Wildlands a Homebrew Setting and Conversion for This Is Not a Test By: Mike R
Wildlands A Homebrew Setting and Conversion for This is Not a Test By: Mike R. and Jeff S. Summary: A fantasy conversion for This Is Not a Test, the premise is that a group of inventors created a powerful device known as the Mueller Gateway. It opened a portal into a parallel and unnatural realm known as the Immaterial. They hoped to harness the power of this realm, but instead were driven mad by exposure to it. They lost control of their device, and in doing so released a plague of interdimensional horrors into an area known as the Wildlands; the region they had set up their workshop. The Empire, fighting a war in the North with the barbaric Orc hordes, has been forced to turn to mercenaries to help quell the outbreak. The Emperor himself placed a bounty on each and every creature, to be paid upon proof of death. Now Mercenary Warbands roam the Wildlands, hunting the beasts and each other. You play as one of these Warbands, and your goal is simple: Hunt creatures, stop other Warbands from doing the same, and get paid. Rule Changes: The rules are basically the same with some minor variations Term and Name Changes: Robot = Golem Mutant = Touched Primitive = Common Support Weapon = Artillery Creature = Beast Warband = Company Modern = Uncommon Relic = Curio Heavy Improvised = Improvised Great Weapon Heavy Weapon = Great Weapon Light Improvised = Improvised Hand Weapon Light Weapon = Hand Weapon Small Blade = Dagger Mauler = Halberd Slaughter Blade = Falchion Maw-Maw’s Pry Bar = The Spirit of the Knight Exemplar Bow = Short Bow Black Powder -

Christianity in Nagaland SASHILA JAMIR
Word & World Volume 37, Number 4 Fall 2017 Christianity in Nagaland SASHILA JAMIR hile the North Americans are “still holding on to at least the language of WGod and a sense of spirituality,” the Naga people and their culture are im- bued with a deep sense of the reality of God.1 Where American Christianity has ex- perienced a decline in church membership fueled in part by cultural rejection of “labels, doctrines, and organizational forms of Christianity,” the Nagas are deeply spiritual and religious with strong support of organized ecclesiastical institutions.2 They gather together in their churches long before Sunday worship begins to make sure that they secure a seat in the inner space of the church (many sit outside the church). Almost all the local congregations are expanding and modifying the ar- chitecture of the church buildings. Many churches have recreated new spacious buildings with sophisticated technology and modern, trendy interiors. However, despite this quantitative growth in church membership and material prosperity, the Naga Church is not free from cultural and religious challenges. Naga Christianity exists in a complicated reality of challenging sociopolitical, cultural, and economic conditions. The church struggles to maintain her Christian identity in the midst of one of Asia’s oldest unresolved political conflicts. And yet it 1Josh de Keijzer, “Is there Christian faith after religion?

5 Abkhazia: Living with Insecurity
5 Abkhazia: Living with insecurity Maxim Gvindzhiya Destroyed building in Sukhum(i) PHOTO: ANNA MATVEEVA Summary When conflict with Georgian forces broke out in August 1992, many Abkhaz were armed only with hunting rifles, though more advanced weapons were soon acquired from Russian troops, either by negotiation or unilateral seizure. The SALW used were mostly of Soviet/Russian origin. Since the conflict ended in 1993, SALW have remained widespread. The local population still feels insecure, and in such circumstances, people are reluctant to hand in their weapons. Tension is particularly high in the Gal(i) region, which lies on the de facto Abkhaz border that forms a ceasefire line with Georgia proper. The government of the unrecognised Republic of Abkhazia has had some success in regulating SALW proliferation. Legal arms sales are better controlled, and the MOI keeps a register of all individuals who possess arms. Legislation has been passed on the possession and trafficking of firearms. However, whenever tension escalates at the border, guns again become more visible in society. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · ABKHAZIA Traditional gun A close affinity with guns and pastoral gun possession, especially in the mountain culture areas, is rooted in the cultural traditions of the Abkhaz. In the past, an Abkhaz man typically provided his family with food by hunting, fishing or farming and these trad- itions remain strong. Today, coupled with the impact of the war, the Abkhaz attitude to weapons is still largely governed by tradition. Traditional Abkhaz culture stresses the importance of firearms in society, and these ideas are instilled in the Abkhaz from birth. -

Exploring New Technologies for Hunting Review and Recommendations December 2017
DRAFT 12/11/2017 EXPLORING NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR HUNTING REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS DECEMBER 2017 A white paper analyzing the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America, a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques and tactics Wyoming Game and Fish Department Committee Members Aaron Kerr Dustin Shorma Dustin Kirsch Irah Leonetti Tara Hodges Nick Roberts Jeff Short Joe Sandrini EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hunting equipment technology has advanced greatly over the past few decades and continues to expand at a rapid rate. This change in hunting technology has led to concerns from wildlife management professionals, the hunting public, legislators and other interested parties regarding maintenance of fair chase and ethical hunting practices. In August, 2017, a Wyoming Game and Fish Department committee was established to examine various pieces of high-tech equipment available for hunting and suggest ways to address them in relation to fair chase and ethical hunting. The committee was also tasked with looking at ways to analyze potential future technological developments within the same arena. The assembled committee discussed and outlined the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America and developed a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques, and tactics. The framework divides fair chase into two categories for consideration, one related to an animal’s ability to avoid detection and the other concerned with the animal's ability to elude harvest if detected. The first category is subdivided into traditional and modern methods of detecting game, and the second is delineated by distances a hunter must stalk within to make a reasonable attempt at a quick and humane kill. -

Hunting Paths in the Amazon: Technics and Ontogenesis Among the Panará
Dossier Technique, power, transformation - Environments and territories Hunting paths in the Amazon: technics and ontogenesis among the Panará Fabiano Campelo Bechelany 1 1 Universidade Federal do Sul e Sudeste do Pará, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais do Araguaia-Tocantins, Marabá/PA, Brasil Abstract This paper presents a description of hunting and an analysis of its technical relations among the Panará, an indigenous group which inhabits southern Amazonia. The paper is focused around two genetic processes of hunting: the individuation of the hunter and the constitution of a hunting territory. In this sense, it approaches the constitution of the hunter as person in relation with his weaponry, a technical object that is the mediator between the hunter’s action and the prey; afterwards, it approaches the forms of environment that emerges from the movement across the forest and through the production of hunting paths where the prey is encountered. The analysis of these aspects allows us to get insight of the hunting activity from the point of view of its actions, materials and interactions with the environment, from the analysis of technical elements which are socially relevant and construct important modes of relation between Panará and their territory.
