The Drumbeat of the World Is the Heartbeat of Humanity T R A D I T I O N B O O K : Tradition Book: Dreamspeakers White Wolf WW4662 The Drumbeat of the World As spirit-talkers and shamans around the world, the Dreamspeakers have the keenest insight into the nature of the Umbra — and with their ties to the primordial pulse, they understand that they are more than mundane flesh. Even when marginalized or thrust into categories of convenience, the Dreamspeakers recognize the trials of the modern age as simply one more test in the ongoing struggle to heal the split between materia and ephemera. Now they must find a means to accept one another, different though they may be, in order to rise above the suffering and sacrifice of their people. Is the Heartbeat of Humanity At last, a revised look at the Traditions for Mage: The Ascension. Completely new material covering history, practices, beliefs, special character rules and more. Examine new roles in the wake of the Reckoning and the hidden secrets and powers of the surviving Traditions.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

Thomas In live action role-play or larp, imaginary worlds are co-created through the persistent organizational actions – both online and ‘in real life’ (IRL) – of gamers as they embody carefully constructed game personas. This project poses the question: how are newcomers initiated into live action role-playing, and how are these processes aided through online actions and social media? I argue that larpers collectively fabricate a universe from existing and user generated texts through the merging of creative production and narrative consumption, integrating newcomers into these creative processes at the organizational, interpersonal, and diegetic, or imaginary, levels. In larp, these processes are technologically mediated. Social media and virtual worlds provide meditative and contemplative spaces for gamers to reflect on their in-game lives in ways that facilitate meaning, identity, and community for a tight-knit collective of larpers in New York City.

  • Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, Version 2.7
    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] . Feel free to copy/share/print this list. Please visit these websites for the best Dungeons&Dragons archives on the Internet : http://www.acaeum.com http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm .
