  • Steve Jackson Games Contents Introduction
    Want to create a superhero? A wuxia fighter? An earth-shattering psi? A wizard or shaman with abilities beyond spells and rituals? A god? With the GURPS Basic Set and Powers, you have POWERS everything you need to create superhuman heroes: 5 Case-by-case advice on how to turn over 100 advantages from the Basic Set into superhuman abilities – with new modifiers, variant traits, optional rules, and plenty of examples. 5 Five flexible new advantages: Control, Create, Illusion, Leech, and Static. 5 Dozens of new enhancements and limitations to fine-tune your abilities. 5 Energy Reserves to fuel abilities, “alternative abilities” that don’t all work at once, and ways to substitute abilities you have for those you don’t. 5 Hundreds of sample abilities – energy blasts, curses, defenses, mental gifts, and more. 5 Rules for powers – groups of abilities linked by origin – with over 40 ready-to-use examples. 5 Guidelines on biological, chi, divine, elemental, magical, moral, nature, psionic, spirit, and super powers – even godlike cosmic powers – and their interactions. 5 Advice to GMs on how to keep it fun and prevent high-powered heroes from taking over! GURPS Powers requires the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition, and replaces the Third Edition books GURPS Supers and GURPS Psionics. The advice on abilities and powers can be used with any game that features superhuman characters.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • Science Fiction
    Science Fiction The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu When out-of-shape IT technician Roen Tan woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasn’t. He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes. Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like that’s going to end up well… 2014 YALSA Alex Award winner The Testing (The Testing Trilogy Series #1) by Joelle Charbonneau It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for— is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civiliZation. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.
