    Liturgical Responses to a Pandemic Crafting Comfort for Those We Serve Collected by Rabbi Shira Stern, D.Min, BCC [email protected] A.Traditional Liturgy Reframed: 1. Hashkiveinu during the Pandemic by Rav Jeffrey Astrachan This evening, we join with the rest of the world in praying for a quick and positive end to the crisis in which we find ourselves. We pray for those who are sick and dying, and for those tending to their care. We pray for their families, and for those who are most anxious about getting sick. We pray for leaders faced with making difficult choices with lasting consequences. We pray for students whose hopes for celebrating their accomplishments have been thwarted. We pray for all those in the work-force who have been – and who will be – directly impacted by the need for social-distancing. Tonight, I offer a prayer that comes to us from our liturgy, which we call “Hashkiveinu.” It is a nighttime prayer that asks God for protection and blessing. It seems fitting to offer these words tonight: Grant, O God, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our Guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace. Guide us with Your good counsel; for Your Name’s sake, be our help. Shield and shelter us beneath the shadow of Your wings. Defend us against enemies, illness, war, famine and sorrow. Distance us from wrongdoing. For You, God, watch over us and deliver us. For You, God, are gracious and merciful. Guard our going and coming, to life and to peace evermore.

  • TALISLANTA MAGIC SYSTEM Second Edition Revised (SER) System V3.4
    TALISLANTA MAGIC SYSTEM Second Edition Revised (SER) System v3.4 Magic in Talislanta is a powerful but limited art practiced in as many different ways as there are cultures and races in the world. They key to understanding how magic works in the game is to remember that the largest part of the magical knowledge of the ancients was lost during The Great Disaster, and what remains is but a fraction of the spells, enchantments and magical items of that forgotten age. Rules Spellcasting is governed by Magic Rating (MR). MR = (INT+WIL+PER) ÷ 3. A magician may cast as many spells per day as his MR. The spellcaster rolls d20 + MR – Spell Level on the Action Table to determine the results of a spell. There are 15 Greater Spells that are commonly known across most Talislantan races & cultures. There are countless Lesser Spells with more minor effects that can be invented by the GM on the spot. There are dozens of lost Archaen spells that have to be unearthed during the course of play. These are initially known only to the GM and are often tied to particular magical races or traditions. There are over 30 different magical traditions which govern how spellcasting is performed, from Sawila Spellweaving to Cymrillian Wizardry to Rajan Necromancy &c. Each tradition knows certain greater spells and a few secret spells, and has spellcasting bonuses and limitations. Starting PC magicians know as many greater spells as their Magic Rating (eg, a magician with a MR of+5 would know 5 spells). Once all spells are expended, the magician must rest 7 hours to regain them.
