I personally believe it had some level of info in there, like basic but helpful info, like a wilderness survival guide for the crawl. It says it was given to Porthus disguised as a blank sketchbook, but I think the bulk of the info now comes from the other authors

You actually made a mistake. It says in book 3 that Porthus was the first person awarded the book, so he would technically be #1, all of his notes say “Porthus, 2nd edition” because that’s the version he wrote. Carl is the 24th person to get the book, and his notes will write edition 25

I don’t think it’s ever explicitly stated exactly how it works, but does show Carl using the method like once or twice, I think it’s like move crate to dead body -> fill crate with loot inside body -> remove crate from body -> add crate to inventory. It mentions in book 3 that explosives inside backpacks lower stability reduction compared to just having them out. (Around the time Carl makes Katia’s first backpack) I think the same principle is being used to prevent traps from wrecking Carl and Co

No it’s not. It’s a method involving using a chest’s inventory so that items pulled from dead Hunters never hit open air. So that they don’t get blasted by lit dynamite or something, like how Carl did to Frank on the first floor.

I love this one, especially with the size of the hammer. Usually people drawl the hammer like Skyrim warhammer sized, it’s supposed to be so large he can barely move it without abilities, and this is exactly what I had in mind

At least until you start rotting from the inside out.

Stab them, and then microwave them for 5-7 minutes, then throw them on the smoker, drastically reduces cook time, but you still get a real nice, Smokey flavor

From what I have seen and experienced, friendly NPCs get death saves, very important enemy NPCs get death saves, random and generic bad guy NPCs do not.

Like it makes sense that they can walk though the smaller corpses, otherwise once you killed like 15 little guys, you’d be practically safe, but the fact they can walk though and we can’t shoot through makes it a problem

If corpses stop our shots, they should also protect from bile spewers and automaton shots. I also hate how enemies can walk though corpses like they’re not there, but the corpse of a charger keeps me from getting into pelican 1

What brand car harness do you use? We’re driving a lot more now and I’ve heard the whole “your dog is a 35 pound cannon ball waiting to happen” thing too often to not want to buckle them up.

Oh hey, it me

If you have the book on kindle (unlimited counts for this), generally the audible version is heavily discounted as long as your Amazon is paired with your audible account

We see him cut down and then gently place a tree on top of Vince that one time. Obviously his shadows are strong enough to lift a tree, no idea if they’re strong enough to throw one though.

I must have had a bad one of these once, it smelled and tasted truly awful. Not funky but like the inside of work boots after a long day working in a Texas July, haven’t tried it since.

I think most Cralwers are glass cannons. Can deal a ton of damage, but can’t take nearly as much. Like I think most crawlers would be able to 1-shot themselves if facing a clone. It’s much more entertaining to watch things go splat than it is to watch a death by a thousand cuts.

ROP?

Legends and Lattes actually has a prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust And yeah, I’m hoping to stick to progression fantasy for this trade

I haven’t read either of them, I’ll have to add them to my list

During the Stardew Valley Fair, he says something about Robin’s “carpentry stuff”. It feels very dismissive to me, he’s acting like her “carpentry stuff” isn’t the second biggest business in town behind our farm. She’s probably funding all his research

Running at regular speed lets them focus on form and be corrected by the coach when he can actually see the running form. It also builds endurance and strength. A lot of powers work off of a base, if your base is stronger, your power will work better. What’s the point of being able to punch with fire, if you can only swing for like a minute before being exhausted? Year one is building their bodies and minds before going at it with powers. They will also bring up later that they don’t have the kids go full bore fighting with powers because a lot of them don’t know their own strengths and can’t accurately judge the resistances of the others, so they can’t fight without risking seriously hurting each other. The one on one fights are different because each fight is monitored by an experienced staff member with a healer on standby, way different than a group of 15-30 kids flinging powers all over the place while potentially hurting each other.

At least with the Eagles, there are clear answers. The Eagles didn’t fly them to Mordor because Sauron had his own air forces and could have easily shot down or attacked the eagles in flight. A stealthy ground operation was the only real option. The eagles are also a very proud intelligent race, just as susceptible to the call of the ring as any of the Fellowship members, flying on their backs would put them in much closer proximity to the ring than say, Boromir. I do agree however that the couple uses of the eagles were very Deus Ex Machina, and it would have been much more narratively satisfying to find some other way out of those situations.

In case you didn't know. If you get a book on Kindle first, the audible version is usually heavily discounted. This works for kindle unlimited books too. I didnt purchase a single Cradle kindle book, but I got each audio book for $2.

I've started checking if my audible wishlist books are on kindle unlimited first, it usually drops the price well below credit cost.
