Available formats include PDF, paperback, and Kindle e-book. Ideas are presented in such a way that they can be used or customized for any edition game, from the 1970s to the present day. These volumes exemplify the iconic “sandbox,” do-it-yourself, and free-form ideals established by the original Lake Geneva campaigns, c. 1972-1979. Respected sources of inspiration include Arneson, Barker, Bledsaw, Burroughs, Dunsany, Gygax, Holmes, Howard, Kask, Kuntz, Leiber, Lovecraft, Merritt, Moldvay, Moorcock, Sutherland, Tolkien, Trampier, Vance and Ward.

Sample file CASTLE OLDSKULL ~ GWG2 KENT DAVID KELLY P a g e | 7 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the memory of the great classic dungeon and fantasy milieu designers who are no longer with us: David Lance Arneson, M.A.R. Barker, Bob Bledsaw, E. Gary Gygax, Dr. John Eric Holmes, Tom Moldvay, and David Trampier. It is also dedicated to the great fantasists who inspired them, some of whom are fortunately still with us today: Poul William Anderson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, L. Sprague de Camp, Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Michael Moorcock, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Jack Vance. SampleIn the spirit of creating wonders with which to inspire others to write their ownfile unique works of enchantment, the author salutes you. CASTLE OLDSKULL ~ GWG2 KENT DAVID KELLY 8 | P a g e EMPOWERING YOUR IMAGINATION: WHAT THIS BOOK IS, AND WHAT IT IS NOT Attention e-reader, video and computer gamers! This book is not a game in and of itself. If you bought this book thinking it was a complete game you could read and play, you should probably return this book now. This is a book to help you create your own adventures for Fantasy Role-Playing Games. This is a fantasy adventure toolbox, an imagination engine. If you enjoy creating stories with your friends, envisioning netherworlds filled with dragons and treasure and designing fantasy worlds all your own, then you will find that this book is an ideal Game Master (GM) tool. This book will help you to create and improve dungeon adventures, featuring more intriguing locales, more mysterious histories, and more surprising twists and turns than ever before. This is not a complete game. Your dedication and creativity are required. Sample file CASTLE OLDSKULL ~ GWG2 KENT DAVID KELLY P a g e | 9 DESCRIPTION The world’s ultimate adventure creation tool. Infinite possibilities await you in dungeons, the wilderness, the seas, skies, netherworld, and the planes of existence. Whither are you bound? Years in the making, mega-supplement GWG2: OLDSKULL ADVENTURE GENERATOR is the “Rosetta Stone” of the Castle Oldskull system, the one master system which binds all of the present and future supplements of the Castle Oldskull OSR gaming universe together into a massive unified imagination engine. Harness the power of over 30,000 data elements to create dungeons, villains, quests, and more. Your worlds of adventure will never be the same! Using this 700+ page supplement, you can create millions of unique adventures for your players. There are so many options, that in a lifetime of play no two adventures will ever be the same. I believe (but would be happy to be proven wrong) that this is the most ambitious and extensive adventure creation tool available on the market. Using this volume, you can create an entire campaign of multiple adventures, entailing wilderness journeys, dungeons, monster lairs, traps, tricks, treasure, and unforgettable tales. When coupled with the GAME WORLD GENERATOR, you can create your own world of endless adventure and allow the Players Characters to journey anywhere. And you will be creating new realms of wonder every step of the way. Do you need a new island, temple, tomb, forest, swamp, mountain range, netherworld, or sea? This book will show you how to build them all, each uniquely detailed with their own locales and opportunities for play. Another old school gaming experience from Kent David Kelly and Wonderland Imprints, Only the Finest Works of Fantasy. (702 pages, 134,100 words.)

Plaster cast. © National Portrait Gallery, London. Every Man His Own Monument Self-Monumentalizing in Romantic Britain Chris Haffenden Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Auditorium minus, Gustavianum, Uppsala universitetsmuseum, Akademigatan 3, Uppsala, Friday, 9 November 2018 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Dr. Samantha Matthews (Bristol University, UK). Abstract Haffenden, C. 2018. Every Man His Own Monument. Self-Monumentalizing in Romantic Britain. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 50. 263 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0451-9. From framing private homes as museums, to sitting for life masks and appointing biographers, new forms of self-monumentalizing emerged in the early nineteenth century. In this study I investigate the emergence and configuration of such practices in Romantic Britain. Positioning these practices at the intersection of emergent national pantheons, a modern conception of history, and a newly-formed celebrity culture, I argue that this period witnessed the birth of distinctively modern ways for the individual to make immortality. Faced with a visceral fear of being forgotten, public figures began borrowing from celebrity culture to make their own monuments. Concentrated upon early nineteenth-century London, I characterize these practices as attempts at self-made immortality. I do so by analyzing the legacy projects of three well-known but seldom connected individuals: the Auto-Icon by the philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748– 1832), the Soane Museum by the architect Sir John Soane (1753–1837), and the life-writing efforts of the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786–1846).

  • The History of Modern Painting Volume 2
    The History of Modern Painting Volume 2 by Richard Muther The History Of Modern Painting BOOK III THE TRIUMPH OF THE MODERNS CHAPTER XVI THE DRAUGHTSMEN INASMUCH as modern art, in the beginning of its career, held commerce almost exclusively with the spirits of dead men of bygone ages, it had set itself in opposition to all the great epochs that had gone before. All works known to the history of art, from the cathedral pictures of Stephan Lochner down to the works of the followers of Watteau, stand in the closest relationship with the people and times amid which they have originated. Whoever studies the works of Dürer knows his home and his family, the Nuremberg of the sixteenth century, with its narrow lanes and gabled houses; the whole age is reflected in the engravings of this one artist with a truth and distinctness which put to shame those of the most laborious historian. Dürer and his contemporaries in Italy stood in so intimate a relation to reality that in their religious pictures they even set themselves above historical probability, and treated the miraculous stories of sacred tradition as if they had been commonplace incidents of the fifteenth century. Or, to take another instance, with what a striking realism, in the works of Ostade, Brouwer, and Steen, has the entire epoch from which these great artists drew strength and nourishment remained vivid in spirit, sentiment, manners, and costume. Every man whose name has come down to posterity stood firm and unshaken on the ground of his own time, resting like a tree with all its roots buried in its own peculiar soil; a tree whose branches rustled in the breeze of its native land, while the sun which fell on its blossoms and ripened its fruits was that of Italy or Germany, of Spain or the Netherlands, of that time; never the weak reflection of a planet that formerly had shone in other zones.

They have seen a nation where they had supposed that there was only a geographical expression. They have seen martial courage where they had forgotten that it had been famous for centuries. They have been surprised to find in this little land so much chivalrous honour and so much civic patriotism. They need to be reminded that its nobility headed the Crusades and that its common people established the first free city life north of the Alps.

One might think of the discovery and conquest of the farthest ends of the earth, the expanses of space, the labyrinthine recesses of the soul, and the depths of the self. And it is part of the dialectic of modernity that these depths are char­ acterized, not only by positive values such as love, constructive desires, and gaiety, but also by the yawning abysses of horror, fear, and destruction. Conquest is always accompanied by destruction, the optimistic mood of discovery by the anxiety of existence. These developments influence an unmistakably large segment of modern art. In particular, they are responsible for the realm that may be termed the “conquest of the self.” It was thus unavoidable that horror would become a subject of modern art.
