Aldoth 10-03-07, 06:54 AM	Ok I'm going to use this forum to talk about the Novels. So first book is city of tower Characters: Really great. Loved each one they each kept me turning the page. Daine: Nice leader character that makes sense he was the commander so the others follow him. Lei: Nice light Romantic interest. Pierce: Good example of a Warforged this character gives us a glimpse into what it is like to be basically a robot. Jode: OK he is a Kender with healing factor. Groan. He did grow on me. The Plot: A bit of a head scratcher to be clear what the bad guys were doing, but I have to say nice to get a surprise. There were genuinely moving moments My first Eberron book was a rewarding experience. 8 out of 10 On to the second book in the series Anyone else got an opinion?
Vharuck 10-03-07, 10:29 AM	I especially liked the book for the multiple plotlines woven in, starting and ending in ways that reminded me how a good author can write a book where the reader is left without truly knowing how things will end up. Most books I read, the plot is introduced in the first chapter, and the plot resolution is foreseeable. "Artifact X is evil, and so must be destroyed" usually means the book's plot will end with artifact X being destroyed or not. In these novels, subplots will rise and fall along the way, but they seem almost independant and never really compete for interest from the main, predictable plotline. However, Keith Baker introduces multiple foes, allies, and situations that truly equal one another in importance and the reader's interest. The benefit to this is that it's nearly impossible to know how the novel will end, so the ending won't have lost any impact when it all goes down. The problem with multiple, equal plotlines is that it can be, like you mentioned, confusing. If a reader knows which plotline is the main one, he only needs to pay close attention to that one. But if he can't tell, it can become hard to remember where each plotline is at the time as he's reading. But, overall, I think Keith did an excellent job. A great book.
Aldoth 11-12-07, 04:37 AM	Second Book Review: The Shattered Land Dreaming Dark Pt 2 (Trying to be as non spoiler as possible) Characters: Diane: He had a great arc in this book with nice threat, that only really affected him till the climax. Lei: Lei and Pierce were the problem that I had with this book, but aside from that gripe I think that Lei got smothered by the plot in this book. Pierce: As above the problems that I had with this book can be leveled at the feet of this character as well. Jode: He didnt really have much to do in this book so not much character development. Other characters: Keith Baker gave us another set of supporting characters that really added to the depth of the book he made the places in Xend'rik come to life . The Plot: Much more straight forward and really a besides the frustrating elements of the book quiet enjoyable. Aldoth gripes about book two: OK my complaint is quite simple. Lei, Pierce and to a lesser extent Jode. I know what the big secret is about these characters . It would take someone not looking at the HUGE TRUCK of a plot twist to slam into me in book 3. I know and it is really annoying that the characters havent figured it out. I get that they don't know cos they aren't talking but come on. Lei needs to get a clue. I have to say that the reveal at the end and who is at the end is again a bit of a head scratcher and I am hoping that it all comes together in book 3. I really wish that this book had some of the characters that were established in book 1 oh and one final criticism. I hate the cover art work by Mark Zug. He is capable of much better. Aldoth praises book two: I did not see the twist in the last chapter. I loved the warforged. Harmatten is especially cool. I think that Diane had a really satisfying story and the glimpses of the Mourning was cool. Overall I know it sounds like I didnt like this book, but I did enjoy it immensely but there were a few things that I just felt took away from what could have been a great book. I have read that this is the weakest of the three books and from what i can see this book is certainly weaker than book 1 if book 3 can come back then I wont feel like I have wasted my time. Anyway I give this book 7 out of 10
Hellcow 11-13-07, 08:19 AM	Hi Aldoth! Thanks for posting the reviews. I'm glad that you've generally been enjoying the books. Just as a note, if you want to post spoiler material, you've got two options - use the format below, but replace ()s with []. (spoiler) Your text here (/spoiler) covers it with a black bar, like this. (sblock) Your text here (/sblock) hides it in an embedded window, like this. I hope that you continue to enjoy the novels!
Aldoth 11-13-07, 08:48 AM	Thanks Keith, I have been trying to keep my reviews spoiler free just cos I wanted a safe space for ppl to read and get a feeling without giving the game away. If this isnt the case sorry Ill fix any concerns you may have Just started the third book should have another review soon. Good to know how this works But I will try to keep this spoiler free if people want a more in depth spoiler opinion let me know and Ill write an updated review
Hellcow 11-13-07, 09:43 AM	If this isnt the case sorry Ill fix any concerns you may have Oh, no concerns. I just wanted to make sure you knew the spoiler code in case you needed it.
Rauric 11-13-07, 02:14 PM	I like the novels so far because they give me a little insight into the world. I am on the 3rd one amd am excited about the fae area they are in. Since I may be using this area in my campaign I hope it gives me a ton of story ideas. That is what I think RPG novels should do, inspire DMs and Players.
Aldoth 11-14-07, 03:32 AM	I am planning on what to read after the Dreaming Dark trilogy. Are there any books with Knights in it I love Knights and want to see how they are in Eberron.
Nived 11-14-07, 03:47 AM	Hrm, Knights? The Lost Mark Trilogy has a Thranish Knight that is a main character, but to be honest not my favorite trilogy. Heirs of Ash Trilogy features two knights as main characters. A Karrnathi born Denieth Sentinal Marshal Paladin of the Host and a disillusioned Ex-Thranish Knight Ex-Paladin of the Silver Flame. So they're the original odd couple! Wait... the odd couple was nothing like that... Still I found the trilogy quite engaging, often funny, with a lot of heart. Also has the best halfling ever (see my signature).
Aldoth 11-14-07, 05:45 AM	Thanks Nived, Ill check it out.
Ashlock 11-15-07, 02:13 PM	Of course I'm severely biased, but Marcy Rockwell's Legacy of Wolves from the Inquisitives series has an excellent depiction of both a paladin and a knight of the Silver Flame. His name is Andri, the son of a famous lycanthrope hunter. And you really can't ask for a better visual depiction, as seen on the cover (http://www.wizards.com/books/images/legacywolves1_800.jpg). I'd recommend it. :)
eehamburg 11-15-07, 03:09 PM	Of course I'm severely biased Why are you biased?
Ashlock 11-15-07, 03:13 PM	Oh, heh. Because my book (http://www.amazon.com/Darkwood-Mask-Inquisitives-Book/dp/0786949708/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1195157567&sr=8-1) will follow hers in the series. :)
Nived 11-15-07, 03:16 PM	Legacy of Wolves wasn't bad I just figured out the mystery really early on.
eehamburg 11-15-07, 04:27 PM	Oh, heh. Because my book (http://www.amazon.com/Darkwood-Mask-Inquisitives-Book/dp/0786949708/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1195157567&sr=8-1) will follow hers in the series. :) Oh ... so you are an author and thus work with WotC. Why didn't you say so in the first place. We have already seen Nic Logue and His Infernal Bovinity in here and we knew that they were connected with Eberron. We didn't know about you. So ... welcome.
Nived 11-15-07, 04:45 PM	Could have taken a closer look at his sig Eeham:P Always good to have the authors and developers swing on by though, I remember Marcy Rockwell swung on by when her book was new.
Ashlock 11-15-07, 06:39 PM	Oh ... so you are an author and thus work with WotC. Yup. :) So ... welcome. Oh, I've been around the boards for a good long time. But thank you. I haven't been as active here in the last year.
eehamburg 11-15-07, 10:18 PM	Oh, I've been around the boards for a good long time. But thank you. I haven't been as active here in the last year. The more active the better. It is always better to have authors give their ideas and perspectives about Eberron ... helps to increase the fluff and make it all the more interesting a place to be.
paulcrilley 11-18-07, 03:41 PM	I lurk around a fair bit. I read the forums at least once a week, usually more. Can't really comment on any fluff though, (except for events and character in my own books), as I'm just a freelancer. Best Paul Crilley
mrockwell 12-04-07, 06:30 PM	I'm still around. Just lurking, like Paul. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any. :) Marcy
Belabras 12-04-07, 06:45 PM	We should retitle this the author's thread. Welcome (or simply re-welcome) ya'll. Glad to have you around. There has yet to be an Eberron book I haven't enjoyed.
Aldoth 12-07-07, 06:46 AM	Third Book Review:The Gates of Night The Dreaming Dark Pt 3 Sigh. Writing this review is hard, it was easier when I was just blindly posting. I now have most of the author community and Keith Baker is really nice on line. He is always helpful, so my first impulse is to just avoid saying anything bad or edit my review as I know that Keith will be reading it, but that is not what I am doing here. I might start a "Keith is Awesome because..." thread but I said that I was going to review books here so that is what I am going to do. Ok starting with characters: Daine: Daine is consistently handled well. He is smart enough to understand what is going on but not unbelievably brilliant. I have to say that he is one of the best characters that I have read in a fantasy novel. A part of this is due to the fact that he is an ex soldier and is written as one. Jode: Well Keith got me. Everything that I have said about Jode all the complaints that I had about him from book one completely gone now that his story is complete. Very clever and impressive liked it a lot. Lei: Ok so the truck finally appeared and it was almost exactly what I was lead to belive in part 2 this made reading Lei once she understood her role much more enjoyable. Pierce:I like the place that pierce ends up I feel that each character had a nice arc and Pierce is no exception. The Plot: Again I have a gripe. Book 2 and 3 are much clearer and rock along nicely but as the third book in what as far as I can see is a trilogy I have a problem. Aldoth gripes about book 3: Ok the issue that I have with this book is quite simple. What is the point of book 1. All this book is really as far as I can see is a sequel to book 2. The characters and plots that drove book one, the very reason that I read book 1 and picked up book 2 are barely mentioned. I also have an issue with the antagonist completely disappearing for 99.9% of the book. That and she is the antagonist from book 2. None of the mysteries that drove book 1 affect this book. Yes the mystery of what happened to the companions in Cyre is explained. But The very mystery surrounding Lei's status in the house, unresolved. What does the head of her house know unresolved. What was the point of what the bad guys were doing in book one unresolved and as far as i can tell no way tied to the Dreaming Dark. What is the deal with Grazen his actions have no pay off. Also part of the issue with this book is that Kieth has a hands off on the cause of the Mourning so tying a major plot point to something that really cant be explained was going to be a difficult resolution at best. This scene was handled well. Look my main issue with this book is the same issue that I had with Pirates of the Caribbean 3 it really isn't an ending. If Keith comes out and says there will be a book 4 and this will resolve the plot lines from book 1 then I am in and will probably rave about all 4 books. But as it stands right now I have to say that the book 2 and 3 have not delivered on the narrative promise of book 1. The only other thing that I will say is that i found the fact that 90% of the book wasn't even on Eberron a problem that broke from the style of book one. What I can add that is also positively about this book is that Keith has written a great Dark elf character. She also addresses the "Dave's character died so some random stranger joins the party." Nicely. I have never seen this done in fiction before color me impressed . In fact this whole series is brimming with fantastic characters. There are parts of the whole series that I love. Unfortunately I am going to have to say that as a final book The Gates of Night is lacking the oomph that I wanted. Sigh. I give it 5 out of 10 and the trilogy a 6 out of 10 (started at a solid 8 1/2) So after that review would it be pushing the friendship if I could ask you 3 questions about the books Keith?
Hellcow 12-07-07, 06:11 PM	He is always helpful, so my first impulse is to just avoid saying anything bad or edit my review as I know that Keith will be reading it, but that is not what I am doing here. Please don't! Whether or not I'm a nice guy has nothing to do with the quality of my writing. I'm reading the thread because I want to know what worked and what didn't - I need to hear the bad. And specifically, the issues you called out are ones I've heard from many people. The ending leaves too many things unresolved; the Dreaming Dark doesn't have a big enough role; the villain in question only really gets a guest shot at the end. All of these are valid issues, and if I was doing it over again I'd do things differently. Now, this is not supposed to be the end of the story for these characters. Essentially, I saw it as the first season of a TV show. It establishes the characters. It has a story arc revolving around a particular challenge, and over the course of dealing with that challenge, new issues come to light. So taking a character like Lei, it was never my intention to solve all her mysteries in the first trilogy; the point is that now she has a clearer idea of what questions to ask, setting up her arc in "Season Two". With that said, that doesn't help you, the reader. The problem is that *I* know all the answers, *I* know where the story is going... and I let that blind me to the experience given to the reader who doesn't know any of it and doesn't even know if the story is going to continue. So I've certainly learned a lesson, and as an author I apologize for the flawed work. In any case, my next novel does follow a different character - but I certainly intend to pick up with Daine & Co in the future and resolve the open issues. What is the point of book 1. All this book is really as far as I can see is a sequel to book 2. Book one is essentially a stand-alone novel; months pass between City of Towers and The Shattered Land, while seconds pass between the end of TSL and GoN. What book one does is plant seeds... some of which come into play in the rest of the series, some of which remain open. I don't want to give too much away for people who like to solve puzzles, but a few points... Book one is where Lakashtai forms her mental bond to Daine, which is a driving point in book two. Jode's fate in book one is obviously significant in the later books. And this touches on the main point... who really killed Jode, and why? I don't mean who actually wielded the knife, but rather how did he come to even be in the situation that got him killed? Essentially, there's a much larger scheme at work that plays across all three books. Watch for people who call Daine "Daine with no family name"... what's the connection here? Flamewind says "Beware coincidence", and that's a key point here; many things that appear to be random are actually carefully plotted, and the Dreaming Dark is only one of the players in the game. Who was Harmattan working with? What about Lei's parents? It's not an obvious thing, but there are clues there; I've seen people post the answer. And this is what the next story arc will delve into. The first trilogy really raises as many questions as it gives answers - I certainly intend for the next story arc to resolve many of these issues. None of the mysteries that drove book 1 affect this book. But without the events of book one, many of the things that drive book three couldn't have happened. It was the death of Jode that ultimately resulted in Daine acquiring the dragonmark he now possesses. So again, how did that come to pass, and why? Coincidence, or did someone want it to happen? And if so, who, why, and how could did they arrange it? Again, none of this invalidates your concerns; again, my having a grand plan does no one any good if the reader doesn't enjoy the experience. It's a flawed novel. But it is part of a path, and the questions of book one will be resolved in time. What was the point of what the bad guys were doing in book one unresolved and as far as i can tell no way tied to the Dreaming Dark. Mysterious ways, and all that. What the bad guys were doing in book one resulted in Jode being bottled. Jode being bottled and then consumed by Daine resulted in Daine having an aberrant dragonmark. So the point of what the bad guys were doing? Perhaps someone wanted Daine to have an aberrant dragonmark, to be merged with Jode, or both, and Chyrassk was a means to that end. The Dreaming Dark is a subtle force; it manipulates others far more often than actually getting its own tentacles slimy. Look my main issue with this book is the same issue that I had with Pirates of the Caribbean 3 it really isn't an ending. If Keith comes out and says there will be a book 4 and this will resolve the plot lines from book 1 then I am in... You're absolutely right. It's not really an ending. I do intend to continue the story. However, that doesn't change the ffact that it's presented as a trilogy - and it was a bad way to end a trilogy. My apologies for that. So after that review would it be pushing the friendship if I could ask you 3 questions about the books Keith? Ask away!
Aldoth 12-07-07, 07:41 PM	Firstly a response. Please don't! Whether or not I'm a nice guy has nothing to do with the quality of my writing. I'm reading the thread because I want to know what worked and what didn't That is what I realized so that is why I wrote the review. It was just one of those moments that wanted to be honest and was expressing that part of my brain that was preventing me from giving an honest review and I do appreciate your candor. I promise that I will always be honest with my comments and try not to be swayed by silly concerns. Book one is essentially a stand-alone novel; months pass between City of Towers and The Shattered Land, while seconds pass between the end of TSL and GoN. What book one does is plant seeds... some of which come into play in the rest of the series, some of which remain open. But that is my point you made an agreement with me when I brought the book as the author. When I read in the book. The Dreaming Dark Book One The city of Towers Book Two The Shattered Land December 2005 Book Three The Gates of Night December 2006 That tells me as a reader that I will get a beginning "The city of Towers" a middle "The Shattered Land" and an ending "The Gates of Night" which btw is a great book 3 title. So that has really affected my experience with the book If you had just said "The City of Towers" a novel and then in may of '05 you promote a book 2 and in interviews and in the blurb you talk about this is the second book in the "Sharn Companions" or what ever series then when book 3 comes out you can call it a conclusion to "The Shattered Land", while not perfect still gives me an idea that you are pulling a series here. But without the events of book one, many of the things that drive book three couldn't have happened. Yes that is true. But none of those things matter if my brain is screaming to me as I get to the end of book 3. "But hang on what about (insert plot point here) that is my point. Also for good or ill this is "The Dragonlance Chronicles" of Eberron at the moment in a couple of years not so much but from launch till now that is the stigma surrounding the books. It's by 'The guy' if I am a newbie and I cant afford to get a big stonking rule book and Im wondering what is eberron then this is where I will start with my reading. This is i get to taste the world and what makes it unique. And you tell me in book one that there will be 3 books so it is hard as a reader to not go ok here is this new eberron thing I can read the 3 books to get to know the world and it's people. Ok so my questions are writer ones. (I am a writer so I am using this as a pick another writers brain.) Why pick a halfling. I think that Jode works brilliantly once he realizes his potential. However it is hard as a reader to get him away from Tasselhoff when you first introduce him. He would have been better in my humble oppinion as any other race. Tasselhoff has to large a shadow over halflings unfortunately. (Damn what is his history. See this is what I was talking about)? Why did you not do the trilogy as mainly a Daine book (not being in the other characters heads so much.) He was the most dominant character and as such he could have carried the whole three books. I think that it would have made the whole book stronger as each plot point only really gets resolved once Daine knows it or it is told to Daine as that is when the characters let you know what they are thinking? How did the book change from outline to final book ( oh and like question 3.5 :) How many drafts did you do? What was the date you started the book on? I don't want to give too much away for people who like to solve puzzles. That is why I will always try to do spoiler free reviews. Mainly because I want this to be a place where bob the newbie can come into the forum and read a review and figure out what appeals to him but not have the book ruined for him. I want him to be genuinely surprised when he gets to plot twists. Hopefully I will hit that target. Thanks for your time Keith.
Hellcow 12-08-07, 09:28 PM	Ok so my questions are writer ones. I'll sblock my answers so as not to distract from reviews. Why pick a halfling. Jode's a combat medic with the Dragonmark of Healing - and the fact that he possesses that dragonmark is vital, since it's the combination of that mark with Daine's Deneith blood that results in Daine manifesting an aberrant mark. The Mark of Healing can only be held by a halfling, hence he has to be a halfling. Aside from that, it simply fit the picture I had of him from the start. Why did you not do the trilogy as mainly a Daine book (not being in the other characters heads so much.) For me, each character has something important to offer. Through Pierce, you can see my view of warforged psychology and the challenges they face. Lei gives the perspective of the artificer, Xu'sasar the savage drow. All of these things are unique to Eberron, and all things I wanted to explore. With that said, I did overdo this in Gates of Night - there was a little too much replaying of the same scenes through different eyes. I'll have to consider this balance when the story starts up again. I'd love to hear other people's opinions on this subject. I think this is the first time I've heard someone say that they'd rather not have had Pierce's perspective... but it may simply be something that never came up. Would other people have prefered a single-character narrative? How did the book change from outline to final book? The final novel differs from the first outline in many ways. Unfortunately, WotC takes its non-disclosure agreements very seriously, and I'm not 100% comfortable discussing it in more detail. Sorry! How many drafts did you do? What was the date you started the book on? The basic process was: Initial Proposal Sample chapter; series overview (including 1-page description of each novel and in-depth character descriptions). More detailed description of the first novel Chapter-by-chapter breakdown of first novel Begin writing ... with steps 3-5 repeated for each novel as the series went on. So the basic arc was planned from the begining, but the later novels weren't pinned down to a chapter-by-chapter breakdown. As for drafts, generally two, though some chapters more than others. And I began writing early in 2004.
Aldoth 12-09-07, 03:40 AM	From Hellcow For me, each character has something important to offer. Through Pierce, you can see my view of warforged psychology and the challenges they face. Lei gives the perspective of the artificer, Xu'sasar the savage drow. All of these things are unique to Eberron, and all things I wanted to explore.

Would other people have prefered a single-character narrative? That is cool and I don't have a problem with your goal. But from looking at what is sitting on my bookshelf I would say that the narrative would be stronger from Daine's perspective. I got a lot out of each of the chapters but it just didn't seem to forward the narrative in this case. But I think it is a good question is there anyone out there who feels differently from me. This is a forum after all. I have a question for all the authors that have posted on here. This is a part of the process that we don't see. How did you get your first Wizards novel? What race/character class would you love to write? What characters by another writer do you love? (Eberron characters would be cool for this forum.) Oh and what is your favorite sourcebook to use for writing Eberron (sure there will be the what ever is related to the book I am writing now) but is there any old faithful that you turn to for inspiration. Also i would like to know what characters other readers would like to see more strongly represented. Anyway back to reading. I will be starting "The Crimson Talisman" Tommorow. Should have a review up in a couple of weeks. Non spoiler as I can make it. Also does anyone have feedback about my reviews? Do you like my non spoiler approach? What book would you like me to review? Please let me know .
mrockwell 12-09-07, 02:24 PM	I have a question for all the authors that have posted on here. This is a part of the process that we don't see. How did you get your first Wizards novel?

Oh and what is your favorite sourcebook to use for writing Eberron (sure there will be the what ever is related to the book I am writing now) but is there any old faithful that you turn to for inspiration. I got my first Wizards novel through perseverance and luck. I submitted to the Maiden of Pain open call way back when and got shortlisted. I had an opportunity to submit a proposal for another FR novel, but didn't get that one. Then the Eberron open call came up, and I submitted a proposal for that. Again, I got shortlisted, and later had an opportunity to submit a proposal for the Inquisitives series. Interestingly enough, Legacy of Wolves was not the novel I proposed, but I got the job anyway. The rest is, as they say, history. ;) I personally love Paul's Wren Abraxis, but that may be because I got to meet him before anyone else. ;) As for sourcebooks, I use the ECS and Five Nations most frequently, though Races of Eberron and Magic of Eberron are also heavily bookmarked. Thanks for the questions! :) Marcy
Aldoth 12-09-07, 08:08 PM	Thank you for your reply Marcy. The only other question that I have is what class race combo would you like to write that you havent had the opportunity to write? Or monster you want to put in the book?
mrockwell 12-11-07, 04:21 PM	Hmmm...maybe a psiforged. I like the idea of blending psionics with the warforged personality.
Ashlock 12-11-07, 08:16 PM	I have a question for all the authors that have posted on here. This is a part of the process that we don't see. How did you get your first Wizards novel? My story is similar to Marcy's, although I didn't make the short list until the Eberron open call. Before that, I did RPG books for Goodman Games and simply remained well-read on all things Eberron. :) What race/character class would you love to write? What characters by another writer do you love? (Eberron characters would be cool for this forum.) Oooh, that's a tough one. My favorite race/class combo for gaming is elf ranger, but perhaps because of that I strayed from that in my first book. I've enjoyed choosing things new to me. As for my favorite Eberron characters so far...I like Ed Bolme's Cimmozjen, Marcy's Irulan, Don's Geth and Singe, and Keith's Pierce best. I have a soft spot for warforged. So it's hard to pick just one. Oh and what is your favorite sourcebook to use for writing Eberron (sure there will be the what ever is related to the book I am writing now) but is there any old faithful that you turn to for inspiration. I really enjoy the Eberron sourcebooks; I love the fluff of a world far more than the crunch. I'm very interested in the ideas in Faiths of Eberron, and I often refer to it. But really, you can't do much without The Five Nations. It's as essential as the original core book. Aldoth, you know, you probably can rename the subject of this thread by editing the first post. :D Moreover, if you or anyone likes chatting with authors, I'd really recommend visiting Worlds of DnD (http://worldsofdnd.com/forum/index.php?sid=2549c1389119502fce05bea8c4 2a289d) for that. A bunch of authors hang out there, in any of the subforums (Forgotten Realms, Eberron, DragonLance, etc.)
Aldoth 12-11-07, 09:25 PM	Ashlock I considered moving the thread and renaming it and it is a good suggestion however I feel that this is a better place for it as people are reading the novels or thinking of reading the novels who play the game (like me) and I want to have a spoiler free review thread. If other people think that I should move the thread let me know and if everyone thinks that this is the wrong place Im happy to move it. However if I am a newbie and I want to find out about Eberron this is where I would go first as this is the link from the homepage. But as I said I am open to suggestion. Also from searching the site I cant find the thread you refer to so I think that this might be a better place for it.
Ashlock 12-12-07, 08:19 AM	Aldoth, I think we'd all be on board spoiler-free discussions. But I didn't mean to suggest moving the thread. I'm just saying whoever's interested in talking with the authors might also consider the Worlds of DnD boards (another website altogether, not just a board within these boards), that's all.
