So I've been watching for this for a while, and I happened to google it this morning... But, it appears Showtime has landed Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle television series.

If they do it right, this could be their Game of Thrones.

The books, well the two and a half of them that are out (two novels and a little side-story,) are very good reads. Get in on it now while it is in the early stages, then you can be a book nerd critic with me if and when the show makes it out to TV.

Wish they would have picked up the Wheel of Time instead of Dena Stalker X

 If Not Wheel of Time  then maybe  The Stormlight  Archives......as you know they are actually being worked on.   Do not get me wrong I like KKC's but Rothuss hasn't pushed  the 3rd book since 2011......  Hes making GRR Martin look fast..

I liked Wheel of Time but there are so many continuity errors.

I think a tv series could correct that  plus I'm sure WoT would have a lot more content cut than GoT.  The amount of plots going makes GoT look like paint by numbers.  Which is why I also mentioned the  Stormlight Archives by Sanderson.   SA's are a very rich world and unique to boot.    The King Killer chronicles are a good read so far but honestly compared to WoT there's not a whole lot of action. Half the book is Kvothe  stalking Dena or playing a lute.

95% of WoT is descriptions of the clothing everyone is wearing.

The difference between my statement and yours is the size of  hyperbole.    WoT can be tiresome  and honestly it should be books 1-6  and 10-14  with  one book containing the plot(s) of  7,8, and 9.    KKC is 30% I'm the best at the university, 30% stalking Dena, 30% music  and 10 % old Kvothe his bud and Chronicler

You forgot a lot of stuff there in your percentages.

The Fae, the Ademre, the Chandrian, Auri, etc.

And it's Denna, not Dena.

I've not read any of the WOT stuff because, honestly, a lot of people describe it like PSC did and it sounds pretty uninteresting.

Rothfuss is widely considered up there with GRRM as far as modern fantasy writers go, and tbqh I think he does some things a lot better.

The Wheel of Time (#8)as of  June 2016 had higher  all time sales than GoT(#10 suprised me after the success of the show)  and the only "epic" fantasies higher on the list are the classics LoTR, Hobbit, Narnia and lol Harry potter #1 ......so as far as modern epic fantasy not for kids goes Jordan is top of sales and I think your doing your self  disservice to not read it because some people have bad opinions on it.   Their are many like myself who feel that WoT > GoT> anything else modern

Heard they were talking pretty extensively about it.  Is it confirmed now?

 

I also heard that it would only deal with existing material..... this prequel stuff would be more interesting if done well ....but ya know the Hobbit was the prequel to the Fellowship

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
