The Development of the Rudder: A Technological Tale (Studies in Nautical Archaeology)

Lawrence V. Mott

"... a fascinating study of the obvious, the essential, without which there is no control of a vessel." -- <i>Speculum 74 (1999): 1096-8</i><br /><br />"... sets a new standard for the study of rudder development, but it is about much more than just rudders!" -- <i>Mariner's Mirror 85 (1999): 97</i><br /><br />"Mott has provided a fascinating and rich investigation of a key development in late medieval technology." -- <i>Technology and Culture 40 (1999): 137-9</i><br /><br />"Mott makes a valuable and informative excursion into the history of technology and the history of ships ..." -- <i>Sixteenth Century Journal 28 (1997): 1477-9</i><br /><br />"The Development of the Rudder should be considered a seminal work on the subject." -- <i>American Neptune 58 (1998): 301-3</i>

Introduction Europe stands at the brink of the modern age. Through the development of science, learned men and women are beginning to challenge the medieval mindset of superstition, moving towards the making of a rational world. This is not intended to be a scholastic work on mankind’s scientific endeavors, but merely a handy reference for Gamemasters to understand what technology existed in the era of All for One, as well as a guideline for introducing academic and scientific characters. An Age of Discovery It is not yet the schools and universities that drive the great advances in knowledge, but practical knowledge discovered in the world outside of the classroom. Improvements in rudder technology have made ocean voyages safer, prompting more demand for better navigational aides, and so sailors became proficient in the study of magnetism and com- passes, ties, and winds. Artillery improvements have heralded the study of ballistics, while the opening of new mines, especially

Naval Anti-Aircraft Guns and Gunnery

"This book provides a welcome history of the development if naval AA guns and gunnery, from WWI until after WWII. The introductory chapters are particularly good--clear and well written. They offer an excellent overview of the problems involved in shooing at airplanes from ships. The reader then has a choice of reading all the national chapters or just those that interest him."<I><B>-- Coast Defense Journal</I></B>

Dining with Divers: Tales from the Kitchen Table (Volume 1)

Simon Pridmore

<div><div>&quot;From the first nail-biting story of up-close encounters with crocodiles to the last heart-warming description of how to make Pecan and Pear Bread by first growing a pear tree, Dining with Divers had me hooked from the first dip. Simon Pridmore and David Strike honour their fellow divers in this uplifting compilation of stories from the depths and recipes shared, making it not only a good read but a book to be revisited again and again.&quot; <b>Monica Tindall - Editor, The Yum List</b><br /><br /></div><div>&quot;Anyone who has ever sat around a table with a bunch of divers, right after they get out of the water, will know that the word &quot;dining&quot; is something of a misnomer. &quot;Gorging&quot; would be better description of the vast, rapid intake of calories taking place. Divers DO love their food, and this book harnesses their passion for both the water and culinary worlds. This compilation of exploits underwater and at the stove stands tall amongst the many books by and about divers - as something entertaining, useful and memorable. Well done!&quot;<b> Rainer Sigel, Founder of Asian Diver Magazine and ADEX: now co-owner of Churrasco Phuket Steakhouse</b><br /><br /></div><div>&quot;It&apos;s great reading! Written as if the diver is telling the tale around the dinner table to friends. As a diver, I&apos;m also inspired to visit some of the dive sites featured and see for myself. The recipes I love because they are &quot;home cooking&quot;: dishes that &quot;normal&quot; people would like to have a go at making.&quot; <b>Penelope Williams Executive Chef and Owner of Bali Asli Restaurant</b></div></div><br /><br /><span><i>&quot;The dive stories from those at the cutting edge of divingare tremendous.&quot;</i></span><span></span><br /><span><b>Rod Macdonald, author and wreck diver</b></span><br /><span><i>&quot;The recipes are as unique as the personal diving tales within.&quot;</i></span><span></span><br /><span><b>Richie Kohler, author and explorer</b></span><br /><span><i>&quot;At last, someone has had the brilliant idea of writing about diving and cooking to capture both my passions in one book. Genius.&quot;</i></span><span></span><br /><span><b>Bruce Milani Gallieni, DIVER Magazine (UK)</b></span><br /><span><i>&quot;Good collection of dive stories from some very big names in the industry.&quot;</i></span><span></span><br /><span><b>Scot Parker on Goodreads</b></span><br /><span><i>&quot;A book to be revisited again and again.&quot;</i></span><br /><span><b>Monica Tindall - Editor, The Yum List</b></span><br /><span><i>&quot;It&apos;s great reading!

With this in mind, it&apos;s fair to say that Simon Pridmore and David Strike have hit upon a definite &apos;recipe&apos; for success with their Dining with Divers series, which combine fascinating diving stories with delicious recipes.<br /></div><div><b>Jane Herbert: Team Scubaverse, December 2018</b></div>

James Axler

Over Ryan Cawdor's right shoulder, five scattered, flickering, red-orange suns dawned along the horizon line to the south, sandwiched between greasy black sea and menacing black sky. Across the expanse of flat water, maybe ten miles away, a string of Gulf coast oil rigs still burned, as they had day and night for more than a century. In the distance ahead of the one-eyed warrior, the real sunimmense and an even bloodier red, squashed into an ovoid by atmospheric distortionstruggled up from deep purple night.

1 Cthulhu Dark Ages – Pagan Call Kevin Anderson and Stéphane Gesbert Copyright © 2003 Stéphane Gesbert The Tower “Even a god cannot change the past” – Agathon, c. 445 BC Introduction Winter/spring 1021 AD: the investigators are sent by Stigand, personal chaplain of king Cnut, on a delicate mission to rescue a holy man held hostage by a demon- worshipper named Quintus. During their secret mission to find Quintus in the Welsh wilderness, the investigators end up in a desolate region, overrun at night by a strange mist. This scenario is the campaign’s turning point, a rite of passage. In terms of mood and themes, it draws much on the work of Arthur Machen. We advise the keeper to read Machen’s “the Great God Pan” and “the Three Impostors”. Importantly, investigators who die in this scenario may come back in the sequel. In order to facilitate their return from Limbo, the keeper is advised to stage mysterious deaths, preferably ones that leave no body behind. Keeper’s

Blessed spells are entirely dice based, making it very important to have a good dice type in Faith. While d8 will get you a 94% chance of success for a TN 5, a d12 is a 60% chance of success for TN 11 while that d8 is only 40%.

Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook

Dina Falconi

Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook celebrates and reclaims the lost of art of turning locally gathered wild plants into nutritious, delicious meals a traditional foodway long practiced by our ancestors but neglected in modern times. The book's 50 beautiful, instructive botanical illustrations and over 100 enlightening master recipes offer an adventurous and satisfying way to eat locally and seasonally. Readers will be able to identify, harvest, prepare, eat, and savor the wild bounty all around them. The mouth watering recipes have been developed with flexibility in mind. They taste great when made with cultivated fruits and vegetable too. They also cater to various dietary restrictions: gluten-free, casein-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and sugar-free. Thousands of recipe variations arise from the master recipes. The easy-to-use reference charts collate the information found throughout the book, helping to locate the harvest and use it tastefully. The botanical identification pages focus primarily on plants that are wild, abundant and very common. Many of them are ubiquitous and can be found in various temperate zones of the world: North & South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia. However, Dina was unable in her research to pinpoint the exact world range for each plant. Note: Dina has included a few plants that start as cultivated specimens where she lives (Northeastern U.S) that then freely spread themselves, becoming wild in the landscape. They are wild in other parts of the world. The featured plants grow in various zones, ranging from 2 to 9, with zones 4 to 8 being more typical. By the way the Kitchen Arts cookbook section will be useful anywhere in the world. The recipes are designed as master templates so you can plug in a variety of wild plants or cultivated ones for that matter. To view the 50 Wild Edible Plants featured in Foraging & Feasting, please visit Botanical Arts Press.

IntroductIon While the mightiest heroes need to consume food and drink to survive, in most cam- paigns it will be of importance only when it is in short supply—that is, when starvation looms in some inhospitable wilderness. For those whose campaigns focus more on life than adventuring, or for those who want a little more detail than the brief section in the Hellfrost Player’s Guide, this free supplement takes a look at food and drink. IngredIents The inhabitants of the northern continent enjoy a variety of foodstuffs. Most fresh meat available during the year comes from rabbits, hares, deer, reindeer, horses, wild boars, aurochs, game birds, and other hunted creatures, though what is avail- able depends on the local fauna and the season. Typically, animals are hunted only as fall approaches, when the prey has had time to fatten itself during the long summer months. As winter draw closer, one or two animals from the family’s herd (cows, sheep, pigs, or goats) may be killed and b

The Power of Feedback: 35 Principles for Turning Feedback from Others into Personal and Professional Change

Joseph R. Folkman

The process of review and feedback is common in most organizations. At one time or another, we will all likely receive feedback on our professional performance. But, unfortunately, most organizations and individuals don't know how to use the feedback they receive to improve their performance. As a result, nothing ever changes. The quality of feedback isn't the problem; it's what we do with it that counts.<br /> <br />

Politics & Social Sciences

1 5 Rules of GivinG feedback 5 Rules of Giving Feedback So you’re reading some original content for D&D 5e and you want to give feedback? That’s great! Here are a few simple rules to help you communicate your ideas… Rule 1: Be Respectful There’s no reason to be disrespectful to people you don’t know on the internet. Being respectful means not using pejoratives to describe the original author, not assuming they have certain intentions (such as bringing an overly powered character option to the game), or peppering positive comments with clauses like “I guess” or “at least”. Even if you have spot on feedback it will be immensely hard for the author to take it seriously if you show them a lack of respect. Worse (for you) a lack of respect says a lot more about you as a person than it does about the content or the original author. Rule 2: Say What You Mean Don’t exaggerate for effect, use flippant language, or use sarcasm. If there is a single ability presented in a piece tha

Lizards for Lunch: A Roadrunner's Tale

Conrad J. Storad

Conrad J. Storad grew up in Barberton, Ohio, amidst the belching smokestacks of tire factories, steel mills, and auto assembly plants. He didn't see his first javelina, saguaro cactus, scorpion or rattlesnake up close and personal until 1982, when he began graduate school at Arizona State University. Currently, Storad is the editor of the national award-winning ASU Research Magazine, and is the founding editor of Chain Reaction, a science magazine for young readers. He is also the author of many science and nature books for young adults, including the titles: Don't Ever Cross That Road!, Don't Call Me Pig!, Little Lords of the Desert, Tarantulas, Scorpions, Sonoran Desert A to Z, and Saguaro Cactus. Storad lives in Tempe, Arizona with his wife Laurie and their miniature double dapple dachshund, Sophie. They enjoy hiking and exploring the wilds of the Sonoran Desert. Beth Neely and Don Rantz met while studying Fine Art at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona . They soon discovered a mutual attraction to the outdoors, gardening, cooking, reading, and each other. They married in 1993 and began their artistic and lifelong collaboration. Presently, they reside in a small historic bungalow in Prescott, Arizona with their two cats, and a backyard menagerie of birds, lizards, raccoons, skunks, coyotes and even a small herd of javelinas. These surroundings provided them with the means from which to draw inspiration as the illustrators of the children's book Don't Call Me Pig! which preceded their work in Lizards for Lunch: A Roadrunner's Tale.

Envie A Race of Massive Reptilian Might and Unshakable Brute Force. By Christopher Zito The Walking Hunger Adventurers will tell stories of massive reptilian humanoids that live in the outer fringes of society, devoid of emotion and driven only by their need for food and survival known as the Lizardfolk, but some can be brought into society or join adventuring companies as outcasts from their homelands and come equipped with their own stories similar to the tales told of them. Lizardfolk claim that there are those like them in apperance but something more powerful and primeval in nature, one who's hunger is never satisfied and their might rivals that of a platoon of Orcs, if caught in their jaws the only hope one would have is that their death is quick and painless. Intrigued by a monster that frightens even Lizardfolk, an expedition was made to seek out this race of water dwelling monsters. With what little information was given from the Lizardfolk's descriptions it was a beast that

The Essential Guide to Characters (Star Wars)

Andy Mangels

You can find countless guides to the many gadgets and gizmos in the <i>Star Wars</i> universe--Bill Smith's <i>Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology</i>, which covers everything from ship-mounted turbo-lasers to combat remotes, is just one example. But what about all the <i>characters</i> in Star Wars? Look, a good book about remotes is one thing. A good book about the living? That's something else.

CREATING YOUR CHARACTER 1. CHARACTER CONCEPT Grab a character sheet!  Run your ​character concept​ past me before creating your character. You need a ​name​, a ​species​, and a ​profession​. For the Classic Era setting of the original trilogy: no Jedi, though some characters can sense the Force. Fringers and scum-come-good are always fun, and all characters need a good reason to hate the Empire. 2. SPECIES A list of commonly encountered species is on the following page. If you want to play something that’s not there, just ask. Pick a species and write down its base Attributes and any Special Abilities. 3. PROFESSION A list of professions your character could have on p4. Pick one profession and adjust your character’s Attributes ​accordingly. The total of your Attributes’ Dice Codes should equal 18D.

Wizardry: The Magick of Merlyn Stone: A Complete Grimoire (15th Anniversary Edition)

Joshua Free

Joshua Free first began by receiving personal apprenticeships from his early years and progressing through his entire life, including various Christian Gnostics, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, O.T.O. Ordo Templi Orientis, A.A. Argentium Astrum among others. He was officially initiated into the Pheryllt Druid tradition at the age of 12 and began leading his own Gnostic Druid organization at 13. Joshua Free is the founder of Mardukite Ministries (2008) and the prolific author of many works including Sumerian Religion, Babylonian Myth & Magic, The Sorcerer's Handbook of Merlyn Stone, The Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible, and many others. In the 1990's he was the youngest initiate of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids in England until he left to independently pursue the origins of the Celtic Druids - resulting in the "Book of Elven-Faerie". Although best known for his work on Sumerians, the Anunnaki and Babylonian Tradition for the "Mardukites", his work on the Dragon Legacy and modern Pheryllt Druid tradition is also paramount. His writing has even appeared, together with Myrddin Wolfe (who provided the 'Introduction' for "Wizardry" from the "Sorcerer's Handbook of Merlyn Stone"), in the final volume from Douglas Monroe's 'Merlyn Trilogy': "The Deepteachings of Merlyn", published in 2011.

Vogelein: Clockwork Faerie

Jane Irwin

Gr. 5-up. <i>Clockwork Faerie</i> collects the first five issues of <i>Vogelein</i> into a wonderfully creative graphic novel about Vogelein, a beautiful mechanical fairy created in the seventeenth century. Although she is immortal, she must be wound every 36 hours. After her old friend and caretaker dies, she must find someone new to take care of her. Her search introduces her to a sheltered college student, a wise street cleaner, and the bitter fairy Midhir, who has been transformed by the industrial world of Man. Through these relationships and her cherished memories, Vogelein discovers her own humanity in a modern world that often ignores the possibility of magic. This modern fable is a rare treasure that weaves fanciful imagination into themes of individuality, diversity, and independence. The art is beautifully shaded black and white, and it carries the narrative impeccably, bringing across both the emotions of the characters and the depth of their world. Great for middle readers who like graphic novels or for younger children to share with an adult. <i>Tina Coleman</i><br><i>Copyright &#169; American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>

• Once Upon A Time... There was a High Programmer A paranoia adventure named Past-U-RAL-4. An im- portant man, of course, being a High Programmer, but then you'd worked that out for yourselves hadn't you? Why do we struggling writers bother... Back to the plot: Past-U-RAL is still about, and a nature freak to boot. He is a former member of the Sierra Club whose first step on the lad- der of success was (naturally) to turn in all the members of his cell as traitors. He did it with a tear in his eye, for he really loves the idea of the Great Outdoors. Any normal High Programmer with such a love of nature would probably establish a base Out- side. Not Past-U-RAL, but then, this being Paranoia, that would be too simple by far. There's also the minor problem that Past-U-RAL is allergic to pollen, fur, feathers, real sunlight, and natural foods. Rather than abandon his dream completely, Past-U-RAL has built his idyllic homestead- away-from-home in a disused warehouse under the Alpha Complex

Preferring to remain mobile and evasive, fencers react like clockwork to their opponent's movements, striking at their foe's weakest moment with a barrage of pinpoint strikes. Fencing Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you've developed a deft and relentless fighting style. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a single finesse weapon, and you aren't wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield. • Lunge.

Dinner With Susan A modern-day Call of Cthulhu scenario by Kelvin Green, November 2008 v1.4 This short scenario is intended to be run for beginning investigators, and should take about three or four hours to play through. It is based – very loosely – on Clive Barker's short story The Madonna from his Books of Blood; I say “loosely”, because when I wrote the scenario, all I knew of the original story was a short synopsis appearing in Barker's own A to Z of Horror.

Romanticism and Esoteric Tradition: Studies in Imagination

Paul Davies

Davies (humanities, Univ. of Ulster) has written a volume of eight essays that is part of a series including Thomas Moore's The Planets Within and Noel Cobb's Archetypal Imagination. Examining esoteric themes, such as intimate dialog, the soul's journey, and active imagination, he shows how esoteric traditions of the East and the West correspond to the important themes and ideas of the major Romantic poets, such as Byron, Keats, and Shelley. His book builds on Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Reverie and works by Owen Barfield but goes beyond these earlier discussions and into the more modern topic of ecological criticism. He ends by relating the themes of the Romantic poets to the study of present-day spiritual quests. As this work is a bit weighty, especially because it encompasses such a variety of ideas, it is recommended for large academic libraries with extensive religion and literary studies collections.AKim Woodbridge, Athenaeum of Philadelphia Lib.<br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Literature & Fiction

M any fey are strange and perverse, and the nocturnal glaistig is no exception. She appears as a fair and comely lass, rosy-cheeked and unafraid of exchanging glances with menfolk. She laughs and gaily dances the night away in inns or at festivals. She can also be found after sunset, camped along empty roadsides, alone with but a herd of cattle or sheep she professes to take care of, and eager for companionship. In wilder, more rural locales, glaistig have the cloven feet of goats, and must wear long skirts to disguise their hooves whilst they dance; glaistig near civilization do not have this fey deformity. The glaistig will invite those who seem willing to a dance, and indeed, those who take her up on her offer will enjoy themselves to the fullest and dance their merry hearts out. Afterwards, though, they find themselves somewhat winded, for the glaistig’s dance, though seeming innocuous, is one no mortal can endure. The dance drains away the life of the glaistig’s partner, while the

ASM Handbook: volume 4: Heat Treating (Asm Handbook) (Asm Handbook)

Asm

In compiling this new volume on heat treating, the challenge was to produce a book that contained subject matter strongly oriented toward industrial practice but that did not omit discussions of the underlying metallurgical fundamentals. With previously published ASM Handbooks devoted to heat treating, the omission of material on fundamentals was justified by either space limitations and/or the availability of other ASM books that described the physical metallurgy associated with thermal treatments. For example, when the 8th Edition was published in 1964, only 306 pages were related to heat treating (this Volume was divided between heat-treating technology and surface cleaning and finishing). As such, readers were referred to the classic book Principles of Heat Treatment by M.A. Grossmann and E.C. Bain, which was also published in 1964 by ASM. A similar situation arose in 1981 when the expanded 9th Edition Heat Treating Handbook was published. In the year prior to this publication, a completely revised version of the Grossmann/Bain book was prepared by G. Krauss and subsequently published by ASM.<br>The 1980s proved to be a dynamic period for heat-treating technology a decade that witnessed the introduction of new alloys and processes as well as new tools for understanding the response of heat-treated materials. For example, new alloys under active development or brought to market during the 1980s that were not described in previous heat-treating Handbooks included duplex stainless steels, microalloyed (HSLA) steels, low-cobalt maraging steels, austempered ductile iron, directionally solidified and single-crystal superalloys, and aluminum-lithium alloys.<br>Changes in processing include improvements in continuous annealing, induction heating, and surface hardening operations using lasers or electron beams, the commercial viability of plasma-assisted case-hardening processes, and advances in thermomechanical processing.<br>But by far the most dramatic changes in heat-treat technology that have marked the past decade have been those involving newly developed tools for improving process characterization and process control. These include improved instrumentation for controlling furnace temperature, furnace atmosphere, and surface carbon content, the practical application of statistical process control (SPC), and the use of computer modelling for both the prediction of hardness profiles after quenching and the quantitative modelling of properties after tempering or case hardening. It is this latter category of computer modelling that necessitates the inclusion of material on the basic principles or fundamentals of heat treating. For example, there are several articles in this Volume that deal with computer-assisted prediction of steel hardening and hardenability as a function of heat treatment parameters. In this regard, the primary measures of steel hardening are the end-quench hardenability curves (Jominy curves), isothermal transformation (IT) curves, and continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curves. In order to understand how computer programs can be used to calculate such diagrams, some brief background information is provided in several key articles to emphasize how these diagrams make possible the selection of steel and the design of proper heat treatments.<br>Principal Sections<br><br>Volume 4 has been organized into eight major sections:<br>Heat Treating of Steel<br>Surface Hardening of Steel<br>Heat-Treating Equipment<br>Process and Quality Control Considerations<br>Heat Treating of Cast Irons<br>Heat Treating of Tool Steels<br>Heat Treating of Stainless Steels and Heat-Resistant Alloys<br>Heat Treating of Nonferrous Alloys --ASM International

ASC – Converting Heat Errata v1.1 CONVERTING HEAT Only units that track heat follow this step. For units that do not track heat, round their damage subtotals up to the nearest tenth place (e.g., 0.401 becomes 0.5). These are referred to as the unit’s heat-modified damages, even though the unit does not track heat. Such units then skip directly to Determine Final Damage Values on the next page. For units that track heat (’Mechs, aerospace fighters, Small Craft, DropShips, JumpShips, satellite support vehicles, space stations and WarShips), the unit’s damage values may be adjusted based on the heat their weapons and equipment generate in a BattleTech turn versus how much of that waste heat they can dissipate. Units that possess more firepower than their heat sinks can handle will find their maximum potential damage reduced as a result, but may also receive an Overheat Value that can be used to deliver more punch as needed.

I went into the game ready to experiment with methods for removing what little book-keeping there is. I bought Wound tokens from Gale Force 9 so everyone would know at a glance which Wild Cards were sporting Owies. I bought poker chips in many sizes and colors (to denote Shaken, reloading, Wild Attack, etc.). I also lowered the GM Screen. That’s right. I laid it flat so I could refer to it, but the table was “open.” Any hint of GM/ player adversity vanished, and my players started manag- ing bennies, tossing chips under minis, running their Allies (a detachment of Continental Marines), and calculating their hits/misses/damage without me saying much of any- thing.

In a wise, sensible inquiry that throws a floodlight on a topic shrouded in misconceptions, he explores the role of luck in accidents, windfalls, lost or gained opportunities, flukish victimizations; in work, love, daily affairs, elections, war, games and science. Citing Spinoza and the Book of Job, he mulls the unmerited misfortunes that befall good people. Using Pascal, Leibniz and game theory, he interprets gambling as a microcosm of life. Rescher believes that astrology and superstitions are a waste of energy. Instead, he argues, people can guard against bad luck through common caution, insurance, keeping the odds on one's side and extending one's knowledge. He further urges alertness, preparedness and thoughtful timing as means to create and seize favorable opportunities. <br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Philosophy

The Serenity Job Randomizer By Jim Davenport Dragonlaird Gaming Copyright 2008 One of the most important elements of a classic Serenity campaign is finding a job. A job keeps you flyin', right? So a Gamemaster needs to provide a steady stream of mundane and interesting jobs and job offers. These tables give them a way to randomize entire jobs or just get some inspiration for their own creations. These basic details can be augmented with existing NPCs or woven into planned plot lines. If nothing else, they keep your PCs moving, working, and taking action in the living 'Verse. The style of these tables is modeled after the classic Paul Jaquays publication (Central Casting: Heroes of Legend, Task Force Games, ISBN 0-922335-00-1) If you can find Central Casting, or the sequel which helps you randomize for science fiction campaigns, consider yourself lucky. In general, roll percentile dice to get a result on a table. The table result will indicate if you should

The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth (Modern War Studies)

Earl J. Hess

"Provides the single best example of what tactical and combat studies of our field should do."&#8212;<b><i>Journal of the Civil War Era</b></i>

History

The 19th Century was a time of rapid and dramatic change throughout the world. The Industrial Revolution had begun, the monarchies of Europe were giving way to new forms of government, and the United States was expanding into the Wild West at a furious pace. The weapons of the time were also changing rapidly, developing from the Flintlock Musket of the Napoleonic Wars to the breechloading rifles and Gatling Guns of the American Civil War and later periods. Despite the progress made, the weapons of the Wild West were far less efficient than modern firearms. The generally lower ranges and velocities, and dramatically lower rates of fire, result in very different battlefields from those seen in the late 20th century. This difference is most pronounced at ranges of 100 yards or less, the scale at which Phoenix Command is most often used. Such combat in the modern era is extremely brutal, especially in open terrain. The weapons of the Wild West, however, allow players to step ba

Zombie Ranch: A Tale of a Weird New West, Volume 1

Clint Wolf

<b>Clint Wolf, writer:</b> Although he has the kind of name that would suit an Old West hero mighty fine, Clint must admit to being born and raised in Los Angeles, where at various times he has sojourned as an actor, a tech support drone, and even a teacher, while on the writing front he contributed to West End Games, <i>White Dwarf</i> magazine, and <i>The Diplomatic Pouch</i>. After Dawn entered his life he found her often asking advice on turns of phrase or even entire paragraphs of text for various projects she was working on. Her ideas proved infectious as any zombie-inducing virus, so it was only a matter of time before he committed to a full-on team up; and that was just marriage. <i>Zombie Ranch</i> represents a whole new level of complication in the relationship, but one that should hopefully remain positive so long as he doesnt introduce a character dressed in plaid. <br /><br /> <b>Dawn Wolf, artist:</b> Mix 2 cups of artist, 3 tbsp of martial arts, 2 tsps of nerd, and 1/4 tsps of rural Southern California. Stir well and serve. Born in Riverside County, Dawn spent most of her life hiding from the local population through her drawings. Eventually she made her escape to the Los Angeles area, where she cunningly married before they could deport her back. Dawn has showcased her artwork for many years both at the San Diego Comic Con Art Show and her personal gallery website. She has done occasional webcomic strips in the past, such as her oddball journal <i>Bits of Nothing</i>, but <i>Zombie Ranch</i> is the first major collaboration with her husband penning the tale. Please dont listen when she claims to have been raised by ferrets. It only encourages her.

Basque takes a more raw and primitive approach—a way of reaching into the emotional core of universal symbology. Some of the symbols rune wardens employ derive their power from interstitial entities, some from the principles that drive the universe. Rune wardens can tap into the primal essence of symbols to enact their will upon the world. In recent years the flood of new art forms from the First World has opened up new methods of using this power; the concept of abstract symbolization is one being heavily explored by Second World rune wardens though it is not clear yet what result this experimentation will have nor how fruitful the efforts will turn out to be.
