    I’d watch “Wizard with a shotgun”. Or like a wizard with an old long rifle/musket who carved it up like a wizard staff.

    “You’re thinking ‘Did he use six spell slots or only five?’

    “pretty sure it was 6” exits cover

    shotgun racking

      The Rifleman, except Chuck Connors now looks like a younger, pre-beard Gandalf expy with runes carved into the mithril barrel of his lever-action

        This was basically an old Pathfinder character of mine

        A Paladin of the God of Community who used guns made of holy silver, loaded with blessed bullets, to protect his village from slavers and colonizers

        I even got the last hit on the General of the invaders with a bullet that turned into a flaming Jaguar to bite out his throat

      The Shattered Sea trilogy I guess

      I love Abercrombie, but I can’t finish “Best Served Cold” and I can’t read the rest of books if I don’t finish it first

          Compared to The First Law universe, it’s for children, a nice read, but meh in comparison.

          Damn that third part of the first law was so amazing

            The third book of the first law trilogy or act 3 of book 1 which is entitled the first law?

            Either way both ruled. The latter is where the curtains really begin to peel back and the former just hits so hard.

            If you can ever find a way past the blockage in BSC, the next book is excellent and Red Country is basically deadwood.

              The third book, the one which ends reavealing

              spoiler

              Bayaz is thoroughly fucking evil and a banker on top of it

              That shit is almost agitprop

                I read it before I was a lefty and even then it just made sense. Even to a person without the political framework to see that, the characterization and whatnot is so good that the reader arrives at a similar place.

            I tried the first book in the first law series and thought it was fine. Does it really pick up at the second or third? Or can I just move on to the standalone book I’ve heard was good?
