He's a hack fantasy author, if it helps.
Thinking about Gabbard in general, my animal instinct is to flatten my ears against my head, roll my eyes up till the whites show, bare my teeth, and trill like a cicada stuck in a Commodore 64.

Cain, I thought you were going to keep responding idiocy until someone discovered your "point", or the thread died?
Why are you so blatantly dishonest?
QuoteSava was an intricate game representing a war between two noble Houses—at least that was what it currently represented. Pharaun had seen an antique set that recapitulated in miniature the drow's eternal struggle with another race, but such pieces had gone out of fashion long before his birth, probably because no player had wanted to be the dwarves.
With its gridlike board regulating movement and its playing pieces of varying capacities,sava resembled games devised by many cultures, but celebrating the chaos in their blood the drow had found a way to introduce an element of randomness into what would otherwise unfold with a mechanical precision. Once per game, each player could forgo his normal move to throw the sava dice. If the spider came up on each, he could move one of his opponent's pieces to eliminate any man of its own color within its normal reach, a rule that acknowledged the dark elves' propensity for doing down their kin even in the face of a serious external threat.

It's not so much "outlandish" as "painful running gag", I would think.

I should have been more clear, and stated explicitly that I was finished trying to discuss your points with you like a civilized person.
On the other hand, I'll still poke you with a stick until the cows come home.
