In this lightless realm, countless treasures await those who are brave enough to venture into the depths. However, this is no small task, for strange creatures exist below the earth. Nonetheless, the proud Dwarves have managed to carve a thriving society out of unforgiving stone, creating architectural marvels far beneath the earth. Dwarves are well-known as excellent craftsmen and their halls are works of exceptional beauty, decorated with intricate carvings and precious gemstones. Living high atop (and deep within) inhospitable mountains, they rely on the riches of the Underdark to survive. Dwarf clans regularly trade with their surface-dwelling allies and are known enemies of Orcs, Goblins and other evil subterranean races. Their vast riches often attract jealous eyes from other races, leading them to have a dim view of outsiders - most of whom are assumed to be bandits or con-men out to relieve the Dwarves of their hard Bookwon gold.of Grudges So it is to the Dwarves we dedicate this - a collection of enemies from lore and legend, arrayed against our sturdy heroes. You will also find in-depth instruction on how to recreate dungeons, crypts or even a Stronghold of your very own to challenge your players and bring tales of glory to life.

  • Superheroes & Stereotypes: a Critical Analysis of Race, Gender, And
    SUPERHEROES & STEREOTYPES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE, GENDER, AND SOCIAL ISSUES WITHIN COMIC BOOK MATERIAL Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2018 Committee: Alberto González, Advisor Eric Worch Graduate Faculty Representative Joshua Atkinson Frederick Busselle Christina Knopf © 2018 Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González, Advisor The popularity of modern comic books has fluctuated since their creation and mass production in the early 20th century, experiencing periods of growth as well as decline. While commercial success is not always consistent from one decade to the next it is clear that the medium has been and will continue to be a cultural staple in the society of the United States. I have selected this type of popular culture for analysis precisely because of the longevity of the medium and the recent commercial success of film and television adaptations of comic book material. In this project I apply a Critical lens to selected comic book materials and apply Critical theories related to race, class, and gender in order to understand how the materials function as vehicles for ideological messages. For the project I selected five Marvel comic book characters and examined materials featuring those characters in the form of comic books, film, and television adaptations. The selected characters are Steve Rogers/Captain America, Luke Cage, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Jean Grey, and Raven Darkholme/Mystique. Methodologically I interrogated the selected texts through the application of visual and narrative rhetorical criticism.

Loadenthal: Professor Xavier is a Gay Traitor! Professor Xavier is a Gay Traitor! An Antiassimilationist Framework for Interpreting Ideology, Power and Statecraft Michael Loadenthal, George Mason University Abstract: Ideology is an integral component in the reproduction of power. Integral to this central tenet of statecraft is the regulation of identity and proscribed methods of social engagement—positive portrayals of “good citizenry” and delegitimized representations of those challenging hegemony. Through an Althusserian and linguistic analysis, positioning the X-Men movie franchise as an Ideological State Apparatus (ISA), one can examine the lives of mutants portrayed in the text as indicative of preferred methods of state- legitimized sociopolitical interaction.
