The last intro thread was created over two years ago, and we've seen a number of new faces popping up in the last few months, so I think its time we started a new introductions thread.

Welcome to the Flavor and Storyline board.

This  forum is for the discussion of anything and everything involving  flavor. Flavor texts, names, worlds, storylines, books, characters,  web-comics, the color pie, authors, fanfiction, and anything else that's  flavorful.

These  forums are designed to foster an open and honest discussion on flavor.  That is, feel free to discuss the topics you want to. If you like  something, you are free to talk about that, if you dislike something,  you can talk about that as well.

We ask that you be courteous to  your fellow posters. We also ask that you reframe from making personal attacks  against authors and artists while here. There is a long history of Magic fans alienating the authors that appear here and elsewhere on the net by simply bashing them senselessly. This does not rule out constructive criticism, and complaining is almost a professional sport for some of us, of course, but if this forum is filled with hate speech and irrational arguments then  there is little hope that anyone new would want to post here, and worse  still, little hope that anyone from creative would want to post here  either. So keep it cool, keep it respectful, and try to reserve your flames for the truly deserving.

What can I look forward to in this forum?

You'll find here great discussions on almost anything flavor based.

Furthermore, many of us are involved with the Magic: Expanded Multiverse project, which seeks both to archive and preserve official works of fiction, old and new, and to create a cohesive expanded canon for Magic, filled with art, stories, poems and comics created by the fans, for the fans. You can find the product of our efforts in the slowly expanding archive.

Also we are fortunate to have Brady Dommermuth, Magic's Creative Director post here every so often, and various authors past and present stick their noses in from time to time. Robert Wintermute, Ari Marmell, Laura Resnik, and Pete Venters all have appeared here, and still do from time to time, so keep an eye out for their posts.





In summary, come in, pull up a chair, grab your drink of choice and enjoy the company of your fellow Vorthosi. Vorthoses. Vorthosilim. Flavor lovers, shall we say.

Introduce yourself here, and be welcomed into the community!

I'm Jedi123, or just Jedi.

I' haven't been around much because of school and technical difficulties, but I still stick my nose in and post when able. I enjoy creating worlds and walkers. I am a council member of the Expanded multiverse, and have some of my creations there.

I'm one of the few regulars (if I count at this point) who actually liked Test of Metal.

I guess I'll introduce myself then.

I'm Arcades Sabboth . I'd call myself the resident Elder Dragon, except that I'm more of a perennial visitor, and hardly an "old regular."

As with my presence on any forum, some months I'm around, some months I'm elsewhere. My imagination has a one-track mind, so it only focuses on one fiction at a time. This spring it is Magic, but when it's not, I'll just disappear, to come back years later. That's how I am. (Or, you know, Gleemax decides to glitch my account for a couple of years.)



Some things to remember about me: I am very literal-minded and I don't always figure out sarcasm or humor online. I'm not good at "reading between the lines" and figuring out what somebody is implying. To avoid misunderstandings, I try to be very literal and wordy when expressing myself.

I also take pains to imply as little as possible when I write. This means that if I don't say something very explicitly, you should never assume I "implied" or "meant" it. Seriously. This causes endless misunderstandings.



Besides being a vorthos and all-around fantasy geek, I'm a giant science nerd, a mythology lover, and a horror fan. I am prone to over-analyzing  planes, settings, the color pie, flavor text, and everything else. I  have yet to get my hands on any Magic novel, but that doesn't mean I  don't care (seriously, I'm broke and my books-to-read list is several pages long!).

I  enjoy worldbuilding; to me it is an art and a craft to be practiced lovingly and carefully. Before this plane creation contest I hadn't really done it in a long while. I can honestly say it's the most excited I've  been all year, that I can remember.

Hello, Underwear_Ninja or UN or Ninja here. I mostly lurk here to get some ideas for DnD games, but I do play casual MtG.

I am a french dude from Québec, so don't go full anal on the grammar and spelling.
