I hadn't run across this before but I just discovered that Terry Goodkind, author of the Sword of Truth series, had died back in 2020.

Not exactly RPG stuff but those who like Sword and Sorcerer books, which a
lot of RPG games are based on, might enjoy his books. 17 I believe in that series alone. I much enjoyed his books when I started in on them about 25
years ago and it was excruciating waiting for the next book to come out
since they were quite long (550 to 800 pages usually) and he tended to have
one book just carry on from the last so it was critical to read them in order. Usually he only wrote one book a year so a wait for the next one could be a long one. 25 million copies of this series were sold.

This series of books was made into a 2 season TV series called Legend of the Seeker as well.

Just recently I found at the Library 2 of his last books that I hadn't read before. It's unfortunate those will be the last of them.. RIP

I loved his books back when I was a teenager, mostly because they were long enough that I had some time to really read. I had the problem back then of not having enough library cards to get enough books to last me for the week, as I could only visit the library once a week.
I also hated his books because I struggled so much to find them in the right sequence or at all, and sometimes had to wait months for a copy to arrive via inter-library loan. By the time the book arrived, I had lost track of all the myriad of things that had happened in the previous book.
I probably need to reread them now

This is also why I primarily only read the inline serialised stories... because they're online (and free) and the sites I use keep bookmarks for me of where I am on the stories. I've probably got over sixty currently running serials that I'm reading so it means at least 10 or more are updating every day so I have a constant stream of new chapters to read. Some of the stories I'm busy with dwarf the size of the Goodkind books which is also kinda amazing.

It's a long process to read them all again. Those first 11 books comprised
over 6900 pages. My local Library was pretty good about getting his books in
as soon as they were available but he took about a year to finish each book so it was still a long wait for the next one if you were caught up to his latest book and awaiting the release of the next one.

BTW, welcome to LitRPG Rob. Good to have you here

Thankyou.. I think I may have commented on the odd thing in the past and I
have been following the discussions here for a long time. I probably was less active since I hadn't gotten into many of the type of books this conference is supposed to be about, but you do get into other books at times so I figured
I'd mention my surprise to learn about Terry Goodkind, and sort of thought people into RPG stuff might like his books.

I read lots of types of books and my Library thinks of me as family. I stopped counting how many books I'd read when it got up over 3500, and now I sort of wish I'd kept closer records as I get up to an estimated 7000 books..
I generally have over 10 books out of the Library at any given time and own something up around 600 paper books cluttering up a very small house.. B)

That might be true unless you are the author of the Song of Ice and Fire series. George RR Martin stopped at book 5. It's getting to be TOO long until the anticipated conclusion which now appears might be two or even three more tomes.

No problems. I think I said it quite clearly in the elist entry that if it's even vaguely related to the genre it's welcome. I was quite disappointed that there are very few echos on any FTN that are truly active with real people chatting about topics that matter to them.

Dunno about desktop users, but I would guess that a vast
majority of potential participants are using smartphones. I
believe that apps like AfterShock and systems like TgBBS could
be the entry-point for many chatty folks out there.

Even *I* wasn't entirely convinced that AfterShock would be
viable. But its recent uptake on continued development bodes
well.

Yes, you pretty much have to look at it that way. After just finishing his final addition to the series, 900 pages worth, it strikes me as some things
can go on a bit too long. It gets to be too much of the same thing over and over again. I recently found a few of his books not in that series which may
be a welcome change from the old stuff.

I cheated and started in the tv series first. The I skimmed
through the books to find the parts that illuminated "more to

The dialog in the books was quite fine, I thought. The scene
where the dwarf kills his father sitting on the loo-throne was
quite an extended scene in the book. In the tv series, it was
quite short.

Sharon,
The beauty of you being a part of this chat with Telegram is that you really don't have to worry about it. it's something you already have and that you're familiar with. Where the tension comes in is that the telegram chat is connected to a different system of distribution of messages. It's an old school system and technically challenging to get access to on a cellphone if not through Telegram.
Aftershock is a newish app to make it easier, but even that still requires somewhat more effort than just joining the group through TG.

There are those who believe that if you haven't suffered through the trials and tribulations of struggling to get it working "the old way" then you're not worthy of taking part.
