  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    Colonizing Borneo: State-building and Ethnicity in Central Kalimantan Gerry van Klinkeri Provinces are curious things. They are administrative arrangements that allow the state to reach deeper into the countryside. Provincial bureaucracy is hardly an exciting business, except perhaps for bureaucrats. But provinces can also be vehicles for an identity. Then they become charged with a powerful, if ambiguous, sentiment, the provincial community's feeling that it at once belongs to the greater nation yet remains separate from it. The contrast between the two sides of this provincial phenomenon has a parallel in the nation-state. Though usually mentioned in one breath, the nation and the state in the phrase nation-state also live in different worlds. The nation is the human community that belongs to an envisaged territory. The state is the set of institutions by which that territory is ruled. Modern nationalism has persuaded us that the fused entity is more real than its separate parts, but it was not always so. Many new provinces were created in Indonesia in the late 1950s, Central Kalimantan among them. It was affected by and contributed to the dramatic tension that enveloped the regions beyond Jakarta. These were still the heady years of nationalism. All those who helped create Central Kalimantan in 1957 spoke of it in terms of the "nation"—that is, they perceived its establishment as an identity issue. Thanks to staff at the Nationaal Archief in The Hague, who gave permission to quote from the archives of the Nederlands Commissariaat at Banjarmasin of the 1950s; to Henk Schulte Nordholt, Antonius Made Tony Supriatma, and T.

  • Pragmatic Nationalism Through Cultural Identities in Good News from Indonesia Instagram Account
    Allusion, Volume 06 No 01 February 2017, 1-8 Pragmatic Nationalism through Cultural Identities in Good News From Indonesia Instagram Account Annisa Rochma Sari Diah Ariani Arimbi English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract The mainstream media in Indonesia has blatantly exposed unbalance coverage towards phenomena across the country. Inevitably, it leads to the pessimistic response from the citizens, which affects their nationalism spirit. Emerging as an alternative media, GNFI eagerly provides ‘the good news’ to counter such hegemony of mass media. This study aims to show how GNFI Instagram account constructs alternative discourse to raise the spirit of nationalism through its images. Besides, this research uses a theory of imagined communities by Benedict Anderson and new media by Denis Mc Quail combined within critical visual analysis to discern the images. The result shows that GNFI has been consistently portraying cultural identities in a form of good news since it was actively engaged with audiences in Instagram. Secondly, GNFI also re-contextualizes particular issues in the images to fit with current regime as well as global circumstances. As for the last, GNFI also maximizes its online platform to reach wider audiences; particularly the Indonesians not living in the territorial yet believe that they are part of imagined communities of Indonesia. In conclusion, the efforts of GNFI to portray such cultural identities resemble the notion of pragmatic nationalism in which highly focuses on solving the problems in Indonesia without losing the identity of being Indonesian. Keywords: GNFI, instagram, pragmatic nationalism 1. Introduction Indonesia’s mainstream media provide less space to depict the actualization of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and Pancasila through socio-cultural practices in the entire territorial area of Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke.

    PRODUK CONVIVIAL SOCIETY INDONESIA Penulis: Kumara Sadana Putra, S.Ds., M.A. (email: kumy01@yahoo.com ) Program Studi Desain Manajemen Produk Fakutlas Industri Kreatif Universitas Surabaya Jl.Raya Kalirungkut Surabaya ABSTRACT Indonesia has an endless diversity of natural resources and human craftmenship expertise resources, saving a million potential to be developed. Many products are functional and aesthetic have been produced a long time ago, such as carts, gendongan jamu, kentongan, bedug, becak, delman, angklung, etc. Those genius products are appear without the participation of product designer who earned a formal education in the modern era. Ivan Illich, an Austrian Design Sociology expert, wrote a theory in Tools for Conviviality (1973). Illich saw one other alternative to post industrial society, namely the implementation and development of technology convivial form of integration of ethics, morality, and social change that is more humane. Illich assess, design science of nature can also be used to simplify the tools to enable ordinary people to build their own environment. Convivial society is a society that has freedom in running their daily life. They are built with the possibility of each of its members to run its system of social life independently without the help of others. Designs that living in such a society, must be the designs that are actually understated, easy to use, the material there is around and the community to create their own. This theory underlying the exploration from the writer to open the eyes more clearly and observe products around us that have emerged, which still continues to use modern society. So we can more proud to use products made by our own people.

  • Redbeasts Edge Bloodstained
    Redbeasts edge bloodstained Continue From before I play go to Navigating Go to Search General there is a teleport location directly above the center in the village. You get access to it by leaving the village to the right of the screen, which has two bones throwing corpses, then immediately going out to the top left on this screen. There is a poorly telegraphed quest in the middle of the game where the triggers to the characters explain it you so easily missed them are just going to spoil what to do. After beating the boss of the fight, consisting of two dragons, go down to the tower and collect the object in the gold chest. With this item, return to the room in the village hub with the nun and take pictures in the portrait studio. With this photo then go back to the librarian in the castle and hell make you pass on the train. If you end the game have armor you may find that ignores the spikes. You technically don't need it to beat the game, but very late in the game there is a corridor of spikes you need to pass and this is by far the easiest way. Not all NPCs in your home base will be inside the actual building. Check out the area on the left, some pretty useful NPCs eventually pop up there. You can buy Waystones (which teleport you to base) from a nun pretty cheap. It's usually a good idea to have some with you in case you ever find yourself with a low HP away from any conservation sites.
