Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: The Quiller's Mint - The Balcony

Don't get me started on platypi. I wrote a little thing about them some time back. It's around here somewhere in some odd crack or crevice...

Re: The Quiller's Mint - The Balcony

Depends if they were boy platypi or girl platypi. The easiest way to sex them is to look for the poison spurs on the back feet of the males.

Oh, and platyi are totally safe compared to drop bears.

Re: The Quiller's Mint - The Balcony

Mookey, oh you're a brave one, but, I fear, lost to us now.  The platypi have chosen you...and now, each full moon, you shall grow a beak 'n beaver tail, and be wild and furious of nature.

Re: The Quiller's Mint - The Balcony

I'd never heard of the drop bears thing until I read The Last Continent...but I've heard of drop spiders.  Very poisonous.

This sounds like a cow sex conversation. Where's Marian?

Re: The Quiller's Mint - The Balcony

Hey guys, I have a question...  Is there any way to tell whether a person has subscribed to Shadowmarch?  I mean, there's a bunch of people around here, and not all of them have actually subscribed.  So is there a way to tell who is a subscriber, and who is just hanging around on the message boards and stuff?
