I did ... so I suppose I am safe... of course I did read most of that series..... and found it annoying.
Also read DRoP, LotR, and Glen Cook's 'Black Company' series.... among others.

Please dont waste our time.

What a crappy article. This genre bias is so tedious. "Game of Thrones" is barely fantasy. Great series with deep characters and lots of intrigue.

Hahaha, I read the article and cracked up.

Especially at this part.

“Six months later, he's made his own suit of armour and stands in front of the bathroom door saying 'You shall not pass, I am Krell the Magemancer'. If you try to get past he hits you with a rubber sword, shouting 'minus four strength points'.

You realise it's satirical right?

So, is The Daily Mash like The Onion? That was pretty damn funny.

I haven't read the novels but I've seen the HBO show a few times.

Lots of doggy-style.

Just looking at the previews it seems like watered-down high fantasy so "normal" people will like it.

I've read the books years ago, but if I can't afford GW models, how the hell am I supposed to afford HBO??!!?!?


The novels where rather well done, I did like the grey-joys ?? (the guys with the squid standard). But as I said that was along time ago.

I enjoyed the HBO series for what it was - and Peter Dinklage was great in his role - but when I tried to read the first book, I couldn't get through it. And it isn't because I had seen the series. I've seen plenty of movies, found that they were books first, and then went on to enjoy the books themselves.

Heck, I enjoyed the Dragonlance novels more than the GoT books, although the card game produced by FFG is fun.

I'm sure you can find it somewhere online.

Not that I or Dakka is advising or condoning that.

Boots of Escaping and Lightning Bolt are funnier than -4 STR,

Fantasy Football is just D&D for jock wanna-bes.

Love how it says
"next youll do warhammer"
like "next youll be a drug addict, doomed forever to sin and flame and a cruddy life blaarrrg." Whoever wrote this should be fired.

How can one man be so wrong?

Seriously, I get why anyone might not like the GoT series, at the end of the day they're just relatively well written pulp. But you liked Dragonlance more? I remember those from when I was about 10, you couldn't pay me to read them now. Something about your post just really tickles me (no offense) I think it's the avatar. I can just imagine this bearded, venerable gent smoking a pipe and saying "I enjoy dragonlance. [puffs pipe, strokes beard] Did not care for the novels of GRR Martin . . . found the collectable card game based on them mildly diverting though"
