Ugly As Sin A hag’s natural form is twisted and ugly, and most humanoids find it deeply unpleasant to look upon. She may have blackened or missing teeth, or spiders in her hair and the folds of her clothes, or fingers that are unnaturally long and clawed. Most hags choose to go in disguise amongst humanoids, except when showing their true form might be beneficial, for example, to terrify lesser creatures into doing her bidding. Time-Honoured Grudges No one holds a grudge like a hag. Even the least malevolent keeps track of every slight, real or imagined, against her and nurses that grudge like a child. Some grudges are inherited from a parent or an older coven member. What’s more, hags don’t die of old age – they just get older and wick- eder until they run into something nastier than they are, and it kills them – which means some of their grudges are older than many human towns.

But that book is also the culmination of all the work I’ve done on this series over the last couple of years.

Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community. This thesis focuses on how the community is important to the consumption of copyrighted cultural texts and how this creates of meaning in players’ lives. iv To my parents, James and Jona, who always encouraged me. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

Dungeons & Dragons Ultimate RP
Dungeons & Dragons Ultimate RP By Tyler Schubert Dungeons & Dragons is known for the most part as the biggest roleplaying game. Some can consider it a board game, it all depends on how the group of friends plays it. The people at Wizards of The Coast have been making sure D&D has been a great experience for those that want a way to express imagination for 24 years. No matter who you are, D&D is no longer considered the “Nerd’s Game.” There is something for everyone to play: a human cleric able to strike with lightning, an elven wizard shooting off fireballs like its nothing, or even a straight up behemoth of a goliath barbarian smashing its way through problems. With each new edition of D&D, the people at Wizards of the Coast add new content to make the game as real as possible. No rules are set in stone and everything is fair game. Want to topple a kingdom because they bad mouthed your character? Go for it. Become a literal politician with high charisma, or even just sneak and lie your way out of situations. All that matters is how your DM tells your story. This game may not be for everyone considering how much commitment that is needed to play it, but it no longer has to be a year long game to get anywhere, it can be a single session and you will have the best time of your life. There are so many possibilities of how you can play and what you can play as, the only limit is how much imagination you have.

Dragons are jealous creatures, guarding their hoards and knowledge from all comers. Some few among the metallics are benevolent enough to aid those in need, but never at the expense of their own wealth. Scions of ancient wisdom and powers that near godhood in some worlds, dragons have been the centerpiece of any tale of glory or magic. Yet, there comes a time, even for dragons, when it is beneficial to split their power. Perhaps to empower a minion to act on their behalf, sowing discord among their enemies. Perhaps to protect their own lineage among the mortals, when a line fails to produce a sorcerer. Maybe they are willing to give a fraction of themselves for reasons beyond mortal ken, as they approach their twilight years and begun to understand the motivations of gods. None can truly know the motivations of a dragon, but there are a few individuals out there that benefit from their power, forming binding pacts with their scaled patrons.
