  1. Part 5 | The Poppy War

    1D AGO

    Part 5 | The Poppy War

    Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 10 - 12! It’s not summer break anymore! Part 2 came in with quite the shift—and it brought war upon Sinegard, and our students are forced to be soldiers. There was some really powerful commentary on the cost of war. We’re learning more and more about the gods and the way they can move in the world. We’re excited to learn even more! Next time we’ll be discussing Chapters 13 - 16! Happy Reading!  Twitter: @litround Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LitRoundTable Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thelitroundtable Art: Kris Easler: https://www.kriseasler.com/

    MAR 5

    Episode 2: Creating Favorite Characters

    Today the SibNerds are talking about an element of storytelling they’ve come up against—one more recently than the other! What happens when a character becomes a favorite of the creator? This is something that creatives across genre and medium experience—from the novelist to the Dungeon Master! We may not have the answers, but it was fun to talk about it together!

    Part 4 | The Poppy War

    Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 8 & 9! This week we got to see how the other side lives when Rin visits Kitay’s home while they’re on break from the term. It was fun to see another side of the city—and to catch a glimpse of the Empress! And then the new term starts in a rush. Rin is learning how to meditate and use her powers. She’s on her way to being a shaman! Next time we’ll be discussing Chapters 10-12!

    Part 3 | The Poppy War

    Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 6 & 7! We’re finally learning about the quirky lore master—and so is Rin! Good thing, too, because without his help she wouldn’t have done nearly as well in the trials. Maybe we should all start carrying pigs up a mountain. Next time we’ll be discussing Chapters 8 & 9!
