Even in the trying times of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, new species continued to be discovered while E others slipped into extinction. During the Awakening, Homo sapiens was not the only species to undergo Unexplained Genetic Expression (UGE). Animals all over the world began to show the effects of the return of magic, some giving birth to changeling offspring while oth- ers transformed into creatures from myth and legend. Griffins, harpies, hell hounds and even dragons populate the world of the twenty-first century. The explosion of novel and variant life forms led to the development of several new fields of scientific study, often combined under the general heading of “paranaturalism.” Paranaturalists specialize in species identified after 2000 A.D., and many further focus on aspects of the field such as parabiology, parasociology (especially among the various metahu- man and officially recognized sentient species), and paranatural biotechnology. Some researchers have even begun examining the fossil record for evidence of paraspecies. Most paraspecies seem to be a particular expression of DNA in the presence of high levels of magical energy. In these species, one generation gives birth to paraspecies young but remains unaffected itself. In time, the natural species will vanish, replaced completely by the paraspecies. In certain cases, all or part of the natural species undergoes a transformation as the rising tide of magic reaches a specific threshold. Unless the whole species changes en masse, the nat- ural species continues (as in the human species), but will sometimes produce individuals of the paraspecies at later births. Occasionally, an apparently normal individual of such a species will express paranormal traits or capabilities at the species’ equivalent of puberty. A few species consistently produce young that resemble the original natural species but undergo UGE at “puberty.” Most such individuals are hostile and vicious as a result of the transformation. 4 Critters HOW TO USE THIS BOOK SPIRITS This book provides a comprehensive listing of creatures Some paranormal beings live only on the astral plane and that appeared in previous Shadowrun products, including a have no physical body.

  • Confounding Castle Pages 27-28
    As you enter the next room, you hear a rustling in the dark, followed by a hiss. Four eyes peer out of the shadows, watching you. You stand perfectly still, making sure not to move, as a creature steps out into the light and looks you over. At first, it just seems like an odd looking, out of place chicken – perhaps a little bit bigger than other chickens you might have seen, but other than that, just a regular bird. But something about it seems off, and after a moment, you realize what it is – this bird doesn’t have a tail. Then, you realize that you’re wrong. It does have a tail, but its tail is a living snake, a second pair of eyes that stare at you. “What are you doing in my larder?” the creature squawks at you. You explain that you’re just trying to find your way to the Griffin’s tower, and it calms down considerably. “Oh, okay then. I don’t like people poking around in here, but if you’re just passing through it’s no problem. The ladder up into the Clock tower is right over there.” You are ready to leave, but curiosity overtakes you, and you ask the creature what it is. “I shall answer your question,” it hisses, “with a song.” Then, it throws back its bird head and begins to crow. I am the mighty cockatrice I like to eat up grains of rice But I also enjoy munching mice I do not like the cold or ice I’ve said it once and I will say it thrice I am the Cockactrice! I am the Cockatrice! “Myself, along with the Griffin, the Dragon, and a few others, all came to live here with the Wizard.

It took a good long while tae admit it and I’ve tried tae make up for lost time, for a’ the years I dithered about whether or not it wis true. These last few years especially I’ve done ma best, done right by Lorna and wee Olivia even if they couldnae understand. They don’t know whit he is. They don’t know Bradley left us a long time ago, that day in the woods. September, 2003 This is ma favourite place. The way the trees come crowing up tae the shore of the loch, closing us in tae our own wee private beach: ye cannae beat it. Lorna’s minding the baby, letting her roll around on the picnic blanket among the half-chewed cheese and ham pieces. She’s still a stunner, my Lorna, even after having two weans. Run ragged looking after them, so she is, but ye’d never know it looking at her. She’s kept her hair long and bonny, not like a lot of they mum’s I see at the school gates. I catch her eye and she gies me a wink and a smile, holding up Olivia’s wee hand to wave at me. I wave back at ma girls and have a check in with ma boy. He’s near enough up tae my waist now. He’s trying tae skip stones across the water but they’re landing wi’ splattering plops.

  • Encounters: Shadowrun Is a Fast-Paced, Push-Your-Luck Dice And
    TM Encounters: Shadowrun is a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice and card game for 1–8 players, set within the brilliant Shadowrun universe where man meets magic and machine. Important Terms: The first time an important term is used, it will be bolded. SETUP Use the following rules to set up the game: Place the Nuyen (Shadowrun money) tokens into a common pool accessible by > all players. Separate the cards into their respective card types: Megacorporation cards, > Seattle City District cards (Districts), Encounter cards, and Shadowrunner cards. The game also uses six-sided dice (sometimes abbreviated as “D6”). Each player starts with one Megacorporation card; this is the Megacorporation > they’ll be using during the game. This card can either be chosen or determined by random draw, whichever method all players agree on. Place that card in your playing area in front of you. Shadowrunners you Hire will be placed into this area during game play. Any unselected Megacorporations will not be used in the current game and are placed back in the box. Shuffle the Encounter Deck and place it in the center of the table. If at any time during > gameplay the Encounter Deck is empty, simply shuffle the discard into a new draw deck. From here on out the rules and cards will just say “Encounter(s).” Shuffle the Shadowrunner Deck and place it in the center of the table. If at any > time during gameplay the Shadowrunner Deck is empty, simply shuffle the discards into a new draw deck. (If there are no discards because all Shadowrunners are held by the players, then no Shadowrunners can be Hired until one is used and placed in the discard pile to become the new draw pile.) From here on out the rules and cards will just say “Shadowrunner(s)”.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

Desire for Perpetuation: Fairy Writing and Re-creation of National Identity in the Narratives of Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang Yuki Yoshino A Thesis Submitted to The University of Edinburgh for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Literature 2013 Abstract This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang.
