Hi, I'm Pat Rothfuss. Welcome to my channel. In my normal life, I'm a fantasy author. My first novel is The Name of the Wind. I've written some stuff since then, but this is Twitch. Let's play some games.

I don't need tips, but other people do. Clicking the header will take you to the Worldbuilders donation page where you can donate money to help folks pull themselves out of poverty. These tips don't buy my groceries, they send kids to school, provide clean water for a whole community, and help women get the education and supplies they need to start a business where they aren't traditionally allowed to even make their own decisions. Best tips ever.

During the Worldbuilders Fundraiser, I'll be streaming regularly, playing games, doing Q&A, and otherwise hanging out. Until the next fundraiser my schedule will be: At my own whim

[Worldbuilders](https://worldbuilders.org/?utm_source=Twitch&utm_medium=Pat&utm_campaign=EOY) is a geek-centered charity that uses the collective power of readers, authors, gamers, and geeks to make the world a better place. I talk about it here from time to time, and you can find more information by clicking the header.

Please be civil to each other. We're all here to relax and have some fun, so don't make it difficult for other folks. - No Spoilers (for the game or the books) - No Racist, Sexist, Homophobic or Hateful Speech - Respect The Sword (the sword is my moderators) - Don't ask about book three, it'll be done when it's done. - Basically, don't be a dick. [However, as a community, please don’t immediately pile on someone who breaks a rule that they are perhaps unaware of. Let them know, politely, where they’ve gone wrong. The mods will take care of the obvious trolls.]
