SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: David RI always gravitated towards the more nebulous stuff - Wolfe's Books of the New Sun, are a particular favourite - so, I kinda off get where Harrison is coming from, esp since his Viriconium stuff is obviously how he thinks the genre should be approached - I don't subscribe to this view (not entirely), but truth be told, I've always been more interested in reading fantasy novels which is written in the way how he (Harrison) thinks it should be written. :shrug: Not that I think all fantasy should be written this way, only that I'm more interested in this kind of style.

know where I can get a set of Books of the New Sun?  Always were some of my favorite fantasy.  Amazingly, the guy lived within like...15 miles of where I grew up. I didn't find that out until much later.

My whole collection of New Sun books are made up of different editions. I think a certain sci/fan publisher (name escapes me :( ) a couple of years ago reprinted the whole series, along with some other critically acclaimed sci/fan writers. Major bookstores in the states should have them. Being from Malaysia, I get most of my stuff from Amazon :D
