# Game of Games

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” $_{RichardLingard(misattributedtoPlato)}$
"Logic will get you from A to Z. Imagination will get you anywhere" $_{AlbertEinstein}$
“Games lubricate the body and mind.” $_{BenjaminFranklin}$

## Introduction

Story Telling is as old as the human language. Role-Playing Games are a window into the world, as well as others and even ourselves.
As human beings, or at least as philosophers, we have to ask questions to grow and learn, as Socrates would say. Role-Playing games give us a safe place to explore existential questions that we otherwise couldn’t try:
* How does it feel to be evil ...?
* Why do the right thing ...?
* What’s the meaning of life ...?
* Why is there death …?
As asking questions is core to what role-playing game is, I’ve tried to question some of the old norms of the game and broken some of the norms established over years since
In the 1970s Gary Gygax created the game with Role-Playing games themselves were created by questioning the standard wargame, which has been played by humans for centuries if not millennia, to teach children how to fight and become real “men”.
Role-Playing games and it’s successors hopefully will teach us how to be good enlighted humans beings, and through play help us expand our horizons, work through our issues and trauma, and help us reach the next “level”
It’s a shared experience and a shared world -Private Language (Wittgentstein)
Universal and Generic, and Adaptable, allow change in focus and level of detail. Depending on the story, combat could be the focus

# History of Embrun/Saint Augustine-de-Catherine/Life in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine from 1845-1848

< Back to the Start of the Settlement

## Saint Augustine-de-Catherine: Life in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine from 1845-1848
### The Lumber Industry

The Lumber Industry was extremely dominant in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine from 1845-1848 and for many years after. Every day lumbermen would set out from their homes and chop trees near the settlement. These trees were loaded onto wheelbarrows. At the end of the day, the lumbermen would wheel the wood they chopped to the dock. At the dock, there was a huge room used for storing lumber. Every Tuesday boats would load as much lumber as they could as well as some people if they needed the transport and travel to Hull by way of the Castor River to the South Nation River to the Ottawa River. The journey was six and a half hours. Boats bound for Saint Augustine-de-Catherine would set out from Hull on Thursdays. Boats could not run during the Winter months, so lumbermen would stop working until Spring every winter.

### Floodwaters Reign

Flooding became a problem in 1846, when the settlers experienced their first flood. So, they decided to expand the dock to a height of two stories. They placed an extra large window on the second story. There, boats would depart out of this window. The settlers built this in 1846 so that their lumber industry wouldn't have to stop for too long. Many people disagreed and said that it was a waste of time and money expanding the dock. However, each year these disagreements grew less and less common as the floods happened again in 1847 and 1848 and continued for years after. The floodwaters, however, didn't stretch far enough to reach the actual settlement, although in 1848 the extent of the floodwaters nearly reached the southernmost log cabin.

### Government

Little is known about government administration of St. Augustine-de-Catherine during the 1845-1848 period, as Russell Township (where Embrun is situated) was not incorporated until 1854. During this time, the area was part of Ottawa District (which became Prescott-Russell County in 1849), which de jure would have administered Saint Augustine-de-Catherine prior to 1854. However, there are no references to any form of government in pre-1848 Saint Augustine-de-Catherine other than the citizen's council. Therefore, it is likely that although Ottawa District/Prescott-Russell had nominal authority, it was not exercised due to Saint Augustine-de-Catherine's remote location far from the rest of Ottawa District. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that government rule appeared to have strengthened after 1848 (when the road was built).

# History of Embrun/Introduction

< Return to Contents

## Introduction

Embrun, Ontario, Canada: A town of thousands of people. Many of those people know little about their town. Some of them don't even know the street names of many roads in the town, let alone the official flag of their municipality. In particular, many people of Embrun don't know much about their history. Many of them seem to know that 2006 is Embrun's sesquecentennial. The purpose of this WikiBook is to educate Embrunians about their history. I myself have searched high and mighty for webpages about Embrun's History. I have found a few scattered parts here and there, and now I put these together into one single reference that can be found easily.

< Back to Introduction

## Saint Augustine-de-Catherine
### A Brief Summary of Saint Augustine-de-Catherine

In 1845, a small community called Saint Augustine-de-Catherine was founded as a lumber outpost. This new community was isolated for the first few years of its existence with boats the only means of traveling to and from the town. But bit by bit, the new community grew and it slowly started to connect with the outside world when a road was built from the town to Ottawa. It very slowly started to become self-sufficient. In 1856, the small village decided to change her name to Embrun. Read on to discover more about Saint Augustine-de-Catherine and how it started...

# History of Embrun/Under a new name/Embrun from 1856-1867

< Back to Life in Embrun in 1856

## Under a new name: Embrun from 1856-1867

Embrun continued to prosper through 1856, 1857, and 1858. It wasn't until 1859 that the prosperity looked as though it might be going down the drain.
In 1859, lumbermen had to walk for 30 minutes to get from their homes in the town to the edge of the trees due to deforestation. It took even longer at the end of the day due to the fact that they had to transport several chopped trees back to the town. It could take them almost 1 hour at the end of the day to get back to Embrun.
Many citizens advocated an attempt to get another industry. Many lumbermen were simply giving up their job due to the long travel times. Nearly half of Embrun's lumbermen gave up on their job in 1859.
In the spring of 1860, the lumbermen decided to start chopping wood to the south, a direction in which the lumbermen had not yet tried. However, the Castor River was blocking the way. So, they built a bridge across the river.
With the lumber industry saved, Embrun felt more confident. However, their role as the only major town in the area was gone. The town of Casselman was by now growing, although it was not as big as Embrun. However, Embrun took little interest in this growing community. The citizens of Embrun had more pressing matters on their mind than Casselman.
In 1864, the Saint Augustine-de-Catherine road, which still kept its original name, was rebuilt to be twice as wide, which enabled more lumber carts to travel on it at once, making lumber export easier.
In February 1866, Embrun's population reached 1,000 and a French-language journal, Le Village started publication in May 1866. An English version of the paper, with the same title, started publication in September of that year.

# Biographies: Louis Nèdère

BORN: August 12th, 1821 in Saint-Jacques-de-l'Achigan, Province of Canada DIED: October 4th, 1846 in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine, Province of Canada

## Who was Louis Nèdère?

Louis Nèdère was one of Embrun's first residents. He was part of the original group of 56 people that founded Saint Augustine-de-Catherine. But he was not just one of 56. Some members of the 'Founding 56' as they came to be called viewed him as their leader, although he wasn't officially their leader (they had no official leader, in fact). However, many members of the Founding 56 objected and didn't view Louis Nèdère as their leader.
Although the idea of starting a new settlement wasn't Nèdère's idea, he was the one that suggested a lumber industry.

## Nèdère's Life in the new settlement

Nèdère took his wife, Marie, and his 1-year old son, Jean, with him on the search.
During the search, it was Nèdère that suggested that they investigate the Castor River. If it wasn't for Nèdère, Embrun would have been in a different location.
When they finally found the right spot and got off their boat at the present-day site of Embrun, Nèdère was weak and sick (It was later discovered that Nèdère got tuberculosis just before he left on the journey) and Jean was almost dead from exhaustion. Being the kindhearted person he was, Nèdère gave nearly all of his rations to Jean. Nèdère barely survived during the construction of the settlement that fall. When the town was completed in December, Nèdère was so weak that he could barely even walk. He definitely wasn't strong enough to search for food like the other members of the Founding 56 did.
The Founding 56 didn't expect to find much food at that time of year. So, they worked out a system. The more food a settler found, the bigger his or her share of the food would be. But Nèdère was too weak to search for food. Marie thus decided to work extra hard to get enough food for the whole family to survive.
When Jean was 18 months old in January, he fell into a coma, probably from lack of energy. Nèdère was sure that he was dead. But they didn't want to bury him in the middle of the winter.
But Jean woke up three days later. Over the rest of 1846, Nèdère and his wife and son continued to struggle. Nèdère didn't participate in the lumber industry in 1846, and thus the other settlers refused to give him a share of the food. Nèdère starved to death that autumn. Marie died several days later.
Jean, however, was adopted by Jonathan Smithson, Nèdère's cousin, and one of the few anglophone members of the Founding 56.

## Saint Augustine-de-Catherine: Saint Augustine-de-Catherine from 1848-1856
### Connection to the Outside World

In January 1848, the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada issued a request for a road to be built from Bytown (now Ottawa) to Saint Augustine-de-Catherine.
The corduroy road's construction began on January 14th, 1848. The road was completed and reached the small community on March 14th. Shocked at the ribbon of logs stretching as far as he could see, Jonathan Smithson, a young resident of Saint Augustine-de-Catherine, got on a horse and traveled down the road. He reached Bytown then rode back to Saint Augustine-de-Catherine, telling tales of the road winding through forests and fields to Bytown.
People in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine decided to use the road to export lumber. The road became known as the Saint Augustine-de-Catherine road and lasted until 1951.

### Prosperity

This road brought prosperity to Saint Augustine-de-Catherine in the 1850s. A schoolhouse was built in 1853, when the village had 145 people. That year, the Saint Augustine-de-Catherine road was rebuilt out of cobblestone.
A small chapel was built in July 1853 to replace the log cabin used for religious ceremonies. Some people began rebuilding their homes out of stone. By 1854 nearly half the homes in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine were made out of stone. And the main road was rebuilt out of cobblestones, just like the Saint Augustine-de-Catherine road that branched off it. An interesting fact to note: Part of the route the Saint Augustine-de-Catherine road took is now a road in Embrun called Saint Augustine Road.
Some newcomers wanted to live closer to the river. However, the people who were already in Saint Augustine-de-Catherine told them not to start their home there, as the floodwaters extended out in that direction. But most of these newcomers didn't listen. They built their homes right by the river anyway. However, when the floods started in the following Spring, they understood their mistake. But many of them already spent all their money on a home by the river, and couldn't afford to move to a better spot. They tried to sell off their homes, but not many were going to fall for a home that would be pounded by floods the next spring. The 'river-dwellers' as the people living by the river were now called, eventually managed to sell their homes at a very low price. This started a cycle of the poorer people in the town living by the river.
In 1855, the Citizens Committee of Saint Augustine-de-Catherine decided to build a church in the town. It was completed on May 15, 1856. That day, the town was renamed Embrun after the town of Embrun, Hautes-Alpes in France.
So ended Saint Augustine-de-Catherine and began Embrun.

# History of Embrun/Saint Augustine-de-Catherine/The Start of the Settlement

< Back to Saint Augustine-de-Catherine

## Saint Augustine-de-Catherine: The Start of the Settlement
### The Vision

In May 1845, a group of 56 people in Montreal (although they were originally from the area of Joliette, Quebec) left the city by boat with hopes of establishing a new settlement somewhere in the Eastern portion of Canada West (now Ontario). Over the course of the next few decades, these people became known as the 'Founding 56'. They wanted to start a boomtown that would end up having thousands of people, with various neighborhoods and prosperous businesses.
Most of them were doubtful that their vision would ever come true. Little did they know that this vision was reality by the early 21st Century.
They had already planned out the settlement. They decided that lumbering could be the town's main industry. While a lumber town was not exactly what they wanted in the long run, they knew it would be the only industry they could set up right from the start.
They spent two months traveling on various rivers now part of Eastern Ontario, looking for suitable sites for settlement. They wanted a place that had so many trees that by the time the town ran out of trees, it could be strong enough to get another industry.

### The Start of the Settlement

On August 24th, 1845, they found a good spot - along the north shore of the Castor River. This spot had numerous trees stretching as far as the eye could see, and already had a large clearing just a mile away from the river, just right for building a settlement in so they wouldn't have to worry about clearing an area in the dense forest.
There was also a clearing just by the shore. They decided to build a small dock in that clearing. This dock was completed in October. They made a rough dirt road from the dock to the inland clearing, where they started building about 15 log cabins. They also built a much larger log cabin that could be used for religious ceremonies and other community purposes. All of this was complete entirely by early December. By then, winter was on the way, so they moved into the cabins. They managed to find enough food to last the winter. In the spring, they started up the lumber industry. They decided to use the boat to export lumber to Hull. The town had began.
They named the town Saint Augustine-de-Catherine. The reason behind the name is not known, however.
