So, where the heck is andustar???

Bregalad · 11-13-2001, 10:40 PM

How lovely to see a whole herd of Amber fans! I also have the picture book of Amber, but I've never seen the "big book" of Amber. Do you all know that there is an Amber Role playing game? It's big fun! I was a GM for a game of it years ago. It's a difficult game to GM, since there are so many possibilities! And your players can literally go off into shadows and do anything! But it was big fun. I did have to recomend that all my players read at least some of the books, it's just too hard to explain that world simply!

ringbearer · 11-14-2001, 12:03 AM

Welcome, Bregalad! I think they should give Amber its own section! Since Andustar has disappeared
maybe someone else can answer my trivia question about who Corwin's grandma is!

Hey, here is a Trump I foud online...if you want more, let me know!

Roger Zelazny is certainly a favorite author. The Amber series is possibly his best work, but some of his other stories are also great.

The Dreammaster, Damnation Alley, and Lord of Light are some others well worth reading.

Dreammaster and Damnation Alley have both been made into movies.

Enjoy,

Putz

Bregalad · 11-14-2001, 11:40 PM

LOL, ringbearer! I know who grandma is, and she's a fine lookin' filly too!

Lord of Light is very good, too! Also chek out "Creatures of Light and Darkness"! I have seen the "Damnation Alley" movie...the part with the killer cockroaches was way cool!

Remember this though, since she was a Chaos being, she was also a shapeshifter...so there was no beastiality involved!

LOL! Well you know that rumor about Dworkin and the unicorn was just a rumor, it was never proven. Also, I'm not at all certain about her being a shape shifter. She is the guardian of the pattern just as the serpent is the guardian of the logrus. They are not really like our other cast of characters. Which brings up an interesting thought: If she is tied to the pattern as the serpent is tied to the logrus, then she couldn't have existed before Oberon made the pattern and created Amber. But both Dworkin and Oberon existed before the pattern. So I think perhaps that rumor is a rumor after all.

ringbearer · 11-16-2001, 03:13 AM

Sorry to disagree...but...Dworkin drew the first Pattern. He learned how from the Jewel of Judgement that the Unicorn gave him! Re-read the part in "The Hand of Oberon" where Dworkin is telling Corwin(he thinks it's Oberon) of the origins of Amber.

Bregalad · 11-18-2001, 12:19 AM

Oops, I mispoke! My bad! Of course Dworkin drew the pattern!

ringbearer · 12-17-2001, 11:29 PM

Also, from what I've read...the Unicorn stole the Jeweled Eye(the Jewel of Judgement) from the Serpent. I think the Unicorn was a Chaos being because...everything was Chaos before the Pattern...hence (she) was probably a shapeshifter. What's weird, is that the Serpent's Eye contained a pattern! !

What are your thoughts on this...Bregalad?

Also...have you read his novel "Roadmarks"...another great time travel story! If you have, I have a great trivia question from that one, too!

mirrille · 12-24-2001, 03:26 AM

I just got the Amber omnibus. I'm on to the fourth book and I am absolutely amazed! It's confusing in alot of places, but that's because the politics are so convoluted. But then again, i like that kind of book. Now that I have a break from school I have more time to read. It's already looking like this series is going to make it into my all-time favourite list, and I usually wouldn't say that without finishing something.

ringbearer · 12-24-2001, 04:10 AM

Glad you are enjoying it!

Bregalad · 01-05-2002, 06:18 PM

Dang, Ringbearer, it's been so long since I read the second series I don't even have an opinion on that! Can you imagine...ME without an opinion of something! LOL! I'll have to try to dig those books out again!
I've never read the "roadmarks". Think I should try to find it?

ringbearer · 01-06-2002, 04:53 PM

Yes...find it(Roadmarks)...very good average size novel!

ringbearer · 03-05-2002, 02:02 AM

Just thought I'd "bump" an older post to bring out more fans!

mirrille · 03-05-2002, 02:15 AM

Hehe..

I recommended this series to a fantasy-reading friend of mine (I only have a few). I promised to read one of his favourite series if he would read Amber. He broke into a huge grin when I asked him how he liked it

and said he finished the whole series in a week because it was so good. Yes! Caught another one. Now to work on friend number 2!

Elbereth Gilthoniel · 03-13-2002, 03:14 PM

Hallo
I just found Zealazni's books in the labrary and I started to read Amber from the fourth book he was amazing (I read the last line several times just to be sure what she in saying)
I read all the 10 books of Amber (in a very wrong order) and liked them.
My friends didn't liked them!

you know interesting Zealazni sites

Elbereth Gilthoniel · 04-01-2002, 12:18 PM
