    It's a collector. A bog-standard living person who goes about collecting dead people and selling them to a religious-type group who want everyone to have a proper burial.

    i think it is much more fun to go up in levels. It sort of shows how experienced you are and its fun.

    [​IMG] I can't agree on that Avooch!

    Spamming may be fun, but only for the one who makes those spams - IMHO :p :p

    And as I say, WB!
    What took you so long! :mad:
    If noone did, I missed your spams ;)

    Hey Tal, I'm gonna order Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomikon through Amazon this week, and since you seem to be able to mess with the false coloring for the pc models, could you make a paladin based on the color scheme I send you? Or hell, If its too much to ask can I do it and send you my avatar?

    Actually that's one thing I can't do. (Well, I could, but it's too time consuming. I'd have to paint it manually since the char models in the engine use placeholders and no real colours. The game applies the suitable colours later.) I tried taking people's submitted avatars before but it's way too much work because they don't know what the procedure of making a suitable avatar involves, so no, sorry. There's a page full of avatars you get to pick from and you're bound to find one that'll work for you.

    Anyway, if you're about to order that book, go through this link since I don't have the book listed anywhere at SP: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0380788624/sorcerersplace

    Oooh, I might order that one too! I loved his "Diamond Age"; it's amazing how complete the ficton is, he really goes into detail showing how the world got from here to there.

    Taluntain, I had meant to suggest (and this seems like a good place!) that you put some links in to hard SF and cyberpunk novels on your "books for sale" page. I am sure I'm not the only one here who favours those categories over fantasy, and when I click-through from your site to Amazon I'm never quite sure if they've kept track of where I came from by the time I'm in the virtual cyberpunk aisle. I'd be happy to suggest some hard SF books that every single member of this site should buy and read. :)

    [​IMG] Tal, a quick question for you. Do I need to be running cookies for you to get credit from a sale at Amazon? I bought Defenders of the Faith a few weeks ago through SP, did you get credit for it? I'm going to be buying a bunch more D&D books this week and I just wanted to make sute SP got it's cut.

    I mean I'd rather have you make the money than the MAN.

    Sprite, I still have a mile long list of other fantasy people requested that I should put online but haven't had the time to yet, so I fear that the SF books will have to wait, if indeed I'll ever get around to it. It would mean restructuring the entire html for the Fantasy Books section (there's no more room for extra stuff on the panels), and that'd take way too long. Sorry.

    Voltric, I believe I did, but I think there were more so I can't be sure. How can you order from Amazon without cookies anyway? The whole Amazon is based on numerous cookies that store all sorts of info. But if you went through a link to a certain item on SP I'm pretty sure it logged.

    These are pretty common question and I think I've put down all the answers at http://www.sorcerers.net/Books/index.php so check that for more info on the ordering process.

    As long as you click through any Amazon buttons, banners etc at SP or here on the boards (the bottom banner), the purchase counts as if it went through our store and I get a small commision. But even better, if you can be bothered, is to remake the Amazon url to seem as if you were making an order directly from SP. (This goes for items I don't have listed.)

    It's a simple process which will make Amazon think that you're clicking through an item from SP even though I don't have it listed.

    Just cut off all the characters after the ASIN number and replace it with our store ID. sorcerersplace for Amazon.com, sorcerersplace0b for Amazon.co.uk, sorcerersplac-21 for Amazon.de

    Example:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NZWS/202-2120435-3374236 is the original url
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NZWS/sorcerersplace0b is the url that would count as our store.

    I hope this wasn't too confusing... If anyone have any questions just ask.

    Read Snow Crash, a great work by Stephenson. Any future where the two largest world economies are Greater Hong Kong and the Mafia kicks ass in my book. :) :)

    And Tal, Fall-From-Grace was my top choice for an avatar but Darien already thefted that. :mad: :mad: So lemme try making the avatar first, it shouldnt take me too long as fullfilling a life I have :p :p So lemme send you it and then we'll decide if I should instead use yours, ok?

    I gave that avatar to Darien myself, so tough.
    And really, don't waste your time by making one yourself, because there's 99% chance that something about it won't be ok, and I don't wanna lose time over it telling you all the stuff that'd take to make it OK. Geez, you have plenty to choose from, don't be so stubborn.
