  • John A. Lynch Lecture Series the Intersection of Science and Faith: a Physicist’S Reflections on Creation, Free Will and Miracles
    John A. Lynch Lecture Series The Intersection of Science and Faith: A physicist’s reflections on creation, free will and miracles. Michael Dennin Professor of physics and astronomy Michael Dennin is professor of physics and astronomy at University of alifornia, Irvine. He earned his A.B. from Princeton University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. (1995) from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He held a postdoctoral position at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow and a Research Corporation Cottrell Scholar. Professor Dennin is well-known for popularizing science for the public. He has taught many online courses on the nature of science, including team teaching a MOOC based on the television program The Walking Dead. He has appeared on a number of television programs, including Spiderman Tech, Batman Tech, Star Wars Tech and Ancient Aliens. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 7:00 PM 105 JORDAN HALL Most commonly, the discussion between science and faith focuses on the apparently simple issue of whether or not God exists. As a physicist and a person of faith, I have always been intrigued by a potentially more fundamental concern – what is the nature of the fullness of reality? This immediately raises an interesting series of questions. Is physical reality all that exists or is there more than physical reality? If there is more than physical reality, can science say anything about this non-physical reality, and what are the implications for questions usually associated with faith, such as, the nature of free will and miracles? It is in the space of these questions that I argue one discovers the power of science and faith to work together and potentially deepen our understanding of reality in ways that neither approach can on its own.

  • A Runequest 6Th Edition Rules Supplement X
    A RuneQuest 6th Edition Rules Supplement X CREDITS Research, Rules, Mechanics and Lead Writing: Pete Nash Additional Material: Lawrence Whitaker Editing and Layout: Lawrence Whitaker DISCLAIMER This unofficial article uses some material from the Wookieepedia Wiki, an invaluable website for all Star Wars related information. Many thanks to the creators and their efforts. Star Wars and other associated names are the sole and exclusive property of Lucasfilm Limited. Their inclusion within this article is under Fair Use purposes only to enable fans to create their own games based in the Star Wars universe. We heartily suggest that those interested in running a full and professional Star Wars game (rather than this feeble freebie hack) should look at the recently released and Edge of Empire produced by Fantasy Flight Games. INTRODUCTION Most owners of RuneQuest 6th Edition will probably have purchased it with the intent to run games set in traditional fantasy settings. As it stands the book can pretty much cover anything from historical Neolithic hunter-gatherers to Arabian Nights Sword & Sorcery. Yet the underly- ing mechanics of RuneQuest are flexible enough to represent any genre. Of course a Game Master needs to invest a little more work if planning to run a game in an atypical setting. Whilst the Design Mechanism intends to publish some more modern setting books in the future, this article is the first of an informal series to show just how easy it is to make your own conversions (commonly known as ‘hacks’) to play in the more infamous Sci-Fi and Fantasy worlds. To start the ball rolling we’ll show how you can use RQ6 to run a Star Wars based game, which is about as far removed from S&S as can be imagined.
