  • Welcome to the Great Ring
    Planescape Campaign Setting Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction Project Managers Ken Marable Gabriel Sorrel Editors Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Writers Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Layout Sarah Hood 1 There hardly seem any words capable of expressing the years of hard work and devotion that brings this book to you today, so I will simply begin with “Welcome to the planes”. Let this book be your doorway and guide to the multiverse, a place of untold mysteries, wonders the likes of which are only spoken of in legend, and adventurers that take you from the lowest depths of Hell to the highest reaches of Heaven. Here in you will leave behind the confines and trappings of a single world in order to embrace the potential of infinity and the ability to travel Introduction wherever you please. All roads lie open to planewalkers brave enough to explore the multiverse, and soon you will be facing wonders no ordinary adventure could encompass. Consider this a step forward in your gaming development as well, for here we look beyond tales of simple dungeon crawling to the concepts and forces that move worlds, make gods, and give each of us something to live for. The struggles that define existence and bring opposing worlds together will be laid out before you so that you may choose how to shape conflicts that touch millions of lives. Even when the line between good and evil, lawful and chaotic, is as clear as the boundaries between neighboring planes, nothing is black and white, with dark tyrants and benevolent kings joining forces to stop the spread of anarchy, or noble and peasant sitting together in the same hall to discuss shared philosophy.

  • The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors Drew Daywalt (Author); Adam Rex (Illustrator)
    The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors Drew Daywalt (author); Adam Rex (illustrator) From New York Times bestselling creators Drew Daywalt, author of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home, and Adam Rex, author- illustrator of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, comes a laugh-out-loud hilarious picture book about the epic tale of the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors. You’ve played the game. Now read the legend of how it all began . Long ago, in an ancient and distant realm called the Kingdom of Backyard, there lived a warrior named ROCK. Meanwhile in the Empire of Mom’s Home Office, a second great warrior sought the glory of battle. And his name was PAPER. At the same time, in the Kitchen Realm, in the tiny village of Junk Drawer, lived a third warrior. They called her SCISSORS. These three were the strongest, smartest, and fastest in all the land. Time and again they beat the most fearsome opponents they could find: an apricot, a computer printer—even frozen, breaded, dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets! But when the warriors finally meet each other, the most epic round of battles begins . and never ends. That is why, to this day, children around the world honor these worthy adversaries by playing ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS! Drew Daywalt is an award-winning, New York Times #1 bestselling children's author and horror screenwriter whose books include The Day the Crayons Quit and Star Wars: BB-8 on the Run. He lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and two children.

  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.

  • BY ADAM REX Discussion Guide About the Book Scottish Play Doe—Aka Scott—Is Used to Being a Little Different
    BY ADAM REX DISCUSSION GUIDE ABOUT THE BOOK Scottish Play Doe—aka Scott—is used to being a little different. Sometimes he hallucinates things no one else can see. Mermaids. Unicorns. A talking rabbit-man in tweed pants. But then one of these hallucinations tries to steal Scott’s backpack, and he comes face-to-face with an honest-to-goodness leprechaun named Mick who’s on the run from, of all things, the Goodco Cereal Company. With the help of his friends Erno and Emily (who have their own weird connection to Goodco), Scott and Mick uncover Goodco’s sinister plans— and take the first steps in saving the world from the evil cereal company. PRE-READING ACTIVITY There are references to Arthurian legend throughout the story. Before reading the book, ask students how much they know about the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Have each student keep a list of Arthurian references in the story as they read. When everyone has finished the book, go through the lists as a class, comparing notes (and pointing out any missed references). www.harpercollinschildrens.com BY ADAM REX DISCUSSION GUIDE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Why does Scott’s family move to Goodborough? How does 10. Why do you think Goodco would send Scott’s mother to do Scott feel about the move? Why do Scott and Polly have to research in Antarctica? What in Antarctica could a cereal be secretive about their father? Why does Scott get to school company possibly be interested in? thirty minutes early to talk to his teacher? What is unusual 11.
