What follows is a scrap of trivia . . . my collection of RPG plots, in abstract form. I built this by examin- ing the premises of hundreds of pub- lished adventures for all systems (including those systems dear and departed from print), trying to boil them down to common denomina- tors. The results are presented here: arbitrary, and sometimes redundant. Nevertheless, I turn to this list when I’m stuck for a fresh premise for next week’s session of my campaign, whatever that campaign might hap- pen to be about at the time. It helps me keep from falling into thematic ruts (my least favorite kind). With any luck, it might serve a similar function for you. Notes: The “plots” are arranged in alphabetical order by title. Since the titles are arbitrary, this serves no useful function at all. And if you want Shakespearean five-act hoozits, plot trees, Man Versus Himself and other Serious Literary Bunkum, try Writer’s Digest. This ain’t Oxford, baby.

Dying to Really Live: Memories of the Afterlife; A Non-Believer Returns to Life After a Surprising Near Death Experience (NDE Series Book 1)

Duane F Smith

In his mid-thirties he thought he had it all. A beautiful home, a Rockwellian family, airplanes, boats and-and European vacations plus, all the toys that the media had told him he needed to be happy. . About the time, he had at all, a Dr. from the Stanford Medical Center, diagnosed him with a terminal condition and gave him 5 months to live . . . and his whole world came crashing down around him. . He lived 12 for months, but eventually they wept as he lay dying . . . but when he came back . . . ! Thus began a journey the rest of his life, it journey on which he eventually found what he had been looking for all along. But, he was sent back for the same reason many others who experience NDEs are sent back, to tell people that there is nothing to fear in death, in fact, it's quite the opposite. Death is but the beginning of another adventure either, back here, over there or, another of God's realms. And, since God promises an eternity of happiness, if youre not happy, youre doing something wrong. "Dying to Really Live" is the 1st book of the trilogy he wrote in response to the reason he was sent back. Book 2 of the trilogy covers the 2 years following his return to this earth, during which he was returned to the afterlife on several occasions. Book 3 covers the next 20 years he spent mastering one assignment he had been given in preparation for writing his story. The author is currently writing a 4th book which should be out in late 2015. This book called, A New Tomorrow is about what we can expect in the coming decades, and it's not the doom and gloom you see in the media.

No Return Ticket 1 Introduction A final consolation storyline for a single PC (Protagonist) otherwise about to leave play due to death or insanity. The PC gains ever-more potent abilities at the cost of decreasing free agency. /No Return Ticket/ can serve as a subplot in any scenario where splitting the party can leave a sole survivor for one of the fractions. 2 Player's Information Protagonist alone survives an attack by the Antagonist. Protagonist must overcome injury and isolation to get help and warn their cellmates. 3 Keeper's Information Antagonist attacked and killed Protagonist without witnesses. Antagonist then cast *Ingest Thoughts*[1] on Protagonist. Protagonist now only exists as a set of stolen memories experiencing intermittent consciousness when recalled by Antagonist[2]. Protagonist initially has no idea of their predicament because the subjective experience of it feels almost exactly like being alive. Play this as Protagonist returning to consciousness af

One Grave Less: A Diane Fallon Forensic Investigation

Beverly Connor

Near the outset of Connor's exciting ninth thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon (after The Night Killer), Diane discovers Simone Brooks, a colleague from her days investigating human rights abuses in South America, lying injured on the floor of the crime lab at Georgia's River Trail Museum of Natural History. Simone mutters something suggesting that a person they trusted in South America is up to no good before losing consciousness. Soon, Diane finds herself framed for drug smuggling and the murders of four men in Brazil. Meanwhile, Diane's eight-year-old adopted daughter, Ariel, and a kidnapped anthropologist mistaken for Diane, Lindsay Chamberlain, battle thugs and conspiracies in the Amazon rainforest. Crisp, intelligent prose helps propel the many hairpin plot twists. The three smart, likable female leads--Diane, Ariel, and Lindsay, making a guest appearance from another Connor series--don't wait around for men to save them. (Dec.) <BR>(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Jessica's Bodies Briefing Miskatonic university premed student Jessica Gerber was found strangled to death in her home three weeks ago. Henry Barcenas, her ex-boyfriend and convicted drug felon, was arrested for the murder. His trial is predicted to go swiftly as the prosecution has DNA and fingerprint evidence as well as witness testimony indicating Barcenas was furious over Gerber dumping him for a new boyfriend, medical grad student Jamie Davis. One week ago, Frank and Cherry Lin returned to their home to find their daughter Connie missing and a trail of blood leading from her bedroom to the skinless but clothed corpse of a young woman in their living room. The investigation caught Delta Green's attention when DNA from the body matched 100% for Jessica Gerber. What's Going On Willie Fox was a Harvard medical student peripherally involved with a project to encode archival information onto DNA.[1] He was ejected from the university after being caught transcribing artifici

1 Bullet Points Gamemaster Calls by Owen K.C. Stephens This installment of Bullet Points looks at questions that could all be answered with, "ask your GM." A bad GM call, however, can have a strong negative impact on a game, so the "official" answers are outlined here, along with some notes about why these are the right calls. With a little experience, GMs can make such calls themselves, keeping their game fast and exciting while also maintaining a good game balance. I don't like PCs having to constantly kill foes. Can't the GM decide that the opponent had enough and just passes out? Maybe the inevitable bruising, nose bleeds, etc. should damage Charisma? Why does all combat have to be to the death? Most people don't want to kill each other, shouldn't roleplaying reflect that? Is this totally within the realm of GM decision and house rules or has it never been a problem? A GM can decide to have foes drop early, take Charisma damage, or do anything else he want

The Waters of Arcamo: Book Two of the Arcamo Saga

A. C. Nicholas

A.C. Nicholas lives with his wife in Sayville, New York. He really enjoyed the experience of writing his first book, Anna and the Tale of the Wolf. Apparently, a number of other people enjoyed it, too. So much so, in fact, that he wrote this, the second installment of the Del Forno saga. It is his fervent hope that you enjoy reading this as much as he did writing it.

Welcome to the Living Arcanis 5E Campaign The Arcanis living campaign has been running non-stop since it premiered at Origins 2001, first using the D20/3.x ruleset, next with the ongoing Arcanis the RPG (Legends of Arcanis), and now using the new 5th Edition mechanics with Living Arcanis 5E, which runs parallel to the Legends of Arcanis campaign. The adventures presented are part of a rich tapestry that tells the story of the people of Arcanis. While some of these adventures may be played independently of one another (Soft Points), they all weave a story and help unlock the multiple mysteries of the world. The world of Arcanis has a deep and detailed history where written records may contradict each other. Uncovering the truth of what actually happened is a source of additional enjoyment for players, who peel back the secrets like the layers of an onion. The campaign adventures are designated either as Introductory, Soft Points, and Hard Points. Introductory adventures are des

From this ancient house, new noble houses were chartered, and the nation expanded eastward from the Cairn Hills, where generous mineral deposits assured its continued growth. While the Duchy thrived on unparalleled economic growth, it struggled with religious issues. These issues came to a head twenty years ago in a debacle known as the Temple Coalition Revolt. During this time, most temple organizations withdrew from the Duchy in response to a tripling of temple taxes and the heretical behaviors of the Duchy’s leadership.

Disco Bloodbath: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland

James St. James

In 1996, New York City drug dealer and "club kid" Angel Melendez was bludgeoned, injected with Drano, dismembered, and tossed into the river. James St. James was there when the killer confessed, but before that, there were the clubs, the parties, the drugs, and the many fabulous (and some not so fabulous) outfits. <I>Disco Bloodbath</I> is "celebutante" St. James's story, equal parts confession and attempt at closure. This is no square-jawed detective's account of the investigation of the crime; St. James is a drug-addled clubster who wears a wedding dress out on the town and invokes Judy Garland as he talks about the scene in which he and Melendez immersed themselves before the murder. His story, despite its gruesome subject matter and frequent, shocking lucidity, has a chatty and anecdotal quality that's compelling, endearing, and unrelentingly human. <I>--Lisa Higgins</I>

Bird Dream: Adventures at the Extremes of Human Flight

Matt Higgins

<u><b>Daily Beast:</b></u><br /><b>Gripping In a way that shocked me, the book is perversely entertaining</b> when Higgins reveals the fates of many of the men and women he writes about with such admiration. Higgins manages to keep the reader hooked all the way through to the final page.<b> In a truly intoxicating read that was hard to put down, Matt Higgins has managed to make real a world about as far removed from daily life as it gets.</b><br /><br /><i><u><b>The Wall Street Journal</b></u></i><u><b>:</b></u><br />"In <i>Bird Dream</i>, Matt Higgins cracks open this astonishingly dangerous sport and captures the spectacular adrenaline surges it delivers... <b>[A] riveting tale</b>."<br /><br /><u><b><i>Chicago Tribune</i>:</b></u><br />[A] <b>compelling</b> chronicle of the extreme sport subculture of those who love soaring, gliding and plummeting to the earth from a wide range of deadly heights. <b>Higgins has inherently thrilling material on his hands, but he does much more than merely describe the adrenaline-charged feats</b> of jumpers. The book is <b>a subtle study of the psychology of athletes</b> engaged in a sport where death is a constant possibility.<br /><br /><b><u><i>The Washington Post</i></u></b><br />"In <i>Bird Dream</i>, Matt Higgins offers <b>an engrossing account of the men and women who pursue the most dangerous recreational activity imaginable</b>, one in which a razor-thin line separates success from failure, life from death... While <b>Higgins fills <i>Bird Dream</i> with fascinating characters, living and dead</b>, the focus is on two wingsuiters determined to achieve the ultimate goal of jumping from a helicopter or an elevated spot and gliding down to a survivable landing without a parachute... Does either of them survive? You will find the answers to those questions in <b>a book you will find hard to put down</b>."<br /><br /><u><b><i>Kirkus</i> (STARRED)</b></u><br />"The breathtaking highs and life-threatening plunges of the most extreme stuntmen on Earth. Keep your mixed martial arts, parcours and BMX bikes; you havent seen anything until youve seen the point-of-view video of these free-flying pilots soaring in their homemade wingsuits over some of the most extreme terrain on the planet. In this<b> riveting </b>journalistic account, freelance writer Higgins chronicles the evolution of the sport from simple parachuting to BASE jumping (the acronym stands for building, antennae, span and Earth, which serve as launch points) to the development of these soaring, superherolike armored flight suits... <b>For anyone who finds these kinds of emotional and precise accounts of risk, ambition and victory irresistible, this is a must-read. A highflying, electrifying story of a treacherous sport in which every triumph is an eye blink away from becoming a disaster.</b>"<br /><br /><b><i><u>Library Journal </u></i><u>(STARRED)</u></b><br />"[Higgins's] <b>action-packed</b> book introduces a global coterie of remarkable characters who have dared life and limb. He describes escapades from Sixties stunt parachuting to more contemporary BASE jumping, in which one takes flight off of selected worldwide buildings and geographical points to the experience of wingsuit flyingthe maximum challenge. The author recounts the huge preparations, financial investments, psychological motivations, personal setbacks, and extraordinary aerial accomplishments that have gone into these extreme sports... <b>An engrossing and exhaustively researched account of extremists who challenge failure and death on a regular basis. Highly recommended</b> for ultimate jumpers in particular, sports enthusiasts in general, and all public libraries.<br /><br /><b><u><i>Publishers Weekly</i></u></b><br /><b>"A new tribe of aerial daredevils write their deeds in blood and glory...</b> Journalist Higgins sings the exploits and charisma of wing-suit pilots... The book is mainly<b> a chronicle of death-defying stunts</b>: mishaps are plenty grisly when wing suiters traveling at 100 mph encounter anything denser than air, and the body count is high<b>... [a] tribute to the exaltation of defying death</b>; one extreme parachutist felt somehow reborn into the world on his first outing, as if scales had been stripped from his eyes. These effusions wont move everyone to a conversion experience, but <b>Higginss account is hair-raising</b> enough to hold the readers interest."<br /><br /><u><b>SUSAN CASEY, author of <i>The Wave</i> and <i>The Devils Teeth</i></b></u><br />Most of us dream of flying, but it is the exceptional person who actually tries it. Matt Higgins takes readers deep into the extreme and fascinating world of BASE jumpers and wingsuit pilots, those rare birds who risk their lives for a few exhilarating, gravity-defying seconds. <i>Bird Dream</i> is a beautifully crafted narrative, equal parts adrenaline rush and soulful meditation. From its first sentence, this book soars.<br /><br /><u><b>JAMES M. TABOR, author of <i>Blind Descent</i></b></u><br />Wingsuit fliers like Jeb Corliss and Gary Connery change the definition of impossible, often at the expense of life and limb. Capturing the essence of such entrepreneurs of the extreme is like trying to grab sparks. In <i>Bird Dream</i>, Matt Higgins does just that with writing that is<br />crisp, exhilarating, and exhaustively researched. A must-read about ultimate questsand their costs.<br /><br /><u><b>JAMES S. HIRSCH, author of <i>Willie Mays</i></b></u><br />Some people dare to imagine human flight; others dare to don wingsuits and leap birdlike into the void. A breathtaking narrative of outsized courage and irreverent boundary breaking, Matt Higginss <i>Bird Dream</i> captures human jumps that defy the rational mind, that duel with gravitys inexorable pull, and that tango with the ever-present threat of dismemberment and death.<br /><br /><u><b>JOE DRAPE, author of <i>Our Boys</i></b></u><br />Matt Higgins takes us on a thrilling ride with an international cast of visionaries, daredevils, and flat-out wingnuts who are pushing the limits of human flight. Higgins weaves a compelling tale that leaves us awestruck and inspired by those who refuse to be constrained by earthly boundaries.<br /><br /><u><b>STEPH DAVIS, climber, BASE jumper, wingsuit pilot; author of <i>Learning to Fly</i></b></u><br /><i>Bird Dream</i> is <i>Born to Run</i> for the wingsuit BASE world. Matt Higgins has managed to straddle the difficult line between maintaining authenticity for insiders and opening this fringe lifestyle to outsiders. As a dedicated jumper myself, I found <i>Bird Dream</i> compelling and absolutely undiluted.

History

for that true sparrow, Jeremy Tidwell Sparrow How long have you felt it? Your fingers filled with dull ache whenever you use them for too long, your shoulder-blades tickling with the sensation of phantom limbs, that sense that you’re swimming in a body too big to make use of, the confusion of being. You weren’t meant to walk among humans. Maybe you’ve just shrugged it off, assuring yourself that everyone feels this way sometimes. Maybe you’ve been going crazy for the answer. There is no easy way to doubt your body. There is no comfortable way to fall apart. But the feeling is getting clearer. You dream about flying either all of the time or never at all. You hate depending on your legs for movement. You don’t trust like you used to. You crave beauty like you’ll die without it. You’re ready to fly. You’re a sparrow, brave and terrified. dedicated to Jeremy Tidwell special thanks to Joe Beason, Stephen Scapicchio, James Stuart, Aaron Friesen, Evan Silberman, James Graham,

All the domains over which a deity has influence are called the deity’s portfolio. For example, the portfolio of the Greek god Apollo includes the domains of Knowledge, Life, and Light. As a cleric, you choose one aspect of your deity’s portfolio to emphasize, and you are granted powers related to that domain. Your choice might correspond to a particular sect dedicated to your deity. Apollo, for example, could be worshiped in one region as Phoebus (“radiant”) Apollo, emphasizing his influence over the Light domain, and in a different place as Apollo Acesius (“healing”), emphasizing his association with the Life domain.

CONVERSION NOTES - While itÕs not going to be common, there will be people who want to convert old GURPS¨ characters into EABAª adventurers. The guidelines below are pretty simple and cover all the important points. GURPS¨ is a registered trademark of Steve Jackson Games. Thanks for vetting this conversion and providing useful comments go to Aaron Kavli, William Hostman. Attributes - The following scale can be used to convert GURPS Attributes to EABA Attributes. The linear lifting curve in GURPS doesnÕt translate well into the exponential curve of EABA, so conversion is based on two-thirds the GURPS Attriute level (round nearest) for GURPS levels from 7 to 18. For each point below 7 in GURPS, you subtract 2 from the EABA level. For GURPS levels above 18, you add +1 to the EABA Attribute level for each 5 points of GURPS Attribute level. This gives good results up to the horse level of Strength for comparison purposes. GURPS EABA Attribute Strength (ST) Strength Dexterity (DX) Agility

Sorcerous Origins Different sorcerers claim different origins for their innate magic. Although many variations exist, most of these origins fall into two categories: an eldritch bloodline and the influence of wild magic. Genie Bloodline Genies, the noble and decadent rulers of the Elemental Planes are not born so much as they are spontaneously condensed from primordial energy and elementally-infused souls. Those with djinn or efreet blood running through their veins are therefore a curious anomaly. Do their magical ancestries stem from a shapeshifted genie using exotic magics to bear a mortal child, was one of their ancestors a genie transformed into mortal flesh, or is the origin even more complex? Such considerations are fanciful as they are speculative, for any such magic that could bear a genie's child would be utterly tremendous; of course, legendary djinn are rumored to command the powers of the wish spell, so most anything is possible.

The Magic Key to Tennis: 1 Thru 10 System

Eric Sage

Eric Sage was a world ranked professional tennis player who, at age 23, in a split second, lost his life long tennis dream in an automobile accident. He went on to open The Los Angeles Tennis Academy with his brother where they coached many celebrities including George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, and Robert Downey Jr., as well as famous rock stars, NFL owners, world ranked juniors and adults. He also taught physically and mentally disabled children and kids of all ages - all with amazing success and was chosen to be on the HEAD Penn Racquet Sports Advisory Staff. However, he felt compelled to pursue a latent dream outside of the tennis world. Ultimately, he spent the next twelve years teaching tennis eight hours a day while studying music five hours deep into every night. During this transformational time, he developed The Magic Key To Tennis - 1 Thru 10 System. It is a simple yet revolutionary concept that will change the game of tennis. It is through his passion and discipline that he went on to master voice, piano and music composition. He is a public speaker and works with professional athletes on sports psychology.

Literature & Fiction

Sacred Oath Becoming a paladin involves taking vows that commit the paladin to the cause of righteousness, an active path of fighting wickedness. The final oath, taken when he or she reaches 3rd level, is the culmination of all the paladin’s training. Some characters with this class don’t consider themselves true paladins until they have reached 3rd level and made this oath. For others, the actual swearing of the oath is a formality, an official stamp on what has always been true in the paladin’s heart. Oath of Freedom Most paladins place great emphasis on duty, honesty, order and justice, believing that an orderly approach to life is the best way to keep their tenets and accomplish their objectives. The Paladins of Freedom, however, reject this approach. Instead, they stress that personal liberty is the most important thing an individual can have – so important that they actively reject all laws that do not originate from the gods themselves.

Aces Wild: The Race for Mach 1

Al Blackburn

Move over, Chuck Yeager. Take note, Tom Wolfe. Al Blackburn, an aeronautical engineer and former test pilot, says that George Welch belongs atop the ziggurat of the right stuff. The case is circumstantial but persuasive, filled with wonderful yarns. (Alex Roland, Duke University)<br /><br />Al Blackburn, a scrappy survivor of the legendary mid-century roster of top-rank test pilots, has put together a rememberance of his world that is full of intriguing surprises. Not least is his thesis that Chuck Yeager may not have been the first person to make a supersonic flight. This is a story with much wider implications than whether Yeager or George Welch deserves the accolades for initially penetrating the sound barrier. And it's told in a style that neatly blends gripping and colorful anecdotal sequences with technical explanations that lend the account a high degree of authenticity. (Richard Witkin, former Aviation Editor, The New York Times)<br /><br />A dramatic and historically accurate story. (<i>Midwest Book Review</i>)<br /><br />Fascinating. (<i>Flight Journal</i>)<br /><br />Sure to stir debate. (<i>The Buffalo News</i>)<br /><br />A new voice has been added to the ranks of the great aviation writers. (George C. Larson, editor, Air &amp; Space Magazine)<br /><br />A very interesting book recording how it was and who did what and to whom during the race to achieve manned supersonic flight. (Vice Admiral Donald d. Engen, U.S. Navy (ret.), director, National Air and Space Museum)<br /><br /><i>Aces Wild</i> does far more than simply entertain or inform. It thrills, it inspires, and it enlightens. Al Blackburn takes the reader on the wild ride to do what many had thought impossible: exceed the speed of sound. He introduces us to a myriad of unique characters, those free spirits who defied the conventional wisdom and pushed the performance envelope beyond reasonable limits of safety. (Corey C. Jordan, editor, <i>Planes and Pilots of World War II<i> on-line magazine)<br /><br /><i>Aces Wild</i> is a very readable and highly personal story of the growth in fight-testing history between adolescence and maturity, cowboys and engineers, manual and automated, fighter jocks and a new breed of scholarly test pilots (Blackburn being one). (Jeeb Halaby, Federal Aviation Administrator, 1961-1965; CEO, Pan Am, 1969-1971)<br /><br />Blackie's love for flying comes through on every page. This book should appeal to all others who share that love. But it will be of even greater interest to those who appreciate the role that aviation has come to play in the modern world. (John L. McLucas, former Secretary of the Air Force) </i></i>

Dave Robinson is a retired journalist who lives near Maquoit bay on the midcoast of the Grand State of Maine.

Politics & Social Sciences

What is this? This document is an overview of the matrix from multiple perspectives. It is a narrative to provide an understanding of the SR5 matrix, contrasted against the backdrop of an SR4 understanding of the matrix. Some liberties have been taken in explanations in order to make definitions plausable. This document takes some creative liberty on the story: It is written under the auspice that the SR5 matrix is an evolution of the SR4 matrix. That the Public Grid is the remnants of the SR4 matrix. When the terms “Matrix v4”, “mesh”, or “legacy” is used, it refers to SR4. When the terms “Matrix v5” or “next generation” are used, the reference is to SR5. This document is also written in a fashion that elevates the complexity step by step matching the narrative to the needs of a character's level of technological understanding. Matrix 101 targets the average matrix user and how they see and use the matrix. Next, the average shadowrunner. Evolving third into the team's hacker/decker

Our Spiritual Athletic Journey: 7 Powerful Messages to Help You Take Your Game to The Highest Level

Rodney Scharboneau

<span>As coaches and parents of athletes, we gain peace, joy, and confidence when we allow ourselves to align with spirit as we support our children in their athletic endeavors. And when we gain inner peace and confidence in this way, we quietly give ourselves permission to love our opponents. <br /></span><br /><span>Love them so much that you'll outwork them in practice and show them something amazing in the game. Make it your mission to bring unmatched energy, skill, and drive to each and every contest. After all, it is the highest form of respect you can show your opponent, the universe, and the game.<br /></span><br /><span>When we coach, parent, or play from a place of true spirit, we put ourselves in a special light to serve the most important roles. Thus, when we win, we will find it so much more natural to offer encouragement to the team that just lost, and when we lose, our congratulations will be heartfelt and we will feel gratitude for the opportunity to learn and improve.<br /></span><br /><span>Spirituality in our youth is the ultimate incorporation of our brothers and sisters into a community. Our best nature elevates their nature, and together we experience an extraordinary divine energy which would be impossible to achieve alone.<br /></span><br /><span>The divine energy is in everyone. We tap into it and harness it when our actions come from a place of love as opposed to one of fear. What kind of energy are you bringing to your team as a coach? What kind of energy are you bringing, as a parent, to your child's athletic experience?<br /></span><br /><span>When we embrace sport and competition in a spiritual way, we are operating from the highest possible place. We are in touch with our divine nature, and we are doing all we can to be like God. </span>

At other times, these amendments are errata designed to correct mistakes or add clarity to a rule that is not as clear as it might be. As they’re revised regularly, each of these documents has a version number; where a version number has a letter, e.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local amendment, only in that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction.

Clan Member of the Khund nation The dwarves of the Khund nation divide themselves according to families or clans, who follow a leader that in turn follows the high King Barandon. These dwarves are fiercely independent, yet are considered to be Tusmit citizens because of the treaty of Guldimar. The dwarves of the Khund nation are responsible for the safety of those travelling the perilous peaks as well as guards for the convict mines and gold shipments in the north. It is said that without the existence of the Khund, Tusmit would have been razed long ago by monsters from the Yatils. Not every Tusmite Dwarf is a Khund member, but those who are give some time for their clan and the nation, receiving prestige for themselves and their clan.

Selected Letters of Dashiell Hammett

Dashiell Hammett

<b>Penzler Pick, <a href="/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/150386/${0}">April 2001</a>:</b> What seems a long overdue volume is finally making its appearance. (After all, <i>The Selected Letters of Raymond Chandler</i> was published 20 years ago.) Here, in more than 600 pages crammed with important as well as intimate letters, is a view into the mind of the most important American mystery writer of the 20th century. While I don't believe Hammett could carry Chandler's pen when it came to literary excellence, it's fair to say that Chandler couldn't have published much had Hammett not made the private eye novel both popular and acceptable in the world of American letters.

MASTER CLASSES ? LORE MASTER (MASTER) The Lore Master is adept at versatility, applying his knowledge and expertise on and off the battlefield. He is able to provide linguistics translation, versatile skill support, key tactical knowledge of the enemy and the ability apply this knowledge in a number of ways to help his allies. As the old adage goes, knowledge is power. Depending on your campaign, a Lore Master could be...  An intelligent scholar, who is bored of constant study, and therefore leaves the class room to find adventure  A well-studied commander who has led his men into many battles armed with common weapons, but superior tactics  A curious naturalist, striving to learn everything he can about dangerous creatures… firsthand  A special operative, able to complete a range of difficult missions for the King due to his vast knowledge  A studious youth, whose thirst for knowledge (and the joy of applying that knowledge) must have an outlet P

Warship Pictorial No. 25 - IJN Yamato Class Battleships

Steve Wiper

2004 paper covers, 8 1/4 x 11, glossy page stock, 64 pages, 70 B&amp;W photos, and 1 colorized photo, 8 sets of technical drawings, and front cover painting by Tom Freeman. The Yamato and the Musashi were the largest battleships ever built by arty nation and they carried the largest guns of any warship ever built, yet they both were overwhelmed and sunk by air power. They were built at the height of the Dreadnought era, which also was the dramatic rise of aircraft carrier dominance, eclipsing the mighty battleship as ruler of the seas. So little was known about these leviathans, that the US Naval Intelligence was not aware of their existence until they were spotted in battle in the Pacific War. Details were not available until after the war, but so little visual information was available that we are still learning new data to this day. This book is filled with the majority of the only existing photographs, composed of 64 pages, containing 70 black &amp; white and one colorized photograph, 8 sets of technical Illustrations and the front cover painting by the famous naval artist Tam Freeman. Extensive captions and a brief history of these ships rounds out the coverage on these little known battleships.

Doak, who has several previous titles from this publisher, is an expert in teaching paper piecing, a quilt construction method that involves sewing oversize fabric pieces to a paper foundation following a numerical sequence. Her new book adapts that technique to the requirements of miniature quilts, which normally measure no more than 24" square and by definition are scaled-down versions of full-sized quilts. Included here are complete step-by-step instructions and paper-piecing designs for 17 miniature quilt projects.

Cecily Cicada

Kita Helmetag Murdock

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for children of entomophobic parents This book was a great help in preparing my daughter for the coming onslaught of cicadas in the Washington DC area these past few weeks. She went from being weary and uncomfortable with them (no doubt behavior learned from her parents!) to being interested and curious to the point of picking them up and carrying them around when they arrived. --A customer<br /><br />5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book and so do my two nieces (ages 5 and 6 &amp; 3/4.) The adorable illustrations and the heartwarming story of Cecilia have transformed cicadas from a scary menace into an animal that you'd want to pal around with. It's sophisticated enough to be educational, but simple and clever enough to share with a child of any age. The fundamental lessons of the importance of patience and love really shine through. If you live in a place with cicadas, this book is a must, and if you don't, reading it may make you consider a move. I highly recommend this book for any child with a curiosity about the world. --Karima Hassan<br /><br />5.0 stars out of 5 stars I absolutely love this book! I bought Cecily Cicada for my nephew Ben who is 1 1/2 and starting to discover the joys of bugs and everything of the like. He is mesmorized by the colorful illustrations and I really enjoy reading the story! The actual story is refreshingly unique, detailed and uses some great vocabulary, so for now Ben gets a kick out of the pictures and the name - he loves to try and say Cecily) and I'm sure he will grow into the depth of the story. I highly recommend this book for children of all ages! --Becky M. Gray

Julie Kaewert

When Alex Plumtree is asked in confidence by the prime minister to publish a limited edition of Cleansing, a controversial novel by Lord Chenies, "one of the nation's most luminous literary lights," the staff and associates of Plumtree Press become instant targets for the media and those who don't want the book published. Alex is shocked to find the first chapter "ultra right wing in the most odious way, appearing to condone violence on England's downtrodden," but for the moment his mind is elsewhereAback home, Alex is caught up in a historical preservation battle over hedgerows, and his fianc?e in Switzerland doesn't answer his calls. Meanwhile, the publishing process is sabotaged at every stage, and Amanda Morison, his printer, is in grave danger. And then Lord Chenies is found dead. In this third Booklover's Mystery (Unsolicited, Unbound), Kaewert once again subjects the traditional English values of Alex and friends to quite a battering at the hands of outside forces as she pits the power of politics and money against the collective strength of committed individuals. As in previous outings, the true pleasure is less the mystery than Kaewert's portrayal of her beleaguered bibliophiles and her lovingly detailed description of their world. <br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Martin Book Three: A Song of Ice and Fire A NOTE ON CHRONOLOGY A Song of Ice and Fire is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another. Some chapters cover a day, some only an hour; others might span a fortnight, a month, half a year. With such a structure, the narrative cannot be strictly sequential; sometimes important things are happening simultaneously, a thousand leagues apart. In the case of the volume now in hand, the reader should realize that the opening chapters of A Storm of Swords do not follow the closing chapters of A Clash of Kings so much as overlap them. I open with a look at some of the things that were happening on the Fist of the First Men, at Riverrun, Harrenhal, and on the Trident while the Battle of the Blackwater was being fought at King’s Landing, and d

When mankind first discovered Pern, third planet of the sun Rukbat, in the Sagittarian Sector, they paid little attention to the eccentric orbit of another satellite in the system. Settling the new planet, adjusting to its differences, the colonists spread out across the southern, most hospitable continent. Then disaster struck in the form of a rain of mycor-rhizoid organisms, which voraciously devoured all but stone, metal, and water. The initial losses were staggering. But fortunately for the young colony, "Thread," as the settlers called the devastating showers, was not entirely invincible: both water and fire would destroy the menace on contact. Using their old-world ingenuity and genetic engineering, the settlers altered an indigenous life-form that resembled the dragons of legend. Telepathically bonded with a human at birth, thes

Alberix the Celt Book 1: Weep the Long Sorrow (Volume 1)

Albert Noyer

Albert Noyer's novels are set in the mid-first century BC in Gaul against the backdrop of Julius Caesar's ongoing conquest of that land. In Book One, Weep the Long Sorrow, readers are introduced to young Alberix, son of a clan chief and nephew of a Druid priest. When Alberix's father is killed during a German raid, the family flees to another village, where Alberix's aunt has wed the local chieftain, but the family's attempts to settle into their new surroundings are forever threatened not only by looming German raids, but also by the growing factor of Julius Caesar and his Roman legions.<br />Noyer very expertly handles a complex tangle of plots and a large cast of well-drawn characters, and Vercingetorix ends up playing a pivotal role in Alberix's fortunes.<br />Noyer's painstaking research is obvious but not intrusive on virtually every page. He portrays the world of the Gauls as full of unflinching violence but also a satisfyingly drawn element of doomed heroism.<br />Anne McNulty / The Historical Novels Review, November 2015.

The “Halloween King” Halloween Special XP Bonus XP Christmas—bah. Easter—blah! But Halloween—that’s a holiday you can get behind. Pumpkins. Candy. Popcorn. Blood! And there’s something just plain satisfying about that one day every year when people acknowledge that evil spirits, fear, and wrack are the true masters of the world. So, you can earn a bonus XP towards this quest at any time (but only once per scene/15 minutes) by explaining away something you’re doing as a Halloween decoration, or activity, or behavior. Like: • “Halloween’s coming.” • “It’s for Halloween.” • “It’s Halloween!” This’ll make the most sense when prepping-for-Halloween is actually the thing that you’re doing, but there’s nothing wrong with slipping this in as an excuse of last resort when you’re, e.g., discovered trapped in some poor kid’s locker.

Battleship: Gneisenau (Schiffer Military History)

Siegfried Breyer

Text: English (translation)<br /> Original Language: German

Politics & Social Sciences

INTRODUCTION The Secret of the Gneisenau does not pit the players against a convention- al enemy. Instead, it is a Weird War II adventure, meaning the opponent is a much more sinister one – the unknown world of magic and the paranormal. The players take the role of engi- neering hands onboard the doomed German battlecruiser Gneisenau, just a day after it has successfully sped through the British-controlled waters of the English Channel in a nearly impos- sible feat. Along with the battleship Prince Eugen and its sister battlecruiser Scharnhorst, the Gneisenau left the Channel behind, pushing toward Holland, dodging pursuing Allied forces. This risky move represents the last desperate gamble to give the German navy, or Kriegsmarine, a bar- gaining chip in the North Sea.
