BEWARE as there are some spoilers if you are a recent convert to Erikmontism.

EDIT: kindly referenced by Adjutant Stormy.

EDIT2: just noticed a thread in the Kharkanas section by SpectreofEschaton on this, but I figure a thread in the Announcements section will help people find it too.

It was awesome to actually be able to talk with them. Really hope they decide to do something like this again later in the reread.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

To play a Malazan RPG with all the relevant bells and whistles, I would even grit my teeth and learn the accountants wet dream that is GURPS.

I would eat a hundred babies in order to get a Malazan GURPS setting published.

Could someone be a little more specific what the spoilers are for?

Esslemont drops a series-huge RotCG spoiler, but he provides a hefty spoiler warning. Just don't glance at the last half of that post of his, and you should be fine.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

Someone also talks loosely about some events in Bonehunters, but I think that post is after SE and ICE are done answering questions, so if you stop reading when they finish (around post 71, I believe), you should be fine.

I can not believe they claim that they have been pretty consistent with each other so far, clearly not true. They aren't even consistent with themselves!

Following on to Cam's response: we tend to cram in conversations at these conventions, which is usually the only place we can link up face to face. In fact, and as a teaser, Cam's been telling me all about the Darujhistan novel, which follows my Toll the Hounds. What impressed me yet again was Cam's ability to plot -- I can't wait to see this manuscript.

oh my god oh my god.

Karsa is going to be in this one I bet. Hopefully somewhere about 2/3 through he will come down from the hills and unleash madness.

I can't fucking wait.

"Pretty" consistent doesn't imply absolutely consistent. Its like when someone asks if you like the food and you say "pretty good" then they take great offense.
