents to small roads and fields evident throughout the cycle of stories is a key part of what has made Tolkien's work so vivid and loved. Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are specifically about journeys as the key plotline, where characters move into spaces that they'd only heard about dimly or not at all as they seek to fulfill their aims. That said, there's certainly more than this to how Tolkien considers and situates the geography of his creation, including the in-universe explanations of that creation to start with and Melkor's marring of it. How has Tolkien's grounding of Middle-earth in the feeling of Northern Europe in general shaped perceptions of fantasy worlds since, and what authors and traditions have worked against it? What are the senses of how layers of history have both informed and shaped the land and the peoples who were and are there in the legendarium, and how does that emerge along the way as the stories progress? Have the expectations and experiences of quick and easy travel shaped our reaction to understanding how slow journeys are, especially on foot, as was the case for most of human history? And did the stones of Eregion indeed actually speak?SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle. And who wouldn't enjoy that view, we ask?The WGA strike is of course still happening. And you should still support it! And the actors too!And indeed, Andy Serkis's The Silmarillion reading is out!So yes, not only did a fan purchase the Magic: The Gathering The One Ring card by lucky chance, following the episode recording he sold it to hardcore MTG fan Post Malone. Truly this is a world we are in.The promo performance of “Now And For Always” from the revival of the LOTR musical is pretty nice! Performances did start soon after the episode recording and an initial Guardian review was quite complimentary.

Of course, when the Emmys themselves will happen is another matter.The Society of American Archivists' announcement of William Fliss's award for his continuing work with the Marquette University Tolkien archive.We meant to mention that fellow Megaphonic podcast The Spouter-Inn discussed The Fellowship of the Ring as part of a cluster of books about land, and then had Oriana on as a guest.Much of the Christopher Tolkien-edited History of Middle-earth series is essentially about Tolkien's decades-long process of setting down what Middle-earth actually was. Among the key books in the series in this regard are The Shaping of Middle-earth and Morgoth's Ring.I suspect most of us had our own Oregon Trail experiences.No, we are not going to relitigate the Eagles.

Hannah and Laura are finishing up the plot and discussion on Fonda Lee's book, Jade City, because these books are very long and they underestimated how long it would take to get through them. BUT FIRST: Laura has so many feelings about "Netgalley CEO" Emily Henry's new book and she started a new sci-fi show that's been a lot of fun. Hannah is unwell after watching the final season of a show that she treasures. A terrible thriller she read worsens her condition.Media Mentions: Happy Place by Emily HenryBeach Read by Emily HenryThe Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia HibbertPeople We Meet On Vacation by Emily HenryBook Lovers by Emily Henry@ronniereadsregularlyUpload---Amazon Prime VideoMarvelous Ms. Maisel---Amazon Prime VideoRings of Power---Amazon Prime VideoThe Wheel of Time---Amazon Prime VideoDr. Who---HBOmaxNever Have I Ever---NetflixHeartstopper---NetflixLove Hard---NetflixRoad House---NetflixParks & Rec---PeacockThe Perfect Family by Robyn HardingThe Drowning Woman by Robyn HardingSweet Home Alabama---Amazon Prime VideoThe Newest Olympian podcastThe Fall Is All There Is by C.M.

The Friends discuss one of their top recommended Fantasy books 'Jade City' by Fonda Lee, book 1 of The Green Bone Saga.   Visit our website: https://www.theftfpodcast.com/ 

Smack and Gabi announce the winner of their Annibirthday drawing and touch base on our Mysterious Galaxy Summer Bingo progress, for which Gabi has been tricked into reading a trilogy of three chonkers. We then catch up on some recent reads we've had in common. Gabi rage-quit a trilogy over a dead beloved character and Smack is still soaking in a book of incredible writing with a bizarre world of violin prodigies, deals with the devil, and refugees from another galaxy who sell donuts. We compare notes on frustrating worldbuilding and how to nip fascism in the bud, and conclude by yet again trying to remember what year it is. At least we're consistent. Main books discussed include: The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki Recognize Fascism: A Science Fiction and Fantasy Anthology edited by Crystal M. Huff

Friends, a sad day indeed has come. We have finished the final book in the incredible, the amazing, the one and only Green Bone Saga. What a wild ride this has been together. Chad and Evan discuss their thoughts on the conclusion to a magnificent series. A new trilogy of books will come to pass, and many more series after, but nothing will be quite as green as these books. Hats off, Fonda Lee. Stay cut, keke.

Y'know, the thing about the world is... It isn't static! It changes, all the time, and if you want your invented world to feel real and full of life, a great way to do that is to make sure it also changes. But how do you build societal change into your fictional world? Guest Fonda Lee joins us to discuss cultural diaspora, temporal shifts, geopolitical cross-pollination, and other exciting ways to show the natural shifts and turns of society. We also discuss how sci-fi seems to incorporate the idea of diaspora and change more readily than fantasy has often done, and we examine how magic might affect ideas of cultural shifts across space and time.

OUR FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!  Welcome to the Legion of Six by Fonda Lee.  Narrated by J.S. Arquin.  Featuring an afterword by Fonda Lee.  #superhero #fantasy #fiction #podcast #team   This young whippersnapper's name is Trevor Dutch.  Dutch is tall, blond, and chiseled like one of those Greek statues of Hercules that you see in museums.  He saunters into the conference room overlooking the Threat Chamber in the world headquarters of the Legion of Six (which is, for the moment, floating above Brooklyn on an anti-gravity field powered by the Continuum Stone) as if he's done it a hundred times before.   Fonda Lee is the World Fantasy Award-winning author of the Green Bone Saga, beginning with Jade City (Orbit).  She is also the author of the acclaimed young adult science fiction novels Zeroboxer (Flux), Exo and Cross Fire (Scholastic).  Fonda's work has been nominated for the Nebula, Andre Norton, and Locus Awards, and been named to Best of Year lists by NPR, Barnes & Noble, Powell's Books, and Syfy Wire.  Fonda is a recovering corporate strategist, black belt martial artist, and action movie aficionado residing in Portland, Oregon.  You can find Fonda online at www.fondalee.com and on Twitter @fondajlee.   Please help support the Overcast.  Become a Patron Today!
