  • The Lost Kenku
    THE LOST KENKU Illustrated and Written By Shawn Wood Note from the Author o say this is a loosely constructed adventure may be an exaggeration of some degree. However, some patron saint of children requested a pdf of my adventure notes. So, here we are. I’ve use one version or another of this adventure to introduce people to the D&D experi- ence as it has all the elements of a good game with very little ramp up time needed. The adventure structure is created in such a way to allow for as much or as little combat is desired. Encounters can be changed to suit a lvl1 cam- paign, and with a little imagination I imagine one could have fun altering it for a party in the high teens. Some nice paintings of Ancient Dragons and Neoliths may be in order. Have fun with it. Change, add, or remove monsters, items, and characters as you see fit. A special thanks to the wonderful donors of the Extra Life Charity and the Dungeons and Dragons Team. Together we can manage to do a little bit of good in this mind-flayer-run world. 2 | THE LOST KENKU | A 2017 EXTRA LIFE ADVENTURE Wizard of Weirding Mind Flayer Alhoon The Wizard Weirding is a mind flayer alhoon in dis- guise. It uses disguise self to appear as a male human wizard named Weirding. Long ago, it left the hive in search of power and immortality through magic. To blend in with the general population of Faerun, the alhoon mar- ried a human woman and adopted her child as his own.

  • The Grand Duchy of Karameikos Players Guide V1.0
    The Grand Duchy of Karameikos Players Guide v1.0 Overview This player guide is intended to give you, the player, an overview of the new world you will be exploring – Mystara and more specifically the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, the country that will be your starting area. It will give you some background for your characters and some modifications and limitations to the choices you can make at character creation based upon this campaign starting in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. As you explore the lands of Karameikos & the rest of Mystara, discover its secrets and meet new races and cultures more options will open for you as players. History This is the land's history as known to the peoples of Karameikos. The first part of the history is recorded in an epic work of poetry of the Traldar (Traladara) people, "The Song of King Halav." This is an ancient work maintained by generations of bards before finally being committed to writing about six centuries ago. The Song of King Halav In ancient times, the land now called Karameikos was the forest homeland of the Traldar, men and women so favoured by the Immortals and allowed to live in these beautiful lands. The Immortals let the Traldar live happy, simple lives. The Traldar fished and hunted; the men spent most of their time sporting with one another and offering praise to the Immortals. But the Immortals knew that the happiness of the Traldar was to end. Far to the west, a race of evil beast-men was preparing to march through the easterly lands in search of booty, prisoners and more hospitable homelands.

    DO CANCER VACCINES REALLY WORK? An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By: Derek Brinkmann Danielle Healy Anthony Kassas Zhuohao Ling IQP-43-DSA-5111 IQP-43-DSA-7932 IQP-43-DSA-8709 IQP-43-DSA-0019 BME & ME BME ChE CS Muhammad Siddiq Isaac Vrooman Eric Williams Zhizhen Wu IQP-43-DSA-3103 IQP-43-DSA-4019 IQP-43-DSA-4086 IQP-43-DSA-3409 ME ChE ME Robotics & CS August 27, 2015 APPROVED: _________________________ Prof. David S. Adams, PhD WPI Project Advisor 1 ABSTRACT The overall goal of this project was to document and evaluate the technology of cancer vaccines, especially the newer more effective versions, to determine whether cancer vaccines are really worth the recent media hype, to document any problems associated with the technique, and to help prioritize future directions. We performed a review of the research literature and conducted interviews with academic cancer researchers. Based on the research performed for this project, our team’s overall conclusion is that, of the six major categories of cancer vaccines, the tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) type vaccines have shown the highest efficacies, with some CAR vaccines producing as high as 90% full cancer remissions in medium-sized (30 patient) studies. We identified several directions for moving the field forward, including using combination vaccines (especially with antibodies for immune checkpoint inhibitors), adjuvants, recall antigens (if the vaccine is delivered into the skin), and identifying and using a patient’s own specific tumor neoantigens.
