Errr... no. The lack of Book Club scrolls for RAS's latest is simply due to the fact that I've neither had the time to open the scrolls, nor the gold pieces necessary to purchase the book.

However, if you could provide me with the number of chapters and whether there is prologue and/or epilogue, I'll see toward open the requisite scrolls over the weekend.



Prologue (page 1-24)
Part 1 - Chapters 1 to 9 (page 25-153)
Part 2 - Chapters 10 to 24 (page156-340)
Epilogue (Page 341-345)




BUMP out of the Vortex



He must not have SageApp up and running yet, to help him navigate his Vortex!

No, I think I'd need a Type-Sage TARDIS for that. *wink*



A Sage Shifter?

Sage Clones?

A Sage-porter?

Hmmm...Sage-O-Matic 6000... With increased memory?

Or how about a Sage-Sugar Mama - so you can quit work and begin Training Narnra to do as you say and not as you do in regards to the Vortex?

A little nonsense now and then, relished by the wisest men - Willy Wonka

Are you sure you don't already have one? As I understand it, one of the things Doctor Who is known for is his oft-changing appearance...

Maybe not, but judging by your avatar, you have changed your appearance frequently.

Heh. Then maybe the two aspects are related. Thing is, though, I don't change my avatar after sacrificing my life to save the universe, like the Doctor. I just change it on a whim. Suppose that makes me a kind of trivial Time Lord.

Perhaps you're a Thyme Lord, like in a Lego-based webcomic I read.

Aye. I'll work through the backlog sometime later today. There's a few other changes I want to make to that shelf first.

I wonder, why do some warn of spoilers in these halls? As the intro note says: "Here you will be able to talk in depth about the novel with fellow readers, and also be able to put your questions and comments to the books author."

Anyone who visits these halls should expect spoilers. So I see no need for a spoiler warning.

It's just a matter of courtesy, I suppose. Not every scribe reads the opening post, so it often pays to remind some folk that SPOILERS can and will be discussed.

Firstly, thanketh thee oh wise Sage for opening the scrolls for discussion of Gauntlgrym in the book club (albeit too late for me to participate properly ). S'all good though.
And yes, I have been known to clamour at said door, but I usually threaten to huff and puff before blowing it all down.

Well, I can't think of any Book Club that does not discuss a book in depth. By the name of this section itself, scribes should know there will always be spoilers.

Well, again, it just comes back to simple online courtesy, and a tradition of forum etiquette that has long been established here at Candlekeep. It doesn't hurt to remind folk that SPOILERS can and will pop up in discussions about novels.

After all, we can, and do, have novel discussions that talk about non-plot related issues -- like publishers, page-numbers, editorial decisions, marketing strategies and the like. And they'd hardly necessitate the need for SPOILER warnings in most cases. Thus, reminding scribes that a discussion may include SPOILERS, potentially prevents them from being caught unaware.

While those can also be included, it is a fact that a Book Club's purpose is to discuss a book in depth---the story, the characters, the plot, etc... Why wonder if there might be spoilers when one should know that there always will be spoilers.

Eh. That's assuming all folk tend to view the concept of a Book Club in the same fashion. And I know from experiences -- both here and in my personal life -- that some don't.
