Monster of the Week Monster of the Week Monster of the Week Monster of The Week By Michael Sands Illustrated by Daniel Gorringe Edited by Steve Hickey First edition, June 2012. ISBN (print edition): 978-0-473-20466-2 ISBN (PDF edition): 978-0-473-20467-9 For Amanda and Zelda with love, for their support and tolerance over the very long time this game was in development. Acknowledgements Thanks go to many people who helped me with this game. Firstly, to Vincent Baker for Apocalypse World, and for not minding that I took his rules and changed them all around to fit my vision. Also, to the many playtesters who indulged me by joining in and hunting monsters over four or five years of development (especially my regular Monday night crew: Scott Kelly, Bruce Norris, Andrew McLeod, Jason Pollock, and Stefan Tyler). Steve Hickey, who edited the game, was one of my first enthusiastic fans, the first Keeper (aside from me), and has provided great feedback throughout the process. Thanks to my other early fans: Jenni Dowsett, Sophie Melchior, Hamish Cameron, and Stefan Tyler. Daniel Gorringe for the art: he was on the same page as me instantly in terms of style, and his work is fantastic. Thanks to Amanda Reilly, Todd Furler, Patrice Hede, Stephanie Pegg, and Peter Aronson for finding typos above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks also to everyone who contributed to the game's fundraising campaign: the game would have been much rougher without you. And, finally, to my wife and daughter. As the dedication says, they put up with a lot while I was writing, and were supportive all along. Play-testers Roll of Honour Final edition: Andrew McLeod, Scott “It'll be fine” Kelly, Jason “Dark past” Pollock, and Stefan “Unstoppable” Tyler, Steve Hickey, Sophie Melchior, Hamish Cameron, Jenni Dowsett, Svend Andersen, Celeste Mackintosh, Wayne Ulyate, Dale Elvy, Karen Wilson, Stephanie Pegg, Ellen Couch, Andy Millar, and Nick Cole. Many more people playtested earlier versions. Thanks to you all.

  • Military Callsign List As of April 2009
    MILITARY CALLSIGN LIST AS OF APRIL 2009 Compiled by Ron ([email protected]) This list is the work of many people. I started in 1998 with a basic list that I pulled off of the web. That list had been compiled by Hugh Stegman, a highly respected radio hobbyist and columnist for Monitoring Times. In the intervening years I have added callsigns that I myself have heard and verified as well as those from various “seasoned”, respected milcomer’s and HF utility communications hobbyists here in the US as well as Europe. Background: One has to take most military calls with a grain of salt. They are often used by more than one unit. Also, the US military is closing bases left and right, moving and combining things, transferring tasks to the reserves, and the like. For basically historical reasons I have left in many of the daily changing tactical callsigns used by the Offutt & Tinker units. We may not see them again, but then again they could be reused. A callword is a station identifier without numbers, such as Mudbug Control. A callsign is one with numbers, such as Abnormal 10. Static callsigns/callwords of air tankers tend to associate with gasoline, gas stations, or fuel in general, though the association gets pretty vague. Fighters are more macho. A few callsigns/callwords are acronyms, such as ARIA (Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft), JOINT STARS/JSTARS (Joint Surveillance Tactical Radar System), SPAR (Special Priority Air Resource); and SAM (Special Air Mission). Many CPs, Air National Guard or CAP units, and the like, derive callwords from geographical characteristics of their locations, i.e AK-SAR-BEN (Nebraska backwards, and a popular horse track), MUDBUG (near the Mississippi "big muddy" delta, where mudbug crabs are found), and HIGH ROLLER (Nevada ANG, Reno).
