The Best of...Windwhales
by Jerry Kalayjian 14 Mar '21

14 Mar '21

I've just gotten to reading the Best of Glen Cook. I was reluctant to reengage after being disappointed with Working God's Mischief, and feeling like I've been hanging from a cliff since 2013 wondering what has to Garrett. But I'm enjoying the stories, not the least because I think his older writing is his best. The little vignettes before each story are insightful, like Glen thinks The Dragon Never Sleeps is his best work (I'd agree). Did anyone notice that the in the 3rd story, In the Wind, which is related to the Starfisher's Trilogy, that there are windwhales and mantas, just like on the Plain of Fear in the Black Company? Best, Jerry Kalayjian

Shadoweavers in the d20 game
by Matt Cutter 19 Aug '20

Longshadow's minion who could manipulate shadows but had few other magical talents. How to model them? Shadow Mastery requires 3rd Magnitude, so that's a high-level wizard. I'm looking for ideas.

"Five actually survived. Journey, Whisper, Blister, Creeper, and Learned. But Lady stripped all five of their posers. In front of witnesses."

Rereading Instrumentalities of the Night
by Matt Cutter 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

I bought these in hardcover when they came out. Hey, new Cook gets bought, sight unseen. I remember liking them but not being that impressed. With pandemic downtime, I've given them a reread. I have to say, they've grown on me. There's a lot going on here, and a lot I missed that first time through. Does anybody remember if Glen said anything about a fifth book?
