In its centre, Before playing Relic: Nemesis for the first time, carefully the great Warp Rift pulses like a raw wound, drawing the dark punch the cardboard pieces out of their frames and attach attentions of powerful new foes, dreadful beings who even now circle all dials to their character or nemesis boards by matching the sector like predators stalking an injured beast of prey. the letters on the dials to the letters on the boards—the matching letters must face each other.

Do not remove the dials after war against anyone and everyone that stands in his way. And in the they are attached to the character or nemesis boards. shadows, an ancient daemon weaves her cunning schemes... Desperate to defend the Imperium’s tenuous foothold, certain highly- ranked agents have sought salvation in proscribed technology, turning the weapons of the enemy against their creators. While the potency of these items cannot be denied, it has caused a great schism in the Imperium, for its more puritanical agents openly denounce such practices as heresy, and do everything in their power to thwart the iconoclasts. In this time of strife, can a divided Imperium survive against so many foes—or will the sector run red with the blood of the faithful There are six floating dials (letters while the great works of mankind burn? A through F) that are attached to a bushing instead of a character or nemesis board. Again, players assemble these dials using plastic connector pairs by combining dials and bushings that contain matching letters, making sure matching letters face each other. The floating dials, (letters A through F) are interchangeable and players attach them to their nemesis board as described in the setup section for the “Enemies of the Imperium” game mode on page 6. The bushings attached to the floating dials may wear over time, causing a looser fit when attached to the nemesis boards. As such, there are several spare bushings that do not have letters; players can use these bushings as replacements if necessary. 3 Introduction Character Rules The Relic: Nemesis expansion contains character boards, This section contains new character rules. character bases, and character tokens to allow up to six players to play Relic. It also includes new Threat cards, Wargear cards, and Relic cards as well as character and scenario sheets that players Apostates can use to enrich their game experience. Some of the new wargear During a game of Relic: Nemesis, each character is either an and relics convert players into apostates, making them susceptible apostate or a devotee.

  • Talisman Emperor: Mortal Dimension Jumpchain
    Talisman Emperor: Mortal Dimension Jumpchain Books 1 – 7 (up to chapter 432) By Qīng Tíng (a.k.a. Herid Fel) Version 1.0 “Chen Xi was a jinx who radiated misfortune the way a torch radiated light, and everyone around him knew it. His entire clan was annihilated when he was young, and not too long after that his parents disappeared. His marriage contract? Poof. Torn to shreds and gone up in smoke before the eyes of everyone in the city, almost humiliating his grandfather to the point of suicide! Cultivation? No time for that, he had a family to take care of! This is the story of Chen Xi, a youth forced to stop cultivating and instead craft talismans to pay for his younger brother’s tuition… and who, in the process, would rise to become known by all as the Talisman Emperor! Crafting talismans. Physique refinement. Cultivating the supreme Dao of the sword. Comprehending the profound meaning of the laws….. In this world where primordial beings roam freely, Chen Xi relied on outstanding courage and wisdom, and heaven defying fortuitous encounters to eventually step onto the peak of the boundless Great Dao, and control everything under the heavens!“ An English translation of Talisman Emperor (and many other xianxia stories) can be found at WuxiaWorld. I know that many people reading this jumpchain document are unfamiliar with the ​ source material, so I included footnotes for many of the perks, techniques, and items to show where they appeared in the story.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

  • The Talisman ======An Electronic Edition
    Sir Walter Scott: The Talisman ============================== an electronic edition version 1.1: 1996-05-24 For information on sources and transcription, see the notes at the end of this text file ---------------------------------------------------------------- <title page> THE TALISMAN A TALE OF THE CRUSADERS <introduction> INTRODUCTION TO THE TALISMAN. The ``Betrothed'' did not greatly please one or two friends, who thought that it did not well correspond to the general title of ``The Crusaders.'' They urged, therefore, that without direct allusion to the manners of the Eastern tribes, and to the romantic conflicts of the period, the title of a ``Tale of the Crusaders'' would resemble the play-bill which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out. On the other hand, I felt the difficulty of giving a vivid picture of a part of the world with which I was almost totally unacquainted, unless by early recollections of the ``Arabian Nights' Entertainments;'' and not only did I labour under the incapacity of ignorance, in which, as far as regards Eastern manners, I was as thickly wrapped as an Egyptian in his fog; but my contemporaries were, many of them, as much enlightened upon the subject, as if they had been inhabitants of the favoured land of Goshen. The love of travelling had pervaded all ranks, and carried the subjects of Britain into all quarters of the world. Greece, so attractive by its remains of art, by its struggles for freedom against a Mahomedan tyrant, by its very name, where every fountain had its classical legend;---Palestine, endeared to the imagination by yet more sacred remembrances, had been of late surveyed by British eyes, and described by recent travellers.

    AXIS AND ALLIES 1914 OPTIONAL RULE: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Using this rule, you may attempt to develop improved military technology. If you decide to use Research & Development, it becomes the new phase 1 of the turn sequence, bumping the other phases up a number. Germany begins with Advanced Rail Network and Increased Mobilization. Austria-Hungary begins with Advanced Rail Network. Russia begins with Advanced Rail Network and Increased Mobilization. Britain begins with War Bonds. France begins with Advanced Rail Network and Increased Mobilization. Research and Development Sequence 1. Buy research dice 2. Roll research dice 3. Roll breakthrough die 4. Mark developments Step 1: Buy Research Dice Each research die costs 3 IPCs to develop a technology on the tier 1 chart and 6 IPCs to develop a technology on the tier 2 chart. Once a nation has acquired FOUR tier 1 technologies, the cost per die for tier 1 and tier 2 technologies becomes 3 IPCs for that nation. Buy as many as you wish, including none. Every turn, Germany, France, and Britain receives one free 3 IPC valued research die, which represents automatic ongoing war research. Step 2: Roll Research Dice Roll each of your purchased research dice. You must roll all tier 1 research dice before rolling any tier 2 research dice. Success: If you roll at least one “6”, you have successfully made a technological breakthrough. Continue to step 3. Failure: If you don’t roll a “6”, your research has failed. Step 3: Roll Breakthrough Die If your research was successful, reference the appropriate tier(s) of the research chart (below) and roll a single die on each tier to see which technological advance you get.

  • Russia Selective Capitalism and Kleptocracy
    21st Century Authoritarians Freedom House Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Radio Free Asia JUNE 2009 FFH_UD7.inddH_UD7.indd iiiiii 55/22/09/22/09 111:221:22 AAMM RUSSIA SELECTIVE CAPITALISM AND KLEPTOCRACY Daniel Kimmage The Kremlin deploys the conceptual vocabulary of the new Russia—national renewal, anti-Western xenophobia, sovereign democracy—through a sophis- ticated domestic communications strategy that marshals both the traditional state resources and much-expanded control over virtually all mainstream mass media. This one-two punch, coming amid a period of rising prosperity, has had a signifi cant impact on popular opinion, and the Kremlin’s message has resonated with its intended recipients. introduction When Russian tanks halted their advance a few kilometers from Tbilisi in August 2008, with the Georgian army in full fl ight and Georgia’s allies in Europe and the United States reduced to fulmination, the global consensus on the meaning of the invasion was swift and bracing: Russia was back, a force to be reckoned with, and intent on reclaiming its lost share of import and infl uence among nations. This consensus is as wrongheaded and simplistic as the previous incarnations of con- ventional wisdom it has replaced: fi rst, that Russia was engaged in a rollicking, rollercoaster transition from communist torpor to liberal democracy and a free-market economy, and then, when that fi ne vision foundered in fi nancial crisis and sundry misadventures toward the end of the 1990s, that Russia had become mired in some intermediary phase of its supposed transition and might soon slink off history’s grand stage altogether.
