Talk:Scott Lynch

Deeds Not Words credit
Scott Lynch is also the designer and author of the 2002 superheros-genre roleplaying game Deeds Not Words. (The name isn't just a coincidence&mdash;he thanks the people who play it in the Afterword of Lies.) His RPG design work should probably be mentioned somehow. 174.6.66.168 (talk) 10:14, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Bibliography / Chronology
This doesn't look right:


 * 4. The Bastards and the Knives (Forthcoming — Expected March 1, 2015)
 * 5. The Thorn of Emberlain (Forthcoming — Expected November 2014)

So the fifth book is expected in 2014, but the fourth in 2015? Can someone check on this?

Goodreads as a source
I've removed this as a source in the article. The problem is that pretty much anyone can edit the listings on Goodreads, so this makes it unreliable as a source. Odds are that the content is correct, but the fact that anyone can sign up and become a librarian makes it dodgy enough that it cannot be used. I've also redirected the novella to the bibliography section. At this point in time it hasn't received the coverage necessary to pass WP:NBOOK, which would require some sort of independent coverage like reviews.

publishing cadence and delays
Since 2016 Lynch has been delaying the publishing of the fourth book in the Gentlemen Bastards series, and has published little, if anything, else. The delays, and now his not addressing further delays of a book he says he has completed, may be worth including in this article, as it has been a source of frustration to his fans. 47.221.39.190 (talk) 05:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You should include that information when you edit the article. Be sure to include a reliable source. Rray (talk) 16:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Style
"Lynch is very much your standard-issue geek-of-all-trades; he likes history, literature, films, beige box-era Mac stuff, gaming, and game design." The style of this does not seem encyclopedic. It seems to violate at least https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Second-person_pronouns and possibly other sections. 184.160.6.19 (talk) 02:57, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
