...Sure...let's go with that.

...Yeah, that's what it means, Tizzy.

We still happily look forward to the next book ^^
(I dont want you to work yourself to the bone or publish something you are dissatisfied with, get a holiday!)

Here we are in the 7th month of the year on this planet we boringly call Earth (why don't we call it dirt?) I mean even Terra is a slightly better name. I just finished my 4th or 5th listen through of all the books (including Oak Orks of the Antilles). Still so many questions, still eagerly awaiting the next book. Author Guy, how goes the repairs of the kitchen?

Hey, still not as slow as E. William Brown. LOL

True. But at least people know he's writing. Used to, if a writer was taking too long, people started stalking them and trying to find out progress by looking in windows. And that's just creepy. I mean, who do they think they are, Tizzy?

BTW, Tizzy, things are getting a little busy this month and next, so I'll only be able to man the TAG window-watching rotation on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

That works for me, my peach eating friend is back and also able to take shifts. At least when he's not busy smacking--I mean teaching--Tom, Boggy, Antefalken and Estrebrius

Thanks

Tizzy

Given that Liquid Death had a contract to sell your soul for a case of water in a can, I am sure that between you and T-A-G, you could figure something out.

You can't sell people! They go bad in mail. Soul crystals, however, are shelf-stable.

We certainly can sell them, but you are right they need to be properly packaged so they don't spoil or dissolve after leaving the Abyss, or the Outer Planes.

Anima Jars are the most popular.

The interesting thing here is that Astlan uses Anima "Jars" for Souls and Mana Pools are typically thought of as gems.

But in reality, crystals work great for anima jars, typically an anima jar isn't really a jar, souls aren't jelly after all (unless you are a gelatinous cube, of course).

So despite the name, Anima Jars really are soul crystals. And mana pools often are, but don't have to be. Which can make certain magical items (mostly weapons) interesting because they can have both anima jars and mana pools.

What we don't have is any of those intelligent dungeon things. Or at least I don't know how to build one out of an anima jar. But, I'm not a wizard so....

I would think an intelligent dungeon would need to have a lot of mana pools, plus crystals with monsters in it? Or how do they 'spawn' new monsters from scratch?

Oops--apologies for the pejorative term--monster--dungeon defender I think is the correct term.
