  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • 2020 Annual Report Annual 2020
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ANNUAL SKECHERS USA, INC. 228 Manhattan Beach Blvd. REPORT Manhattan Beach, California 90266 February 2021 To our Shareholders, We would like to express our sincere hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this on-going health crisis. We began 2020 with the same positive momentum that drove record revenues in 2019. The first quarter showed significant growth until COVID-19 leaped from Asia to Europe, the United States and virtually every market around the globe. By the end of March, most of the world pressed pause as the pandemic took hold and within weeks, we temporarily closed offices and stores, and faced a new normal of doing business and living. At Skechers, the ability to pivot quickly has been a hallmark of our business and success since our beginning. 2020 put our flexibility to the test as we adapted to this new reality. With the global infrastructure we have in place, our teams around the world were able to effectively work from home. The speed of our actions early on allowed us to weather the worst of the pandemic in the first and second quarters with as minimal impact as possible considering the unprecedented challenges. By the close of the second quarter, China had already returned to sales growth of 11.5 percent, and many of our biggest international markets, including Germany and the United Kingdom, showed meaningful recovery. Our quick action and our efforts to efficiently manage both inventory and expenses also resulted in Skechers emerging in a relatively strong position as markets began to re-open.

  • DATE: January 11, 2012 TO: Board Of
    DATE: January 11, 2012 TO: Board of Commissioners FROM: Patrick Quinton, Executive Director SUBJECT: Report Number 11-80 Update on the Athletic and Outdoor Industry Cluster EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BOARD ACTION REQUESTED None ─ information only. SUMMARY The athletic and outdoor (A&O) industry was identified as one of four target industry clusters in the City of Portland‟s five-year Economic Development Strategy (Strategy). In November 2010, the Portland Development Commission (PDC) unveiled an industry defined action plan (see Attachment A), an online directory of firms and an “infographic” poster (see Attachment B) that provides a visual representation of cluster business connections and industry evolution over time. The A&O action plan acts as the guiding framework to further Portland‟s competitiveness and recognition as the hub of the A&O industry, enhance collaboration within the industry, and to attract and retain A&O businesses, talent, and jobs. The action plan was a result of extensive conversations with industry leaders. Key components of the action plan include Leadership/Innovation, Talent, Entrepreneurship/Community, and Branding. Since November 2010, an advisory committee composed of representatives from Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Icebreaker, Yakima, and Horny Toad/Nau has taken the lead in driving implementation of the action plan. At the PDC Board meeting, staff will give an update on recent action plan accomplishments such as sponsorship of the Outdoor Industry Association‟s Rendezvous event, the creation and unveiling of a film that promotes Portland‟s prominence as an A&O hub, and the December 6, 2011 A&O industry celebration. BACKGROUND The Economic Development Strategy is predicated on the implementation of a cluster approach to create jobs.
