  • Official Type Moon Servant Supplement
    Official Type Moon Servant Supplement This is the updated Servant Supplement. It is largely the same as the old supplement, albeit updated with new additions from the Fate series. This supplement is to be used to create Servant‟s for the Fate and Fate/Extra jumps, along with any jumps in the future that relate to the creation of Servants. This PDF will guide you through the process of creating your own Servant. Important Note Servants are legendary beings from mythology and fiction, but not all fiction is valid for use. Anything created before 1900 should be perfectly fine, but once it hits the 20th century it becomes iffy. Very early literature in the 1900s should work, but mid-late 20th century and beyond wouldn‟t. Anything from contemporary media such as Comics, Anime/manga, videogames, tv shows or movies is automatically barred. Likewise, any still living character or future character in your particular timeline is not purchasable as a Servant. They have to be dead and EMIYA was a special case that required the intervention of one of the most powerful beings in setting (Alaya) to be sent back in time. You may not summon Servants from previous jump worlds, unless it is a companion you already have with you in which case you may import them as normal. Divine Spirits are also unable to be summoned in Fate jump. These include any sort of God, Titan, Angel etc. However, they are summonable in Fate/Extra, though they will obviously be limited to what stats you can buy for them.

  • Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play a Dissertation
    The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Todd L. Harper November 2010 © 2010 Todd L. Harper. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play by TODD L. HARPER has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Mia L. Consalvo Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARPER, TODD L., Ph.D., November 2010, Mass Communications The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play (244 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mia L. Consalvo This dissertation draws on feminist theory – specifically, performance and performativity – to explore how digital game players construct the game experience and social play. Scholarship in game studies has established the formal aspects of a game as being a combination of its rules and the fiction or narrative that contextualizes those rules. The question remains, how do the ways people play games influence what makes up a game, and how those players understand themselves as players and as social actors through the gaming experience? Taking a qualitative approach, this study explored players of fighting games: competitive games of one-on-one combat. Specifically, it combined observations at the Evolution fighting game tournament in July, 2009 and in-depth interviews with fighting game enthusiasts. In addition, three groups of college students with varying histories and experiences with games were observed playing both competitive and cooperative games together.
