Sure, humans, dwarves, dragonkin, and halflings are really just kings, princes, bishops, and archpriests order them around, talking animals with less fur or more scales. This adventure is but really?

  • 100 the Folklore of Le Détroit/Le Folklore Du
    Museum Anthropology Review 1(2) Fall 2007 The Folklore of le Détroit/Le Folklore du Détroit. An online exhibition of the Virtual Museum of Canada.1 Reviewed by Hilary Joy Virtanen Online exhibitions provide unique advantages for curator and audience alike, including the creation of venues for materials and information ill-suited for physical presentation, the availability of the exhibition to a wider audience, and the potential for instant access to the materials. These three features are found in many of the online exhibitions that I have viewed, and all are well-illustrated in the bilingual exhibition The Folklore of Le Détroit/ Le Folklore du Détroit. This exhibition, presented through the Virtual Museum of Canada by the Windsor Public Library and Windsor’s Community Museum (Ontario), explores oral traditions of francophone communities along the Detroit River, a 30-mile ribbon of water between Ontario and Michigan that separates the cities of Windsor and Detroit. This isolated linguistic community, first established in 1701, has maintained and shaped many traditions, from both France and francophone regions in Canada. While the focus of the exhibition rests largely on Canadian communities, retaining a stronger French heritage due to historical circumstances, Michigan’s Detroit francophonie also provide rich examples. The exhibition homepage identifies the target audience as schoolchildren around grade five. The exhibition and the lesson plan materials provided within, however, are aimed more widely toward primary and secondary students. The content is presented in both French and English, with separate sites for each. The design is largely geared toward children, with charming graphics and numerous clickable sound and animation files to illustrate the materials.

  • The Meecheegander Missives
    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.

  • Education & Scholarship
    Intro to the Lore: London isn’t what it used to be, but who would expect it to be what it used to be after a 4 mile wide hole opened up on the outskirts of the city on all hallow’s eve 1862 and King Finvarra and the Wild Hunt led an army out of the wound in the earth and attempted to conquer Britain? Fair old London quickly fell to the Unseelie armies and it seemed that all hope was lost, but emerging from St. Michael's church, atop Glastonbury Tor, came the hero Britain was promised centuries ago. Returning from Avalon, King Arthur led the remnants of the British forces on the Island and the reinforcements coming in from around the Empire against the fae. Under Arthur’s leadership the Unseelie Court was pushed back into the depths from which it came. Of course, London was not the only city beset by the Unseelie. St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, New York, New Orleans, Beijing, and Constantinople all faced the full force of the Unseelie invasion. While Arthur forced the Unseelie to depart from these lands when he defeated Finvarra, that didn’t undo the damage done by the invading armies. It’s now 1900 and while London is no longer the capital of the British Empire, Arthur choosing to rebuild Camalot in Somerset and what not, the city is one of the most important locations in the world. Magical artifacts and materials that have revolutionized the way we live (and die) are now pulled up from the great breech, creating vast industries and a degree of lawlessness in Deeper London (the new expansions of the city along the sloping walls of the cavern).

  • The Night Is Dark and Full of Terrors.Pages
    by Aaron “Quickleaf” Infante-Levy v 0.1 The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors… AN ALTERNATIVE HORROR & FEAR MECHANIC FOR 5TH EDITION The creeping sensation that unspeakable doom lurks around the catacomb’s corner. The unnerving but thrilling chill experienced while investigating an eerily familiar murderer. The pinpricks of twisted delight while exploring a hag’s lair. How does a DM evoke such an emotional impact in his or her players? For some, calling for an ability check and imposing a frightened or madness condition (as per the DMG’s recommendation) may fall short. Thus, dear reader, I’ve drafted this simple rule which plays upon the true source of player dread: the unknown shadows that play in their own minds. For, in the words of G.R.R. Martin’s Melisandre, “the night is dark and ful of terrors.” There are two variations of this rule: The first for DMs who have a clear idea of the nature of the threats facing the PCs, and the second for DMs improvising those threats spur of the moment. The “nature of the threat” can be as simple as “a night hag” or as complex as “the exiled sister of the night hag Jenny Greenteeth seeking revenge,” depending upon the needs of the DM’s adventure and the group’s play style. RULE #1 — DM KNOWS THE THREAT When the DM presents a threat (monster, person, place, object, or event) unknown to the players that inspires fearful speculation among them, each time a player makes a speculative statement or theory about the threat that is false, the threat gains a terror (chosen from the list below or created by the DM).

    TFPFMFIQ (IF TF LMMJJo ur Lfi MARIE CAROLINE WATSON HAMLIN. ILLUSTRATED BY MISS ISABELLA STEWART, SEEN BY PRESERVATION SERVICES DATE IETR >IT: NOURSE 1884. Copyright, 1883, By THORNDIKE NOTJBSE. DEDICATION. To THE LOVED ONES AT "TONNANCOUR," ON THE BANKS OP LAKE SAINTE CLAIRE, WHERE UNDER THE GRATEFUL SHADE OP A MAJESTIC WILLOW I HAVE LISTENED TO MANY A TALE OP THE MYSTIC PAST, THESE LEGENDS ARE MOST AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. M. C. W. HAMLIN. Detroit, December, 1883. INTRODUCTION. " " The word Legend explains itself. Historical and romantic souvenirs hang like tattered drapery around the fair City of the Straits. Interest and curiosity have only to shake its venerable folds to scatter fragmentary history and legendary lore. These weird tales, quaint customs and beautiful traditions have been handed down from generation to generation as sacred trusts. Originally brought from their cradle in Normandy, they are still tenderly cherished in the homes of the old families of Norman descent settled along "le Detroit." It has been my good fortune to hear many of them from loving, though aged lips of ancestors whose memories extend back into the last century. ' It seems a befitting tribute to these noble and hardy pioneers that a descendant of theirs should gather and preserve in an imperishable form these mementoes they valued so highly. For my interest in the subject, and for the historical facts, in the writing of which I have tried to be strictly accurate, I am indebted to Charlevoix, La Hontan, Lambert, Margry's Collec- tions, Parkman, Rameau, Lemoyne, Campbell, Sheldon, Lanman, and others. The Pontiac Manuscript, Morris' Diary, the Cass, Trowbridge and Roberts' Memoirs have also furnished material.
