June 03 This Is an Archive of Actively Maintained Links to RPG Troves June 03 This is an archive of actively maintained links to RPG Troves. Each one is a single game, theme, or publisher, and strives to be complete. See an (offline) trove you mirrored or happen to collect? Toss up a link! It's never too late to become a curator. /Drop, /Donate, /Submit, etc. links are for filling gaps in troves. If you're suspicious of a file's hygiene, please denote so in the filename. - - - PLEASE BUY A COPY OF THE BOOKS THAT YOU USE. - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you wanted to help, you could join the Anon Brigade by becoming a Curator and/or by finding stray PDFs for other Curators. Pick a game or small publisher you like that’s not too big and complete it as best you can easily. Really prolific games can be divided into components; by edition, setting, publisher etc. Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken down, put it up again later. Using indirect links like $nip li or pasteb!n has a real advantage in that this document will tend to stay valid without constant editing. I found this big honking list of rpgs, that probably means everyone else has known about it for ages. It stopped in 2007, it has descriptions and stuff. http://www.darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ This one started in 2008 http://www.thefreerpgblog.com/ - - - Sorry for the incomplete links and funny L33t spelling of upload site names ss, @SS or $$ is Send Spaace, m3g@ is Megaa, <d0t> is a period or dot as in dot com $n!p<dot>li, s00<dot>gd, and h1v3<dot>@m links are cAsE sEnSeTiVe If $n!p<dot>li is finicky, try $n!pli<dot>com instead. There is a u$ercl0ud and a u$er$cl0ud, be careful to go to the correct one. Add the hypertext protocol colon stuff to the front then the upload site spelled correctly, then add the final gibberish to build a complete link.

All nations seek it constantly because it is the key to greatness — sometimes to survival. That intangible is the electric and elusive quality known as leadership. GEN Mark Clark 8420010_LT1_p002-015 8/14/08 1:31 PM Page 3 Introduction to Army Leadership ■ 3 Introduction As a junior officer in the US Army, you must develop and exhibit character—a combination of values and attributes that enables you to see what to do, decide to do it, and influence others to follow. You must be competent in the knowledge and skills required to do your job effectively. And you must take the proper action to accomplish your mission based on what your character tells you is ethically right and appropriate. This philosophy of Be, Know, Do forms the foundation of all that will follow in your career as an officer and leader. The Be, Know, Do philosophy applies to all Soldiers, no matter what Army branch, rank, background, or gender. SGT Leigh Ann Hester, a National Guard military police officer, proved this in Iraq and became the first female Soldier to win the Silver Star since World War II. Silver Star Leadership SGT Leigh Ann Hester of the 617th Military Police Company, a National Guard unit out of Richmond, Ky., received the Silver Star, along with two other members of her unit, for their actions during an enemy ambush on their convoy.
