I love that patronizing attitude towards games and gamers from a guy who writes books about a macho monster slayer.

Actually, from what ive gathered from people who read his interviews and saw him in conventsions, they say that Sapkowski is a bit of a douche. Not a gigantic one. He's kinda popular and he knows it all to well. Humble isnt really the word people who have seen him, describe him as.

He's well known in poland for being grumpy braggart and a douche, though it's a matter of perspective I think. He's a bit like Xant :P some people consider Sapkowski as a prick, I think he's not 100% serious when he's bragging about how smart he is - he claims his IQ is over 180, he speaks fluently over 10 languages - or acting like a douche. I think it's his sense of humour, winking his eye at the public, though it's true that when he got drunk at conventions for most people his behaviour was unbearable.

Lol what a my old friend this book guy is

As to those of you itching to find out what happened to Witcher 2 hero Geralt: you'll probably be waiting a deal longer. "You aren't supposed to know," Sapkowski pointed out. "And you will never know. Or at least until I write about it and I'm not sure if I'll find the will to do so."

Question at the end of my post. Has anyone ever heard of Wiezdmin before the first game came out?
Other than some hardcore fantasy loving people and esp. Poles, I'm not sure.
I haven't. I watched trailers and fell in love with the setting, background and the rather mature dialogue/theme of Witcher 1.
Witcher 2 was a no-brainer after Witcher 1 and the same way Witcher 3 is a no-brainer after Witcher 2.

Just wish they gave a few infos about their cyberpunk game in the conference :?

I quess I get it when GRRM says he hates fan fiction. Imagine whatkind of retarded shit people would write, if they had the permission to rewrite GoT. For example Star Wars adaptions and fan fiction are generally completely off the rails stupid.

Has he said he hates fan fiction? IIRC he just said it's not a good way to learn how to be a writer.

You're wrong, he said he would not write continuation of The Witcher's saga, but in "History and fantasy" - interview book with S. Bereś - he clearly says that isn't out of question new novel settled in witchcer's world, just not a continuation or sth like that but a spin-off.

I dont think I'm wrong. Book youre mentioning was released in 2005, last time I heard him claim that he wont write any more Witchers was at Polcon 2012.
Mods compatible with cRPG. New crosshairs, textures, sounds, yay.

Getting drunk seems to be a common habit among fantasy writers at conventions, at least in POland. George Martin when he was in Poland few years ago, at convention which took place in Nidzica, drunk himself blind, at night left his house and slept outdoor, on the ground. Thankfully someone has found him before he caught a cold and died :P

I dont think I'm wrong. Book youre mentioning was released in 2005, last time I heard him claim that he wont write any more Witchers was at Polcon 2012.

Polcon takes place in summer and in May Sapkowski confirmed that he's going to write new witcher. Source:

20:30 He was asked about new cycle, so he denied, cause it's not a cycle but one book.

According to wikipedia. Yea. Believing it to be almost a copyright issue.

Most of us are currently living off relatives, friends, parttime-jobs or savings, to be able to work as much and cheaply as possible.

I'll be pre-ordering just like I did the last one.

Absolutely didn't disappoint then so hoping it won't this one.
