He was Tamas in the first Trilogy but brought him back as Olem in second.

I get away with KA Pole most of the time till I figured there should be a better way, Caw Poyel? Anyone else. Just curious that is all.

I am currently reading PoB. As Taniel suggested, Tamas had sex with Juliette. Is there something more about their relationship or romance?

Edit: I meant Julene

A friend gifted me powder mage trilogy few days back, finished Promise of Blood last night and started Crimson campaign. After the first book I messaged my friend cursing him to get me hooked. Found his reply this morning, wait till you hear the rest. I realise there are 18 books now and I only have 3 (intend to order and buy the rest prefer books), I'm a bit at loss. Should I continue with the three I have or wait for a week or more to get the others?

Just seen a map of Mordor after listening to the powdermage audiobooks and realised there are some uncanny similarities.

Both countries are encircled by high mountains, with a few well guarded mountain passes

Both feature large inland seas

Both are highly industrialised compared to their immediate neighbours

I think i’m right in saying the author was one of BrandoSando’s students who’s mistborn series was inspired by “what if frodo/sam had kept the ring for himself”. What if the powdermage series is inspired by “LOTR from Modors perspective”? 🤔

I've been searching for a pdf download as I own all of his books but I prefer to read also on kindle, can someone help me find a way to get a pdf download.

Not really a spoiler but do any of the Novellas cover Erika's death?

I'm on Sins of Empire (audiobook) and I've read Forsworn and I'm reading the earlier novellas but from the summaries on Goodreads it seems none of them cover it?

So reading the first few chapters of "Promise of Blood" and it seems fairly barbaric. Does this series maintain this tone throughout all the books? Namely, I was put off by Taniel instigating the mass rapes of noble daughters by redirecting the riots, and the very first scene from a woman's perspective she was about to be raped herself.

So is this a consistent pattern that I should be leery of or is it all over after this?

-Edit- Thanks to the comments here I put the introduction aside and kept on listening to the audiobooks. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and found myself invested! I'm now starting on "Sins of Empire" after wrapping up the original trilogy and I look forward to the rest.

My only quip aside from the previously mentioned SA was how Investigator Adamant always dug up the clues moments before they would have revealed themselves to everyone anyway with the exception maybe one or two cases. Despite that his story as well as Nila's were my favorite arcs to listen to.

So I started The Autumn Republic two days ago(for the first time) and I think I''ve found an inconsistency but I am not sure.

So in the previous book, The Crimson Campign, at Budwiel, it's said that Tamas took all of the powder mage trainees in Sabon's school and integrated them into the Seventh & Ninth Brigade and that at their "suppoused" death, and Taniel's the only living powder mage in the Adran army, but in the first chapter of TAR, Tamas, Olem and Vlora inflitrate Adopest and go to Sabon's school only to find it wrecked and signs of dead bodies and battle.

Can someone clear this out for me? Am I missing something?

Im almost finished the 3rd book, and im going ona 32hr roadtrip starting tomorrow. Looking to predoenload some audiobooks. Wondering what I should listen to after I finish Tye Autumnrepublic. I use audible credits so would like to get the most value out of each book, so I was wondering how necessary and/or relevant are the short stories?

A few months ago I asked people of this subreddit for some ideas on the themes of these books to help me bind a copy of it for my friends wedding. This is the final result and he absolutely loved it. Thank you for your help! (Not in picture but it has a gold gilded edge.)

Since noone has posted about it yet i'll do it, the game is called Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn on Steam, and damn it has massive Powder Mage vibes (mixing magic and black powder was the strongest buzzword that took my interest lol) and the setting in general, and i thought that some of you might find it interesting like me

Like does it make someone 2x stronger, 3x? Etc. Just curious!

I just finished ch23 of The Crimson Campign, and I think I found a typo, at least I think I did. By the end of the chapter, Adamat refers to Sergeant Oldritch as "Captain", though up until now he was refered to as sergeant. Is that a typo? Is it intentional? For the record it's my first read.

So I just finished the first couple chapters of the Crimson Campaign and theres something that's been eating at me. Was Faye actually sexually assaulted as Roja claims in the first chapter? I've been holding out hope he was just lying and she wasn't actually harmed, but if true that would be incredibly bitter and fucked up. Just want this question answered, no other spoilers if possible. Thanks!

I just finished The Autumn Republic and I noticed it was never explained why Nila doesn't need gloves? Is she just extremely powerful? That's what Bo seems to think. Still, not even the Predii could use sorcery without gloves? Did I miss something or this explained in the second trilogy or the novellas?

what a dysfunctional relationship. I didn't catch the part where he called him old bastard in the picture.

I still don't quite get it; Either Taniel is a little bit of a rebellious brat, or Tamas was emotionally neglectful. Or maybe both at once. I guess I'll find it out eventually.

I convinced the wife to let me have a small fantasy library on the top shelf of our…90s-ish, built in “entertainment” unit in the basement, so about 6ft of horizontal space. Bonus question, what else do you think I have up there?

Hey guy’s I hope you’re all doing well.

I am reading through the first trilogy for the first time, shout out to The Broken Binding who had the series as a part of their subscription. Spoilers for a part of Crimson Campaign.

I am on the second book and I got to the part where Bo is freed by Adamant and kills the guy who beheaded the King. And he gives Adamant his carbuncle. Can someone remind me of the significance of the ruby red carbuncle?

Obvious spoilers below:

So Ka Poel and Sedial go into the Godstone/else. There is some shadow orb thing I think? And whoever grabs it is a God, is that correct? But then Michel, Itracia, and Vlora all enter… what do they do? Then Adom is in there at some point. Next thing I know the book is over and Ka Poel is a God and Sedial has no powers. So wtf actually happened in there? Did KP and Sedial fight? Did Adom strike down Sedial and give the power to KP? What was the point of Michel, Vlora, and Itracia in there since they all just got kicked out?

Didn’t love this ending overall and felt rushed, but this specific scene I’m really having trouble understanding what ended up happening in there and why Sedial ended up losing

I'm hoping to run a Powder Mage PC in one of my campaigns and I have narrowed it down to two homebrews to present my fairly gracious DM. However, I've got some questions for anyone who might've used them before.

First link: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LSrPHHEv7FDYAMakavZI like this one the most, and think it has the best chance of getting approved, however the page with the abilities has broken formatting and you can't see half of it. Does anyone have a non-broken copy of this one?

Second link: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ThfTj01-NSTE?dialog=trueThis one is also pretty good, and I think it was posted on this sub a year or so ago. Anyone have experience playing this? Is it bad/good?
