Unless precautions are taken, taking antibiotcs can cause a number of infections, including oral thrush. Thrush is a form of fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Wide-spectrum antibiotics kill most of the bacteria in the body, including the beneficial bacteria that keep Candida albicans under control.
According to Michigan State University, thrush is a serious concern in those with compromised immune systems from diseases such as HIV, cancer or lupus. Often, these patients are given antifungals in addition to antibiotics. In normal patients, eating yogurt with live cultures or taking probiotics during a course of antibiotics can help prevent thrush or other yeast infections.
Antibiotics are medications used to treat bacterial infections. They work by killing all bacteria—both good and bad—throughout the body, which can result in lowered immunity

colors and design — everything from beige to maroon, and wild
prints, stripes, and solids. Uniform-looking they were

All of this is geared to getting personal account information and scamming money.
Scammers called some Entergy and other utility customers to say that their electric bill payments were past due, and that their service would be disconnected within the hour if they didn't pay up. The customers were then directed to transfer funds electronically, sometimes through the system known as "MoneyPak."
Other variations on this scam have since continued. Recently, scammers have called customers saying that their last Entergy payment did not go through and was being returned, and the customers must purchase several "Green Dot Cards" to make immediate payment.
The scammers are targeting not only residential customers, but also business customers, so Entergy encourages everyone to be wary and heed these reminders so you don't fall victim to the continuing scams.
· While the company does place courtesy calls if you are at risk for disconnection, these are recorded calls, and are not calls from live customer service representatives. Entergy NEVER demands immediate payment.
· While you may pay your Entergy bill by phone or credit card, it is ONLY through BillMatrix, a third-party vendor we use for this purpose.
· You shouldn't give your personal information to strangers. If a call sounds suspicious, call 1-800-ENTERGY (1-800-368-3749) to speak with an Entergy customer service representative.
Also, you can manage your Entergy account and review account alert options to stay better informed by downloading the free Entergy smart phone app or visiting entergy.com to register for myAccount.
You should only use authorized methods and legitimate banking information to pay your Entergy bill. We offer several convenient ways:
· Pay online – For no additional charge, you may securely log in to myAccount at entergy.com to conveniently pay your bill online.
· Pay by phone – You may pay your bill by credit card, debit card or electronic check by calling Entergy's pay-by-phone provider, BillMatrix, at 1-800-584-1241. BillMatrix charges a $2.95 service fee.
· Walk-in payment centers – Want to pay in person? You may pay your bill by cash, check or money order at an authorized Quick Payment Center in your community, or at one of the two Entergy Customer Care Centers in New Orleans. A convenience fee may apply.
· Bank draft – You can avoid late fees by having your Entergy payment automatically deducted from your checking account each month. Entergy will mail a monthly billing statement to you for your records, showing the bill amount and bank draft date.
· Pay by mail – You can send a check by U.S. Mail to the remittance address shown on your bill.
If you believe you're a victim of this scam, you should notify the proper authorities, such as the local police or the state attorney general's office. If you believe your Entergy account has been affected, call 1-800-ENTERGY (1-800-368-3749) to speak with an Entergy customer service representative.

Sarah Palin Pitching TV Show about Alaska
March 4, 2010 - 6:01 PMFox News Channel may not be Sarah Palin's only foray into television.
The former vice presidential candidate has been pitching an idea for a show about Alaska to network executives. She's teamed with Mark Burnett, one of television's busiest producers. Burnett is best known for his "Survivor" series on CBS.
Three broadcast executives, who spoke on condition of anonymity because their networks don't publicly discuss story pitches, said Thursday that Palin was meeting with officials at ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox this week. The meetings were first reported by Entertainment Weekly.
Palin started work earlier this year as an analyst at Fox News. The former Alaska governor also appeared telling jokes this week on NBC's "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.

A solid background for any cyberpunk or modern game, as well as being a good go-to for any tech-focused campaign. We hope you enjoy this one!
A nice color hue variant of a cityscape, should work out great for supers and modern campaigns!
Fantastic backdrop to any Werewolf game, Deadlands, and a ton of tothers that immediately come to mind. Can't wait to see this one in action!
A moody angel statue for all of those vampire or gothic settings out there, or even fore cleric-focused fantasy campaigns. Lots of uses here.
That's it for now, stay tuned throughout the month for even more as we'll be adding them on a regular basis. Have a request? Let us know!
Today we're joined by GM Haligaunt to talk to him about his Vampire: The Masquerade campaign, Concord of Ashes. These vampires don't sparkle folks! Read on for all of the awesome-ness!
First off, feel free to tell us about the person behind the GM screen. Where are you from? What do you do both aside from gaming? Wife and kids? Where can we stalk you on the internet, that sort of thing!
My name is Damien Edwards and I live in Sydney, Australia. I am a bartender by trade, and until recently a perennial student. I'm lucky enough to work in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge, and having the opportunity to work in one of the oldest suburbs in Australia is a constant delight. It has also sharpened my appreciation for Vampire, as observing Sydney's nightly ruck and run gives me some excellent ideas. I have an amazingly tolerant girlfriend who thinks nothing of me disappearing on nighttime adventures after work, and she also insists that I game regularly so I'm not "impossible to live with."
At the moment, the only place you can really stalk me online is right here on Obsidian Portal. I spend much of my spare time writing for the game, as I must have something like 100 unfinished wiki articles at the moment!
So, tell us about Concord of Ashes
The Concord of Ashes is a Dark Ages Vampire chronicle. Back in 2011 it began as my humble attempt to marry up the material presented in Transylvania by Night, Constantinople by Night and the Transylvania Chronicles but it has grown well beyond that vision. All of those are excellent books, by the way, but necessarily short on detail for obvious reasons. I always felt that it was a natural step to expand the core books to online media so that added depth and scope could be brought to the game. Many of the characters and factions touched upon in those books can be found heavily detailed on the Concord of Ashes wikis, but I'm not even close to being finished.
The chronicle is currently set at the beginning of April, 1204, less than a week before the 4th Crusade launches their final assault on the city of Constantinople.
The theme of the game has been surviving and embracing change. In the era of Cainite (vampire) history when the chronicle is set, the 4th Crusade's arrival at Constantinople signaled the end of the epoch known as the Long Night and the beginning of another known as the War of Princes. The Long Night was something of a Golden Age for vampires; their society was stable and unchanging, their dominion over mortal governance was solid, and everyone basically stayed put for centuries. The War of Princes rapidly escalates into a geopolitical morass of intrigue and war, where age alone is insufficient to guarantee survival and alliances can shift overnight. Ultimately, this conflict catalyzes the creation of the Inquisition, which then sparks off the Anarch Revolt, which then leads into the creation of the opposed societies of the Camarilla and the Sabbat of the modern game. I wanted to create a story where my players were not just witnesses to that tipping point, but actually had the ability to act as agents for good or ill as it all spirals out of control.
Ultimately, I would like to start leap-frogging through time after about 1240 CE, using each of the current PCs as the progenitors of a bloodline that would allow the players to keep on making younger and fresher characters for the stories ahead.
In the long run I am also hoping that there will be enough content, and enough interest, to have many vampire players contributing to it as a play by email platform.
What do you enjoy most about Vampire: The Masquerade?
I have enjoyed a vast number of other games in my 25+ of role-playing, particularly Dungeons and Dragons and both Star Wars d6 & d20. The World of Darkness has always tickled my fancy more than High Fantasy and Science Fiction, though, because it is just one step removed from the world we walk through each day and night. Without the giant leap into a radically different "game-world", the imagination of the troupe is freer to wander into more visceral and disturbing territory. By the way, it is deeply entertaining to wander through a city and visualize which buildings would make good havens, where supernatural people might congregate or hunt, and how they manipulate the rest of us. Is that arrogant guy in the suit at the end of the bar really drinking a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, or does this bar have a "special stock" for discerning patrons? Not a few of the characters in my cast of hundreds were created in the wee hours of the morning after meeting a noteworthy person at the pub!
Having said all that, Dark Ages Vampire (DAV) is somewhat different to Vampire: the Masquerade. With DAV I can indulge my passion for history and paint a tableau where vampires ran amok as true lords of the night; before they were brought down by the Inquisition and the Anarch Revolt. Although communication and travel were barriers, the clans arguably dominated the world more than they do in the modern nights. And to make it even more interesting, there were cases where they did so more or less openly. I find the idea of presenting that thin veil of monstrosity very compelling and enjoyable.
Speaking of vampires in general, and the overall radical-ness of your campaign – please provide your thoughts on sparkly vampires. I'm very curious.
Seriously. WTF?!?! I've never spent so much time in a movie hoping the "bad guys" would win. And no, I wasn't willing to read the books. Vampires work well as flawed and sympathetic people compelled by overwhelming urges to do despicable things. They even work as monsters of the week. They do not work, in my humble opinion of course, as sparkly super hero's.
How regularly do you play, and where do you play?
We are very much a traditional gaming group in most ways, meeting face to face and using dice and character sheets. With the reams of content that I have written, I reluctantly stopped using paper and moved over to a laptop last year, and one or two of my players have followed suit. We try to get a game in every week or at most once a fortnight, but time and work pressures often lead to hiatuses of up to a month. Even so, at such times we try to stay in touch regarding player actions and long-term plans. We even have a (somewhat dysfunctional) play-by-email forum set up. Even if we can't play, however, a few of us usually meet up for late-night beers every week or two where, as you might expect, we talk incessantly about the chronicle.
Who puts all of your wiki together?
For the most part, it is a one-man effort. I kidnapped some writing hack a few years ago and keep him chained to a computer in my garage. I pay him in scotch and hope for his trouble…
Actually, as I am constantly behind the ball trying to keep up with all the content updates, my players have usually been excellent regarding the story session summaries. I also have contributions from an old friend who moved to the United States many years ago. His short stories on the forum have kept me honest with my own output.
Where do you draw inspiration from when preparing your game? How much time do you usually take to prepare for a session?
Honestly? Documentaries and pseudo-historical dramas are great for getting me in the mood to write. It sounds cheesy, but anything from Covington Cross, Cadfael or Robin of Sherwood to more modern treatments such as Rome or even Game of Thrones. The point is to get in the habit of thinking in episodic terms; to strengthen one's intuition regarding what belongs in the next session and how to foreshadow what will come in later ones. I usually spend about 3 hours before each game jotting down what needs to happen that night, but I'll spend much of my spare time through the week examining the likely outcomes in broad strokes from each of the major antagonists point of view.
Aside from Vampire, I'm sure you have played other systems too, what are some others you enjoy?
I love playing Dungeons and Dragons. I ran a Greyhawk campaign over 8 years that followed the same characters through 7 years of game time. Indeed it continues to be a cause of some vexation that I didn't have Obsidian Portal to document the whole thing, although I have tried in fits and starts to have a go at it. Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance and yes, Ravenloft, were all frequent campaign worlds over the years and I do miss D&D immensely.
Star Wars d6 and d20 were great to play in for different reasons. The d6 system was a little unwieldy to learn but very flexible once you got the hang of it. The d20 was easy to learn but not terribly flexible at all. I learned a lot about making house rules when I was running Star Wars d20 and that directly correlates to doing so with Vampire's d10 system, which also needs a great deal of adjudication.
Shadowrun and Call of Cthulhu are both extraordinary games that I have enjoyed playing in the past. The insanity rules in the latter game are priceless! If only there were more hours in the day to run them too! And of course, though they are the same system, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension and Wraith the Oblivion all deserve an honorable mention as fantastic games. All of them inform the World of Darkness where the Concord of Ashes takes place, and the cross-fertilization between the lines allows me to drop hints and "Easter eggs" all over my game…
How do you know your players, how long have you been gaming with them?
A couple of my players are old friends from my Vampire the Masquerade game, which ran from 1997-2002. My play by email player is from the same vintage. The others are much more recent additions. We met through the excellent networking contacts provided by a group known as the Sydney Geektogether.
How long have you been using Obsidian Portal? What brought you to the site and what keeps bringing you back?
I started using Obsidian Portal back at the end of 2010. Initially, I wanted to try and consolidate my notes on my Greyhawk campaign after the game ended. It soon became apparent that that would be a Herculean task, so I set my mind to writing down notes for the Vampire game that had been percolating in the back of my mind since my Masquerade game finished.
So far as tools for my game, I've never encountered another medium that comes close to Obsidian Portal. I love that it gives me the ability to keep a permanent record of the game, and to showpiece what we have done for other lovers of the genre.
There's a lot of pretty great looking maps on your wiki, do they all get pretty equal use?
The Constantinople maps get the most use. A city that size needs a map to help the players visualize what is what and where it is. I have more maps I want to upload, but that has taken a back seat to other content for now.
Now that the Reforging has been live for a little while now, what are your favorite parts?
I am much better at writing content than presenting it in a savvy manner, as anyone who looks at the Concord of Ashes can attest! Speaking as a person who is poorly versed in creating a webpage, I confess that the Reforging has been daunting for me and I haven't exactly embraced it. Actually, other than a bit of mucking about with the Custom CSS and changing a few color schemes I haven't really explored much!
What would you say the single biggest highlight from Concord of Ashes has been so far?
My players might disagree with a groan, but the journey from Buda-Pest to Tihuta Pass was awesome. Anyone who has played the Transylvania Chronicles might recall it as a couple of scenes that could be plowed through in a session or two. We did in fifteen! I got to show my players (some of whom had almost no knowledge of the era) the difficulties of travel, many of the customs I had read about and the many reasons why vampires tended to stay put wherever they were Embraced. By the end of it, each of them knew the names of everyone else's retainers and even herd members, as well as their personality quirks and strengths. It was amazing to watch that take place.
Okay, before we get out of here, give us some of your best GM'ing pearls of wisdom.
Firstly, gaming is a collaboration. Don't alienate your players. Through their interactions with each other and NPCs they write the story almost as much as their GM. With that in mind, don't rush character creation.Talk it out with your players and be sure to use the family, allies and enemies that they create when they imagine their character's back story.
Secondly, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Find pictures for your NPCs and the memorable scenes that you want to create. Otherwise you risk losing your players to the cast of hundreds that you want to create.
Thirdly, rules should be called guidelines instead. Agree on general principles and establish the notion that if rules don't work, or work poorly, they are subject to change through discussion and consensus. "Rules lawyering" bogs games down, as does the need to constantly look up unwieldy and needlessly complicated passages. No one remembers that nonsense for a reason. The story is what matters, and a well-told scene is what people talk about long after the game is done. With that in mind, do what you have to to keep momentum going.
And lastly, don't give up! If a wiki article or a character is bothering you, set it down for a bit and do another, easier one. And don't let your players give up. All games hit rough patches and you will sometimes struggle to get a session in, or be forced to take a break. Keep the lines of communication open and keep people eager to contribute.
That's it for this month guys, keep all the awesome suggestions headed to my inbox, and we'll catch you all next month in the post-Gencon world!]]>
It's August and Gencon is just around the corner, the temperatures are rising and so is everyone's anticipation for the next edition of D&D. We've been covering a lot of news regarding 5e on the Haste Podcast and Jerry has been talking about it a lot on his blog.
Obviously, we're pretty excited ourselves and so we'd like to give everyone a chance at winning some awesome 5e schwag, whether you're going to gencon or not this year! What better goodies to give away than some 5e D&D Starter Sets, and maybe even a Player's Handbook! The contest is simple, but you've only got until the end of Gencon to enter, here's how:
In one line: Tell us the best way to beat the heat! Whether you're avoiding fireballs, surviving a red dragon's breath, or simply not shriveling up under the Dark Sun.
Some examples:
"I cast any remaining ice spells inside my house before I go to sleep and re-memorize everything, just so I have some A/C while I sleep"
"Huddle behind my my shield and hope all this 'dwarven craftsmanship' pays off when the dragon starts spewing fire"
"Stow my canteen of water in the last place anyone would look – inside the severed orc head that dangles from my belt."
How to enter:
On August 17th, at midnight, the contest will close. Afterward, 4 winners will be randomly chosen to win a D&D 5e Starter Set, and one additional hand-picked winner of our choice will receive a d20Monkey "Whining is Coming" T-shirt along with a D&D 5e Player's Handbook, and a Starter Set as well.
Note: Contest winners limited to US/Canada only due to shipping expenses, if you are overseas you are still welcome to enter, upon winning we can offer a year of free Ascendant subscription time.
Congrats to our Fool contest winner, we had to pick 4 instead of 3 because it was so hard to decide! Our winning NPCs are Roger Larrabee (telepath), Barkley (fey guardian), Craig the Battle Droid (butler artillery), and Terrence McGoven (awkward helicopter pilot).
Additionally, we've got a brand new d20Monkey Caption Contest up, also be sure to check out Brian's new "Whining Is Coming" edition war T-shirt design.
Lastly, if you consider yourself a D&D history junkie be sure to read Ambush At Sheridan Springs - a story about how Gary Gygax lost D&D.
Modular dry erase boards, great for numerous reasons, and pretty much far better than a roll up dry erase mat. However, they are expensive…it's up to you whether you're wanting to throw down the cash to pick some up, but their Kickstarter is live and still needs funding, check them out!
Another great article from Shawn Merwin over on Critical Hits is up, and this time he's talking about how Breaking D&D is bad, for D&D. It sounds redundant but it's a pretty simple idea. We need to stop breaking our games in efforts of min/maxing and cheating the system, it's just bad for the hobby. Controversial? Maybe, but we just think it's a great read.
A reddit tale of a Ragequitting C0C player has brought us to discuss all things rage-quitt-ey. Is it okay to ragequit? If so, when? In this particular instance, what could the DM and the Player have done differently to have avoided the situation? We may not know all of the facts, but we're here to speculate and discuss!
@Bartoneus asks: (Video) Game Design question: What is the point of having "magic" items require identification/decoding?
Tune in to find out!

More backgrounds are here! Each with a complimentary color scheme for you campaign so that you can just click and go. Let's discuss this week's batch!
Rusted Metal (Free)
This background is perfect for an Iron Kingdoms game, among many other metal and steam inspired worlds. The rust would also work well for apocalypse scenarios and forgotten space bases or underground labs.
Wilderness Bear (Premium)
Definitely a great background for a western or a survival style campaign, maybe someone is running The Great Outdoors as an RPG? Take this one and go wild! *cymbal clash*
City From Above (Premium)
This looks like Gotham to us, doesn't it to you? Great backdrop for a supers/batman campaign, modern, cyberpunk, you name it!
Sci-Fi Stealth (Premium)
Han Solo would be proud of this one, use it for all of your spaceport skullduggery and smuggler laden starships. Would also work well for quite a few other games and genres.
Be sure to keep checking in with us as we continue to build up an awesome library of images for everyone to use. Until next time, game excellently with one another!]]>
The summer heat is in full swing, and something is definitely going on in this blank comic strip by d20Monkey… it needs your words! We're going to go out on a limb and say there's going to be quite a few brokeback mountain jokes here, let's just try and keep them at least remotely tasteful, shall we? Speaking of tasteful, you should know that Brian Patterson of d20Monkey is trying to make comics a full-time gig you can help support him by checking out his Patreon page if you're interested in pitching in!
As always, whomever d20Monkey and ourselves decide had the funniest caption will be winning a free month of Ascendant time, their caption featured on d20Monkey.com at a later date, a T-shirt, and whatever other miscellaneous schwag we can stuff into a padded mailer!
(Note: First time commenters will see a delay between posting their comment and it actually showing up. Please give the moderator some time to approve you.)
Contest ends midnight (CST) on August 31st, and the winner will be contacted shortly after. Remember one caption per comment, and leave as many as you like! May the funniest gamer win!]]>
First off, feel free to tell us about the person(s) behind the GM screen. Where are you from? What do you do both aside from gaming? Wife and kids? Where can we stalk you on the internet, that sort of thing!
There are two people operating under the name TheShadows – a bit of an inside joke of ours, the name – each with their own individual account. Though we realize now that it's been a while since we've last used those…
I'm Maru15, though I commonly just go by Maru. It's a username shared between most of my online accounts and though you'll likely be able to find it in a few places around the interwebs – some of which I've probably forgotten about, even – I usually just hang around the places where we roleplay, lately. I'm a Pharmacy student from Portugal, and when not gaming, I enjoy reading, a lot of it, videogaming and to balance those, camping and hiking on occasion.
I'm loevelynn, commonly known as Lo. I'm from Canada, I studied English Literature, and I'm the other half of TheShadows. You can find me where we roleplay, and on Deviantart (http://loandbehold19.
deviantart.com/) where I post some of my character drawings. When I'm not roleplaying online or depicting various roleplay characters, I'm most often reading, writing, or just hanging out with my pet rabbit, Ash.
So…tell us about Winter Is Coming.
The whole thing actually started by complete accident when some of our players met each other by chance on a chatroom for a Game of Thrones browser game. It began with some silly, nonsensical roleplay and eventually developed into something much more serious, which none of us expected at the time but we're all thankful for.
We try to balance the court intrigue that the ASOIAF series is known for, having characters compete with and conspire against each other for positions of power for themselves and their Houses, with an overarching plot with a common foe who our players must unite against if they don't want the whole Seven Kingdoms to come crumbling down. Said common foe is at the moment en route to the Wall separating the realm from the Lands of Always Winter with a clever plot to destroy it – and possibly bring about an invasion of the nasty creatures lurking beyond. As fans of the series will no doubt be able to tell, we've branched away from canon, creating our own custom story in Westeros. We've recently had our one-year anniversary, something that none of us had seen coming in the very beginning, and we're excited for what the future may bring and all the possibilities we still have to play around with.
What do you enjoy most about BRP?
(It's actually text based roleplay. We only noticed the discrepancy after reading this question, and were actually quite surprised that neither one of us noticed that particular option in the settings. It's been corrected.) Though it may not be for everyone, we think that this particular style of RP, lacking complex systems of stats, die rolls and such mechanics – we use some simplified versions on occasion – makes it easier for newcomers to join in, especially those new to roleplaying in general, of which we've had quite a few of.
We try to give politics and intrigue a bigger spotlight than actual combat, and when you have two players pitted against each other in a battle of whispers, die can do very little to help. It's up to each person's secrecy, plotting skills and ability to make allies. Additionally, the fact that we use live chat to roleplay makes it considerably faster-paced than the kind done on forums, for example, which we find exciting. It's harder to think under pressure, such as when you're put on the spot for something treacherous your character has done or said and menacing guards are starting to unsheathe their weapons all around.
What do you enjoy most about Game of Thrones?
Oh, wow… We could go on for quite some time about this one. We could talk about how George R. R. Martin's willingness to kill fan-favourite main characters adds much appreciated suspense to the story, as we never truly know if the "hero" – though the accuracy of the term is arguable, since most characters can't be oversimplified as "good" or "evil" – will make it out of a difficult situation. We could talk about how the focus on politics and intrigue instead of flashy magic and gruesome creatures makes for a refreshing, subtler take on the fantasy genre. We could talk about how awesome dragons are. Really, there's a lot to talk about. It's a great show and some amazing books, and we certainly recommend both!
How regularly do you play, and where do you play? (If you play online, do you use any certain tools to accomplish your gaming such as Google hangouts, roll20, etc.)
We have daily sessions online, in a Chatzy room we linked to in our campaign page. It offers some basic roll die commands that are more than enough to satisfy our occasional need for some randomness and keeps a record of everything we write. Though we sometimes use a variety of other services for voice and even video chat, they're not used for the roleplay.
Who puts all of your wiki together?
Well, we expect players to create and maintain their character pages and anything related to those, like items or songs. As for the rest of the wiki, it's a team effort. One of us writes most of the entries and manages the general organization of the page while the other focuses more on image editing and regular maintenance.
We're both perfectionists. We like making sure everything's as great as it can be, and that includes occasionally going over our pages to correct grammar and spelling mistakes or formatting accidents that other players sometimes don't notice. These things have a way of piling up, and it's lengthy and not particularly exciting work, but we help each other out a lot, and things just wouldn't work as smoothly if we didn't.
Where do you draw inspiration from when preparing your game? How much time do you usually take to prepare for a session?
We draw inspiration from George R. R. Martin's books, of course, a number of other works of fiction, History – research is a fundamental part of our campaign, we like to make sure that everything is at the very least plausible – and each other.
Our usual daily sessions don't really require any time to prepare other than a few minutes to chat out of character, get in the mood and wait for more players to show up. Often, players will just take the initiative, interact with each other and make things happen on their own. However, it does usually take us some time to plan events related to the main plotline, and depending on their complexity, it can take as little as a couple of hours and as much as a few days.
Aside from BRP I'm sure you have played other systems too, what are some others you enjoy?
It's funny, because actually, we haven't. Considering the circumstances of its creation, most of the participants, and that includes both of us, lacked any RP experience at all.
We've since acquired it, though, and newcomers to our community vary from complete newbies like we were to seasoned roleplayers – we get a good mix of both and try to be welcoming to everyone regardless of how familiar they are with the activity. This campaign did a great job of getting us into RP though, and we've both discussed other styles we'd like to try out eventually, like D&D.
Do you and your players all watch the show? How many of you have read the books?
The vast majority of our players watch the show, and most of those who don't have at least read the books. As for the two of us, one only watches the show and the other has only read the books. We've had some people who had done neither, and therefore had no knowledge of the ASOIAF series whatsoever, but, understandably, a lot didn't stick around. Some showed remarkable perseverance, though! (And memorized the ASOIAF wiki.)
How do you know your players, how long have you been gaming with them?
With a few rare exceptions who are friends or even relatives in real life, we've all met each other online. People have come and gone during the course of the roleplay, but a few of the initial ones, we've known for a little over a year now, ever since the beginning. Most have been around for months. We've grown close, and we're proud to say that there are people in the community that we can safely call friends.
I really like the Rule section of your Wiki, have you ever had players get particularly upset about any of them?
Not exactly, no. Every rule in that section has been created in response to situations we've experienced in the course of our campaign. Most of them will undoubtedly look ridiculously basic to veteran roleplayers, but they were essential at the time they were created and they continue to be so, given that we regularly take in inexperienced newcomers. It's a constant process, and we still have updates to that page as more rules are added or existing ones are tweaked.
Not every current player was around for the creation of each rule, but they were all written with the agreement of the group and we believe that in general, everyone understands the purposes behind them – which can be summed up to avoiding unfair situations, increasing everyone's enjoyment and helping us grow as roleplayers and even writers. While we do sometimes have a few conflicts over transgressions of those rules, those are more due to the players not thinking that they are in violation of them rather than disagreeing with their existence.
How long have you been using Obsidian Portal? What brought you to the site and what keeps bringing you back?
As our roleplay grew, accumulating history and characters, we started struggling to keep up with it all, and every time someone new wished to join, one of our players would have to interrupt his session for a long exposition.
Obsidian Portal was suggested by one of our members when he noticed these problems. It provided a reliable, appealing method of keeping a record of our endeavors in Westeros and allowed new players to explore our story freely, at their own pace and without disrupting the roleplay going on. Our community took to it quite quickly. It has since become an important part of our campaign and everyone has the link to it ready to be dispensed whenever someone expresses interest in joining us. It's really made things much easier for us, and well, I suppose that's why we keep coming back!
Now that the Reforging has been live for a little while now, what are your favorite parts?
It's a bit hard to remember Obsidian Portal prior to the Reforging at this point, to be honest, though we do recall that the addition of tags was a big improvement. We also got a lot of feedback from our players about how much easier linking to characters and other pages was, and it helped us quite a lot in our endeavor to have our wiki properly interconnected, ensuring that others could do it themselves without much trouble.
Overall, while there are still some bugs to flesh out, we're really happy with the update and how Obsidian Portal works, as well as excited to find out what the future will bring!
What would you say the single biggest highlight from Winter Is Coming has been so far?
In our roleplay, it's not unusual for characters to be off in their little groups, each with their own problems and concerns, as life in King's Landing goes on (somewhat) uneventfully between events of the overarching plot.
Our biggest highlight would have to be a moment that brought all characters together, friends and foes alike, against a common enemy bent on everyone's destruction: the invasion of the city by several mercenary companies from across the Narrow Sea and even some Westerosi traitors, all united under the flag of the main villain. Not only was that probably our most successful event, consisting of extremely long, uninterrupted sessions over two days and counting with the participation of a very large number of players, it also provided us with something to look forward to for a few weeks, eliciting extensive preparations for the incoming attack by the people of King's Landing and giving birth to some very interesting pre-battle situations and great character development.
Okay, before we get out of here, give us some of your best GM'ing pearls of wisdom.
At the end of the day, this is simply a game, we're all playing it to have fun and that should be what matters most. If you're not having fun, there's something wrong, and if there's something wrong, don't just expect it to get better by itself, do something about it! Players need to communicate with their GMs, and vice-versa. No problem can be solved by simply bottling up your feelings and waiting to blow up.

As if there weren't enough things to get excited about with all of the new D&D stuff buzzing around, they had to go and make a comic about Minsc and his miniature giant space hamster. Micah and I discuss things assuming everyone knows who this character is, what makes a good Baldur's Gate comic, and more.
Richard Rouillard via Facebook asks: Players whose characters are very two-dimensional. No solid background or back story that could enhance their roleplaying. Is it the DM's job to assign background, personality, etc?

Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings all get sub-races with added bonuses, why don't humans? We discuss some of Keith Baker's thoughts on subraces and subraces as a whole in RPGS, are they just vehicles for mechanical combos? Do you use them in your games?
An awesome analyzation of Dungeon World by Shawn Merwin is up over on Critical Hits and we're really enjoying the article. Putting things into "D&D terms" really clicks with a lot of us. We discuss DW based on Shawn's article and it really sounds like we need to get on playing some DW!

In a most unfortunate trip to Reddit, we came across a user who is having an issue with his players and their fear of having a girl introduced to their gaming group. In true internet fashion, not much good advice is given so we decided to take some of it upon ourselves. How would you guys handle this?

Learn To Be StrongThis is normally the time when the tears come
When the words hurt and the bruises sting
But little did they know you have grown inside
Now you are immune to their bullying
The chances are that they may have suffered too
But this is no reason to be so vile
Now you're twelve angry men finding them guilty
Of stealing your taut, tremulous smile
This is normally the time when you tremble
Huddle yourself up into a ball
But the only spherical shape they'll be seeing
Is the flail as it maims and appals
The chances are that you will shatter their skull
And with that become as bad as them
Where were their morals when you were the victim?
You just want good old fashioned revenge
This is normally the time you're rendered silent
But today you've at last found your voice
Now both weapon and word are lay beside you
You are no beast, you'll make the right choice
And the chances are that when they're confronted
The shamed predator will know they've done wrong
Can't Find JoyI stole the smiles from both of my parent's faces
The very same one I was responsible for
On the day I was delivered into their arms
In a cloth, from the beak of a black feathered stork
From the very first day with my very first breath
Though I was not able to speak a single word
It was evident as the nurses bowed their heads
That this boy with the dilated pupils was cursed
Everything I've ever grown to love and desire
In one way or another I have now destroyed
Yet still I have the temerity to question
Why it is that I can never seem to find joy
I stole the smiles from both of my parent's faces
I would do anything at all to give them back
But some wicked actions can never be undone
And some statements I have made I cannot retract
Regardless of the depths that I sank or swam to
Whether I was responsible for what was wrong
My lugubrious mood could always be soothed
With memories of the black feathered stork's bird song
Every page my trembling hand has ever turned
Suicide Is Not An OptionI find myself weaving the final stitches
Of a noose I have been working on for a while
I swore I'd use it by the time it was complete
If me and my sanity hadn't reconciled
Each thread representing a flawed emotion
Which tightly woven together makes up my life
If you're the one to cut me down from the rafters
Love, patience and understanding must be your knife
I find myself with a gun in my right hand
With only one bullet left in the cold chamber
I hand the loaded pistol with safety off
Blindly in to the hands of a complete stranger
Does this represent me opening my heart
And risking a life of abject, dismal sorrow
This God given gift of love is worth the risk
And cupid's bullets can pierce deeper than arrows
I find myself perched on the edge of a cliff
And at this point in time I am feeling unsure
If the wind that's blowing me towards the verge
Is real or in fact just another metaphor
That is representing all of the worries
Which try to push me to the seas
An Ode To A SmileOf late there has been something missing
From my visage, my mien and my face
My adult self not able to regain
What it is my childhood has misplaced
The absence has become more apparent
And is there for the assemblage to see
But as it did not happen over night
The origin remains a mystery
Could it be the colour and the tone
Of my sallow skin pigmentation
From too many hours indoors alone
And within my imagination
Perhaps I should pierce my ear and nose
Rebel against a faceless system
Or indeed tattoo text upon my neck
Quoting some so-called ancient wisdom
I could iron out all of the creases
Nip and tuck on my pronounced cheek bones
But this would mean erasing my journey
So I might never find my way home
And none of these things in any case
Will ever change the person that I am
Or influence the mood of the others
Like a timely facial expression can
From limbic system to nerve and muscle
To the countenance conveyed on my face
So complex that even Mona Lisa's mood
Took over four year
Her Daily MasqueradeToday her parents ask how her day has been
By now the answer has been well rehearsed
She insists to them that everything is fine
But the reality is the reverse
In fact she's the antonym of the word 'fine'
Inadequate, unsatisfactory
This is due to her creatively cursed mind
Steeped in a world of such simplicity
Yesterday friends asked how she has been coping
Waiting for their turn to talk, do they care?
They just see a happy, contented princess
Not a pensive, vacant, glazed over stare
In fact she's the opposite of contented
Restless and at war with reality
Battling feelings of alienation
From unsupportive friends and family
Tomorrow strangers will ask her what is wrong
But in white lies she has become well versed
Knowing that the tar black pit of torrid truth
Will not dilute and only make things worse
She's living the antonym of the word 'truth'
But her lies are not designed to betray
Just to cover the cracks and to smother those
Who aren'
Tragic AuthorI'm looking forward to being a tragic author
I'll sit on a cloud with no silver lining
And become the male equivalent of a spinster
With words as my spouse and books as my offspring
At least then it is I who will control the outcome
For the lives of my heroes and heroines
And since I'll not be afforded a happy ending
The least I can do is to give one to them
The Lord said 'no' to my happily ever after
Perhaps to inspire my imagination
A hollowed out heart is an ideal home after all
For my mind's perpetual inspiration
I'm looking forward to being a tragic author
I'm such a devoted, hopeless romantic
Devoted in the sense I should have been committed
And hopeless as I took our love for granted
I dare you to keep the anguish and torment coming
As it will serve to inspire my greatest work
Assuming my heart pumps love more efficiently than pain
And my mind can refrain from going berserk
Now I sit in frustration with my parchment paper
The ink o
Target WeightI am afraid because I know
That I will never arrive
At a point where I am nourished
And emotionally satisfied
So to regulate my mood
I consume levels that disgrace
They suppose that this is greed
That assumption is misplaced
I'm addicted to the feeling
The short term stimulation
But that only makes me more prone
To those feelings of deflation
And stomach cramps and pains
Loose skin hanging from my bones
Eyes sinking into my skull
And those deathly grey skin tones
Will I ever fill the hole
Silence those voices for a while
I prepare my gut for sorrow
While I am spoon fed on denial
But life's too much to digest
An acid reflux episode
Regurgitate my memories
Before my stomach explodes
In a culture such as ours
The blame lays nowhere but my plate
I chose the fats, sugars and salts
The impossible target weight
Now I'm afraid because I know
The end has already arrived
In the form of this addiction
To a staple we need to survive
When I Was 13I am just a little boy in a grown man's shell
Who finds himself lost in a daydream
That my mind manifested one Monday morning
On the cusp of being aged thirteen
Sitting on a plastic chair in a stale classroom
Looking out of the rain lashed window
Thoughts turn to the length of my imagination
And indeed what distance it could go
I was snapped back to reality as always
With my tank topped teacher's booming cry
This was not the first, nor would it be the last time
I would find myself preoccupied
Classmates around me may live their life linear
Like most people who have gone before
But I can't see the point of a mind's vast landscape
If I am not going to explore
I am just a little boy in a grown man's shell
Who's become lost in a lonely life
For me reality had not been the ruler
But it most certainly had been rife
Sitting on a leather chair in a stale office
Looking out of the sun starved window
My imagination was plotting it's escape
Leaving no clues to where
Fear of LifePlease do not fear being beneath the Earth's soil
For that is where the seeds of flowers grow
Be patient and life will reveal its mysteries
But only when it is ready to do so
By all means take time to search for the truth
But beware, please do not become obsessed
As we only fear what we don't understand
And what we don't understand is but a test
A test of faith in whatever you believe
Now stand up for yourself and you cannot fail
If life is the hammer waiting to fall
Then you must refuse to be the nail
Please do not fear being above the Earth's soil
For that is where the flowers begin to bloom
Just open your heart as their petals do
And your life will be as sweet as their perfume
You could be the change in someone's journey
Showing them the path from incomplete to whole
Why not give someone the gift of your love
And watch as they gently unwrap your soul
Suddenly the truth will dawn upon you
To live life without fear and you cannot fail
If life is a sailboa
As Death ApproachedAs death approached, the girl just smiled.
"You've kept me waiting for quite a while."
He wonders "Shouldn't death you fear?"
"I've always thought that death was near."
The girl turned away to sink what she said.
"I have always felt I was already dead.
I float through this world without a care.
It's almost like I'm not really there.
So, no I'm not afraid of no longer being.
You can see that I'm already nothing."
Death just nodded. What she said was true.
"Regardless it is time for me to take you."
The girl stood up, all ready to go.
An afterlife she thought, wasn't likely to show.
Death did his duty, and took her away.
The girl finally had her awaited day.
It swallows you whole,
Exceeds your control.
Apprehends your soul,
Until it has taken its toll.
It's an overwhelming feeling.
That is made to be appealing
And you can't help revealing,
The doubts you are concealing.
It's an undefined dimple
And a well known jingle.
But only when you are single
Does it all seem so simple.
It is one of life's many gifts,
That empowers and uplifts
And can lead you adrift.
Should you miss your shift.
It is impossible to describe it.
It is impossible to fight it.
Because once it is ignited
And once you have tried it.
It will take your independence.
You will become used to its presence.
You will become addicted to its essence
And include it at the end of your every sentence.
It exists even in the hearts of its haters.
It is a taste even they will savour
And although its duration wavers.
There will never be a feeling that is greater.
It is...
Everything I have said and more.
I am merely repeating what you already know.
Tears o
AloneA dark feeling waves over me.
Right now it's all that I can see.
I look around, but no one's here.
Being alone is my deepest fear.
I try to get out and see what's around.
But not a single friend to be found.
They smile politely, but it's not real.
They don't understand how I feel.
If nothing else at least there's some away.
But when we talk there's nothing to say.
I try to speak, but nobody's there.
I just want someone to show that they care.
My old friendships just seem to die.
I wonder if I should even try.
When I do, I feel so much worse.
This empty feeling is such a curse.
Maybe I should just stop trying.
Maybe that can stop me from crying.
Little Red HousesLittle red house on the corner left to fade
Tire swing swaying above a sparkling blade
Silver gown, just for the hour
Starts out sweet then you taste the sour
A little girl's heart doesn't last for long
When a little girl gone right goes horribly wrong
One little fall means blood on the breeze
Little red house with a ghost to please.
Leave this WorldI will slit my wrists
to watch the blood fall to the floor
to end my life for good
and nobody cry a single tear
I will leave this world
pretend that I never existed
This life dont need me no more
I am better off gone from this world
I will slit my wrists
to ease the pain
I can't take the crying
I can't take this pain
There is no hope in this world
There is no reason to live
I will leave this world for good
Maybe someday I will be reborn
MirrorI look in the mirror,
and what do I see?
a disgusting reflection
staring back at me.
Perfection and beauty,
society's decree;
I'm simply not the person
whom I want to be.
Flawed and broken,
inside and out;
the truth is that I'm someone
the world can go on without.
No Longer a Little GirlDear imagination, can't you be the thing you were
Butterflies and daffodils and happiness so pure
Sunny skies and lullabies and dreams of what could be
Hidden worlds and wonderlands of things they couldn't see
Shining gowns and silver crowns for dancing with the prince
Twirling with excitement, though the others weren't convinced
Dear intimidation, did you find it to be true
All I ever needed was an overdose of you
Silly stares and laughter slowly flood a child's mind
Making me abandon every daydream I could find
Lost beneath the shadows of the sky so dark and dead
Far too weak to turn around, yet scared of things ahead
Dear destructive tendencies, I feel it's time to hear
You were all I had when nothing else seemed to be near
Everything so out of reach, too far for me to see
I decided I would choose the needle next to me
Slicing through my very skin to feel something once more
Weeping through the satisfaction I could not ignore
Dear imagination, can't you be the thing you were?
The BullyHello
I saw you today
yes I did
you looked even more pathetic than what you used to
as you cling to your boyfriend
showing him off like he is some kind of trophy
you have nothing better to brag about
other than the ''hunk'' you call your ''love'' your ''baby'' or any kind of foolish name you come up with
or so you think ,but you hide the fact that he only wants to fuck you
and then move on to the next one
your just another piece of meat to him
do you know that?
no you wouldn't
you're too naïve and small minded to look through all the sweet words he rubs over your raging hormones
I saw you today
I know you saw me too
do you remember it ?
do you remember all the times you fucked with me
do you remember each single letter of all the names you called me
want me to spell it out for you?
I can go on ,but we shouldn't get nasty now
I saw you today
you were wearing that smile
the same smile you took from your closet of skeletons
you wear so many of them
I know they a
i wore you like a bruise.all i remember is
the ridges of my knuckles
sinking slowly into
the valley of your cheek
underneath a regurgitated
slice of the moon.
you were always
fiddling with my holster
but i finally bucked up the courage,
cocked my elbow,
and pulled the trigger.
the night devours bloodshed
by covering up its tracks—
dousing our conversation
with an asteroid's kerosene
and leaving my metacarpals stained
with the indigo hue
of midnight.
i wore you like a bruise,
but quite frankly,
i was hoping for a scar.
BlackI always wear the colour black
As it reflects my inner mood
Black is the absence of colour
Now I feel the absence of you
Black is my inert, withered heart
Immobilised since you've been gone
A vacuous hole of nothing
Lifeless, vapid and monochrome
Black is the frayed material
Of the grim reaper's deathly cloak
So in the darkest evening sky
You would never see his approach
Black is the colour and the shade
Of the star speckled, moonlit sky
And the shadow which you once cast
In the early morning sunshine
Black is my weeping mascara
As down my face the tears will stream
From the little puddles of ink
My pupils nowhere to be seen
Black are those things I've gazed upon
With my sorrowful eyes shut tight
Even rainbows become polluted
Within the filth of my mind's eye
Black is how I'm feeling today
But should I not be feeling blue
Like my blood before you cut it red
Like your blood before I cut you
Black is t
The BeginningHe told them, of course. He told those idiots everything, the whole damn story, including the blunder he'd made, and its consequences. Looking back on it later, he realized he had probably been in shock the whole time. It made sense, anyone would have been.
Soph was about twenty years old, and he'd been that way for a couple of years already, ever since the Hoarde had started attacking humanity from the past. Every day that passed, they ate at another day in the past. It sickened him. Those creatures had absolutely no regard for proper time and causality protocols.
It didn't seem to affect anyone else that way, though.
The Hoarde was the result of a human creation, of course, like everything bad in the world, though no one else knew about them. Then again, no one else had undiluted access to the power of creation. Even he didn't know much about the Hoarde, only that they appeared through some tear in The Fabric of The World and started killing people off. They appeared at some point in

Can you make a pam balik without eggs in the batter? Today a seller told me there is no eggs in his batter, because I asked as my daughter has severe eggs allergy. Is it true?

- Read the FEEDBACK from participants after Night Hawk 2013
Night Hawk in Norway is a true orienteering experience. The history goes back to the 60's, and it was one of the biggest relays in the 70's, together with 10Mila and Jukola.
Everyone in Norway participated, and only the toughest Swedes has finished it. Back then the Finns only heard the rumors of it.
In August 2013 the relay returned; reimagined. SNO and Halden won it, making them the first legends of a new era.
8th - 9th August 2014 Night Hawk will be run by Women and Men, both young and old. Women run 3 night and 3 day legs. Men run 4 night and 4 day legs.
All the night legs starts on Friday 8th August 22:00, in one huge mass-start. The day legs are run as a normal relay with start on 9th August 12:00, based on the results from the night legs. Women can have 3 to 6 runners and men can have 4 to 8 runners on each team (because it is allowed to run both night and day).
Don't miss out!
