POINTS OF PLAY "Knowledge is The Power over Fate." Trekwill coat of arms In the course of designing a module there are often aspects of play that may need extra attention to give the module different approaches to the game. This is a quick summary of some of the things that players may want to consider, especially if you are an experienced player and have pre-conditioned views of the way things were in other modules. Tactics Affect Tactics advantage is limited to +100% as an overall modifier. Public Works/and SEI Cap Maximum starting amount of public works allowed is 6 and the SEI maximum 1000. During the course of some of the games there may be conditions in game that will allow the players to alter this limit. Troop Training Limits The maximum training level of troops that can be trained with a basic soldier training order is level 8. The quantity of troops that can be trained of the same race as the sponsor, or the sponsor's compatible races, is 3 times his tactics. You cannot train troops that the sponsor's race hates or who hate the race of the sponsor. All others may be trained at the rate of 1 soldier per 1 point of tactics. Inflicting Special Status No status has been purposely designed with the idea of being inflicted. If you see this, you are either chewing on too much Mandrake or there is a bug. Let the GM know in the latter case. Rite Spells and Taking Control of Characters The Necromancer Rite spells of Morghoul, Spectre, Wraith and Vampire may only be cast on dead characters. Further, the target must be a Pagan or a Deathwalker follower or an Unbeliever AND the Sponsor must be either a Pagan or a Deathwalker follower for the Rite spell to work so that the sponsor will gain control over the target as per the standard Legends II rules and restrictions. This applies to both arcane Necromancer spell users as well as when the Rite spells are in a

  • Suggested Reading Orders of Books and Stories in Anne Mccaffrey's Pern Series
    SUGGESTED READING ORDERS OF BOOKS AND STORIES IN ANNE MCCAFFREY’S PERN SERIES Fans often ask for advice as to the order in which to read the books in the popular Dragonriders of Pern© series. Anne McCaffrey herself politely suggests you should read them in the order in which they were published. For most of the series written by Anne the chronological order is also the publication order but the Pern Series is the notable exception. For those of you who prefer to read (or re-read) the Pern Series in chronological or story line order we are including a second, chronological list. However, this list cannot give a pure chronological order because that is an impossibility – some of the books and stories take place during the same time period. For example, a book like The Renegades of Pern spans a long pe- riod of Pern’s history in the run up to and during the Ninth Pass. As such, it runs parallel to several other books in the series. A graphic display of chronological order is added to illustrate this and as a handy overview. 1. Pern Books and Stories in order of Publication (stories in italics) • Dragonflight (1968) The short stories Weyr Search and Dragonrider are incorporated in this book. • Dragonquest (1971) • Dragonsong (1976) • Dragonsinger 1977) • The Smallest Dragonboy, in: Get Off The Unicorn (1977) and A Gift of Dragons (2002) • The White Dragon (1978) The earlier publication A Time When (1975) is incorporated in this book. • Dragondrums (1979) • Moreta: Dragonlady Of Pern (1983) • Nerilka’s Story (1984) • Dragonsdawn (1988) • The Impression, in: The Dragonlover’s Guide To Pern (1989) • The Renegades of Pern (1989) • All The Weyrs of Pern (1991) • Rescue Run (1991) • The Dolphin’s Bell (1993) • The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall (1993) The earlier publications Rescue Run (1991) and The Dolphin’s Bell (1993) are incorporated in this book.

  • Cartography and the Conception, Conquest and Control of Eastern Africa, 1844-1914
    Delineating Dominion: Cartography and the Conception, Conquest and Control of Eastern Africa, 1844-1914 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert H. Clemm Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin, Advisor Alan Beyerchen Ousman Kobo Copyright by Robert H Clemm 2012 Abstract This dissertation documents the ways in which cartography was used during the Scramble for Africa to conceptualize, conquer and administer newly-won European colonies. By comparing the actions of two colonial powers, Germany and Britain, this study exposes how cartography was a constant in the colonial process. Using a three-tiered model of “gazes” (Discoverer, Despot, and Developer) maps are analyzed to show both the different purposes they were used for as well as the common appropriative power of the map. In doing so this study traces how cartography facilitated the colonial process of empire building from the beginnings of exploration to the administration of the colonies of German and British East Africa. During the period of exploration maps served to make the territory of Africa, previously unknown, legible to European audiences. Under the gaze of the Despot the map was used to legitimize the conquest of territory and add a permanence to the European colonies. Lastly, maps aided the capitalist development of the colonies as they were harnessed to make the land, and people, “useful.” Of special highlight is the ways in which maps were used in a similar manner by both private and state entities, suggesting a common understanding of the power of the map.

My wanderings cover a period of nineteen years, during which I have not been able to do more than pierce these vast ranges, as one might stick a needle into a bolster, in many places ; for no one can lay claim to a really intimate knowledge of the Himalaya alone, as understood in the mountaineering sense at home. There are still a great number of districts which remain for me new ground, as well as the 500 miles of the Himalaya included in " Nepal," which, to all intents and purposes, is still unexplored. My object is to try and show the great contrasts between people, country, life, etc.

Slavery is a word that resonates in the minds of many when they think of Africa in the nineteenth century, but for the most part in association with the brutalities of the international slave trades.

California January 2018 Copyright by Rvann Mackenzie Lannan 2018 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read “’We’re all in somebody else’s head’: Constructing History and Identity in Xena ” by Ryann Mackenzie Lannan, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in English: Literature at San Francisco State University. Geoffrey Green, Ph.D. Professor “We’re all in somebody else’s head”: Constructing History and Identity in Ryann Mackenzie Lannan San Francisco, California 2017 My thesis analyzes the construction of history and identity in the pop-culture television show Xena: Warrior Princess ( XWP ). I argue that the implicit allegory of XWP shows us that history and identity exist as interpretable and revisable narratives. I use the character Gabrielle’s chronicling of Xena’s adventures to show how historical narratives are consciously constructed by historians to tell one specific version of events. I then use her mediation of the major characters to depict how historians also construct the characters of history. I then show that similarly, all people read and are read by others, and that these readings influence identity construction. XWP shows that identity originates outside the self and is a product of constant dialog between the self and the other.

  • HORHAY TRIUMPHS an Adventure Into Insanity
    HORHAY TRIUMPHS An Adventure Into Insanity By Steve Allsup 1 Copyright © 2004 By Steve Allsup, writing as Robert Lee Noogles Illustrated by the author 1 Writing as Robert Lee Noogles This Impressive Volume also Includes more adven- tures in the Hydralik Age: VENTURER OF THE ETERNAL RIVER The Tale of Phosphor by Phil Peacock. and THE ADVENTURES OF THE HYDRALIK AGE'S MOST FABULOUS WIZARD WITHOUT EQUAL HITHER, THERE, OR BEYOND: A STUDIOUSLY ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF AMAKRAPOLOS OF KRAP, THE MOST STUPENDOUS MAGE OF ALL TIME by Tangor Map of the Hydralik Age THE COMPLEAT HORHAY TRIUMPHS INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL EDITION Robert Lee Noogles (1947-1974) was a child prodigy and the founder of the “Swords-and-Dinosaurs” sub-genre of fantasy fiction. In 1974, Noogles cut short a promising future as a major new literary talent, when he crashed his dune- buggy head-on into the four-wheel drive pick-up truck of an off-duty state trooper while playing “chicken” out highway 13. Before he died, Noogles made cult history by serializing the novel HORHAY TRIUMPHS in underground fanzines. He is believed to have had access to a rare copy of Thomas Bul- french’s obscure “fourth” volume of mythology, The Age of Schnarvy , which has long been out of print, and virtually unknown since it was published in a very limited edition during the American Civil War paper shortage. Somehow Noogles either found or inherited a copy of this extremely rare volume, or else had read about it in M. P. Dugger’s de- finitive biography of Bulfrench.
