  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Ghenko, the Mongol Invasion of Japan
    1 GHENKO THE MONGOL INVASION OF JAPAN HOJO TOKIMUNE. GHENKO THE MONGOL INVASION OF JAPAN BY NAKABA YAMADA, B.A. (Cantab.) WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LORD ARMSTRONG WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS LONDON SMITH, ELDER & CO., 15 WATERLOO PLACE 1916 [All rights reserved] *L\ 3 Y PREFACE evening in the summer before last, I ONEwas sitting in the reading-room of my College in Cambridge, when a small " " book entitled Westward Ho ! caught my eye. I was greatly attracted by its contents. In the mellowing light of the sun, I perused the book page after page, until my attention was diverted by the dining-bell from the hall. Ending my perusal, however, I stood a while with the pleasant memory of what I had read. One of my friends told me at table that that book was one of the great works of Charles Kingsley, and well worth reading. Having ob- tained a new copy, I finished the reading before long. It was from this reading that I acquired the idea of writing this book. My first intention was " to describe the historical event of the Mongol " " Invasion of Japan in such a novel as Westward " Ho ! But I have found it better to write an authentic, straightforward history rather than to use the medium of fiction. For the facts, which v 348467 PREFACE would be used as the basis of an historical novel, are not known to our Western friends as a whole, as the Chino-Japanese war or the Russo- war has been this is Japanese ; probably owing both to the remoteness of the events and the difficulties of research work, in a field so far removed in time and place.

I immediately went in and was delighted at the chance to admire a won- derful exhibition of the Museum’s magnificent collection of about a hundred Japanese blades, all recently restored in Japan. Once back in Cambridge, I set out to organize a visit to the exhibition for members of our kendo dojo, Tsurugi-Bashi. Although, as one might expect, many of our kendoka have an interest in Japanese swords, none of us is really knowledgeable, let alone an expert or collector. We therefore needed some preparation and guidance in order fully to appreciate the visit. In the spirit of encouraging people to find out more about the subject, I there- fore requested that members wishing to join the guided tour carry out a little research about some aspect of the Japanese sword, write it up as a short essay and present it to the others.

  • El Cid Recupera Su Espada, La Tizona 20MINUTOS.ES / EFE
    http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/238479/0/cid/espada/tizona/ El Cid recupera su espada, la Tizona 20MINUTOS.ES / EFE. 24.05.2007 - 08:17h La Tizona, espada del Cid, en el museo del Ejército (Juan Antonio Martínez / EFE). • La ha comprado la Junta de Castilla y León a su actual dueño, el marqués de Falces. • Su precio: 1,6 millones de euros. • Será depositada junto a los restos del Cid, en la catedral de Burgos. La Junta de Castilla y León ha adquirido por 1,6 millones de euros la Tizona , la espada del Cid Campeador (1043-1099), que de forma provisional ha sido depositada en el Museo de Burgos, aunque su destino final será previsiblemente la catedral de la ciudad, donde se encuentran los restos mortales del Campeador. La espada, hasta ahora propiedad de José Ramón Suárez de Otero, marqués de Falces, se encontraba en el Museo del Ejército de Madrid hasta su reciente cierre. Su dueño la ofreció primero al ministerio de Cultura, según explicó a Efe la consejera de Cultura y Turismo de Castilla y León, Silvia Clemente. Sin embargo, el ministerio la rechazó, por lo que el marqués de Falces comunicó a la Junta su intención de venderla. La Tizona será la pieza protagonista de la exposición que comenzará el próximo septiembre en la catedral de Burgos sobre Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, con motivo de la conmemoración del octavo centenario del Cantar de Mío Cid . Una de las dos espadas del Cid Según cuenta la leyenda, el Cid Campeador recibió la Tizona de manos de sus yernos, los infantes de Carrión, justo antes de que se desposaran con sus hijas, doña Elvira y doña Sol.

  • El Ocaso De La Caballería Medieval Y Su Pervivencia Iconográfica En La Edad Moderna
    EL OCASO DE LA CABALLERÍA MEDIEVAL Y SU PERVIVENCIA ICONOGRÁFICA EN LA EDAD MODERNA THE DECLINE OF MEDIEVAL CHIVALRY AND ITS ICONOGRAPHIC SURVIVAL IN THE MODERN AGE POR CARMEN VALLEJO NARANJO Universidad de Sevilla. España La imagen del caballero y la caballería medieval ha quedado fi jada en nuestra memoria colectiva como un paradigma. Su radicación y proyección en la pervivencia de múltiples aspectos y ámbitos, hacen de ella un bastión ineludible de la antropología cultural europea. Pocas veces arte y sociedad están tan indisolublemente unidos. En la Edad Moderna, toda su cultura se encontraba plenamente vigente. La caballería medieval pervivió y transmutó, en lo estético, en la fuerza de una imagen sublimada. Artísticamente como tópico literario e iconográfi co. Y, en lo social, con esa nostalgia de unos valores personales, de una ética ancestralmente laica que enaltecidos produjeron ese cariz épico y estético que convirtió al caballero en el referente humano con el que toda sociedad sueña. Palabras clave: Arte, sociedad, caballero, caballería, iconografía. The image of the knight and medieval chivalry is set solid in our collective memory as a paradigm. Its reverberation and dispersion in the continuity of multiple aspects and ambiences make it an unavoidable bulwark of European cultural anthropology. Art and society are not often so fi rmly united. In the Modern Age, all its culture was fully effective. Medieval chivalry survived and became, aestheti- cally, the power of a sublime image, artistically, a topic of literature and iconography, and socially, together with that nostalgia for personal values, for ancestrally layman ethics which, when glorifi ed, gave rise to the epic and aesthetic aspect that made it the human reference society as a whole dreamed of.

  • Budo Q&A 2021
    Budo Q&A 2021 March/April/May/June By Louis Vitalis Introduction • Budo is more than techniques training; • Shape your character, knowledge, position within (budo)society • A pandemic shouldn’t stop us from training those other aspects • So let’s ask our highest grade European sensei! Louis Vitalis sensei – kyoshi 7th dan kendo, -- kyoshi 7th dan jodo, -- kyoshi 7th dan iaido Guidelines for the Q&A • MUTE! So we can all enjoy Vitalis sensei’s talk • Questions: • Put them in the Google Form so we add them to the list for Vitalis sensei • Slides will be shared after the meeting, please handle with care Enjoy, learn, train! KATEI ENMAN 家庭円満 • Katei = Household, Ones home • Enman = Peaceful • Although this is not specific Budo terminology, it’s the first concept that my Kendo teacher Edo Kokichi taught me in 1979, during my second visit to Japan. • Wether your target in Budo is winning gold medals or obtaining higher dan grades, you will not be successful unless your home situation is stable. Additional stress will make it more difficult to focus on Budo. GEI NI ASOBU 藝於游 Kodokan building in Mito City, Ibaraki Ken GEI NI ASOBU 藝於游 • Gei = Art (as in Martial Art) • Asobu = Enjoy • The Kodokan was a kind of General University, where Samurai of the Region received Education in both Martial Arts and other arts and sciences. This saying was favoured by the 9th Daimyo of the Mito Han, Tokugawa Nariaki (1800-1860). • By this time, Martial Arts were no longer needed to kill an enemy, but it was already shifting from Jutsu to Do as we now know it.
