CyberGeneration’s June Short Fiction Contest 2nd Place! Character Assassination by Bri Carneski “...so there wonʼt be any problem with our...transaction?” Wilhelm asked, leaning for- ward to muffle his words and allow the buzz of the other restaurant patrons to cover his conversation. “No problem at all,” answered Wilhelmʼs opposite number, a go-between known simply by the pseudonym of Igor, “In exchange for the agreed upon sum, you and your associates will be...custodi- ans...of the free remnant of Rocky Mountain National Park. All the water rights, all the mineral rights, not to mention the timber. Everything.” Wilhelm barely concealed his grin, and thought, Iʼm sure to get the promotion to vice-president. “Then it is an agreement,” Wilhelm said, smiling deeply, “Petrochem and its subsidiaries are glad to do business with you Mr. Igor, and your...client..” Igor shrugged, his eyes continuously scanning the environs for any possible trouble, before adding, “Just make s

The Essentials of Magick: A Complete Guide to Common Elements of All Magical Systems
Nathaniel
Nathaniel is a pen name of Wojciech Usarzewicz, who is a Reiki Master Teacher and an experienced (despite his young age) spiritual practitioner born and living in Poland, Europe. When people ask him about his pen name, he says "Nathan" is a way easier to pronounce than his real name; thus he publishes his books under "Nathaniel" name. He's an author of numerous books on spiritual subjects: psychic development, Norse runes, New Age, clairvoyance and Reiki. He's not afraid of controversial subjects, because he believes in old latin proverb, "Homo sum...". He lives in Poland, where he teaches Reiki, as well as he practices other spiritual arts. On the path of his own spiritual growth, he had the opportunity to learn from Buddhist and Taoist masters, witches, shamans and many Reiki masters.

CREATING A CUSTOM MAGIC TYPE In the Adventurer Conqueror King System, there are only two types of magic: divine magic and arcane magic. All of the spellcasting character classes in ACKS and Player’s Companion use one or both of these types of magic. The two types of characters represent the most common and popular archetypes of myth, legend, film, and literature. However, they also incorporate certain assumptions that might not be appropriate for every setting. For instance, in a setting similar to Robert E. Howard’s Hyboria, the Judge might want sorcery-wielding priests who can heal and animate the dead, but learn their spells through study like mages. The rules that follow enable Judges to create new magic types with different characteristics that can be used with the Players’ Companion to create very different spellcasting classes. To create a new type of magic, follow these ten steps: 1. Develop a name and concept for the new magic type. Is it an art of illusions and d

Nickel & Dime Roleplayers are sometimes asked about their hobby. Not every day, but it happens often enough that it’s handy to be able to give a five-minute demonstration that will hopefully pique their interest for more. Nickel & Dime is just that: a demo game that’s a tiny example of a traditional RPG. It includes two five-minute encounters. To play, you need two coins of different values. In these rules, the lesser value coin is called a nickel (5¢) and the greater a dime (10¢), but any two values will do. Nickel & Dime is available in multiple genres. Pick one appropriate to the inquirer who is about to play the game. This front page is the same in each instance of Nickel & Dime, but page two is genre specific. Setup Once you have a match with the genre, help the player flesh out a character role as listed on p. 2. Then choose one of the Encounters. Character Traits There are three traits in Nickel & Dime: Vigor represents feats of agility, stre

STAR TREK ROLEPLAYING GAME SPECIES PROFILE SPECIES NAME: The LER VISUAL REPRESENTATION SPECIES ADJUSTMENTS +2 Agility, +1 Intellect, +2 Presence, +1 Perception PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The Ler (pronounced “Lair”) are a humanoid race almost genetically identical to humans. There are some internal differences, and a few noticeable external differences. But, most Federation biologists concur that the Ler are a genetic cousin to, or descendant of the human race. The Ler are taller than humans, on the average; with a Ler male being between 183 and 213 centimeters in height, and females averaging 178 to 196 centimeters. Most Ler have dark hair that they wear short, and in a loosely curled style. But, some Ler are born with lighter hair and there have even been one or two cases of blond Ler. Ler have very clear, soft skin. And they tend to have tanned complexions, due to their nature-based culture and outdoor lifestyles. Their eyes are usually dark, or gray. But their facial featur

Copyright 2001 – Thyrsus Games and Jason Roberts CHAPTER IX CHAPTER IX CHAPTER IX CHAPTER IX: ARCANA ARCANA ARCANA ARCANA X THE MARSIAN THE MARSIAN THE MARSIAN THE MARSIAN MAGICIAN MAGICIAN MAGICIAN MAGICIAN [Magus Marsicus] Before the rise of Rome, the Marsians [Marsii] inhabited strategic mountain passes in central Italia. The Marsians were allies of Rome during the Samnite and Punic Wars and were granted Roman citizenship after staging a minor uprising in the Marsic War. Although the separate nation of Marsi has disappeared, the Marsii retain many of their local traditions, including snake magic. Marsian magicians possess potent healing and water spells using snakes and their venom. While most Marsians remain near their ancestral homeland, some magi travel throughout the Imperium as itinerant healers, soothsayers and mystics.

Rules for Thieves
Alexandra Ott
Gr 46Alli Rosco escapes from her orphanage, but during her first day of freedom, she is hit by a curse. The cure is expensive, so she teams up with a boy named Beck to try to pass the trial to join the Thieves Guild and earn the money she needs. As Beck teaches Alli the rules of being a thief, she will have to decide what she is willing to do and what conflicts with her own set of values. This debut novel introduces readers to a fantastic world of orphans, thieves, magic, and adventure. Characters are well developed and balanced, though some of the secondary players are a little flat. While the world is well imagined, the background details are scarce. The plot is fast-paced and addresses ethical dilemmas. There are enough remaining loose ends to spawn a sequel, though this title can stand alone. VERDICT This compelling debut fantasy novel with complex themes, lots of action, and a good cast of characters will appeal to fantasy readers across the spectrum.Elizabeth Nicolai, Anchorage Public Library, AK

Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws: My Infiltration of America's Deadliest Biker Gangs
Charles Falco
Facing more than 20 years behind bars for manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine, Falco quickly accepted the governments offer: in return for certain considerations, he would infiltrate the Vagos, a particularly nasty Southern California biker gang. Unfortunately, Falco wasnt a biker and had no experience with biker gangs. Like William Queens Under and Alone (2005) and Jay Dobyns No Angel (2009), this is a tense, violent, frequently distasteful story of a man living in a world of extreme violence, afraid his cover could be blown at any second. Of course, Dobyns and Queen were actual undercover agents. Falco was a regular guy with no training or experience, which makes the story that much more harrowing. In describing his nearly five years living with three separate biker gangs, Falco, ably assisted by true-crime author Droban, whose Running with the Devil (2007) followed a government infiltration of the Hells Angels, makes the reader feel at least some of the fear, disgust, and sheer panic he endured. The book contains some graphic language and descriptions, but, given its subject matter, most readers will probably assume that going in. --David Pitt

A town under siege, an angry Pecos Empire Warlord, and a wedding gone very, very wrong—what happened here? The Tomorrow Legion team checks in on a small settlement on the border of the Pecos Empire, only to find the town surrounded by a force of Pecos bandits. Investigation reveals that one of the Warlord’s lieutenants was just married to one of the town’s inhabitants, but during the ceremony, a vicious fight broke out. Something’s not quite right here—and the heroes may soon discover that a far more sinister force is at work! Where There’s Smoke… The legionnaires are headed to the small town of Nathan’s Ford to check in on the inhabitants (see The Blood Menagerie One Sheet™ for more information). However, there’s a plume of black smoke arching up into the sky over the town, and surrounding the settlement are a large group of men, dog boys, and D-Bees wearing the distinctive clothing of Pecos bandits.

Mythic Minis 56 Mythic Jewels by Jason Nelson By Jason Nelson Welcome to Mythic Minis! The mythic rules system introduced in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Mythic Adventures hardback contains a wealth of new rules, but in one book there cannot be room for everything. Sometimes there are large areas to cover with extensive rules adaptations, but sometimes what you need is a power-packed punch of tightly focused rules content that contains exactly what you need for your character, creature, or whatever it may be. A half-dozen feats, a set of linked spells, a group of magic items, five mythic path abilities, and so on; that’s where Mythic Minis come in. Mythic Minis are not about exposition, philosophy, and campaign-building; they are just flat-out fantastic ideas and great mechanics for GMs and players alike, written by the same designers that helped create the official mythic rules.

Blackjack's Weapons #4 - The Cutting Edge Branson Hagerty (Blackjack's Shadowrun Page http://shadowrun.html.com/users/blackjack/) Posted March 10, 1997 Savage Lightblade The Savage is constructed of light weight materials and a diamond glazed cutting edge, thus providing the user with a wieldy weapon that delivers the damage of weapons five times its weight. Conceal: NA Reach: +2 Damage: (Str+4)M Weight: 1 Cost: 35,000 NOTES: When the blade strikes a hard object (steel, brick, etc.) roll 2D6. On a roll of 11 or 12 the Savage shatters and cannot be repaired. Hardened armor is not considered a hard object in this case because it consists of strengthened plastics. For every month of use the Savage loses 1 point off the power of its damage code due to blade degradation. The blade can not be repaired by normal armorers. >>>>>I once saw a physad going through forms with one of these. It was a graceful dance between the elf and her weapon.<<<<< -Tigger (22:32:12/03-01-58)

My Dark Future - a solitaire role-playing game by Tomas HV Mørkrid illustrated by Kristoffer Ejnermark My Dark Future This game is best played in a house by yourself. The game is meant to explore the darker recesses of your own soul, and is not suited for others to listen in on. You need this rules set, and 3 normal dice of different color (and size, if possible) to play. Read through these rules before you start. At the end of them you will find a note to keep in your hand, with a simple overview of how you play. You, a background We are what we are; our way of being human is a thin layer of conscious and civilized behavior over our deeper self; the instincts of a wild beast. Some thousands years back we had to fight for survival like most other beasts in the wild. A lot of the instincts we depended on then, are still coded into our deeper self. We are genetically programmed to face a world full of dangers. Some of us have problems adapting to a ci

Spheres Apocrypha: Cognition Talents 2 Forward Minds are limited. We can improve them with tools: writing to store information, abacuses for calculation, clocks to measure time. Magic can also supplement the mind, and the disciplines of cognition are a powerful tool indeed. Even now, arcane logicians set the course of king- doms and mystic sages unearth the secrets of reality. —An excerpt from Scholar Radha’s The Forms of Magic This supplement for Spheres of Power adds a new class of talents to the Mind sphere, (cognition) talents. Instead of influencing the minds of your allies and enemies, (cognition) talents bene- fit the caster, improving and adding new mental capabilities to their repertoire.

Enchanted, I'm Sure Case Officer Notes This scenario is playable with any mix of Agents and Friendly Investigators. It can be either an eerie investigation, with infected townsfolk operating in a covert manner to misdirect the agents, a more robust action scenario or any combination of the two. The scenario plays with the idea that advanced technology and magic are essentially the same. The setting is Asiento del Fuego, a small town in New Mexico, the only unusual thing about which would seem to be its prosperity. There is no obvious reason for the boom in investment the town is enjoying. The Case Officer should emphasise the isolation of the location and the inaccessibility of assistance due to the time of year. Whilst this is a one-off scenario, the environment and back story would allow the Case Officer to make it an introduction to a wider story arc (Tcho’Kobran who have moved away from the town and may be in positions of power, or perhaps artefacts from the vessel), a

What&acute;s Up? South! Paper Folded World Map (2x3')
ODTmaps.com
I think that the What's Up? South! map is a one of the greatest examples of how maps can present familiar information in a different and meaningful way. Nothing changes in What's Up? South! except the orientation so it reflects what a southern hemispheric person might feel is more appropriate. It's one of my favorites when I speak of how maps need to be appropriate to their uses. John Hammer - Retired USN hydrographer and three years in the presidency of the International Map Trade Association. --former president International Map Trade Association<br /><br />The What's Up? South! has been a standard in our stores for years. My opening line with map gazers is 'Aren't maps fascinating?'; This leads to a variety of conversations on how we view the earth, store product and the world of fair trade. . It sells for home, office and school use. I can't imagine not having this hanging on the wall. Candi Smucker, co-owner --Baksheesh Fair Trade, Sonoma and St. Helena, CA<br /><br />We love the ODT What's Up? South! world map and so do our customers. I've had customers spend 45 minutes studying the map in the store but they wouldn't buy it because the 56 wide format was too big to fit in their homes. This new 2x3 format will make a great Father's Day gift. There's a real shortage of good gifts for men, and it's usually the men that spend time viewing the maps while their wives shop for the fair trade/crafts items. Susan Sheldon, Manager --SERRV gift shop, Madison, Wisconsin

Modeling US Armor of World War 2 (Modelling Masterclass)
Steven J. Zaloga
"Written by prolific author, historian, and modeler Steve Zaloga, this book is a smorgasbord of Mr. Zaloga's tips, techniques, creative ideas and concepts, with valuable historical background liberally sprinkled though the book like nuggets of gold. In addition to all of the terrific information throughout the book, a bonus of sorts are the many nicely reproduced photos of Mr. Zaloga'sincredible body of work." - Chuck Aleshire, <i>AMPS</i> (October 2009)<br /><br />"The book is well suited for beginners and even has plenty to offer old dogs like me... There is not alot of wasted space on these pages. The book is content rich and enjoyable throughout. Zalogas work is also quite good and interesting to look at and captured well in the books many photos...The book is also useful to modelers who dont build US armor since many of Zalogas techniques are applicable even to other armor subjects... [The] book is so chock full of ideas and useful information that even an old cheapie like me would shell out for a copy. So would I recommend buying this book? Absolutely." -Bart Cusamano, <i>IPMS/USA </i>(December 2009)<br /><br />"First off, this one is hardbound and done so with a sort of ring binding that allows the pages to lay flat once the book is opened... Another interesting feature is that the left side pages are color coded to match color guides to the various chapters. Makes it easy to find what you are seeking in this manner.You would expect a book like this to be full of large, clear, color images with easy to read captions to help out while you duplicate some skill and that is exactly what you get with no more than three large images per page. You would also expect the book to cover as many different aspects of the genre as it could and that it does quite admirably with everything from working with resin and photo-etch to painting and detailing bases. It is all here under one cover." -Scott Van Aken, <i>Modeling Madness/modelingmadness.com </i>(December 2009)<br /><br />"<i>Modeling US Armor of World War 2 </i>offers a survey of tanks and fighting vehicles in the war and comes from a renowned modeler and AFV expert who provides a definitive guide to modeling these vehicles. Four building projects offer in-depth techniques applied to modeling efforts in a step-by-step guide packed with photos from the author's personal collection of WWII armor." -<i>California Bookwatch</i> (January 2010)

The Mondo Deck Of Fate The Mondo Deck of Fate is the improved version of the standard Deck of Fate (see “Artifacts” in the SenZar source book), having some 100 possible effects. If the character is transformed into anything, he’ll generally keep all of his former stats and abilities, unless otherwise noted. All effects are permanent. However, both bad and good effects can be removed by the burning of 1 Point, by drawing the proper card from the Mondo Deck (or the normal Deck), and/or by using a well-stated 1 Primal Point Wish. Characters can “store” any cards that can be kept on their person simply by internalizing them somewhere on their form (such as by slapping the card into their forehead, where it’ll “sink” into the forehead, vanishing from sight until it’s ready to be “popped,” which requires 1 Action Phase). The Mondo Deck of Fate theoretically has a PD of 1,000,000 (though most believe that it is actually a manifestation of The Pool itself). Creators should be warned that the a

The lake below 2 The Lake Below Rumours & Hooks Two years ago, a church was erected on the frontier shores of Lake Argos. Unknown forces set upon the building, slaying or stealing away the priestesses within. Abandoned shortly thereafter, some say a great evil lingers over the site. High Priestess Ulna is offering a handsome reward to investigate and reclaim an abandoned church. The resident clergy were killed or kidnapped by unknown forces two years earlier. A few years ago, the faithful of Argona (goddess of hope, health and happiness, female clergy only), erected a frontier church on the shores of Lake Argos. Unfortunately for the priestesses, a band of toadmen living in underwater caverns nearby took exception to the intrusion, and ate them. Investigators from the nearest town were unable to determine the fate of the clergy, and ultimately chalked it up to bandits. When the second set of priestesses also disa

But she finds Edward dead, and her efforts to locate the murderer-and the list-lead her into the dark heart of Anglo-Scottish politics and the clutches of one very fiendish laird. Though Ursula's ventures can seem far-fetched, rousing writing and a tension-filled plot carry the day. For most collections. <br />Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Each year, the men of the Southern Isles send an emissary to present an annual tithe in exchange for fair weather, good fishing, and assorted blessings. Leopold is handsome, young, and brave.

♠♥ ♣♦ At the Mudbucket Saloon the whiskey tastes like kerosene and the girls do, too, but it’s the only place in the world you can play a game of Texas Hold Up. Each player in Texas Hold Up takes on the role of a super-powered villain in the Old West. The game is played following the rules of Texas Hold ‘Em poker, but an extra deck of cards is used to represent the villains’ powers, which they can use to influence the cards on the table and the narrative of the game. Each hand of poker is a single heist, where the villains compete to see who can defeat the good-guys and get away with the loot. Suits in the powers deck represent different applications of power: destroying your environment, damaging your opponents, perceiving the hidden factors at play, or deceiving others. Each of these influences the poker hand in different ways. Every villain has different aptitudes for the various applications of power, allowing him to be more effective at some of these tasks than ot

The Velvet Claw: A Natural History of the Carnivores
David MacDonald
Their teeth--specifically, a set of scissor-like back teeth, the carnassials--define the carnivores, all descended from one common ancestor. Today there are 236 species in eight families: cat, dog, bear, weasel, civet, raccoon, hyena and mongoose. Macdonald ( The Encyclopedia of Mammals ) escorts us through 60 million years of evolution to show how feeding habits and ecological circumstances have shaped the social behavior and adaptation of these animals. He treats each family separately, from the fossil records to the present, complete with family tree. The material is smoothly written and holds one's interest. A final chapter notes the vulnerability of the top predators due to shrinking habitat, loss of genetic variability and bad luck (fires, earthquakes). Macdonald believes that 17% of the carnivores are at risk of extinction. <br />Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Creeping Claw In profane places the severed hands of those who committed wicked deeds can rise of their own will to continue their malicious habits. Necromancers are fond of raising creeping claws because they are small enough to be useful to ambush trespassers. Gangrene with Envy . Creeping claws are surprisingly vain given that they are dismembered hands but they seem to kill mortals purely for fineries such as rings and gloves. In combat, a creeping claw will always prefer to strike those with the most ostentatious hand accessories first hoping to claim their prizes and scuttle off if the creeping claw senses it will not survive remaining in the fight longer. A Cult of Creeping Claws. Creeping claws vanity are matched only by their jealousy. When many creeping claws group up they move in a group known as a cult to take down dangerous prey, each attempting to strip the deceased creature of any ornamentation it has before the others can.

Intuitive Awareness
Ajahn Sumedho
This book is compiled from talks given mostly in 2001 by Ajahn Sumedho; they convey an intuitive understanding of the Buddha's teaching which has arisen from over 35 years of practice as a Buddhist monk. <br /><br />This approach starts with accepting ourselves as we are, not as some ideal of whom we think we should be. By doing this a relaxation can take place that creates space for insight to arise. <br /><br /> Meditation can mean all kinds of things. It's a word that includes any kind of mental practices, good or bad. For his part, Sumedho means meditation as centering, that sense of establishing, resting in the center. The only way that one can really do that is not to try and think about it and analyse it; you have to trust in just a simple act of attention, of awareness.

1� More About Awareness 1� More About Awareness Awareness senses electric and magnetic fields. By extension, it senses disturbances in those fields by various masses. Aware-2 SENSING THE ETHER Awareness senses the complex jumble of electrical and magnetic fields that pervade almost every environment. Over evolutionary time, beings who have developed this sense of Awareness come to believe that what they sense is perturbations in the ether, the universal fluid which pervades all space. In a sense, this understanding provides a working model for the understanding of how Awareness works. All of space is permeated by electrical and magnetic fields and individuals sense these fields and perturbations in them. Awareness provides three types of sensory input. Relative Direction. Awareness detects the background magnetic field of a world and allows the individual to instinctively know magnetic north (assuming the world has a magnetic field). A character takes about on

What Are Crystals? (Let's Rock!)
Molly Aloian
Gr 3-5-With rocks and minerals being curriculum topics, libraries are always in need of additional, current resources. These books cover the basic information but they will not engage readers. The reading level is high for the intended age group. The introductions in Crystals, Fossils, and Minerals don't provide adequate descriptions of the relationships among rocks, minerals, and crystals, and at times the information doesn't flow smoothly between sections. The chapter spreads are busy with catchy subheadings, short paragraphs under each heading, sidebars, and activities. The photos and pictures tie in with the texts but are merely adequate. Rock hounds will probably like the "how to be" volume, which does give good information for children interested in the hobby. Steve Tomecek's Everything Rocks and Minerals (National Geographic, 2011) is a better option for curriculum use.-Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossings School, Hoover, AL(c) Copyright 2011.

The posse begins their adventure riding in a stage coach from St. Louis, Missouri to Hot Springs, Arkansas. They are all coming for the same reason...the famous Coleman Crystal. The Tombstone Epitaph has been covering the breaking story of an enormous crystal discovered by Ron Coleman near Hot Springs. According to the Epitaph, this crystal has the potential to ex- ponentially enhance Shamanistic powers that are directed through it. The Epitaph warned that the crystal could not simply be de- stroyed, it had to be carefully split in order to make it’s power less devastating. If that weren’t bad enough, Chief Red Foot is on the war path and his medicine man, Grey Fox, has the ability to actually use the crys- tal for great ill. Unfortunately, not many people outside this posse believe a word that’s printed in the Epitaph...their mistake. The ride to Hot Springs is fairly monotonous, though quite bumpy once they get past Little Rock. Suddenly, as the posse passes

The Law in Sunndi At the height of power of the Great Kingdom, that nation was renowned for it's fair, honest and efficient justice system, which was designed by the great arch-mage Schandor. During the long corruption and eventual downfall of the Great Kingdom this system did not avoid the fate of the empire that used it: the Ivids and their devilish allies perverted it beyond recognition. As part of the Great Kingdom Schandor's laws were used in Sunndi for a long time. Even though Sunndi broke away from everything that has to do with the Great Kingdom traces of this justice system can still be found within the current laws. Most rules of this system though are either unpractical (for example a judge was not allowed to hail from and/or posses ground within 300 miles of his district) or simply do not work in a society like Sunndi. Sunndi is a NG/CG society, but that does not mean there are no laws. Unlike in more lawful societies though, the laws are more open for interpr

Storytelling for Young Adults: A Guide to Tales for Teens, 2nd Edition
Gail de Vos
This updated manual has been given an attractive, modern cover; the writing is more accessible; and the use of more appealing fonts, sidebars, and bullets makes the text much easier to understand. The author stresses the importance of telling stories to young adults, and offers good advice on selecting material that will interest them. Following a chapter on storytelling basics, the book is arranged by theme and includes myths, legends, and folklore. Each section is followed by a short bibliography. All of the titles are new to this edition, so those who have the first edition will want to keep it and add this fine handbook. Title and theme indexes are included. This is a real gem for anyone working with teens.--Susannah Price, Boise Public Library, ID <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

At the second flaw, the storyteller gains the narrative power of the action and the character is at the mer- cy of the narrative, and can be considered dead, unconscious, captured or any result that the story- teller finds appropriate. Death: In this game, death is not real. Whenever the characters are found to be dead, they are actu- ally missing or detained by some supernatural enti- ty — or maybe unconscious, lost in the domains of dreams / nightmares, in dire need of rescue by their friends.

1/2 La Magie en Caribdus lundi 8 février 2010, par FX Cet article est dédié aux maîtres de jeu de 50 Fathoms. PJs, arrêtez tout de suite votre lecture, car des secrets du monde y traînent. Caribdus est un monde clé-en-main, et comme tous les mondes prêts à jouer, quand vient le temps des questions des personnages sur comment marche la magie ou quelles sont les croyances des autochtones, vous avez beau lire et relire le bouquin, vous ne trouvez pas de réponse toute faite. Ce qui suit est donc une extrapolation de plusieurs éléments : - le Roi Amemnus avait autour de lui des conseillers occultes, prophètes ou devins, pour l’avertir du rôle des trois sorcières sur Caribdus. - On parle des plaines d’Ograpog, ce qui laisse imaginer un continent assez vaste, le seul de ce monde, avec une armée massive capable d’aller chasser les Ugaks. Ograpog illustre sûrement une bulle med-fan dans un monde plutôt maritime. - les masaquani ont créé leur magie en s’inspirant de celles des autres peuple

Kryrnaa Raikin – Dark Elf diver Their arrogance and unremitting thirst for vengeance against their eastern cousins leads many Dark Elves to take to the wild seas of the Great Ocean. Originally fanatics of Khaela Mensha, this order of Scouts and Assassins has gradually learned to master the waves in their pursuit of retaliation, slavery and plunder. Among their own kind, these brazen mariners are called kryrnaa. In the land of men they are whispered as “dark corsairs”. Within these kryrnaa there exist a rare few for whom the sea has become a fascination, practically a mistress. In the tongue of the Malteeras, they are called kryrnaa raikin after the crushing darkness that many of them worship. While their unrivalled skills are admired, their solitary and independent nature leads many to be feared and distrusted by their fellow mariners. Used for various tasks, these divers are trained for endurance and to carry out specialised work underwater; repairing the hull of a s

Arcane Traditions The study of wizardry is ancient, stretching back to the earliest mortal discoveries of magic. It is firmly established in the worlds of D&D, with various traditions dedicated to its complex study. The most common arcane traditions in the multiverse revolve around the schools of magic. Wizards through the ages have cataloged thousands of spells, grouping them into categories called schools. In some places, these traditions are literally schools; a wizard might study at the School of Illusion while another studies across town at the School of Enchantment. In other institutions, the schools are more like academic departments, with rival faculties competing for students and funding. Even wizards who train apprentices in the solitude of their own towers use the division of magic into schools as a learning device, since the spells of each school require mastery of different techniques.

Revenant “Stand, run. It doesn’t matter.” “You and I both know what you've done. There is no place to hide. Not even death can hold me. And you will pay for your crimes.” - Gilbert Foliot, revenant You are a revenant, a soul which met a cruel and unjust end in life, and has clawed its way back from death for the sole purpose of revenge. You have sworn to kill those responsible for your demise, and possess a recently deceased corpse to do so (which may not be the same body you possessed in life); as such your appearance is the same as that of a common zombie. Exonerating Circumstances An ordinary revenant has exactly one year to seek vengeance, and will return to death either when its revenge is complete, or when its time is up. However, you are blessed with an entire decade. Once your revenge is complete, you may then choose to return to the afterlife at any time, or wait for your remaining time to run out.

Death in the West
Chris Becker
Reviewer Carolyn R Scheidies<br><br>DEATH IN THE WEST chronicles an assortment of deaths that have taken place in the Western part of the United States mean. Yet this book not only deals with death from a variety of accidents, death from heat, cold, falls, death by design (murder), death from wild animals and death from natural (or not so natural) disasters, but also why, in many cases, such deaths should not have occurred. Why do some live, while others die in similar circumstances? Why does an experienced individual die, while another miraculously survives?<br><br>In many cases, there are no answers. In others, attitude and motivation made the difference. Dying simply was not an option. Preparedness also could have made the difference for many. For had they not panicked, been careless, taken the simplest of precautions, they might well have survived their ordeal. <br><br>For hikers, many get so comfortable in their surroundings they make the mistake of forgetting they are in essentially a hostile environment. Every hiker should carry basic necessities such as a map and a compass, matches and kindling, extra food, water and clothing, a first aid kit and a pocket knife, something to be used for shelter if needed (blanket and rope), signaling device (at least a loud whistle), sunscreen and bug screen. Learning what to carry for survival is only one of the many things I learned from reading this book.<br><br>This book was well-written, intriguing and informative. Recommended. <br><br>CAROLYN R.

Psychic Self Defense: Powerful Protection Against Psychic or Physical Attack, Curses, Demonic Forces, Negative Entities, Phobias, Bullies & Thieves
Embrosewyn Tazkuvel
"This is a great book. It is easy to read and covers psychic defense from many angles. I have experienced many psychic and paranormal events in my life and everything the author says rings true. I also like how the author presents not just "ritualistic" type of techniques in self defense, but also the more preventative and proactive things you can do in your behavior and thinking to ward off negativity in general as well keeping negative energies and entities at bay. For me, it's great to have found someone that I know is legit. I highly recommend this book." <b><i>The Simon Cowell of book reviews</i></b><br /><br />"Regardless of your beliefs, this is an elegantly composed and greatly fascinating book. The writer's composing style easy is to follow through. After I read a couple of pages I ended up unable to put the book down. Assuming that you've generally been fascinated about whether psychic capabilities are "genuine" or perhaps that you have some of your own, this is really the book that you need to peruse." <b><i>Jayden Sanders</i></b><br /><br />"The author is passionate about what he writes. He has the abilityto draw you into the moment as if he is right there at the time of writing this guide. Some of the tips he offers for psychic defense are equally powerful in any realm of life. The information presented can be taken in many different ways and applied to your life. Whether you are a christian, psychic yourself, or just someone wishing to protect yourself from negative energies, there is something to gain from this book." <b><i>Gliding with God</i></b><br /><br />"I love this book for 2 reasons. First it validated that I wasn't alone! Other people are having these experiences too! Written in plain, heart-to-heart language that was easy to understand and meaningful. Second because it is the missing 'instruction manual' of what to do for basic protection. Simple enough that I can teach my son who is also sensitive. Priceless to be able to offer some solace. Thanks for such a great book! Look forward to reading more of this author." <b><i>Nicole Artus</i></b><br /><br />"Little unbeknownst details such as drinking a 1/2 cup of salt water before watching a horror movie, which is pertinent to maintaining spiritual protection was disclosed. Knowledge relevant to energy shields: reflection, transmutation, and absorption changed my situation over night. This book has been monumental in solidifying my protection and victory over ancient demonic entities." <b><i>Jasmine Bozeman</i></b>

Tyrants: A History of Power, Injustice, and Terror
Waller R. Newell
"The world is currently engulfed by all sorts of strongmen, authoritarians, and totalitarians. Are they all alike? Not always. In an engaging review of some 2,500 years of tyranny - drawing on a considerable knowledge of Western history and literature - Waller Newell masterfully sorts out tyrannies, ancient and modern, to remind us how they rise and why they fall - again and again. Tyrannies are the existential enemies of democracies - but not always in the same manner and to the same degree. And why that it is true makes fascinating reading." <br />Victor Davis Hanson, Martin and Illie Anderson Fellow, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University, California<br /><br />"If I could think of one book for a young lover of democracy, or democratic politician to read about tyranny - supposedly a thing of the past - it would be Waller Newell's eloquent, approachable, fascinating Tyrants. Based on an astoundingly broad knowledge of history, from ancient times to the present, from high culture to pop culture, this book penetrates into the soul of the tyrant ... This is the biography of tyranny we have been waiting for." <br />Norman Doidge, MD, Columbia University, New York and the University of Toronto, and author of The Brain That Changes Itself<br /><br />"This is a wonderful book, learned and insightful, acute and often brilliant. It is both a monument of scholarship and a call to action. Newell's Tyrants is as morally serious as a work of political philosophy and as sparkling with wit as an evening with the Marx Brothers." <br />Barry Strauss, Cornell University, New York<br /><br />"Waller Newell is the most brilliant interpreter of tyranny now alive. His stories of ancient and traditional tyranny, often left to narrow scholars, are absorbing, sometimes funny, but it is the accounts of Soviet Communism and Nazism that are most intellectually compelling and passionate. Newell can sweep untidy piles of facts into elegant phrases - 'the beautification of violence' - that capture their hidden meaning. At a moment when tyranny is coming back, everyone alert to the strangeness of our world ought to be reading this book." <br />Charles Fairbanks, The Hudson Institute<br /><br />"Waller Newell's Tyrants is a profound and original assessment of the evolution of the mass psychological basis evolving techniques of imposition of tyrannical government from ancient to modern times. It is a reinterpretation of Machiavelli's impact on the 500th anniversary of his The Prince, and attacks the relatively benign assessment of that writer as a perceptive and amoral cynic. It is a brilliant updating of the characteristics of tyranny, including its ever more pervasive banality and its comparatively recent exploitation of false ideologies and the adaptation of technology to impose totalitarian control and disguise the false and often absurd nature of the regime. This is a valuable and important book that will make a durable contribution to the vast, but not entirely up-to-date literature on the subject." <br />Lord Conrad Black<br /><br />"In a time when tyranny is resurgent all over the globe, in a bewildering variety of forms - military and civilian, theocratic and kleptocratic, ideological and tribal - this book provides a synoptic historical and philosophic perspective that does full justice to the manifold phenomenon in all its range and complexity." <br />Thomas L. Pangle, Joe R. Long Endowed Chair in Democratic Studies, University of Texas, Austin<br /><br />"Tyranny remains the oldest and most durable political phenomenon. Tyrants provides a stunning refutation of those who still believe that the historical process or the logic of the market will bring about a more peaceful democratic world. This book is a must-read for any serious student of political science." <br />Steven B. Smith, Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science, Yale University, Connecticut<br /><br />"At the highest levels of government, diplomacy and academia, are otherwise intelligent people who have convinced themselves that tyrants and tyrannies are anachronisms bound to be replaced by more enlightened forms of government. They apparently believe in a 'clock of human progress' and that the 'arc of the moral universe bends toward justice'. This rosy scenario is unsupported by the historical evidence as Waller R. Newell makes clear in his timely exploration of the durability and persistent appeal of repression." <br />Clifford D. May, President, Foundation for the Defence of Democracies<br /><br />"Since it has its roots in the angry soul, tyranny is a permanent feature of politics, and it is one of the delusions of liberal democracy and global capitalism that universal prosperity will remove the threat of tyranny forever. For Newell, tyranny is an independent factor in human life, impossible to predict or prevent, an evil that, when it arises, must simply be resisted." <br />Peter J. Leithart, First Things<br /><br />"Having published the very fine Tyranny: A New Interpretation in 2013, Tyrants is his less technical, less esoteric, more historical follow-up, and considering the internal and external pressures on liberal democracies at the moment, perhaps this engaging new contribution can do some good.' <br />Aaron MacLean, Washington Free Beacon

The Gift Wrapping Book: Over 150 Ideas for All Occasions
Caroline Birkett
Gift wrapping, according to former textile designer Birkett, is a feat to be accomplished and then admired. Her instructions include those both nimble and not and range from covering a basic box to fashioning crackers for all occasions. There is something for everyone in these 150-plus different projects. Each runs about a page or two with minimal directions, large color photographs, and occasional tips on best/alternate methods. Some of the more unusual ideas: a rose-embellished bow, an origami box, a paper fan bow, and woven paper baskets, among others. At the end are the basics: materials, tools, and the five fundamental techniques (measuring, transferring, scoring, folding, and cutting). This handy how-to will leave gift givers rapt with pleasure. <i>Barbara Jacobs</i><br /><i>Copyright American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>

There was a time in Africa when great tuskers roamed at will, from the deserts of Namibia to Mozambique, from Ethiopia to South Africa. Today, due to the growth of human settlement and the hunt for ivory, the large elephant herds have been drastically reduced so that fewer than 450 000 elephants survive. Sighting a tusker today is a magnificent event, not least because so few remain in the wild. Great tuskers includes information on ivory anatomy, ivory diseases, trade in ivory and conservation of the African elephant. But its main purpose is to share with the reader the beauty, grace and presence of the great bulls that once walked the earth, as well as the current big bulls that roam free in the few protected areas of Africa.

The Farises The best among the Guard will eventually be promoted and become part of Tusmit's elite medium cavalry force: the Farises. The Farises are mounted warriors, experts in horseback combat. They are trained in the use of the shortbow and the lance among other weapons. Farises are respected throughout Tusmit. These troops are loyal to the Pasha and must dedicate their lives to the protection of the nation. Because of the rigorous training of these men and the countless sacrifices they must make, they are highly regarded by the population and enjoy a certain prestige that other soldiers can only envy them. Although despite their prestigious stature among the folk of their homeland, the Farises of Tusmit are looked upon with some contempt by their more noble Ekbirian counterparts. Tusmit adopted the Faris following the Ekbirrian occupation of Tusmit. Since then the Tusman and Ekbirrian Faris look at each other as rivals to be outdone. Requirements • Tusmit citizen • 1 year

The Guard In Tusmit, each sheikdom contributes to the nation's military force. A sheik must provide the Pasha with a certain number of men that will become part of the permanent military force of the nation: the Guard. The Guard is Tusmit's permanent military force. It is composed of soldiers from all around Tusmit. Each sheikdom is responsible for building and training its own military force. Some of these soldiers will become part of The Guard. They train and work in their respective sheikdom until the Pasha needs their assistance. His Exalted Splendour of Tusmit always has total control over the Guard and can move troops as he wishes. Members of the Guard are trained in a variety of weapons and armours. Different units make up the Guard. Each sheik is expected to build and train Guard units such as archers, infantry, scouts and light cavalry. The sheikdoms and the central government share the upkeep and training expenses of the troops. Requirements • Tusmit Citizen • 1 Year

The Ultimate Guide to Weapon Use and Defense
David Erath Jr
"David has done a great job analyzing techniques and concepts from several martial disciplines and creating a truly functional self defense system that works under pressure with an uncooperative opponent. It is not just a collection of random techniques, but rather a well thought out systematic and conceptual approach to practical and realistic self defense. If you are new to self defense or are an inveterate martial artist, you owe it to yourself to study Functional Self Defense." - James Wilson, Crescent City Eskrima

Down Range: A Sniper's Guide to Hitting Your Target
Christian W. Schoedlbauer
The author, Christian W. Schoedlbauer, is a former Sniper and Sniper School Instructor in the German Military, with combat experience in the mountains of Afghanistan. He has combined the techniques he learned in the German Federal Defense Force Infantry Sniper School, techniques he developed over time, and techniques shown to him from snipers in both the United States Army and United States Marine Corp. With over 85,000 rounds fired through his sniper rifles during active duty, rifle shooting became second nature. His personal record was hitting a six inch diameter target at 1000 meters (1094 yards) 42 times consecutively and a human size target at 2000 meters (2187 yards) 7 times consecutively with his .338 Lapua Magnum rifle. Years of experience and dedication to perfection, coupled with professional expertise, has allowed Christian W. Schoedlbauer to provide you with the best precision rifle shooting instructional book ever written.

Battle Cruiser: Prototype
David Schleifer
David Schleifer was born in Queens, New York in 1962. He was educated and raised in Miami, Florida. He studied 18 years of Martial Arts under the Cuong Nhu system. He also was a practitioner of Kendo, Japanese sword fencing. Currently he is studying the art of Aikido under Weewow-Sensei at Gold Coast Aikikai. He also studied and researched both military and Navy tactics as well as Japanese History.His writing career actually began in 1979 with the original concept draft of Battlecruiser. But after joining the Florida Romance Writers in 1987 did he really start to produce manuscripts. In 1991, David Schleifer received his Diploma for passing the Advance Novel Writing Workshop from the Writer's Digest School. David believes that writing is as much an art form as sketching or martial arts. Only by dedicating continuous determination will he be able to perfect his writing skills. Like any artist, he is never truly satisfied with his work, and so, he continues to produce newer manuscripts with the idea of advancing better with each new work.

Future Man
Bruno De Marques
<i> "Highly imaginative" ... "Action packed book" ... "This wildly creativework certainly takes readers to many unexpected places."<em> - Kirkus Reviews</em></i><br /><br /><span>"<i>FutureMan began with the real historical research of Rainer Daehnhardt, aboutactivities in Antarctica by the Third Reich during the 1930s and 40s. Fromthere, the book is a wild, thrilling adventure. It's made better by dialoguethat really sounds like it comes from real people."<br />"The story takes place in present tense ...and writer Bruno de Marques is on the cutting edge. I got used to it. It ratchets up the tension, as if it's happening right now and you, the reader,are right there."<br />"This is a potent combo of history, science and adventure."</i> -<i>Joe Crowe / RevolutionSF</i></span>

Heroes Unlimited Backgrounds Options The purpose of the backgrounds is to allow a player further develop his or her character beyond the traditional Palladium Books character generation rules through a system of Merits and Flaws. Each character receives fifteen (15) points to purchase Merits and fifteen (15) points to purchase Flaws. The player need not spend all of the points and should not spend them for the sake of spending the points. Each background gives the character certain advantages and disadvantages. A player should have to explain why the character has each background. It should not be because the player thinks that the background is just plain cool. If the character takes a 15 point Special Equipment Merit, the player should explain why he has a 15 point merit, and it better be a good reason. The GM may use Debt and Wanted backgrounds to create more interesting and character-based adventures and campaigns. A character with the Dark Fate background could be the focus of an
