Friday Discussion: The Best Reads In RPGs?
And that leads us to the topic of today's Friday Discussion (a proud, time-honored tradition here at RPG Blog 2):
What RPG or RPG Product Is The Most Fun To Read? I'm talking about sitting down and reading through—which one is the most entertaining or interesting to you as far as pure reading goes, and why?
For me, reading the Rifts World Books and items like the Greyhawk Gazetteer appeal immensely because of their setting descriptions and background information. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.
Have a great weekend, and if you haven't done so already, why not treat yourself to one of our awesome thank-you discounts? Only 1 week left on many of these deals!

Can I put a vote in for 'none'?
Real books are better, although a gaming book is a lighter and quicker read for the most part. Good for the bathroom...

One of my favorite RPG reads was from the Gazetteer series they put out for D&D—Namely Gazetteer 1: The Grand Duchy of Karameikos. I mean, I loved the Greyhawk worldbook, with its descriptions of the various nations, but here we had an in-depth (and to me very interesting) look at a single realm, detailing all sorts of things, from geography, to politics to some great NPCs—all of which relate back to my earliest days of gaming (which no doubt is one of the reasons I love it so much). To me, this book set the standard for what a 'worldbook' should be. Enough information to be satisfying, but with enough room and starter ideas to expand upon with my own imagination. Long live Duke Stephan!

Okay, so I know that might be far afield, but "Yellow Clearance Blak Box Blues" by John M. Ford, for Paranoia just might be the funniest read in role-playing games. I'm not sure it would be as funny to play - but reading it is a side-splitter, definitely.

Unknown Armies is a blast to read, as are Ken Hite's Suppressed Transmission collections.

I love flipping open any of the Dark Heresy RPG books from Fantasy Flight—they're just full of great, evocative sci-fi elements.
- October 16, 2009 at 9:45 AM
- Jason Richards said...
I always enjoyed picking up and flipping through any of my WEG Star Wars books. I suppose it's just the source material that I love, so it makes diving in deeper a more satisfying experience.

I am with you Zach on the Rifts stuff although I have to say that i prefer the MERPs supplements. Some are awesome while others...not so much but on the average, excellent reading.
- October 16, 2009 at 10:21 AM

Threats from Beyond for the Alternity system Star*Drive setting. It's basically a book of news items and adventure ideas. Great stuff to add to any sci-fi space opera game.

Gygax's DM's Guide can be quite engrossing. 30 years later and I still come across things in there I hadn't noticed before.
- October 16, 2009 at 11:12 AM
- Matthew said...
Nobilis was a great read, actually. I never did play it- but I read it multiple times, just soaking in the crazy psychedelic animism of it all.
And Paranoia, of course, has always been a favorite for, well, leaving on the tank of the toilet. Fun to pick up and read. It's not only a game, it's a perfectly readable satire of every other role playing book. I'm most familiar with the Mongoose version/XP, which has made me laugh out loud even well after the first reading.
- October 16, 2009 at 12:01 PM
There was a game called "HOL" (for "Human Occupied Landfill"); a humorous science-fiction rpg in which the characters are trying to survive on a planet which is used as a refuse dump by the evil, uncaring galactic federation. Screamingly funny.

Anything by Privateer Press. Their Iron Kingdoms books are excellent reads. I've read all of them cover to cover. Their Warmachine books not only introduce new units and rules but delve into the "story thus far..." and advance it further. All of them are great reads.

i like Twilight 2000 2nd edition's rule book. the fluff is brilliant and it is just chock full of information.
i also like Bill Coffin's books for Palladium; namely the Land of the Damned books and Northern Hinterlands.
also, Erick Wujcik's After the Bomb series was always fun to just read through.
lately, i've been looking through ADnD 2nd edition Barbarian, Druid, and Ranger's handbooks. i've been using them for inspiration and ideas for a game/campaign i'm writing. for the most part, they are pretty neat, but the text is dry (even the fluff) and it just makes me remember why i never liked DnD. it leaves very little to the imagination

Delta Green and Delta Green: Countdown from Pagan Publishing for the Call of Cthulhu RPG are spectacular to read, and wonderful to use in play.
As others have said, WEG's Paranoia rulebook and modules are pure gold.
- October 16, 2009 at 12:29 PM

Paranoia is the top of my list for enjoyable RPG reads. The best stuff is from Costikyan and Ford.

I'm Gleichman: I have never read any ROG book cover to cover. I much prefer reading a novel.

The 1st edition DMG is one of those magical tomes that even now, so many years later I still find things in it I don't remember reading. But my favorite products to read were always the CityBooks put out by Flying Buffalo.
- October 16, 2009 at 1:00 PM
- kelvingreen said...
It's monster books for me. It doesn't really matter which one, as they're all pretty much the same (except the 4e Monster Manual), though if pressed on a favourite, it would probably be Out of the Pit. They have all the fun of reading an encyclopaedia (that's not just me, right?), but with the added bonus of being pieces about cool monsters, rather than boring old facts. ;)
- October 16, 2009 at 2:09 PM
- Talysman said...
I'm mostly with Gleichman and Kelvin. RPG books are usually pretty badly written, as far as entertainment value goes. Monster manuals or the equivalent are sometimes the exception, but even there only in excerpts.
The one honest-to-Grid exception: GURPS Goblins. It's an unusually funny and fun book. The old Teenagers From Outer Space game almost got this right, too.
- October 16, 2009 at 3:34 PM
- Questing GM said...
I find the Volo's guide series to be very enjoyable from a DM and reader standpoint.
It reveals so much details about a fictional world that it gets my mind brewing.
- October 16, 2009 at 5:25 PM
- Norman Harman said...
Rifts books, me also. I totally got into the whole ongoing Tolkeen/Coalition? war thing.
ICE MERP stuff. The books, but really the maps. Lordy those maps are awesome to pour over.
Ars Magica and Harn for the vague realism and totally different style/atmosphere.
I'll second the FB CityBooks.
Lately Fight On! magazine has been the best RPG reading ever. So much cool cramed in there. Not so good for reading through though as it keeps making jump up and work on my maps/dungeons/campaigns!
- October 16, 2009 at 8:23 PM
- Barking Alien said...
Castle Falkenstein by R. Talsorian Games. It is essentially a storybook with role playing game rules attached.
Also from R. Talsorian, Teenagers from Outer Space. Wacky, campy and super fun.
- October 16, 2009 at 11:15 PM
- Badelaire said...
I will second Delta Green. This really is one of the best-written RPG books I've ever read.
And although it isn't an RPG, the Warhammer 40K main rulebook and its codices are always a great read from a fluff/setting perspective.
- October 16, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- DNAphil said...
From this year...I would have to say that Bloodstained Stars, for Burning Empires was excellent to read. Burning Empires, itself was an excellent read.
For setting, I think the D&D Eberron books were very good, as well as the books for Corporation.
I was also a big fan of the Underground rule books.

AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide - the flowering of High Gygaxian prose. Yes, I realize that Gary's writing wasn't for everyone, but what other book was going to send the ten-year-old me to the dictionary to find the meaning of words like "squamous", "avaricious", "mutable" and "doxy"? The only possibilities that spring immediately to mind are H.P. Lovecraft, whose work wasn't really to my taste, or Jack Vance, a writer whom I discovered several years later, and then with the help of the DMG's valuable appendix N.

Certainly the Paranoia is one of the most funniest RPG books to read. But, there are several of titles created by White Wolf that also gives a good reading.
The clan and tribe books are just amazing...

Unknown Armies is indeed readable. Greg Stoltze is actually a really good writer.

Ali Khamenei
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Ayatollah Khamene'i)
Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (born 15 July 1939) has been the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1989.
- [There is only one possible solution to unrest in the Middle East], "namely the annihilation and destruction of the Zionist state."
- Iran's stance has always been clear on this ugly phenomenon (Israel). We have repeatedly said that this cancerous tumor of a state should be removed from the region… No one will allow a bunch of thugs, lechers and outcasts from London, America and Moscow to rule over the Palestinians.
- Today the world has far more potential than in the past to understand the message of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). The more human knowledge increases, the more likely it becomes that the message of Islam will gain ground. The more powerful people in different parts of the world use brutal tools in order to suppress human feelings and to bring them under their yoke, the more the ground will be prepared for identifying the light of Islam and the more thirsty human beings will become for Islam. Today we see the signs of this thirst for the message of Islam, which is the message of monotheism, the message of spirituality, the message of justice, the message of human dignity. Human beings are enthusiastic about the message of Islam.
- Furthermore, all the Western politicians, intellectuals and journalists are obliged to pay homage and bow to the monument that commemorates those allegedly killed in the Nazi concentration camps. In other words, all should acknowledge the veracity of something that has not been proven! This is also one of the propaganda means being applied by the Zionists to portray themselves as the victims of persecution!
- It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.
- There are documents showing close collaboration of the Zionists with the Nazi Germany, and exaggerated numbers relating to the Jewish holocaust were fabricated to solicit sympathy of the world public opinion, lay the ground for the occupation of Palestine and to justify the atrocities of the Zionists. There is even evidence on hand that a large number of non-Jewish hooligans and thugs of Eastern Europe were forced to migrate to Palestine as Jews. The purpose was to install in the heart of the Islamic world an anti-Islamic state under the guise of supporting the victims of racism and to create a rift between the East and the West of the Islamic world after 1400 years of unity between those two parts.
- The purchase of any item which helps strengthen Zionism is not permissible.
- The U.S. officials are now revealing their true nature. In his recent speech, the U.S. president spoke like a person who is thirsty for the blood of human beings! He threatened and leveled baseless accusations against other governments and nations. Considering the existing realities on the ground, most of the nations in the world have now come to the conclusion that the U.S. is really the Great Satan. This belief is also substantiated by concrete evidence.
- Our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) managed to restore our dignity and eliminate the long-standing hegemony of autocracy and colonialism by returning to Islam, by adhering to Islam. He managed to give our people a sense of identity and made them feel that they can stand on their own feet, that they can say "yes" or "no" in the case of essential matters. Our people had been deprived of such things for centuries. It was Islam that gave these things to our people. In any country in any part of the world where the waves of Islamic Awakening are strengthened or started and the people and youth of that country feel that they are moving closer to Islam, there will be this renewed sense of identity and dignity.
- The Americans are stuck in Iraq and have no way out. They are like a wolf whose tail has been caught in a trap.
- The Iraqi people will hate any government established in Iraq that will be recognized as appointed by the Americans, just as the Americans are hated. The Americans' coming to Iraq was a mistake. Their staying was a mistake. Their behavior with the population was a mistake... They must know that certainly, the Islamic world and chiefly the Shiite world will not stay silent in face of this.
- Western countries allow no freedom of expression, which they claim to advocate, with regard to the myth of the massacre of Jews known as the holocaust, and nobody in the West enjoys the freedom of expression to deny it or raise doubts about it. But affronting the sanctities of about 1.5 billion Muslims is permissible in the West.
- Our people say "Death to America," and this is like saying "I seek God's refuge from the accursed Satan," which is recited before any chapter of the Koran, even before "In the name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful." Why is this? So the believer will never forget, even for a moment, the presence of Satan. So he will never forget, even for a moment, that Satan is ready to attack him and to destroy his spiritual shield and is faith... The saying "Death to America" is for this purpose.
- Today, America poses a threat to peace and security in the world. Therefore, the slogan "Death to America" is no longer used only by our people. Today, you see throughout the world people setting fire to the effigy of the American president and chanting the slogan "Death to America." This is because of the American regime's exaggerated demands, its arrogance, its vanity, and its desire to control, and because it is a pawn in the hands of the Zionists."
- Should the Iranian nation beg for the right of exploitation of nuclear energy from the bullying world powers until they accept that the nation has a nuclear right?... No. This is not the way of a free and independent nation... Rights cannot be achieved by entreating. If you supplicate, withdraw and show flexibility, arrogant powers will make their threat more serious.
- Iran leader: Won't beg for nuke power June 2007
- Today, you are hated throughout the world. If you don't know this, you should. The peoples burn your flag. The Islamic peoples all over the world chant: "Death to America!"
- The European races are barbaric. They wear freshly pressed suits and ties, and they smell of eau de cologne, but deep down, they still have the same barbaric nature known from history. They kill with ease. They murder people without any problem. Therefore, beating women in their homes is of no consequence to the [Europeans] and Americans, whereas in an Islamic environment, it is unimaginable.
- Israel Is A Hideous Entity In the Middle East Which Will Undoubtedly Be Annihilated.
- From now on, in any place, if any nation or any group confronts the Zionist regime, we will endorse and we will help. We have no fear expressing this… The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor that must be removed, and God willing it will be.
- The great powers have dominated the destiny of the Islamic countries for years and… installed the Zionist cancerous tumor in the heart of the Islamic world… Many of the problems facing the Muslim world are due to the existence of the Zionist regime.
- Today in many western countries, nobody dares question the Holocaust whose nature is questionable. According to the reports I have received, in America if people decide to write something against homosexuality on the basis of psychological and sociological principles, they will be prevented from publishing their work. How is it that these people feel obligated to respect freedom of expression?
About Ali Khamenei[edit]
- Hizbullah chose to be loyal to the regime in Iran, to the rule of the Jurisprudent, Hizbullah made a religious choice – and it is free to make such a choice... It chose to consider Ali Khamenei in Iran as their source of emulation. They turn to him to ask what is permitted and what is forbidden.

We love Hanky Panky thongs for fitted clothing. Nary a panty line in sight!
Is there such a thing as a maternity camisole?

Each year the Helsinki city planning office and Ruukki hold a design competition for a new and innovative building made from steel. This year's design called for a mixed-use development that combines office, residential and hotel facilities in the Koivusaari area, the most western part of Helsinki. Arto Ollila proposed the winning concept, which rises like a mountain and encases all the programs within a glass and steel outer shell. The lower floors hold space for retail, commercial and office facilities, while the upper floors hold the hotel and residential units.
Situated in a dense urban area, Fokka is sited conveniently next to a stop for Helsinki's public transport system. Ollila designed a large indoor urban park that connects all of the programatic elements together under one roof. The glass shell is optimized to allow for natural daylighting without overheating the interior and integrated solar panels generate power for the project. With a focus on sustainable design, Fokka could become not only a recognizable landmark for the city, but also a model for future development.

Editor's note: Follow @cnntech and @kelly_heather on Twitter and CNNTech on Instagram for updates from the Consumer Electronics Show.
Las Vegas (CNN) -- When 150,000 industry execs, entrepreneurs, salespeople, celebrities, publicists, tech reporters and hangers-on gather here for the annual Consumer Electronics Show, it's a five-day carnival -- even by Las Vegas standards.
Glowing screens flash everywhere. Long lines greet attendees in conference rooms, at taxi stands and at Starbucks. Crowds of laptop-toting journalists fight over precious power outlets.
And through it all, the drumbeat of hype swells and falls as new products are anticipated and unveiled.
CES, the trade show that introduced the world to the VCR, the Xbox and the plasma TV, has lost some of its luster in recent years, but it's still one of the largest showcases for new gadgets and tech trends.
Photographer Zoran Milich is wandering the halls of CES to capture its colorful sights for CNN. We'll be updating this gallery with new images throughout the week.

Whether it's as starter or reliever, good guy Hector Santiago will do what White Sox ask
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com February 18, 2013 10:47PM
Chicago White Sox Vs Cleveland Indians. White Sox starting pitcher No. 53 Hector Santiago. I Scott Stewart~Sun-Times

Updated: March 20, 2013 6:29AM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Left-hander Hector Santiago's willingness and ability to fill many roles make him a valuable piece of the White Sox' pitching staff. His readiness to lend a helping hand off the field shows he's a pretty good guy, too.
Santiago flew to Chicago from Puerto Rico, where he was playing winter ball, in November to address minority high school players in the Sox' ACE program who were signing Division I scholarships. He also has visited cancer patients and participated in other charity events.
Santiago received some national attention in January, when he initiated a visit from his home in Newark, N.J., to Newtown, Conn., to meet with kids from a Catholic elementary school near where the Sandy Hook shootings took place. Many of the kids at the school know the families affected by the tragedy, and Santiago — recalling how he was shaken as a kid by 9/11 — wanted to do something.
''When we had our tragedy in New York, we were looking for somebody,'' Santiago said. ''I just wanted to talk to the kids and give them a good day. As they were coming up for autographs, it was all smiles the whole time. It was nice to see.''
Santiago, who grew up in a tight-knit family with four siblings and a hardworking father who spent many of his waking his hours playing baseball with his kids, was playing winter ball in Puerto Rico the day of the Sandy Hook shootings.
''I thought, 'There are families that will never see their kids again,' '' he said. ''If my brother [Sox farmhand Anthony Santiago] never walked into the house, I would
never be the same.
''When I talked to a few parents in Newtown, they started breaking down. I know my story about persevering through a lot of trials in minor-league baseball doesn't compare, but I just wanted to tell them to keep fighting to get over the hump.''
A 30th-round draft choice by the Sox in 2006, Santiago had limited success for four years in Class A. He took a step forward in 2011, was promoted to Class AA Birmingham and made an impression when he was called up to the Sox for two
In 2012, he was the surprise winner of the derby to be the Opening Day closer. He converted four of his six save opportunities before giving way to Addison Reed and eventually went back to Class AAA Charlotte to get stretched out as a starter. When he came back to the Sox, Santiago was 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in four starts.
''It was a crazy ride last year,'' Santiago said. ''It was a maturing stage, a learning experience of starting to slow down the game, learning to throw to all the big-league hitters. In the minor leagues, every lineup has, like, two good hitters. Here, you have to face every guy like he's the best guy in the lineup.''
This spring, Santiago is waiting in the wings to find out what his role will be. If left-hander John Danks isn't deemed to be 100 percent ready by Opening Day or left-hander Jose Quintana wavers, Santiago is the top candidate to step into the starting rotation.
''Whatever they ask me to do,'' Santiago said. ''Starting would be fun the whole year, but if they want me to start one day and be back in the bullpen two days later, I'll do that. I talked to [pitching coach Don Cooper], and he's like: 'You have to be ready for any role. You might start the season in the rotation, or you might be in the bullpen as a long guy. You're going to be a guy throwing a lot because we need you to be ready for a rotation spot.'
''I'm mentally prepared for every-
thing right now. With Danks and Quintana, be ready for that sixth-guy role.''

There is always a buzz before the start of the new season, but the excitement at Marussia is more upbeat than usual as both their drivers will make their debuts this weekend.
Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi have replaced Timo Glock and Charles Pic at the Banbury squad and naturally the duo can't contain their excitement ahead of the race at Albert Park in Melbourne.
"I can't wait for Australia and the start of my debut season," said Chilton. "The past few weeks of pre-season testing have flown by, but I've spent a lot of time in the car working on so many different things that I feel totally prepared for what lies ahead now.
"We gathered a lot of information with the MR02 in Jerez and Barcelona and at every stage it has been possible to see the benefit of all that learning and development.
"I hope to continue that in the opening races. I think we have a good car for Melbourne but it is vital that we keep pushing forward."
Bianchi only found out a few weeks ago that he would be on the 2013 F1 grid as he was only handed the Marussia seat after Luiz Razia was dumped as his sponsors were unable to come up with funds.
"So much has happened over the past couple of weeks that it's difficult to get my head around the fact that I am about to begin my Formula 1 racing career in Melbourne next weekend," Bianchi said.
"I guess excitement is the only emotion I've had time to experience, there has been so much to do and so many people to meet. Things happen for a reason and I feel confident that we are going to have a very positive season together.
"There is a nice and positive vibe about the team and good signs from the work that has been done with the MR02. In the short period of time that I was driving the car in Barcelona last week, I felt very comfortable based on my previous experiences with other F1 cars I have driven, so I'm excited to see what we can achieve in the first few races."
Team principal John Booth says spirits in the camp are high after a successful pre-season campaign.
"Although certain aspects of our winter were quite challenging, the overwhelming feeling we take into the Australian Grand Prix is great optimism," he said.
"In many ways we are in our best shape ever as a Team and everyone is thriving on that and looking forward to what we hope will be a positive 19-race journey ahead. Our new package has performed well in pre-season testing, with encouraging signs in terms of performance and reliability.

This fresh, eye-opening series - filmed on location where historical events actually happened and using brilliant, lifelike computer animation - applies the latest scholarship to reconsider common beliefs about our past. Reconstructions of ancient machines and hands-on demonstrations bring ancient times to life.
Set firmly at the intersection of religion, science and commerce, the latest episode of ANCIENT DISCOVERIES travels to Rome and Greece to explore the commissioning, fabrication and presentation of marvels meant to instill awe and draw hordes of deep-pocketed devotees. You will be amazed to learn how the greatest minds of the age were turned to the construction of what were little more than parlor tricks, albeit enormously sophisticated and impressive ones.
With so many gods to choose from and so many temples vying for the average worshiper's fidelity, Ancient Greece and Rome was a buyer's market for religions. Priests were desperate to demonstrate the supremacy of their particular god and his or her personal involvement in their temple. To that end, Wonders of the Ancient World were constructed, iron chariots were suspended in mid-air, and automatic soap dispensers were installed.
Delight in the extravagant efforts and technical wizardry of the ancient keepers of the faith as they struggled for an edge over the competition. Be amazed - and amused - by the awesome MACHINES OF THE GODS.

Sebatian Vettel topped the timesheets in Saturday's final practice in Austin which saw Lewis Hamilton take second and Fernando Alonso saved by a late charge.
Practice Three begun in much the same way the previous two had with drivers flying off the track at Turn 19 even whilst on their installation laps. Jean-Eric Vergne was the early pace-setter as Toro Rosso went straight into the action with Daniel Ricciardo taking second behind his team-mate.
Vergne was overhauled by Nico Rosberg who in turn was beaten by Michael Schumacher. The seven-time World Champ posted a 1:39.483 to hold the P1 slot after the first 15 minutes of action. However, only seven drivers had set times.
There were early woes for Sergio Perez and Charles Pic as the faster Sauber driver attempted to find the gap that wasn't there down the inside of Turn Seven. Instead he tagged Pic, pushing the Marussia around before spearing it in the side. A shake of the head from their mechanics as both cars are damaged.
Back at the front the big boys came out to play with Jenson Button sliding into second place, 0.3s short of Rosberg's P1 time. He continued lapping to take first, 0.2s up on the German's time. His team-mate Lewis Hamilton worked his way up the timesheets from tenth to sixth and then to fourth while Sebastian Vettel was 17th on his first effort. He went on to improve to 15th and then 11th.
Button meanwhile lowered the benchmark time to a 1:37.659 while Hamilton climbed to second behind his team-mate before taking first off him by 0.046s. Vettel found some pace and slotted into third behind the McLaren duo.
Vergne was the first casualty of the session as he broke his front suspension when he hit a kerb. He was forced to park his Toro Rosso out on track with both front tyres pointing inwards.
Fernando Alonso had a late start to his morning as the Spaniard only put in his first lap time with 20 minutes remaining. As such he caught the yellow flags from Vergne' stricken car and despite his efforts struggled to move into the top 10. In fact, Alonso was pushing so hard he had several off track moments, which also ruined what could have been a solid lap on the medium tyres.
The final few minutes saw all the drivers swap to the medium compound which take several laps to heat up. But once he had heat in the rubber, Vettel jumped into the lead with a 1:36.490 while Hamilton took second off Pastor Maldonado and the very late-improving Alonso.

We already had a Zend_Image proposal present. We reviewed that one last week, and decided that it did not show sufficient value over simply using GD or ImageMagick.

We're trying not to make ZF components that simply wrap existing PHP classes.

GD really isn't so hard to use that it requires a simpler interface.

Nov 28, 2006
<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Proposal not being considered</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

This proposal has been reviewed. The proposal describes functionality that is very similar to the existing PHP interfaces for ImageMagick or GD.

We are not considering this for inclusion in the Zend Framework at this time.
</ac:rich-text-body></ac:macro>
Mar 14, 2007

I really think it should be considered.

Bill, you state "We're trying not to make ZF components that simply wrap existing PHP classes.", yet we have a Zend_Json component. Contradicting yourself there. I think this proposal has it's place and while GD and ImageMagick both are easy, with this component users could do simple tasks easier and using less code on their end.

Mar 14, 2007

There's no contradiction. The Zend_Json component provides native (that is, in PHP) JSON encoding and decoding, so there is no need to add a PECL extension. This vastly simplifies the installation of open-source projects that rely on this functionality but do not want to depend on a particular PHP installation having that extension. This is also the same principle behind my Zend_Mime_Magic proposal. Unless this component proposes to resize and crop images natively (which would be extremely slow), it is just a wrapper.

Now, that's not to say that it doesn't have some value. I am writing something very similar to this simply to abstract over GD and ImageMagick's very different APIs (which I do not agree are particularly easy to use). Some things overlap directly, while other things (namely, filters) are applied very differently. Any class that provides an abstraction layer over both would have a difficult time covering all functionality. That's why mine only focuses on the most common use cases.

Apr 04, 2008

I think Zend should have Zend_Image component, but not like example presented above, more like phpThumb() - with native support for gif/bmp without GD or ImageMagic, cross domain hot link protection, permissions, and more... I think this could be very usefull! I use phpThumb now, but i dont't like its coding style, and not modern architecture (but I havent seen anything better)...

Think about it!

Sep 24, 2008

+1, phpThumb is a great library, should be ported to Zend Framework.

Aug 12, 2010

Great idea. All my projects have one view helper, but have some errors.
http://code.google.com/p/librerias-utiles/source/browse/trunk/librerias-utiles/app/default/views/helpers/Thumb.php

Here is the code. I think can help to develop this class.

Across the state, food bank workers see an increase in donations during the holiday season. And it's not only canned and non-perishable items filling up their shelves They're stocking up on fresh produce, as well. Farmers state wide are taking part in the holiday giving, supplying food banks with more than five million pounds of fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins. One local farmer is doing his part, making one of the largest donations from the Central New York area. Our Cara Thomas reports.
ROME, N.Y. -- It's a small farm, 106 acres, growing a variety of produce and grain. But at the end of each year, they always have extra to give.
A few years ago, Wagner Farms started donating their left over produce to the Mohawk Valley Community Action Food Drive.
Ronald Wagner said, "We said we'd donate a couple hundred pounds of potatoes that year. We actually wound up donating a lot more that year and things sort of grew from there."
Now they're donating to three different organizations: The Mohawk Valley Food Drive, Holy Family Church and the Food Bank of Central New York, supplying more than 32,000 pounds of food total. It's one of the largest donations given in the Central New York area.
Large donations likes these aren't always easy. A larger donation means fewer sales during the season. But Wagner says he'd rather give the food to people who need it than let it go to waste.
"To turn that back into a compost pile or to turn it back into the field, let it rot and not be able to use it, I produced it, I might as well let it go to good use. And someone deserves to enjoy it," said Wagner.
Some farmers can donate all year round, bBut the majority of produce is given to food banks between September and December when products like potatoes, squash and cabbage become available.
The Food Bank of Central New York received 1.6 million pounds of food from local farmers this year. They say these donations are not only great tasting, they support their health and nutrition initiative. Since most people have access to cheap and unhealthy processed foods, these donations help change that.
Peter Ricardo from the Food Bank of Central New York said, "What's expensive? Animal protein, fruits and vegetables. So it's key, it's very important and we appreciate the support we get."
Partnerships between farmers and food banks continue to grow each year. And both parties say they don't plan on severing those ties any time soon.
The Central New York Food Bank says while large donations from farms are very helpful, canned goods, non-perishable foods and monetary donations are always needed year round.
