  • White Rabbit
    Dargelos White Rabbit A Chronicle of the Old Dead Guys Bound in Leather Press Chicago Glen Ellyn Dedicated to the memory of Bill Reynolds Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you. Paul Simon, Bookends Theme 2 Introduction If you remember the sixties, you weren’t there. For those old enough to remember the Old Dead Guys, the name alone is synonymous with an entire era. For me, at least, they summed up the sixties in a way few other bands could do, and even though they never became as widely known as bands like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, I believe that had they not broken up when they did, they might well have achieved the fame they deserved within a very short time. This is not an “official” biography of the group by any means, though I did have access to a great deal of material that belonged to band members, and much which has been out of circulation for nearly three decades. For that I would like to thank my sources, most of whom prefer to remain anonymous. However, two of them I can thank publicly: Michael Altman was a great help to me in compiling and interpreting this material. He gave me access to unpublished material which has shed a lot of new light on the group and its members; in order to be clear on exactly what it is you’re reading, please see Michael’s note which follows this introduction. Sydney Ember, who has been incredibly kind and supportive of this effort, gave me complete access to his superb collection of ODG memorabilia as well as sharing a great many memories of the group with me.

    Highlander (The Movies) Jump Version 0.02 (Jumpchain Compliant) By Orion Ultor and AbraxesAnon Highlander: ​ “From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.” -Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez In 1985, an Immortal known as Connor MacLeod living in New York, under the guise of an antiques dealer is challenged by another immortal in a parking garage. Some police detectives get involved and history's tale of a man who lived for longer than his time begins to be told. 2024, an alternate dimension, the ozone layer has become depleted. Connor MacLeod. Immortals are aliens from the planet Zeist? Wait, that was taken out of the Director's cut and ignored by subsequent movies? Okay so the only pseudo-canonical event is MacLeod facing a powerful immortal named Katana and killing him and fighting the power to take down an artificial ozone layer since Earth has replenished itself from an Evil Shield Corporation. Good luck Understanding any of this. Back in 1994, an Alternate dimension’s sequel to the first Highlander movie events is a walk down memory lane as Connor MacLeod deals with his retirement from the Game being interrupted by three Immortals, lead by Kane, who, due to being stuck under a heavy rock in a cave after they tried to take an Immortal Japanese sorcerer’s life come after him.

  • Highlander Imagine: Beyond Infinity
    Duncan MacLeod becomes embroiled in an adventure, which takes him to the Temple of the Feathered Serpent in Teotihuacán. Having purchased a rare set of ancient South American llama statues, Duncan is unaware of their ritual significance to an immortal Olmec, named Kawill, who intends to repeat a dark ritual, written on a codex in the Olmec language, and stop time, as the Aztecs understood it. Can Duncan stop this Immortal before time is up? Highlander Imagine: Beyond Infinity Order the complete book from Booklocker.com http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/8660.html?s=pdf or from your favorite neighborhood or online bookstore. Enjoy your free excerpt below! “This is impossible!” Paula exclaimed. “It’s just superstition and primitive ignorance— nothing more. It can’t be real.” “But what if it is?” Kawill asked quietly. “What if there is a great beyond?” “There is no such thing,” Paula insisted. Kawill grinned to himself as he rose. “Maybe you’re right,” he replied, patronizingly, “here,” and he pulled the llama statues from the disk, “take these talismans back to MacLeod, where they belong—I took them to perform a primitive, superstitious ritual that has no meaning in our twentieth-century. I’m just a foolish, sick man, ashamed of my ignorance.” Paula stepped in front of the man she had once held in dread and grabbed his arm, halting him. Her eyes passed from the large Aztec calendar to the codex on the table before her. “It cannot be real,” she said emphatically, trying to deny any trace of the words she had just read.

  • Highlander Type One Rulebook March 2010 Update First Draft
    HIGHLANDER TYPE ONE RULEBOOK March 2010 Update Credits Highlander: TCGTM and the SwordMasterTM System Created Mike Sager By: Type One Rulebook Written By: Jim Black and Steven Rice Web Page: http://www.highlandertcg.com Editor and HTML Adaptation Steven Rice Thanks To To all the players who related questions and concerns. All Rights Reserved. Highlander Davis-Panzer Productions. Printed in the United States by LeMonteguard Inc. Game Concept and Goal of the Game Highlander: The Card Game is designed to simulate a duel between two Immortals: yourself and your opponent. During the course of play, both players will play Attacks and Defenses as if they were fighting with swords. Other cards will represent the tricks, tactics, schemes, and plots you utilize to win. It may be helpful to think of the game as a series of encounters with your opponent, through the centuries, rather than a single brief duel. While these rules will give you the basic framework for the game, the cards you play will often let you do things the rules say you cannot. Your deck of cards is your Endurance. After you have drawn all cards from your Endurance, you Exhaust. Exhaustion means a loss of 5 Ability, but not necessarily the end of the game. Both players are able to take a certain amount of damage before losing the duel. This amount is known as your Ability. You start the game with an unmodified ability of 15. If you take damage or are affected by ability loss or gain, your ability will be adjusted during the Ability Adjustment Phase.

  • Is There Something You Want to Tell Me?
    Is There Something You Want to Tell Me? by CJ Carter Why did she accept his offer? This was crazy. Tessa Noel couldn't believe that she agreed to go over to that strange man's apartment for dinner. Even while she was standing at his door, she was ambivalent about being here, but there was something about this Duncan MacLeod that intrigued her. The apartment house he’d chosen to live in was unexceptional, and in a middle-class neighborhood that was situated on the fringe of the more Bohemian section of Paris. Although the unadorned hallway outside the apartment had been recently painted an awful shade of canary yellow, the unmistakable smell of mildew penetrated the paint fumes and spoke of the building’s age. The apartment door opened. There he was. His smile was intoxicating. While it held a confidence that bordered on the arrogant, it also had the childlike innocence of wanting to please. "Hi," he said in an accent that sounded not-quite British and not-quite American. His informality made him seem more like a boy than a man. "Please, come in." “Thank you,” Tessa said in her melded Belgian/French accent before she crossed the threshold. Duncan closed the door behind her. They both hesitated for a minute, evaluating each other. Duncan was a little nervous, and tried not to stare. From the moment he had seen her earlier that day, he had known that she was the one he wanted to spend the next four or five decades with. She had an exuberance not unlike that of a filly running free on the plains.

  • S Adrian Paul
    An Interview with Highlander’s Adrian Paul One of the celebrities coming to RI Comic Con for the first time this year is Adrian Paul, best known for playing the immortal Duncan MacLeod in the “Highlander” TV series for six seasons in the ‘90s. Motif publisher Mike Ryan’s old karate school used to get together to watch episodes and discuss just how badly MacLeod could have kicked JCVD or Steven Seagal’s butts. He had the chance to ask the British actor and martial artist a few questions about what he’ll be up to at RICC. Mike Ryan (Motif): Have you been to Rhode Island before? Adrian Paul: Honestly, I’ve been so many places I can’t really be sure, but I don’t think so. MR: You’re from London, but you live in the US now, correct? AP: I’ve lived in the US for 30 years now. MR: I imagine “Highlander” is what you get most recognized for. How do you feel about that? AP: It’s par for the course really. I enjoy it, and it’s nice to be recognized. MR: Are you coming back to the “Highlander” universe, that you know of? AP: Not that I know of. There is a new movie that’s coming out, that seems to be gaining traction after several years of development; I think it’s probably on the road to possible pre-production. MR: I read that you started in dance. AP: I started in dance at one point. I also modeled, I also choreographed and was doing a lot of different things.
