Thank god. Seriously.

Ugh, this series is so good... the switch between play styles is so good. drama!

Dreams can come true.

fuck yes! been looking forward to this all week.

@ravelle: Thanks for this! I'll definitely check some of these series out, too.

This is great! I'm a coward and can't fortress for dwarves, but i could just read logs from the game ALL DAY. Some of that shit is so hilarious (but mostly tragic), and it's the best.

Also, while China Mieville's Bas Lag series can be somewhat messy--though I'm a full-time Iron Council evangelist--I found these books super exciting because they break down fantasy tropes in some really surprising ways. I mean, can't think of too many fantasy novels that even attempts to consider what living in a large city might actually look like, particularly for the "peasantry." It's not for everyone for sure, but I think it's exciting and fearless in ways that remind me of reading the Left Hand of Darkness or Earthsea for the first time.
