Good god no... that mediocre series was enough for me... I personally want to see Goodkind start a new IP. He's got the descriptive ability to make you imagine anything, so I want to see him move to other projects. Honestly Richard and Kahlan need rest lol.

You mean that dreadful TV series?

Yeah that crap.

And as for a new IP, I could honestly see him writing a good space opera, and magic isn't necessary as is mostly the case in The Law of Nines. It is definitely a very unique form of magic though...

He is the type of writer that likes to dabble in idealism in the sense that as long as you have the fortitude, no matter what happens you will eventually prevail. And that would be excellent for a galactic saga.

Whatever he does I want a fallible hero... Richard is damn near close the perfection of humanity, corruptible, and thus predictable.

Why on earth an Opera???

Can't tell if your serious or not...


Space Opera

quote wikipedia

Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes romantic, often melodramatic adventure, set mainly or entirely in outer space, generally involving conflict between opponents possessing advanced technologies and abilities. The term has no relation to music and it is analogous to "soap opera" (see below). Perhaps the most significant trait of space opera is that settings, characters, battles, powers, and themes tend to be very large-scale.

Ditto! Though they'd likely make it based on the TV show >_< Or possibly a cheap MMO (you play a soldier, wizard, or sister of the light or something). Maybe they'd have a faction for the Imperial Order? (Soldier, Sister of the Dark, and Brother would likely be the main classes there).

Bleh, that just sounds... awful the whole game thing in general sounds like a bad idea...

quote Shadow of Death

BTW: Sword of Truth is the book series, Legend of the Seeker is the TV series.

duh... lol

As for other media, it would be up to Goodkind. He is notoriously protective of his franchise. No fanfictions or unauthorized anything. but I suppose thats his right.

quote Shadow of Death

Is he really that strict?

Yes he is, Fanfiction.net actually got a written request from him to be on a no upload list for any of his stories. And its a rather small list...

quote Shadow of Death

BTW: I clarified that LotS/SoT because you seemed not realize she was talking about the book series (talking about a SoT game), as opposed to the TV series (LotS).

I know, my point is it doesn't matter either way lol.

Yes, in fact it would, any more crap like that blasted TV show, and I'll probably knock myself over the head to put me out of my misery.

The point I'm making is that, If the TV series is made from the Book then the game is likely to follow the same path and be based on the book and even then based on what we have seen thus far it would probably suck. And If they made the game based of the TV show then God help us all.

Like I said either way chances are its going to suck. But one can hope I suppose (I guess thats the point of the book series in the first place, theirs always hope and do things yourself.)
