Kyle Aarons Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 First started writing this back in 1999... been a long road since then. Hope those who read likes it.

D'Artagnon Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 It takes a compelling story to tease me into reading fantasy works these days. I burned out on Dungeons & Dragons relatively early; when you're stuck running the games all the time, you learn to like it less and less. Still, the sword and sorcery genre is something i dearly love and have little tolerance for those that half-ass it. Along comes Kandric. I've only read one chapter but already I find myself really enjoying the story. There are all sorts of hints about future plot lines, characters that have those first few steps out of shallow first impression towards depth and complexity. The foreshadowing is interesting, as is how Kandric himself deals with the rigors of being stuck between two societies and the complications of his own promises. I am intrigued. Definitely looking forward to the emerging chapters. As I understand, this story already has a following and many chapters already out there. Please don't spoil it for me. I really want to read this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Aarons Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The more readers the better. Although, I will tell you I seem to have a large following in the Balkans Region for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken barber Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I found Chapter 1 intriguing and am looking forward to more. The story has dark overtones to it which is not my usual genre but the quality of the storytelling has me impatiently waiting for the next Chapter and has gotten me to dust off an old story idea I was always to afraid to write.

mjh66 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I am really enjoying re-reading Kandric Saga as it is re-posted here. I am really hoping that a new chapter is about to be posted since there is often a chapter about this time of year. Looking forward to more of Kandric.

Zergrinch Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ah, Chapter 6. I shall enclose my comments in spoiler tags just in case.This is the first time we see the merchant Gablon (it took like 5 pages to just get his name!) as well as Kaylaria's first speaking appearance. I can't say I like what I see of Gablon and her, for reasons already discussed in other threads. It's clear Gablon is driven by money, while Kaylaria is driven by honor. And both seem willing to go to whatever lengths are necessary to achieve their goals.I skimmed over quite a lot of Gablon's itinerary but when I went through it with a fine tooth comb to look for character names, I realized Kyle dropped a buttload of geography in the story.Both Aster and Pocet are developed further in the second act, which also sets up an action sequence so we can see what they're both about.In the third act, there is action in spades. Yes, the big bad seemed to go down very easily, but hey, gotta give Kandric a way to level up right? We can all but hear the DING as he reaches Teaching Echelon. This act cements the half-elf as a very competent bad-ass spellcaster, all but wiping out the Kandric we see in Chapter 1, and appears to be the first in a set of lucky victories he had.I don't think we get to know who exactly sent the hobgoblins and the demon towards Vondum's encampment, so I suppose Vondum wasn't really the target and it was just a random encounter.

mjh66 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I read a comment in another thread that seems to indicate that another new chapter in Kandric has been written. Is there any truth to this, and if so does anyone know when it will be posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergrinch Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Assuming that one chapter of Kandric gets posted every week here, the most optimistic scenario would be in 23 weeks, or by, say, mid-September There are other sites that host the saga which you can check (so far, they're only up to Chapter 29). A quick Google search for "The Kandric Saga" would easily find these sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeikor Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Actually if you go to the links page there is a link to one of the sites that has "The Kandric Saga", Wolf's Nest. I have now read all 29 chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reader2 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Kyle just posted CH. 30 at Wolf's Nest. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger0002 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just finished reading the latest. Very interesting, albeit not that unexpected turn of events. Keep it up, Kyle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergrinch Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, but Kyle, the tease, is withholding the MOST important thing we want to know. The resolution of the cliffhanger from Chapter 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger0002 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 At least we know there will be a resolution. I think that Wolfwalker still holds the record for the longest time between the initial mention of a situation and the actual resolution of it. I think it was somewhere along the line of 36 chapters of TEEP. I hope Kyle don't make us wait that long!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Roland Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Well... now you've gone and done it. you had to say it didn't you. now you know Kyle is going to have to try and beat the record..... geeee thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a little friendly competition. As one of your characters likes to say...."nothing boosts my ego more than being thrown out of an anarchy convention for unruly behavior!" Its a good saying and I like it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Kyle, what game system did you base Kandric on? Who published it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
