Entire cultures have risen to glory developing the written word, advanced mathematics, and seeking to understand the nature of the stars along with as the celestial. In this age of legend, where the creatures of mythology can be found in living colour, and Magic is manifest by the faithful, the time of the Ancients is the time for adventure. The secrets held by the Universe are no longer beyond the understanding of the people of Gaia. The people are realising when their heart and mind unites, there is no limit to their power. Whether these gifts are born of the favour from superior beings, Pantheons of deities, or as an acknowledgement from the Universe itself, the yearning for and mastery of enhanced abilities are met with both awe and suspicion. For those who dare to take up the mantle, renown and heroism await. For those who wish to advance their lot, a world of treasure previously beyond the wildest of imaginations is now within their grasp. To live and experience deeds that will become legend and myth; that is the stuff of life. These adventurers of the mythic age of the Ancients of Gaia hold the key to unlocking Sampletheir own destiny and fulfilling their true potential. file This is their story. Page 1 Setting The Scene Ancients Of Gaia (AOG) is a tabletop role-playing game intended for two Players or more, with one Player assuming the role of Storyteller. You will never need more than 2d6, a pencil, some paper (and of course, your imagination) to create and play a full adventure. AOG is set during a wildly reimagined period of the late Bronze Age, and uses historical themes to bring mythology and legend to the tabletop. Within this manual are the core rules that will allow you to tell the story you wish to create, along with an introductory Adventure. There is no limit to the scope for the way in which this manual may be used . The Storyteller should factor in choices made by the Players and provide outcomes that further the story and the Character’s personal development. Keep in mind that just as the Party are pursuing their own agendas, forces will be aligning against them, and that which was won can also be lost. If any rule contained within conflicts with the narrative flow or stands in the way of role-play or expression, the Storyteller can make the decision to amend, discard or reinvent that rule for the good of the story. Sample file Page 2 GAMEPLAY Sample file Introduction to Gameplay The Ancients of Gaia found themselves in a time of Magic and myth, and those who manifested special abilities found that their skills were either revered or the subject of much derision. Whatever their calling, those who were destined for more than the average life found eachother, and took the first steps on their path of adventure together. In gameplay terms AOG uses a system that will never require more than 2d6 to tell the story of a team of Characters who assemble together. Utilising any Skills, Traits and Abilities at their Character’s disposal, Players are encouraged to take an analytical and strategic approach in order to accomplish their goals. Interaction with the environment, Non-Player Characters (NPCs), and opponents can be carried out through roleplay or description, and successful actions are rewarded with Experience Points (XP) specific to the type of Skill (either Combat, Technical, Personal or Magical) they have used to execute that action. The Storyteller adjudicates over the outcomes of all actions and takes these into account when continuing the narrative. As previously state - if at any point gameplay comes into conflict with a rule,Sample a roll or a result that the Storyteller or the Party asfile a whole feels will detract from furthering this narrative, the Storyteller may choose to amend or overlook any of those aspects. The Storyteller always has the final decision on this.

  • Hungarian Archaeology E-Journal • 2018 Spring
    HUNGARIAN ARCHAEOLOGY E-JOURNAL • 2018 SPRING www.hungarianarchaeology.hu PLUMBATA, THE ROMAN-STYLE DARTS. A Late Antique Weapon from Annamatia TAMÁS KESZI1 It is possible to view an unusual object in the display showing Roman military equipment at the permanent exhibit of the Intecisa Museum, a special weapon of the army in Late Antiquity, the plumbata.2 The meaning of the Latin word is ‘leaden’, but if the construction and use of the implement is taken into account it could be called a dart in English. With this ca. 50 cm long, hand-thrown weapon the heavy infantry could have begun to disrupt the diployment of the enemy from a distance. WRITTEN SOURCES The name and description of the projectile weapon called a plumbata in Latin is known from numerous sources from Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. (VERMAAT 2015) (Fig. 1) Fig. 1: Depiction of a plumbata tribolata and mamillata. The lead weight is missing from the latter (Source: http:// rekostwargames.blogspot.hu/2016/11/roman-unit-menapii-seniores.html, date of download: 19 April 2018) According to Flavius Vegetius Renatus, who lived in the Late Imperial period, the expert soldiers of two legions in Illyricum used the plumbata, and so they were called Mattiobarbuli (I 17. II 15. 16. 23. III 14. IV 21. 44.). The emperors Diocletian (284–305) and Maximian (286–305) honored the two units with the title Jovian and Herculean for their prowess. From Vegetius’s description it seems that the two units used the plumbata prior to Diocletian coming to power, but it is perhaps only after this, in the last decades of the 3rd century, that its use spread to the other units of the empire as well.

MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

  • Fighters Are the Iconic Masters of Battle, with Access To
    625775 625775 paizo.com #3123907, Peter Sylvers <[email protected]>, May 18, 2014 ighters are the iconic masters of battle, with access to both a high number of combat feats and a static set Fof armor- and weapon-oriented class features. While this gives them a wide range of options, it can also lead to characters with specific fighting-man concepts having abilities they don’t need, such as an unarmored trident- and-shield gladiator having armor training for armors he doesn’t wear, or an entirely defensive master of plate mail picking up advanced weapon training. Fighters are supposed to be masters of combat specialization (they even have near-exclusive access to the Weapon Specialization feat), but half their class abilities are static bonuses with little customization beyond what set of weapons they apply to. At the same time, many cool fighter tropes have been presented as archetypes, allowing fighter characters to specialize to even greater extents at the cost of some of those static bonuses (the bravery class feature is an extremely popular trade-out for fighter archetypes), but never in more 4075378 than one style of fighting. Flexibility is one of the things the 625775 fighter class is supposed to excel at, but the way archetypes work, taking one generally makes a character less flexible. That makes sense for many eldritch character concepts – if a wizard is a Master of the Secret Flame, it stands to reason that might change what other magic is available to him – but it’s less logical for most fighter archetypes. Like rogues, fighters mostly learn entirely nonmagical knacks, and there’s no particular reason why being really good at one should make it impossible to specialize in another.

  • Ancient Greek Artillery Technology
    Ancient Greek Artillery Technology from Catapults to the Architronio Canon Michael Lahanas Αρχαία όπλα : καταπέλτες – βαλλίστρες ”Archimedes,” said Lucius, “we know that without your war machinery Syracuse wouldn’t have held out for a month; as it is, we’ve had a rough two years because of them. Don’t think we soldiers don’t appreciate that. They’re superb machines. My congratulations.” Archimedes waved his hand. “Please, they’re nothing really. Ordinary hurling mechanisms—mere toys, that’s all. Scientifically, they have little value. Karel Capek, Apocryphal Tales Bows (the first machine invented by man?) were used at least since 8000 BC according to cave paintings in 'les Dogues' (Castellón, France). Probably bows were invented much earlier (around 20000 BC). The word Catapult comes from the Greek words kata and peltes. (Kata means downward and peltes describes a small shield ). Catapult means therefore shield piercer. Catapults were first invented about 400 BC in the Greek town Syracus under Dionysios I (c. 432-367 BC). The Greek engineers first constructed a comparatively small machine, the gastraphetes (belly-bow), a version of a crossbow. The gastraphetes is a large bow mounted on a case, one end of which rested on the belly of the person using it. When the demands of war required a faster, stronger weapon, the device was enlarged, and a winch pull-back system and base were added. Technology of Catapults (belopoietic from belos (arrow or it is better to say a bolt) and poiw make) was a key part of ancient mechanics, a branch of mathematics that also included fortification building, statics, and pneumatics.
