    What was the last game you played before opening this thread? For me, it was Magic the Gathering Arena on PC.
  2. Apocalypse seems to be the new fad. What's your favorite? As for me, I've always been a huge fan of The Maze Runner series by James Dashner and Gone by Michael Grant. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. The Maze Runner series tops my list because the concept of a virus, created by humanity, causing widespread plague and societal collapse is spot on (before COVID-19, mind you). Here's a list of some examples: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4197.Be...ptic_YA_Fiction
  3. What's your preference? Why?
  4. What author(s) do you enjoy reading the most? List your favorite series by them as well. For me: S.M. Stirling (The Emberverse I,II) Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson & The Olympians/The Heroes of Olympus) James Patterson (Maximum Ride) L. Ron Hubbard (Battlefield Earth) Stephen King (The Dark Tower) I know I'm forgetting some, but I'll add them when I remember them.
  5. The Sword of Truth is a series of 21 sword and sorcery novels and six novellas written by Terry Goodkind. The books follow the protagonists Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell, Nicci, Cara, and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander on their quest to defeat oppressors who seek to control the world and those who wish to unleash evil upon the world of the living. While each novel was written to stand alone, except for the final three that were intended to be a trilogy, they follow a common timeline and are linked by ongoing events that occur throughout the series. The series began in 1994 with Wizard's First Rule and Goodkind wrote eighteen more novels in addition to a novella titled Debt of Bones. The latest novel in the series, Heart of Black Ice, was released in 2020. As of 2008, 25 million copies of the series' books have been sold worldwide, and the series has been translated into more than 20 languages. https://us.macmillan.com/series/swordoftruth
