Blood Pact: Warlocks of Draenor
I think every month, the universe tries its best to unseat me from the warlock column. November is notoriously my worst month for anything, because everything wants to conflict with anything in November, for every one of my twenty-whatever years.
But thankfully, when it comes to BlizzCon, I can just replay things over and over on the Virtual Ticket with no problem. While I wasn't expecting a lot of warlock changes, given how ridiculously revamped we were for Mists of Pandaria, there were still a few notes of interest we could go over if you missed out on watching or attending BlizzCon.

Zentron, your art is really good. I'm sure lots of people around here would love it if you drew art for their stories. And you never know, some of those stories might someday get published :-)

Thanks Jason, I'd love to do that as well, though there's a lot on the plate at the mo, so there would be a fair long wait for anyone to be able to ask me
That said, I actually came across somebody selling a mug on eBay, featuring RoboCop, normally that's not a problem, the only problem with it, was the fact that the image of RoboCop being used on the mug, was the one that I had created, as posted above Needless to say... I had words with him

A mistake? So you must be copying a character from a show and something in her dress is different? I don't know who this is so I'll guess - the color of the gem in the sword?

Y'got it
FILMation's productions were just so full of mistakes, which is one of the problems with using stock animation sequences, not to mention making scenes a bit more dodgier looking than they should have been!

Sunday, March 3, 2013
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The next time Justin Morneau steps into the batter's box he'll be representing Canada in the World Baseball Classic.
"I'm sure we'll talk more hockey than baseball," Morneau said.
Saturday's game was also the final one before the WBC for two Twins on the United States team: catcher Joe Mauer and pitcher Glen Perkins.
Perkins' final outing before the WBC was strong. He pitched a hitless inning and struck out two. |

N-ACETYL CYSTEINE Overview Information
N-acetyl cysteine comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. N-acetyl cysteine has many uses as medicine.
N-acetyl cysteine is used to counteract acetaminophen (Tylenol) and carbon monoxide poisoning. It is also used for chest pain (unstable angina), bile duct blockage in infants, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease), Alzheimer's disease, allergic reactions to the anti-seizure drug phenytoin (Dilantin), and an eye infection called keratoconjunctivitis. It is also used for reducing levels of a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein (a), homocysteine levels (a possible risk factor for heart disease) and the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with serious kidney disease.
Some people use N-acetyl cysteine for chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hay fever, a lung condition called fibrosing alveolitis, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer. It is also used for treating some forms of epilepsy; ear infections; complications of kidney dialysis; chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren's syndrome; preventing sports injury complications; radiation treatment; increasing immunity to flu and H1N1 (swine) flu; and for detoxifying heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium.
N-acetyl cysteine is also used for preventing alcoholic liver damage; for protecting against environmental pollutants including carbon monoxide, chloroform, urethanes and certain herbicides; for reducing toxicity of ifosfamide and doxorubicin, drugs that are used for cancer treatment; as a hangover remedy; for preventing kidney damage due to certain X-ray dyes; and for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Healthcare providers give N-acetyl cysteine intravenously (by IV) for acetaminophen overdose, acrylonitrile poisoning, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease), kidney failure in the presence of liver disease (hepatorenal syndrome), chest pain in combination with nitroglycerin, heart attack in combination with nitroglycerin and streptokinase, and for helping to prevent multi-organ failure leading to death.
N-acetyl cysteine is sometimes inhaled (breathed into the lungs) or delivered through a tube in the throat to treat certain lung disorders such as pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and others.
How does it work?
N-acetyl cysteine treats acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning by binding the poisonous forms of acetaminophen that are formed in the liver. It is also an antioxidant, so it may play a role in preventing cancer.
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Helping to prevent crusting in people with a tube in their windpipe (people who have undergone a tracheostomy).
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning. N-acetyl cysteine is effective in reducing the death rate and preventing the permanent harm caused by acetaminophen poisoning. For this use, N-acetyl cysteine given by mouth is as effective as N-acetyl cysteine given intravenously (by IV).
- Reducing mucus and helping with breathing in various lung conditions.
- Cystic fibrosis.
Possibly Effective for:
- Preventing problems such as heart attack and stroke in people with serious kidney disease. The risk reduction can be as much as 40%. However, N-acetyl cysteine doesn't reduce the overall risk of death or death from heart disease in these people.
- Chest pain (angina).
- Preventing complications of chronic bronchitis.
- Preventing complications of lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD).
- Preventing side effects of ifosfamide (Ifex), which is used for certain types of cancer.
- Preventing kidney problems with dyes used during some X-ray exams.
- Reducing homocysteine levels, a possible risk factor for heart disease.
- Reducing symptoms of the flu.
- Reducing symptoms of hair pulling.
- Treating some types of epilepsy seizures.
- Treating a lung disease called fibrosing alveolitis.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Preventing side effects of doxorubicin (used for treating certain types of cancer).
- Treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease).
Likely Ineffective for:
- Preventing new tumors in people with head and neck cancer, or lung cancer.
- Treating Alzheimer's disease.
- Improving how the body responds to nitroglycerin (Nitrostat).
- Treating organ failure.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Colon cancer. Taking N-acetyl cysteine may reduce the likelihood of colon and rectal cancer in patients with a history of adenomatous colon polyps.
- Heart attack. Early evidence shows that N-acetyl cysteine given by IV along with nitroglycerin and another drug called streptokinase may reduce heart damage in people having a heart attack.
- Carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Allergic reactions to phenytoin (Dilantin).
- Ear infections.
- Hay fever.
- Removing heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium from the body.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
- Preventing alcoholic liver damage.
- Protecting against environmental pollutants.
- Other conditions.
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE Side Effects & Safety
N-acetyl cysteine is LIKELY SAFE for most adults, when used as a prescription medication. It can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea or constipation. Rarely, it can cause rashes, fever, headache, drowsiness, low blood pressure, and liver problems.
When inhaled (breathed into the lungs), it can also cause swelling in the mouth, runny nose, drowsiness, clamminess, and chest tightness.
N-acetyl cysteine has an unpleasant odor that may make it hard to take.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy or breast-feeding: N-acetyl cysteine is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth, delivered through a hole in the windpipe, or breathed in. N-acetyl cysteine crosses the placenta, but there is no evidence so far linking it with harm to the unborn child or mother. However, N-acetyl cysteine should only be used in pregnant women when clearly needed, such as in cases of acetaminophen toxicity.Allergy: Don't use N-acetyl cysteine if you are allergic to acetyl cysteine.
Asthma: There is a concern that N-acetyl cysteine might cause bronchospasm in people with asthma if inhaled or taken by mouth or through a tube in the windpipe. If you take N-acetyl cysteine and have asthma, you should be monitored by your healthcare provider.
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Nitroglycerin interacts with N-ACETYL CYSTEINE
Nitroglycerin can dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. Taking N-acetyl cysteine seems to increase the effects of nitroglycerin. This could cause increased chance of side effects including headache, dizziness, and lightheadedness.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Activated charcoal interacts with N-ACETYL CYSTEINE
Activated charcoal is sometimes used to prevent poisoning in people who take too much acetaminophen and other medications. Activated charcoal can bind up these medications in the stomach and prevent them from being absorbed by the body. Taking N-acetyl cysteine at the same time as activated charcoal might decrease how well it works for preventing poisoning.
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- For acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose: at the beginning of treatment, a first high dose of 140 mg/kg of a 5% solution of N-acetyl cysteine is given. The commercially available 10% and 20% solutions may be diluted with water, carbonated, or non-carbonated beverages, and given through a straw to lessen the unpleasant odor of N-acetyl cysteine. Seventeen additional doses of 70 mg/kg as a 5% solution are given every 4 hours, for a total dose of 1330 mg/kg over 72 hours.
- For chest pain that is not relieved by rest (unstable angina): 600 mg of N-acetyl cysteine three times daily with a nitroglycerin patch.
- For preventing sudden worsening of chronic bronchitis: doses of 200 mg twice daily, 200 mg three times daily, 300 mg slow-release twice daily, and 600 mg controlled-release twice daily have been used.
- For treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): 600 mg of N-acetyl cysteine once daily, in addition to standard care, has been used for up to 6 months.
- For treating a lung condition called fibrosing alveolitis that makes breathing difficult: 600 mg of N-acetyl cysteine 3 times daily.
- For preventing damage to the bladder due to treatment with a cancer drug called ifosfamide: 1 to 2 grams of N-acetyl cysteine every 6 hours.
- For reducing levels of homocysteine in the blood: 1.2 grams of N-acetyl cysteine daily.
- For myoclonus epilepsy: 4-6 grams daily.
- For reducing flu symptoms: 600 mg twice daily.
- For reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients with end-stage kidney disease: 600 mg twice daily.
- For skin wounds due to hemodialysis treatment: 200 mg four times daily or 600 mg twice daily.
- For preventing kidney damage associated with the use of iopromide (Ultravist-300) for diagnostic tests: 400 to 600 mg of N-acetyl cysteine twice daily on the day before and on the day of iopromide administration, with IV saline (0.45%) 1 mL/kg body weight per hour for 12 hours before and 12 hours after iopromide administration.
- For trichotillomania (hair-pulling): N-acetyl cysteine 1200 mg to 2400 mg daily has been used.
- Healthcare providers give N-acetyl cysteine intravenously (by IV) for acetaminophen poisoning.

The Hethel Test Track is 2.2 miles in length and can be divided into 2 separate circuits - North and South. The total land occupied by the track and surrounding run-off areas covers approximately 30 acres of the 50 acre Group Lotus site.
The test track meets FIA specification, but is not formally FIA approved, as it is used for testing purposes only.
In use 6 days a week (Sundays are precluded due to noise restrictions), the track is used for testing by Lotus Engineering, Lotus Motorsport and the press, for driver training by Lotus Driving Academy and private events. Having been renovated in 2011 the track combines a variety of technical aspects from a
driving perspective; a series of bends, hairpin corners, straights and turning circle designed to put Lotus' high performance cars through their paces, providing an excellent venue for honing driving skills.
The track was officially re-opened on 21 June 2011 at an historic event where both current and historic Lotus cars were driven around the new track by Nigel Mansell, Jean Alesi, Vitaly Petrov, Bruno Senna, Greg and Leo Mansell, Johnny Mowlem and others as the Chapman family, members of staff, the press, Lotus dealers and VIP's watched on.
Experience a couple of laps in the Exige S on the North circuit of the Lotus track during testing in 2012.
Lotus legend, Nigel Mansell, officially opened Group Lotus's revised and restored Hethel test track - with a roar from the 1980 Essex-Lotus 81B in which he started his glorious Formula One career more than 30-years-ago.
Mansell led a convoy of seven stunning racing cars from the Lotus stable, including the innovative 1980 Type 88 twin-chassis car – which the rule makers never allowed to race; the Lotus Type 125 car driven by fellow F1 legend Jean Alesi; and a brace of 2011 Formula One cars piloted by F1 drivers Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna.
Described by Nigel Mansell as "an emotional day" for himself and the Chapman family. Bruno Senna described it as giving him "goosebumps".
From a drivers perspective it is a "challenging track" and an "awesome facility" according to Johnny Mowlem.
The highlights of this historic day were captured on film.

Hi Bianca, is there anyway to order the iPhone 6 case with a white background instead of the light blue? Love your work
Absolutely beautiful map. Are the colors on this print the same as the one available at Urban Outfitters? The Urban Outfitters print appears to be slightly lighter in color.
Also, in terms of this particular print, it is very hard to tell which color frame would match best. Any recommendations?
Hi Meldamelda, glad you like this piece! Yes, Urban Outfitters has the exact same print file, no color variations. It may appear lighter due to the way they shot the print in their showroom. With this particular piece, any frame color goes! So it mainly depends on wall color and the rest of your place. For my living, I used a vintage wood frame that I painted white, and love how it looks! Hope that helps :)
Wow this is absolutely stunning work! I am new here. Could you please give me feed back if you have a minutes or two. It will really help me so much. :)
Great design! I like the idea of it! Have a look of mine and see if you like it! http://society6.com/product/break-is-...rsonalidea

Guidebook to the City of Dolmvay (PDF)
Small Niche Games
Timothy B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 03/03/2014 11:26:38
I have been waiting for this book for a while and I have to say it was worth the wait.
Dolmvay is not only a highly detailed city complete with maps, npcs, new monsters and pretty much everything you need, it is also a shared city.
Let's talk about the product first. It's Pay What You Want, but it is certainly worth at least $19.95 or more (so pay at least 5 buck or more!). You get 223 pages worth of material. There are the maps I mentioned, but there is also a fairly detailed history. You could easily drop this into any game, and let's be honest, any system. If you are familiar with other products from SNG then takes place in the World of Amherth setting. But this book (and most of the Amherth books) are easily adapted to any setting.
There is a chapter on adventuring in the city. How the local churches react to magic and what can be expected of travelling adventurers.
Makes it perfect for a way point between adventures, but you would be missing all the fun.
The book also details an number houses, factions and NPCs and their own desires for the city. If you like games of political intrigue and courtly drama then this is a good place to start.
The bulk of the book details the layout of the city. In this respect it reads like a guide book. NPCs, hooks and other information is given. There is plenty here for new GM to use it as is and plenty more for an experienced GM to add their own information.
It strikes a nice balance between detail and flexibility. Among my favorite items are the random rumor table and the common greetings and gestures. Things like this give a setting life of it's own.
Common businesses are covered as well as a sampling of Taverns and Inns. City encounters and even some new monsters.
Venture into the sewers or the Island of Heroes.
There is a section on random NPC generation as well.
Dolmvay the concept is the idea that this is a shared City. If developers want to create their own encounters, adventures or anything else really and set it in Dolmvay then there is an easy to use and free license to do so.
It is such a great idea I am surprised that no one else has done it before.
This book is steal at any price.

Thank you Timothy! I\'m glad you like the idea of a shared city. I still think a witch\'s coven would fit in nicely!
Mecha vs. Kaiju Campaign Setting (True20)
Big Finger Games
Timothy B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/27/2014 09:56:22
The game is set up much like other True20 books. You have your three archetypes/characters (Adept, Expert, Warrior) and a host of new feats and powers to choose from. Some are campaign-specific but almost all could be used anywhere else. In fact there is enough here that the main feature of MvK is readily apparent; you don't have to do games about fighting giant monsters all the time. Now of course the main plot and thrust of this game is fighting giant monsters, but I can easily see some adventures of exploring monster islands, contests between cocky pilots, mad scientists, children with newly awakened psychic powers.
When I first read this game my thoughts went first to Godzilla, but you can do Akira here as well and any number of other "Neo Tokyo" genres. Plus it is compatible with a host of True20 books I already have, so adding cyberpunk, horror or even comedy is easy.
If you don't like the campaign background you can leave it, but I think you would be missing out on something really fun if you do.
This might in fact be my favorite True20 setting.

Wildstar Class Corvette/RPG Battle Maps
Timothy B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/27/2014 07:19:40
The BEST thing about DriveThruRPG? I can usually find a product that does EXACTLY what I want it do.
Case in point, the Wildstar Class Corvette.
I have been wanting to reboot my old sci-fi game and I had a map of a Corvette scout ship. That map disappeared years ago. A quick search here on "corvette" uncovered this map.
It is pretty much exactly what I needed.
It is a good map for 40 crewmen and usable with any sci-fi game.
My only gripe about it is there is now side projection of decks. I would have liked to have seen that as well.

Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3 rulebook
Spectrum Games
Timothy B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/09/2013 20:20:09
I just got my pdf of Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3 thanks to pledging in their Kickstarter.
This one was a no-brainer for me. I loved CAH:S2 and have really enjoyed all of Spectrum Games products to date.
How does CAH:S3 stack up? In an 80's word, Awesome!
CAH:S3 takes us back to the 80s Saturday morning (and week day afternoon) cartoons AND the toys that were so linked to them. But I am getting ahead of myself.
And while I am still ahead of myself this game has the most awesome character sheet EVER!
Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3 (CAH:S3) is a game about cartoon and toy emulation. Specially 80s cartoons and toy emulation. So there are some things that a given out of the box. You won't see any deaths. Violence happens in terms of gun fire, explosions and maybe a fist fight, but you won't see people getting hurt. There is a moral or message to every "episode" and the bad guy is going to get away in the end only to be back next time like nothing happened.
The book, like Season 2, is divided into "Channels". Channel 1 is the intro material, Channel 2 is the game system, Channel 3 is series creation (potentially more important than the characters themselves), Channel 4 is all about the Players, Channel 5 is the Game Master's section and finally we have an Appendix.
Channel 1 is the simple introductory material, but more over there is a great overview of how these cartoons (and this game) worked. There is a logic at work here in these and to get the most out of this game it is one you should follow. The best feature of this Channel is of course the overview of the 80s cartoons. It's not a laundry list of every toon, but a selective "bibliography" and must see TV.
Channel 2 covers the game system itself. In many games this is the Character creation chapter, but since character creation and series creation are so closely tied together we will discuss the system first. The game is made up of a Series (the game), Seasons (a campaign), Episodes and Scenes. Characters are PCs and GMC (Game Master Characters). A Season for example is made up of 6 Episodes. I might stick with my more familiar 12 and allow a mid-season break. Why is this important? At season breaks is when you can improve your character or change it all together.
Characters are made up of Traits and Qualities. Traits are something definitive about the character like "Strongest Man in World" or "Sneaky Thief" or "Leader of the Decipti-bots". Stuff like that. Qualities are more quantifiable and are measured based on how powerful your series is. Characters can also be ranked in terms of their Star Power. Stars (and PCs) have the highest at 3, your nameless, faceless goon has 1. If there is only one star, then they are Star Power 4.
Oomph is the power-, hero- or drama point mechanic. Collect "Proofs of Purchase" to get more Oomph!
It is equal to your Star Power but changes through out the game.
The basic mechanic of the game is the Check.
Traits and Qualities (and Oomph) add to the dice rolls on a Check.
Characters may not die, but they can loose an important scene. For that there are Setback Tokens. These Crucial Checks are usually the ones right before a commercial break or even worse, the ones at the end of an episode and continued next time (granted there were not a lot of those, but GI Joe first season comes to mind). Gain more Setbacks than your Star Power and you are out of the scene.
Season 3 has something new in it, or at least something I don't recall from Season 2. Gestalts. This allows you to combine powers, bodies or whatever into something greater. Think Voltron or some Transformers.
I think one of the rules I like the most here is "The Movie" which allows you, within the game, to throw out some of conceits of the game. So in this characters can die! Bad guys hit their targets! Mechanically you get more Oomph and damage and Setback tokens are not removed as often (no commercials after all) the risks are higher but characters that make it out gain experience and can be changed. Think "The Transformers Movie" from 1986.
Channel 3 covers Series Creation. Wait, where is Character creation you ask? Well it's here too. Series and Characters are created together. You can't have GI Joe without the Joes or Transformers without the Autobots. First this is create a Series guideline. First figure out what your series in named and it's tagline. So the example I used last time was The Hex Girls with the tagline "We'll put a spell on you!". Next up figure out the details of the series. Tech level, twists, genre. What is your elevator pitch on this. "Modern Earth, magic is real, but no one believes in it. Characters are supernaturals and try to lead normal lives." Something like that, only more detail. The newest feature of the series creation is the Dial. Dials tell you the levels of the game. How comedic is it? How realistic? What's the violence?
Now we get into character creation.
Characters are ranked as either human, superhuman or cosmic. The GM will decide, based on the series, on what traits can't be used, or limits on the traits and other details before the characters are made. So as an example a series about wizard kids must all have a trait "Wizard" at 3 or better, but no technology-based traits.
After that character creation is a breeze.
There are some special abilities and then we discuss GMC (Game Master Characters). They are created much the same way, only less details. Some templates such as goons and Master Villains are presented.
Playsets are where the action takes place and they are created in a similar way.
How cool is this sheet?
Character advancement is handled next. Among the obvious places for advancement you can also put in points to the playset to upgrade your base. So something like in Season 2 getting a new super smart computer in the base or a new book of spells.
We end with 8 series ideas.
Channel 4 covers advice to the Players. A game like CAH requires a lot of buy in from the players. You can't go into it like you do other games. This is not "Dungeons & Dragons" this is the "Dungeons & Dragons cartoon". So the players have to go in with the right frame of mind. You want your game to be like the first season of G.I. Joe where everyone worked together, not the seasons that featured (and were dominated by) Sgt. Slaughter.
Channel 5 has similar advice for the Game Master. Again emphasis here is placed on cartoon logic, and creating a fun series and episode. Don't forget the "And Now You Know" messages at the end! That's not a bug, it's a feature of the game.
In the end what we have is a crazy fun game again. If you were a kid in the 80s and watched any cartoons then there is something here for you. It is also a great change of pace from all the other games I play. This game focuses on having fun as well as being fun.
There are no conversions for CAH:S2 here. But the conversions look simple to be honest. Enough that I feel fine moving characters from one to the next with little to no effort.
Character Creation is much improved in this edition and much more streamlined. Series creation is about the same, but it was just right in the last version.
Looking forward to doing a lot more with this one!

XL1 Quest for the Heartstone (Expert)

Module XL1 Quest for the Heartstone is an adventure for the D&D Expert set, Mentzer/BECMI version.
Let's be honest and upfront right away. This is not a great module. The adventure is widely described as being akin to everyone's first module. The adventure is your basic "retrieve an item at the end of a dungeon crawl" fare.
The real reason behind this module are the toys. Specifically the LJN/AD&D toy line.
In fact you can pretty find an entry for every monster in the toy line, save for Tiamat herself.
Now I am not sure if the module was designed to sell toys (not likely since the markets seemed different to me) or rather as way to bridge the lines. There are references in the module n which toy to use for the encounter and to tell you the truth, it sounds kind of fun.
Reviewing the module again in this light, as an excuse to use the toy line, it actually dawns on me that it would be a blast with the right group.
It should also be said that this module includes the stats for many of the favorite npcs/figures such as Warduke, Kalek and Strongheart, plus a few I didn't even know about.
So viewing the module in this light, is could be quite fun despite it's short comings.
So 4/5. The adventure itself is more of a 2/5, but the stats and the idea of the using the toyline improves it in my mind.

Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl.
The boy was just getting started out in his new life as an "adventurer". He didn't know much, and the girl even asked him if knew about clerics at all. But theirs was not a story to fill long epics or sagas. Her story ended then when she was murdered.
The Shrine of St. Aleena is an adventure in the lands where that boy who never forgot that girl, would later become a man, settle down, raise some kids and erect a 20 ft tall statue in honor of the saint she became and the girl she was.
The adventure "The Shrine of St. Aleena" is another act of devotion. Maybe by a similar boy, now 30 years later a man. Sorry, I don't know Peter C. Spahn personally. The adventure is designed for beginning level characters, levels 1-3, around the the eponymous shrine. Just like the old days there is a dungeon crawl and the surrounding environs where monsters can be fought and sometimes even NPCs can be befriended.
The central plot is that the minions of "The Infamous One", the wizard that killed that poor girl, are attempting to defile this most holy of places. It is up to this generation of heroes to once again stop his plans.
This could have come off as a ham fist attempt at nostalgia, but there is an earnestness about it and honesty that instead it comes off as loving tribute. The art, descriptions and some situations all have thinly-veiled references to things going on in the 80s in gaming that if you are the right age then you will find them very amusing. But if not, no worries, they still work in the adventure.
The plot is thin at best, but it's still more plot than most of the old-school adventures from the time when the Saint herself was still alive. So really, that is feature not a bug.
There is a great table of rumors (d12 though not a d20), plenty of random wilderness encounters (yeah a d20 table!) and of course that awesome site of the 20 ft statue of the saint (see cover). In true old-school fashion there are a lot of save or die encounters here, so you are warned.
The objective is easily defined, but there is a lot here to keep the party busy. A dedicated party could complete in one (longish) session. Most parties though will take more.
The only thing I think missing in this is some information on what the shrine is like after the defeat of the Spawn. Personally I think drinking from the pool grants a Cure Light Wounds once in a character's life time or maybe even a Bless enchantment. Another random table! d6 for random benefit!
In the end I really enjoyed this and plan on inserting it into my regular game as a "Side trek". That's pretty serious for me. I was limiting all my adventures to modules made in the 80s only.

If you ever only buy ONE product from BRW and the Adventures Dark & Deep line then make sure it is this one.
I love monster books. I have said so many, many times. But I also hold them to a high standard. While I Will gladly buy any monster book, few get my high praise. Adventures Dark and Deep Bestiary is one of those few.
Let be honest up front. We have seen most if not all the monsters somewhere else before.
Most are in the SRD or from other Open sources. The new ones are great, but they are ideas we have seen.
And none of that matters. This is still a great book.
At 457 pages (pdf) it is a beast. Monsters are alphabetically listed by areas you would find them in. So Wilderness and Dungeon is by far the bulk of them, but there are also Waterborne (fitting in with the rules) and "Outsiders" or monsters from the other planes. But I am getting ahead of myself.
The book begins with two monster spell casters, the Shaman and the Witch Doctor. Shades of similar classes from the BECMI RC to be sure. But they work here great and frankly I know someone will want to use these rules to play a Shaman one day. Heck I once tried a Wemic Shaman in early 2e days myself. Maybe I'll see if I can do that here. The classes are not detailed and they don't need to be. The do what they need to do.
The Monster descriptions are a bit like those found in OSRIC though there are some interesting additions.
Each Monster has a Morale, like that found in Basic and 2nd ed, though it is not score but an adjustment. Attacks are listed in the stat block, though they are the attack types. This is most similar to "Special Attacks" in other rules. Also wholly new are "Weaknesses" which is an interesting idea and one I think other OSR publishers should adopt. Each monster then gets a couple of paragraphs of text. Many are illustrated thanks to the highly successful kickstarter for this (more on that later). The illustrations are great too as you can see here and here.
All the monsters have General, Combat and Appearance sections in their write-ups.
Unlike 2e (and 4e) monsters are not confined to one-page entries. Some have paragraphs, others just a few lines. This is good since I think we would have something like 1000+ pages. I think I read there are 1100 monsters in this book. Maybe 900. Anyway it's a lot. I spot checked a few monsters I thought might not be there, but sure enough they were. Ok so the ones that are Closed via the OGL are not here, but I was not expecting those. There are some alternates and stand ins if you really, really need them though.
The book sections are:
Wilderness and Dungeon, aka Most of the Monsters
Underwater and Waterborne, larger than expected, but not surprised given the material in the core books.
Prehistoric Monsters, always nice to have; Dinosaurs and Ice Age mammals.
Extra Planar Monsters, your Outsiders.
Appendix A details creating your own monsters.
Appendix B has something I didn't even realize was missing till I started reading the stats; a basic psionic system for psychic strikes.
Appendix C covers random creatures from the Lower Planes. This is the first "Gygaxian" touch I have noticed in this book. Reminds me of a really old Dragon magazine article from years ago..
Appendix D is magic resistance table
and Appendix E covers the abilities of Gods.
All of this in a PDF for just under $15.
I have mentioned before that Joe gets his work done and gets it done fast. Well this is not only no exception but it is the new benchmark. Joe ended his kickstarter and then got printed books out to people 6 months early. Let that sink in for a moment. In a hobby where we tolerate (although not quietly) Kickstarters with delays of 18 months, Joe and BRW are out there, turning out product and getting it to people early.
You should buy a copy of this book on that principle alone.
So should you get this book?
If you like monsters then yes. If you need monsters for your oldschool game then yes. If you want to support Joe and the Adventures Dark & Deep system then yes. If you want to reward good Kickstarter behavior then absolutely yes.
Lots of good reasons to get in my book. It is also the best book in his line.

Adventures Dark and Deep Game Masters Toolkit
BRW Games

[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 10/17/2013 13:54:12
Originally posted here:
One of the greatest books ever produced for any game is the 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide. One of the most disappointing books ever made was the 2nd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide.
The logic for this was good. All the information that all players need should be in the Player's Handbook. The rest goes into the DMG. The result should be a larger Player's Book than a Game Master's book. That is what we got for 2nd ed. Somehow it didn't quite work as well.
Adventures Dark & Deep follows the same logic but gain a different result.
The Adventures Dark and Deep Game Masters Toolkit is the book that BRW and Joseph Bloch didn't have to do a Kickstarter for. The statement that Joe put out at the time was Kickstarters are for projects he needed to finish the funding for. The Game Masters Toolkit did not need it.
The GMTK is smaller than the Player's Book at 174 pages. Not as small as the 2nd ed DMG, but the comparison is there. The GMTK also includes some information from A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore but it also has a lot more.
The GMTK also follows an example from 2nd ed and it largely mirrors the layout and placement of sections form the Players Book. Something that the 1st ed DMG could have done better.
We start with a discussion on "alternate" races like the Dark Elf or Deep Gnome.
Various NPC types are discussed including class distribution and some non-classes like noble and hirelings.
There are tables to generate personalities and physical traits for random NPCs, as well as alignment and possessions.
We get into the Game Environment that is a hold over from A Curious Volume.
Swimming, Underwater travel and Flying are also discussed along with various terrains and hazards. A little bit down we have a section on ships that is greatly expanded. Again, could have used this when I was wrapping up my 1st Ed AD&D game.
The feel of these is similar to the classic DMG, but better organized.
Social Encounters come from A Curious Volume, but having them here in context with the other rules is much nicer.
Treasure types are discussed and magic item distribution.
The most interesting bits to me are coming up. To me this shows the influence of the 3e DMG or just a natural progression. Bloch covers not just the campaign world, the campaign mythos as well. So whether you like playing in a Classical world, a Lost Golden Age, Underground or even in a Lovecraftian-inspired world is up to you. You are given the tools to build what you need, but not the worlds themselves (this is Feature, not a Bug!).
Religion and Gods are covered next. Various reasons to have a god or a patron deity are covered and what sorts of powers they all have. The list of powers and abilities is more 1st Ed than 2nd Ed. I will also admit I don't know much off the top of my head about what Gygax said about gods and religions. I know he said some things. On a personal note I had conversations with Mr. Gygax himself on the topic of religion and I know he was no great fan despite his own history.
Bloch though moves on and gives us a sample Pantheon to use in our game, the Norse gods. Again from personal knowledge I know that Joseph Bloch is a fan of the Norse mythology and gods, so this is a good fit really. Though I do wonder at the utility of listing the XP for permanently slaying Odin (1,022,000 XP btw).
The Planes of Existence is up next and it is cut from the Gygaxian cloth. Wholly compatible to what we have seen in 1st and 2nd ed, there are some nice twists. I like the art depicting the planes in relationship to each other.
Next we get into a section on Designing Adventures. Covered are Dungeons, Wilderness and Urban. The section is not long, but very useful.
Magic Items are next. Personally I would have liked the charts for the Magic Items and the descriptions to all be in one place. This takes up quite a bit of the book at 70 pages.
Appendix A is last and it collects and reprints all the useful tables.
With the GMTK you can really see the utility of Adventures Dark & Deep over a reference guide like OSRIC. Not a slight at OSRIC at all, but this book has a slight edge in just by being a seperate Game Masters book.
To me the advantages of this book, all this information is one place, is better than say OSRIC or Labyrinth Lord + what is missing.
That being said, there are still some things I would have done differently. Most involve the placement of various section. Others I know are "locked" into the Gygazian visions or at least how Joseph Bloch interprets them. For me, I think I would have expanded the sections on adventuring in Dungeons, Wilderness and Urban settings more. I would have expanded the section on how to create magic items and even changed somethings. But that is me.
All in all this is a good addition to the game line. I felt less of the Gygax connection here. Hard to say if that is me not knowing what he said on these subjects OR these are things that need to be here logically to make the rest of the game work. In any case I am happy with what I got.

Adventures Dark and Deep Players Manual

Originally Posted here:

A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore is true here. Including how this was the result of a particularly successful Kickstarter that shipped early.
The book works under the premise of what would 2nd Edition have looked like if Gary Gygax had stayed at TSR. Joe has taken articles, interviews and discussions and something like an anthropologist pieced it all together to get something new and yet familiar. Unlike the previous book, the Player Manual makes no assumptions that you have AD&D1 or OSRIC. There are some obvious roots in those games, but this is now it's own thing.
Like most Player's books this one concentrates much of it's text on creating characters.
There is the obligatory sections on how to use the dice and then how to generate ability scores. In a difference from this game and it's spiritual cousin AD&D 2nd ed, we still have exceptional strength. Also all the ability score tables go to 25. Humans (and most PCs) still rank 3-18.
The same six ability scores are here. Interestingly enough, not Comeliness. I thought that would have made the cut.
Races are covered. Again the same ones we have seen before. But thats the point isn't it? This a AD&D2 as if Gary had created it. So there are a lot of elements in common here with AD&D 1 and 2 plus older versions. We do get a Dark Elf (not a Drow) and Half-Orc. It would take a critical eye to see the differences here between Adventures Dark & Deep and say OSRIC.
Classes include the new and the old.
From A Curious Volume we have: the Bard, Jester, Mystic, Savant, Thief-Acrobat, Mountebank
From the classic sources we have: the Paladin, Cleric, Druid (topping out at 15th level), Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, Mage, Illusionist, Thief
And new to this volume we have: the Cavalier, Vates (Druids of 15th level and higher).
The Assassin is listed in the Appendix.
Classes are grouped into Class and Sub-class like AD&D1/2 but not like OSRIC. So all in all 17 (18) classes. Not bad really.
The Alignment system is the same as *D&D.
Secondary Skills is pretty much the same as what is found in A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore. Same with the Monthly Expenses which is now part of Social Class.
The next big section is Combat which includes the standard D&D style combat we all know and the additional material from A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore. Morale is back in this edition, sort of like it was in Basic and AD&D2. There is a nice section on item saving throws. I have seen similar ones over the years, but this one seems fairly complete.
The next section is Magic.
It includes the making of magic items, learning spells and even an optional rule on sacrifice. The bulk though is devoted to spells.
The Spells are listed by class and level, but all the spells are alphabetical. There are 118 pages of spells, so roughly what you would expect from OSRIC and A Curious Volume. I see about 6-7 spells per page, so maybe close to 650 spells. There could also be more, but I did not check every single one. The spells are are written in a way that makes them compatible with pretty much every other OSR-style book out there.
Appendix A covers the Assassin class.
Appendix B covers weapons vs. various Armor types. A very Gygaxian holdover. As opposed to vs. AC, this is actually the type of armor. I like it and it makes sense. I am thinking of using this in my own old school game to be honest.
Appendix C covers combat tables.
The book does capture the feel of old D&D with some interesting twists. None that would trip you up, but still enough to make you go "huh, that is kind of neat".
The art is nice and still invokes that Old-School feel without looking dated.
The PDF is copy/paste restricted, but not print restricted. Which is good because I want to print that Appendix B. The physical book is nice and sturdy and at 257 pages it is a decent sized book. It compares well to the AD&D 2nd Ed Player's Handbook to be honest.
It is a nice book.
So who should get this book?
Well if you like the OSR or enjoy AD&D then this is a good choice. It is a better "game" than OSRIC is. I say "game" because OSRIC isn't a game as much as a reference to a game you already know how to play.
If you have A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore and OSRIC then yes you could re-create this book on your own. But part of the utility of this book is that all of that information is in one volume.
It is worth it for the new classes and spells too.
I like it because it is a well researched "What If" experiment, much like Spellcraft & Swordplay (what if D&D continued using the default combat roll) and B/X Companion (what if the Companion rules had come out for B/X and not BECMI). We will never know what Gygax's 2nd Ed would have been like. In a way, really we don't need to know. 2e was fine and Adventures Dark & Deep is here now.
It is perfectly playable and fun.

A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore is the first of Joseph Bloch's Adventures Dark & Deep books. It is presented as an add-on or supplement to OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord or any other "Old School" game. But its roots are obviously in AD&D 1st edition.
The book works under the premise of what would 2nd Edition have looked like if Gary Gygax had stayed at TSR. Joe has taken articles, interviews and discussions and something like an anthropologist pieced it all together to get something new and yet familiar.
At a modest 140 or so pages, this book packs in a lot.
We begin with some level limits of some newer races. By newer I mean ones that did not appear in the Player's Handbook/OSRIC.
We quickly move into classes. First up it should be noted is a usable Bard class. No more advancing as a thief, fighter and then druid to get to the bard, this is a straight out bard class. Already makes it worth it. The bard also has some nice powers too. I will be honest, when playing in my "old school" games this is the Bard I look to the most often now.
We also get a Jester class, which is nice because it is one of those classes I remember Gygax talking about wanting to use all the time. Same with the Mountebank.
The mystic class seems closer to the BECMI/RC version than it does to the monk. Which is fine by me really.
The last class is a savant, another one I recall reading about back in the day. This one is more of your occult investigator/sage with some magic type.
So far as a "class book" it is shaping up real nice. Lots of ones I'd like to try out and they fill niches that /could/ be filled by other classes, but they make it their own.
The next section is on Secondary Skills, which seems to refine the system in AD&D, but not quite a full blown skill system. Very much in the vein of "your class is what you do, but you have this extra thing" philosophy.
We end up the characters section with monthly expenses and starting ages.
The next section is on combat with an alternate combat system. Again I seem to recall talk of such a thing, but it is more vague in my memory that the classes.
The system is detailed and should appeal to anyone that like more flavor to their AD&D combat.
We get a page on Social Encounters.
Next is an expanded Treasure listing and a section on ships and waterborne adventures. Something I could have used at the close of my AF&F 1st ed games to be honest.
The next 25 pages are dedicated to magic including a number of new spells for the new spell casting classes.
The Game Master's section is next, though it is not specifically called that.
New dungeon hazards are covered and then we get to magic item descriptions.
We end with some new monsters which include various Angels, Demons and some dragons.
All in all this is a good addition to the AD&D/OSRIC/LL-Advanced game. Even if you don't use everything here there is enough to make it worth your while.

This seven page document details the Wanderer class. It's like a non-magical (and less combative) Ranger. It has some nice skills and powers and would work well in any game. What struck me is how quickly I was thinking of NPCs to fill this class and sending him in with my current Old School game. Lots and lots of potential with this one. Also unlike the other classes with have some archetypes I can relate to earlier editions, this one seems fairly unique to me.

This is one of the newer classes. Five pages, 1 for cover and 2 for the OGL, this is for wood or Sylvan elves. Like the normal elf, this one is part fighter and part spellcaster. But in this case the spell caster is Druid. To support this the package includes a 13 page document of spells. Actually it is really nice. To date this is one of my favorite of the BRG classes. It takes a very simple idea and gives you a simple (as in elegant) solution.

Ascariasis is infection with the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.
People get ascariasis by consuming food or drink contaminated with roundworm eggs. Ascariasis is the most common intestinal worm infection. It is related to poor personal hygiene and poor sanitation. Persons who live in places where human feces are used as fertilizer are also at risk of this disease.
Once consumed, the eggs hatch and release immature roundworms called larvae within the small intestine. Within a few days, the larvae then move through the bloodstream to the lungs. They travel up through the large airways of the lungs, and are swallowed back into the stomach and reach the small intestine.
As the larvae move through the lungs they may cause an uncommon form of pneumonia called eosinophilic pneumonia. Once they are back in the small intestine, the larvae mature into adult roundworms. Adult worms live in the small intestine where they lay eggs that are present in feces. They can live 10 – 24 months.
It is estimated that 1 billion people are infected worldwide. Ascariasis occurs in people of all ages, though children are affected more severely than adults.
Most of the time, there are no symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may include:
The infected person may show signs of malnutrition. Tests to diagnose this condition include:
Treatment includes medicines that paralyze or kill intestinal parasitic worms, such as albendazole or mebendazole. These medicines should not be used for pregnant patients. Pyrantel pamoate is the preferred medication for pregnant patients.
If there is a blockage of the intestine caused by a large number of worms, endoscopy may be used to remove the worms. In rare cases, surgery is needed.
Patients should be checked again in 3 months. This involves examining the stools to check for worm eggs. If eggs are present, treatment should be given again.
Most people recover from symptoms of the infection, even without treatment. But they may continue to carry the worms in their body.
Complications can be caused by adult worms that move to certain organs such as the bile duct, pancreas, or appendix. If the worms multiply, they can block the intestine.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of ascariasis, particularly if you have traveled to a high-risk area. Also call if symptoms get worse, do not improve with treatment, or if new symptoms occur.
Improved sanitation and hygiene in developing countries will reduce the risk in those areas. In areas where this disorder is common, routine or preventive (prophylactic) treatment with deworming medications may be advised.

Library Campaign
Where information becomes knowledge and where knowledge becomes wisdom.
Saint Xavier University's Robert and Mary Rita Murphy Stump Library is undergoing its first major renovation in almost 50 years!
The end result will be an efficient, modernized learning environment, more than 50
percent larger than the present Library. Its technologically rich spaces will promote
individual and group study in a dynamic atmosphere that will make the Library the
academic heart of the campus.
The revitalized Library will:
- serve as a beacon of academic quality
- give every student, faculty member and staff member a rich new locus for dynamic learning experiences
- accommodate continued growth in student enrollment
- provide a place where faculty can share ideas, resources and scholarly endeavors
- serve as an important regional resource through its collection, archives, exhibits and lectures
How Can You Help?
The Library transformation is vital to the continued success of Saint Xavier University. We invite you to join us in this extraordinary opportunity to make an investment that will have a lasting impact on Saint Xavier for generations to come.
For More Information
For more information about the Library transformation, please contact Steven Murphy at 773-298-3310 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Haven't had much to blog about.
Not that I've been sitting around, bored.
or stories of wiping up the water my 3-year-old spilled all over the gingerbread house we put together the night before.
But I'm totally in the mood to make stuff.
So last night, I did. And I thought I'd share.
I was wanting a more updated Christmas throw pillow.
This one was fun and quick.
(I'll share how later this week.)
It was so fun and quick, I'm going to make a few more for gifts.

News flash! Bradley Cooper can act. In the new film, "Silver Linings Playbook," written and directed by David O. Russell, Cooper holds his own with a hefty ensemble of award-winning actors. Cooper even manages to shine in their company.
Cooper plays Pat, a former history teacher who has just been released from a mental institution after having spent eight months there for beating up his wife's lover. Forced to move in with his parents because of a restraining order, he's fixated on a reconciliation. Via therapy and anti-depressants, Pat has become a firm believer in silver linings.
Best friend Ronnie (John Ortiz) knows better (as does everyone else in Pat's life) and tries hooking him up with his wife's recently widowed sister, Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence). It's a toss-up as to which of them is the most unstable. Sanity seems to have slipped through the cracks for Pat and Tiffany, but their fractured histories serve as the perfect catalyst for weird bonding.
Some romantic comedies are too cute (or raunchy) for their own good. The gifted Russell has elevated the genre to a new level in this irresistible, offbeat and trippy triumph. The writing is intimate and witty. His precision at dissecting the dysfunctional family is unparalleled, as evident in "The Fighter" (for which he received an Oscar nomination) and "Flirting with Disaster" (1996).
The casting in "Silver Linings Playbook" is magnificently meticulous. Oscar nominated Jacki Weaver ("Animal Kingdom") is anxiously sweet as the mother who loves Pat unconditionally, while trying to appease her OCD Philadelphia-Eagles-fan-husband played by Robert DeNiro. DeNiro is hilariously heartbreaking as the fanatic who's been banned from the stadium for fighting. Could be Oscar No. 3 for Bobby.
Audiences who caught Lawrence's Oscar-nominated work in "Winter's Bone" won't be surprised by the depth of talent she exudes in this film, but they will be amazed. She possesses that rare gift of being a great actor at an early age whose future is all but guaranteed to soar.
But it's Cooper who pulls the rug out from under moviegoers who expect to see the guy from "The Hangover." His performance as the bi-polar, desperate Pat is as good as it gets. Who would have thought People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" and gossip magnet would have such a brilliant silver lining?

Country Club Plaza
Ward Parkway and JC Nichols Parkway
Kansas City, MO
Submitted by: Eric Youngberg
The Nation's first shopping center designed in 1922 and built by J.C. Nichols.
Why It Works
Pedestrian oriented shopping district made up of 1920's Spanish style architecture with towers, domes, iron and brick details, and public plazas filled with fountains and sculptures. It attracts 300,000 people for the lighting of the plaza Christmas lights (since 1925) on Thanksgiving Eve each year and holds an Easter parade and other public events.
What Makes Country Club Plaza a Great Place?
Historic residential buildings are interwoven into the commercial so that it is an active and alive place. It attracts people from all walks of life. Parking is hidden under and behind buildings. The scale is definitely pedestrian. Details are exquisite! Brush Creek meanders through the Plaza with walkways on each side, with pedestrian bridges over it and tour boats along it. Transit serves the plaza, as well as the city's most prestigious boulevard, Ward Parkway (also designed and developed by JC Nichols).
Architecture, fountains, sculpture and people create Kansas City's premier urban space. People feel safe and refreshed here.
Pedestrians use sidewalks extensively. Sidewalk cafes, coffee houses, live music on various corners, plazas, and people from all walks of life abound. The adjacent Mill Creek Park along JC Nichols Parkway has become "the place" to jog, exercise, walk your dog or sun. The JC Nichols fountain is the city's "speaker's corner" with numerous political rallies and demonstrations.
The Plaza has become a tourist attraction as well as a gathering place where Kansas City residents take friends from out of town, etc. People, from homeless, art punks to Armani and Saks customers, to the city's "elite", interact here. It is the place Kansas Citians love to show off, to gather and to live, work, shop and dine.
History & Background
Historic residential buildings on the Plaza are currently threatened with demolition due to intense development pressure. No preservation controls exist on the Country Club Plaza. The Park Lane apartments (built in 1925 by JC Nichols and designed by the George Post Firm, who designed the Wisconsin State Capitol and the New York Stock Exchange) are currently threatened with demolition and all residents have been evicted.

I really like the no left turn at Dartmouth & Washington Center between 4-6pm. But, I don't think it's really being enforced. Several times, I have been stopped at the light behind someone that is just sitting at the light waiting to turn. Also, I've seen a few cars that will go just past the turn, and then indicate a turn into a house, which is still blocking traffic. Then, when it is clear, they either do a U-turn or pull into the house driveway and back out again to turn right at Dartmouth.
Too bad there isn't a way to put up a median up during those times. Thank you for your time.

Here are a few other simple Fat Quarter projects. These projects are perfect for beginning sewers and once again, would be good summer sewing projects with kids too.
Winner: Karrie SmithJune 25, 2013 at 8:47 PM
I am an advisor for a sorority and lots of the girls want to learn how to sew so i'm always looking for simple projects they can do. And those fabrics are cute too! Thanks for the chance to win - i'm really enjoying your blog and so glad i switched to bloglovin and found you as a "featured" or popular blog for diy/crafts/sewing.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! I just wanted to drop a note on this post to let you know that I came across this tutorial, whipped up one of these bags, and loved them so much that I decided to make 55 of them for The Stash Bash goodie bags! What a great tutorial. Thanks :-) I miss you and hope you are well. Thank goodness for social media.
ReplyDeleteI think you recently published a tutorial on a tote bag that used linen and had inset strips made from pre cut strips. Now can't seem to find it....can you publish reference?? or the name of tutorial?? Thanks AMY!!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Make way for the Social Media Marketing Summit Europe
It's only three more sleeps until the Social Media Summit Europe graces London early next week. Organised by Useful Social Media is a global brand focused event where attendees able to learn how to best use social media with presentations all by brands with no agencies speaking.
Hosted at Regents Park Marriott London, the two-day summit from 25-26 June 2012 has two fantastic tracks, business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) with the who's who of brands.
With real-life case studies and examples, it's a great platform to learn from some of the world's most established and well-known brands, no doubt who will share on the success and challenges they experience. It's an opportunity for any business regardless of size or stature to learn more how global brands are navigating the social media marketing world as they seek to make more sense of what may be applied to their own activity, campaigns and/or business. Brand only events are a rarity (particularly over two days) so it's a good opportunity for agencies and other brands to be exposed to a conference of this nature.
The B2B tracks will see senior brand-side representatives from brands including Avaya, 3M, BAE Systems, Barclaycard, BT, CME Group, Dell, General Electric Healthcare, GSK, IBM, Intuit, Philips, Psion, SAP, Siemens and Standard Life. For the full track, guest speakers, the agenda and to download the brochure visit the B2B Corporate Social Media Summit site.
There will be over 20 brand-side senior representatives covering the B2C track from organisations including BBC Worldwide, Betfair, BFI, Expedia, Heineken, Honda, JustEat, KLM, Nissan, Nokia, O2, Orange, Sainsbury's, TomTom, Unilever and more. For the full guest speakers, the agenda and to download the brochure visit the Social Media B2C Marketing Europe Summit site.
The only dilemma attendees (for both agency and brands) may have is choosing from the amount of great talks available across the two days.
If you wanted to snap up one of few tickets left, there is still time from Useful Social Media.
Follow the Social Media Summit Europe pre, during and post and Twitter event from @usefulsocial and hash tags for B2B #CSMB2B and B2C #CSMB2C.

5 improve after burn inshoulderoforion | 22/02/2010 | See all shoulderoforion's reviews (1)When I first plugged these in I was impressed but not knocked out,stereo seperation was brilliant, treble informative,bass a tad slow, however after about 7 hours of continuous rock music the bass tightened and deepened and became faster (thunderous in places!) the treble sweetened up even more and I started noticing things in tracks I hadn't noticed before (a very good sign I think you will agree) I have owned many pairs of headphones these are up with the best and are exhilarating to listen to.Give them a day or two to really sing
4 good sound, flimsy frameshezomb | 27/10/2009 | See all shezomb's reviews (1)I've had my koss for longer then I can remember, and I got them with a lifetime warranty, which has allowed me to get a whole new pair twice and a bunch of new pads. They're brilliant for portability, and the sound quality is really good.A few bad points I can think of is that they're not too comfortable, they leak sound alot (people around you can hear clearly what you're listening to) and the sockets that the speaker bits clip into on the frame wear out quite easily, so I cant use the frame anymore.I recently discovered a new use for them though; they fit perfectly into my Arai helmet, so I get some good sound from satnav and mp3 player inside my helmet
3 80s reference.huguesk | 10/10/2008 | See all huguesk's reviews (1)These headphones are a testimony that not all things from the 80s are dead. They pump out very good, crispy clear music, they are very comfortable with a unique system that takes the pressure off your temple. The style will not be to everybody's liking for myself i don't worry too much about what others may say.Now the negative. They is a big amount of sound leakage if you use them on the street or on the bus you will be sharing your music with everyone around you. I used them with the 1st generation ipod touch and they don't work well one needs to increase the sound to roughly 90% to really hear it and the outside noise intrusion does not help. I think you need a source with a powerful output. I think that they are more suitable for indoor use, i am moving to the skullcandy hush but will still use the porta pro on my laptop.
5 Simply unbelievablevastweb | 05/12/2009 | See all vastweb's reviews (1)These are the best headphones i've ever own and will own. In terms of sound quality they beat 60pound pairs by far. There is no comparison whatsoever between these and the sennheiser PX100s/200s. I've owned all three and the kosses destroy any other headphones i've had. The quality of the sound, depth and clarity of the bass cannot be overstated. I would urge you to buy two pairs as I have done. Believe me, NOTHING compares to these they are simply phenomenal. I'd pay 50 pounds for these at least. For 17 pounds you'd be blind not to buy at least one pair. Cannot describe their awesomeness, superior to all headphones under 100 pounds, and i've tested a lot! BUY NOW you will not regret it!
