Livigno, Italy
The fourth annual Nine Queens women's "progression session" concluded Sunday in Livigno, Italy. A freeski-only event in previous years, this time around snowboarders joined in on the week-long photo and video shoot and big air contest, held on a massive castle-themed feature.
The event was relocated to Livigno, which is the site of the similarly-themed Nine Knights men's event, due to a low snow year at the Austrian resort of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, where Nine Queens is usually held. The Nine Knights feature was modified slightly to accommodate both men and women.

Mammoth Mountain Ski Area on Wednesday announced winter air schedules and fares, including the new flight to and from San Francisco International.
The flights, to and from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose and Portland, begin Dec. 16, according to a news release Tuesday from Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
United Airlines will offer non-stop service from San Francisco International to Mammoth Yosemite Airport. Flights will be operated by United Express carrier SkyWest Airlines, using 66-seat CRJ700 regional jets. Flights start at $188 round-trip.
From Oct. 4 through Nov. 7, Lake Mary Road (3S10) will be temporarily closed to all access from the northern intersection with the Twin Lakes Loop Road (4S22) to the southern intersection with Twin Lakes Loop Road.
Access to the Lakes Basin will still be available by either Old Mammoth Road (4S19) or Twin Lakes Loop Road.
This portion of the Lake Mary Road will be closed for the construction of a bike and pedestrian underpass, part of the Lake Mary bike path development project.
It's going to be all about bears this evening at the Long Valley Regional Planning Advisory Committee meeting in Crowley Lake.
Mammoth's wildlife specialist, Steve Searles, will address the committee about halfway through the meeting, which also will feature a discussion about Crowley Lake entrance sign proposals and the Eastern Sierra Interagency Land Tenure Project – a presentation by Wendy Sugimura of the community development department.
Starting in early October members of the Mammoth Lakes Fire Department and Cal-Fire crews will be doing a large fuel reduction project in the Shady Rest parcel," Chief Brent Harper announced in a press release Tuesday.
This approximately 25 acre parcel is located in the general area south of Center Street and east of Manzanita Dr.
The results of the Lakes Basin Special Study are about to be unveiled in a series of three presentations over the next six weeks.
The first presentation, "State of the Lakes Basin," will be presented Thursday, Sept. 28 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Westin Monache Resort.
The second presentation, scheduled for Oct. 14 at the Westin from 5:30-8:30, is called "Lakes Basin recreation Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."
The third, scheduled for Oct. 28, also at the Westin from 5:30 – 8:30, is called "Lakes Basin Mobility and Transportation."
John Wentworth and the Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access Foundation on Wednesday engaged the Town Council with a bit of political jawboning.
Wentworth, the president/CEO of the foundation, said if the council would commit $100,000 to the MLTPA right away, the foundation would in turn trim its request of the same amount in its application for Measure R funding.
"We don't want to lose our momentum," implored Wentworth. "This has been four years in the making. It's critical we find the resources and staffing. We're going to need all hands on deck."
The relinquishing of the Beekley Collection by the Mammoth Lakes Foundation strips a vital layer away from Mammoth. The collection has enhanced the ski reputation of the town and ski area. It added considerable cachet to the International Ski History association annual meeting two years ago.
But it's losing its home in Edison Hall on the campus of Cerro Coso Community College.
Jorge "Coco" Galvan kicked a 42-yard field goal with 45 seconds to go Friday night, lifting the Mammoth Huskies to a 10-7 victory over the Calvary Murrieta Warriors at Gault/McClure Stadium.
Galvan's dramatic field goal – long by any standard - came just two minutes, three seconds after he shanked an easier attempt, pushing the ball to the right of the north goal posts.
His winning kick was made more improbable because the error-prone Husky offense on the previous play was pushed back five yards because of a procedure penalty.
Those power outages we've experienced in Mammoth lately?
There's a reason.
As Dug the Dog (from the movie "Up") might blurt out, "SQUIRREL!"
"You can imagine the problems we have," sighed Dan Brady, the local public affairs regional manager for Southern California Edison.
Brady updated the Mammoth Lakes Town Council Wednesday on the utility's ongoing battle with the squirrels. This past summer, the critters caused a number of short outages when they came into contact with exposed copper wire on utility poles in the area.
It looks like any other mid-week football practice in any other small town in America. But there's something different about this Mammoth Huskies junior varsity team this year.
As the team gathers around Coach Noel Looney after a rigorous two-hour session on the high school's practice field, the players, one by one, take off their helmets, including the rugged and intense interior lineman in the middle of the pack.
Make that linewoman.
"I've been told that I'm the first girl who ever played Mammoth High School football," said Elizabeth Martinez. "I feel really happy about that."
A proposed bill to remove the Bodie Hills from its status as potential wilderness brought Eastern Sierra residents on both side of the issue out of the woodwork Tuesday. More than 50 people piled into the county courthouse to have their say.
At stake was a resolution brought to the county supervisors by District 4 Supervisor Bob Peters that asked the supervisors to support a bill to take the Bodie Hills (behind Bodie State Park) out of its current, semi-protected status as a Wilderness Study Area (WSA).
Tourism director John Urdi, a go-getter from the get-go, snagged town development wonk Mark Wardlaw at Wednesday's Town Council meeting, saying, "I want to talk to you about branding." The ever-sharp Wardlaw replied, "You show me a young calf and I'll show you what I know." ...
All of us pass along heartfelt good wishes to Mayor Skip Harvey, who is battling throat cancer. He should be back in action by mid-November, say those in the know ...
When people think about dust storms in the Eastern Sierra, they usually think about the Owens Dry Lake dust storms down in Inyo County.
But Mono County's got its own version and in some ways, it's even worse. The blue and aqua Mono Lake is ringed by miles of dusty shores, left behind when the water level dropped after the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power started diverting feeder creeks.
Eastern Sierra residents can look forward to at least a bit of a break in the smoke this weekend and next week, as the Sheep Fire on the Westside finally dies down after almost two months of pushing smoke over the mountains.
The "let burn" policy on the 7,192-acre fire has pretty much exhausted everyone, including Westsiders, a local air pollution control official said.
"They are as tired of the smoke as we are," said the Eastern Sierra's air pollution control district director, Ted Schade.
A former Mammoth resident and the son of Mammoth Dog Teams' Jim Ouimet was charged Wednesday with two counts of murder with a deadly weapon in a double homicide in Sparks, Nev. following the stabbing deaths of the young son of his estranged wife and his wife's mother on Sept. 17.
Justin Ouimet, 24, was originally arrested by Sparks Police officers in the community of Hidden Valley on Saturday, Sept. 18, on charges of attempted burglary and traffic charges, after an investigation pointed to him as a possible suspect.

Drug: Buprenorphine/Subutex
Opioid agonist medication to treat opiate dependence
Other Name: Subutex
Behavioral: Drug counseling
DC-HIV: Drug Counseling that provides education about HIV, drug abuse and dependence; encourages medication adherence; uses motivational enhancement techniques; encourages life style changes; and teaches cognitive and behavioral coping skills to prevent relapse

Behavioral: Drug counseling
DC-HIV: Drug Counseling that provides education about HIV, drug abuse and dependence; encourages medication adherence; uses motivational enhancement techniques; encourages life style changes; and teaches cognitive and behavioral coping skills to prevent relapse
Detailed Description:
This randomized double blind clinical trial compares the efficacy of buprenorphine maintenance treatment (BMT) and naltrexone maintenance treatment (NMT) for recently detoxified opioid dependent patients (N=130; 65 heroin dependent, 65 opium dependent—Specific Aim 1). Manual-guided, HIV risk reduction and drug counseling (DC-HIV) is provided to all patients as the platform psychotherapy. Maintenance treatment is provided for 12 weeks to all patients; patients may also continue to receive maintenance treatment for an additional 12 weeks following the initial treatment period. Primary outcome measures, assessed by twice weekly urine toxicology testing and self-report during the first 12 weeks and monthly during the 12-week extension, include resumption of heroin use, 1 and 3 weeks continuous relapse and reductions in HIV risk behaviors. The project will also evaluate the characteristics of treatment-seeking opioid addicts in Iran (including specific risk behaviors and patterns of HIV risk behaviors; prevalence of psychiatric and other medical comorbidity; and patterns of social, family, vocational, and criminal activity and service needs—Specific Aim 2). This data will be used to revise the DC-HIV manual to address the specific circumstances and risk behaviors of opioid addicts in Iran and to provide data regarding any differential response of opium compared to heroin addicts to BMT or NMT. Finally, the project will also provide clinical training for health professionals and training and mentoring in drug abuse treatment and HIV prevention research to clinical researchers who will continue development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of HIV prevention and drug abuse treatment approaches in Iran after the project ends (Specific Aim 3). The Institute for Cognitive Science Studies will collaboratively fund the project and lead subsequent dissemination and drug abuse and HIV risk reduction efforts in Iran.

3 Floyd's Arctic Panzer Wolf. A really nice Imperial IPA. Ideal for a cold winter night like this.
Speaking of cask ales, I made my first trip out to Firkin in Libertyville. At about 25 minutes away from my office, it can be a risky proposition to get there and back for lunch, but I did, and I was very happy I did. They had around 30 beers on tap, including two casks, one with Three Bros Outlaw and the other Tighthead Brewery's Irie IPA. I had the Irie last week on tap and was impressed with a new local brewery's effort, so I started with it. It was pretty darn good, though to be honest, I think I enjoyed it a bit more from the tap.
I had a Zombie Dust with my burger. I wanted to try something I'd never had, but nothing jumped out at me and I've never seen ZD so far north.
Anyway, happy to see such a great beer friendly bar in the N/NW Chicago burbs.

Another Thursday another flight at Lex Beerworks. Goose Island Bourbon County, Founders Backwoods Bastard, Brooklyn Black Ops, and Against the Grain Bo and Luke.
Some Ten Fidy for the first time and now I see what all the hype is about,a broad shouldered stout that for me is a perfect fit!

Bells Hopslam. I've seen it at a few places around town now.
Great night at a local bar where they were holding a Deschutes "roll out" party with reps from the brewery in attendance. We had a nice time sucking down pints of Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Red Chair NWPA and Black Butte Porter, as well as small samples of Chainbreaker White IPA. Nice folks from the brewery too!

Sounds like a great lunch. One thing that I should mention regarding the few cask ales that I have found served here and there in Chicagoland is that many are tended to by people with little or no experience in dealing with them, so they are not always served in their optimal condition. In England, many pub owners/managers hire a "cellar man" (if they lack the knowledge and expertise to handle the chore themselves) to continually monitor the beer's progress until it is ready to be served. Having spent many hours in pub cellars picking their brains as to how it's all done, I learned rather quickly that it really takes a great deal of time to learn the ropes, given that each keg of beer is different, and that a novice will inevitably end up serving an inferior pint. I'm afraid that may often be the case here in the US which is unfortunate but understandable.
This year I will be attending the event linked below which takes place every spring just outside Boston. It's a fabulous time!

Russian River Supplication. Tart but good.
Had a Bell's Black Note today (the sole case at my nearby Binny's was sold one bottle at a time in 47 minutes -- or at least the Tweets announcing it was in and then gone were 47 minutes apart). It's a mixture of their Expedition Stout and Double Cream Stout aged in bourbon barrels. On the thin side even at 11.5%; not quite up to the standards of BCBS, KBS or Parabola. Still a mighty fine beer.
"Delicious... bourbon. Brownest of the brown liquors... so tempting. What's that? You want me to drink you?" -Lionel Hutz
Sittin' out back after my run, soaking up some brilliant sunshine and crisp but comfy temps with a Southern Tier 2XIPA. Stunningly delicious. I was gaga over my first one yesterday, but dismissed my hyped-up enthusiasm as simply a carryover from returning back home from profitable meetings in Chicago. Nope. This stuff IS wonderful. And, it's all about balance and the mouthfeel. Citrusy, hoppy, grapefruit and all that you would expect from the style, but deliciously balanced with a creaminess that prevents those qualities from getting out of hand and running roughshod as it rolls over your palate. This baby is going to be a staple in my beer fridge going forward.
Wag more.
Bark less.

Shadowrun: Sail Away, Sweet Sister (Enhanced Fiction)
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 08/30/2014 04:57:17
By now you probably already know that 'Sail Away Sweet Sister' is the sequel to 'Another Rainy Night'. If you didn't, go back and pick up the first in the series. Whilst some will say that this novella could stand alone, readers will have a much more coherent experience if the companion volume if read first.
Now - on to the actual story. It is a well-written piece of fiction that pays attention to little details, good characterisation, vampires-as-monsters, and Shadowrun continuity. The author is obviously a fan of the setting and this shines through in their style. All of the characters are given solid personalities, drawbacks, and (in some cases) slightly disturbing vices as coping mechanisms for the Sixth World. It would be really easy to mine the concepts in the novella to flesh out NPCs for your next game. The story ties into the hints from 'Storm Front' (a brilliant source book from 4e) that those afflicted by HMHVV are experiencing far worse symptoms than usual. The novella offers no deep revelations, but does show some practical effects of this situation.
It is always refreshing to read a novel about vampires that treats these creatures as monsters. The Monster part of the psyche is written well, and the struggle to retain humanity echoes World of Darkness themes and was really appreciated. Lastly, the author paid attention to the smaller details, reminding long-term fans what the Sixth World is like. One great example was how Thomas' magical ability was perceived by those around him. Most reacted with suspicion or were deeply unsettled by anything magical - which is exactly how it should be.
I'm amazed that a title like this is available at this price point. It represents excellent value, and I look forward to reading the third instalment in this series (and maybe a compilation volume). Highly recommended for any Shadowrun fan.

Shadowrun: Bullets & Bandages
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/24/2014 00:54:52
'Bullets & Bandages' could be the title of most of my Shadowrun campaigns, but it is nice to have a book specifically dedicated to healing and healers for the Sixth World. Even with SR2 books like 'Missions' the role of DocWagon, their tactics, and composition have always been a little hazy which is a shame considering how much potential this organisation has to impact any campaign. Likewise, there is a lot material in this book for those with a medical bent, as well as for the GM, so it's equally useful on both sides of the screen (and at this price, it's affordable for every interested player/GM to have a copy).
The writing is solid, from the opening fiction to introductory corporate training piece from a DocWagon instructor, to the rules mechanics which make up the lion's share of the book.
You'll find new equipment, spells, Adept powers, toxins, medicines and drones – all useful kit for runners interested in staying alive long enough to collect their nuyen at the end of the run. The Qualities are extremely average, and even unnecessary (Did we need the Negative Quality 'Pregnant' with accompanying rules? Could we have left this story element to house-ruling? I'd argue that there are better ways to treat the issue) but there is nothing completely unusable about them.
Overall, the book represents good value for good content, and this is a welcome addition to my Shadowrun books. The value is also increased by the addition of dual-statted SR4 and SR5 rules references, so fans of both editions have a reason to pick it up.

Of Predators and Prey: The Hunters Hunted II Anthology
Onyx Path Publishing
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 06/22/2014 23:30:46
'Of Predators & Prey' succeeds as gaming fiction, and in that alone it is a fine resource for players and Storytellers alike. Gaming fiction should provide practical examples of how people live and interact within a game world, should be internally consistent, and should provide ideas for character and chronicle design. The authors of this anthology deliver on all points, as well as providing a suite of fresh, engaging stories around what could have been a very 'tried and true' product.
The stories all manage to offer something slightly different, but focus on the 'everyman' as either individuals or as groups. There are no super-powered action heroes, just regular folk who have glimpsed the reality of vampires and are simply trying to find an appropriate response. From folk who have turned their houses into fortresses that would make an AD&D DM envious, or a small organised force with some basic training and military hardware, or even a gang of children keen to save a school friend, there is an element of believability to each story. Of particular interest is the marriage of reality television and the hunt – and the possible reaction of vampires to televised interviews, but the story told of the vampire who's 'only trying to do the right thing' is just as strong.
It is all too tempting to go through each story and provide a brief synopsis, but you should go into these cold and simply enjoy the experience. Every piece vies for the 'favourite story' position in my mind, and it is clear that the editor did a fine job of selecting this showcase of work.
In short, do yourself a favour and pick up this book in whatever format you can. Keep a notebook and pencil nearby and I'll guarantee that you'll not only have a great time reading the book as fiction, but allowing your imagination to run with the ideas from these characters and their stories.

Deep Magic (Pathfinder RPG)
Kobold Press
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 05/22/2014 22:10:40
'Deep Magic' is a truly spectacular book, reminiscent of the grand sweeping epics that were the HERO product line. In many ways, this is what a Tome of Magic should be - that is, a huge collection of options that add not only vast amounts of new spells to the game, but also tons of story ideas for future campaigns. 'Deep Magic' succeeds in abundance on both counts.
This review has taken a long time to write simply because writing this piece after the first reading would have been a grave injustice to writers. This is a book that requires a clear head, and plenty of time, and should not be tackled lightly. The depth of explanation, the possibilities arising form the spells and societies and even the broader concepts all need time to slosh about in one's head before use. In all seriousness, a DM could purchase any 3.5 core rulebook, pair it with this tome and and a manual of monsters and be very content for a long long time.
You'll find a huge range of new spell types and lists from 'Dooms of the AntiPaladins', 'Minotaur Magic', 'Ring Magic of the Reaver Dwarves', 'Ley Line Magic, and my personal favourites 'Clockwork Magic' and 'Ioun Stone Magic'. These are but a taster of the full breadth of information in the book. It is very clear that the writers were involved in deliberate re-imagining - taking core ideas and then weaving additional layers of interest into each idea. The writing displays consistent conceptual strength backed by an extremely readable style. Given that this is 378 pages of (essentially) new ideas and rules a constant danger would be to overwhelm the reader by taking a textbook publishing approach to this subject. I can assure you that nothing is further from the truth. The artwork is of a likewise high standard and works in near seamless unison with the text to provide evocative emphasis and story inspiration. I could well imagine printing out some of the images and using them as the basis for NPCs in my next campaign.
The level of usefulness of this book cannot be understated. I would imagine that any DM would get a strong return on investment, as there are simply to many good ideas to use in a single campaign (although you would be excused for trying to fit it all in). This volume receives one of my somewhat rare five star ratings as I simply cannot think of any way I would have improved on this offering.
A must have for all DMs.

KoDT: Bundle of Trouble vol. 6
Kenzer & Company
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 05/22/2014 21:38:16
Bundle of Trouble Volume 6 continues the fine tradition set up by the previous strips. In this volume, the reader is treated to the progression of the 'Bag World' storyline resulting in B.A. facing a HackMaster Audit at the request of his players (in which Weird Pete interrogates his game notes), a return to the the previously defunct SpaceHack campaign, and a trick from Nitro Ferguson that has the Knight LARPing in a biker bar (with unsurprising results).
As always, it is frightening to see how many of the Knights mirror my normal gaming group, but that has always been a part of the appeal. Jolly Blackburn has a keen eye for the hobby and it is wonderfully translated into this comic.
If you are unfamiliar with KoDT (shame on you!) or a long-time fan, these volumes represent excellent value not only in terms of price point, but also the enjoyment of reading these stories in full in one sitting.

Dark Ages: Darkening Sky
Onyx Path Publishing
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 04/09/2014 05:01:53
'Darkening Sky' is the latest in the new line of classic WoD titles. It is good to see this 'lost title' finally in print.
The book covers the eclipse of 1230 AD from five different game lines, and each line has been set in a completely different geographic area. This decision was a pleasant surprise, as the developers have chosen to cast the net across the medieval world so that a wide range of plots can be explored. From an aesthetic standpoint, the book remains true to the designs of the original lines, the art is consistently of a high standard (as we have come to expect from White Wolf), and the editors have been meticulous. At this price point, the book represents excellent value.
The only segment of each chapter that I found of little use was the section on cross-over ideas for each story. Whilst I can understand that the authors aimed to make the book as useful as possible, each story stands well on it's own. Each story is well-situated in its' own line and their strength lies in 'keeping true' to their own line.
The chapters are as follows:
Set in Volga Bulgaria, 'The Evergreen Prison' (Werewolf) deals with an imprisoned spirit against the backdrop of an invading army. The chapter introduces the Stargazers and Uktena to Dark Ages Werewolf, including a range of Gifts and Rites. The Sept is well-realised, and there is plenty of storyteller advice about local cultures to use. Likewise, the plot will keep players on their toes as they need to explore and address very different story needs.
'Accidents and Deliveries' (Fae) moves the lens to the British Isles, with the story focused on ancient grudges and challenging the might of the Church. The story excels through personalising the NPCs. None of the characters charges are simply stats and stereotypes; and the storyteller is given ample tools to make the players actually care about the focus of the story. As with the preceding chapter, this is no simple linear plot, and the characters have a chance to seriously affect the outcome.
'Phantasmagoria' (Inquisitor) - set in Italy - is the high-water mark for this title (which is saying a lot considering the extremely high quality of the writing throughout). Whilst I have never played Inquisitor, this chapter really opened my eyes as to the possibilities for this simply as a single module. The story deals with a range of situations in which regular people have seen the supernatural and reported it to the Church. The characters are dispatched to mediate these difficult situations and the outcome is never a foregone conclusion.
'The Abyss Gazes Back' (Vampire) takes us now to Sevilla into a political story with the fate of a torpored Elder in the mix. It deals heavily with Lasombra mysticism, and draws in the Crimson Curia. As with any good Vampire story, the charm lies in the non-linear nature of story (despite the nature of the events set to unfold) and the depth of character given to the major NPCs.
Lastly, 'Divine Right' (Mage) is set in Jerusalem and is -at it's heart - a story of apotheosis. The religious backdrop of the city (something that has appealed to me since reading 'Jerusalem by Night') is brought to light, and in context the main NPCs' actions will be contentious and heretical. This story, more than any of the others has the potentially to go horribly, horribly wrong.
So, there you have it. Five quality stories in one book. If you're willing to run a series of short stories, it would be possible (and highly enjoyable) to work your way through the book - and the game lines - over the course of a few month. The title comes highly recommended and stands as a testament to the fact that these writers are still able to seamlessly evoke the feeling of the classic WoD, which is highly impressive and appreciated.

Shadowrun: Coyotes
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/27/2014 19:05:27
Whilst designed more for the GM than the player, 'Coyotes' is a solid addition to the Shadowrun product line in an appropriate price bracket.
I came across the term during Season 4 of Shadowrun Missions, as Coyotes were integral to the border crossings in Denver. Generally, I winged any scene involving this profession, and always lamented the lack of additional story information. This book addresses my needs admirably, and will be folded into my next game with great enthusiasm.
So what do you get?
- Short fiction at the beginning that is decently written and shows a sample 'run from a Coyotes' point-of-view (as well as the inherent dangers)
- an overview of the role of the Coyote, what you can expect when dealing with them, how they calculate fees, and where the money goes, and why Coyotes can be downright distrustful of 'runners
- a section detailing the hierarchy of borders, how to cross them, what resistance you can expect and the stats for any likely security. This section is well-detailed, and should provide any GM with enough information to add a border crossing to their game.
- the book finishes off with some example Coyotes and a module. The characters are diverse in terms of (meta)humanity, preferred transports, and locations, and this creativity is well-expressed. The module is a one-shot that has the 'runners taking on the role of a Coyote for a night. The basic premise is sound, the pacing is good, and there is plenty of scope to personalise the module for individual groups.
In all, it's an extremely handy resource - especially if you're intending to take your Shadowrun game on the road and expose characters to some new locations. It's well worth the cover price.

Undermountain: Halaster's Lost Apprentice (4e)
Wizards of the Coast
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 02/03/2014 00:32:12
'Halaster's Lost Apprentice' is one of the D&D Encounters seasons that nominally ties into the forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Nominally tied, because the dungeon and lore used in the Encounters are linked to Undermountain, which receives two products in the Fourth Edition line.
The season is structured as twelve interlocking encounters and it is advised that a party will complete each encounter in 90 minutes to two hours – so there is a substantial amount of material in this product. The party is ideally five first-level adventurers, and substantive advice and mechanics govern progression and treasure acquisition during the Encounters. This guidance was required for the organised play aspect of the game when it was originally issued, and some gaming tables may find it interesting and fun to play under similar strictures to replicate the experience.
The title excels however, when removed from the organised play structure. All of the Encounters are very straight-forward and could be easily run by a novice DM. As players progress sequentially through the season, they are introduced to the mechanics of Fourth Edition in a purposeful manner. This is not to suggest that this product is only for beginners; quite the opposite in fact. Experienced DMs will find a good skeleton for a short series of adventures, and can add their own flavour, tinker with the opponents, and also with the motivations of the NPCs. Whilst this would require additional investment of time in terms of planning, the results (especially if the DM could blend this with content from the AD&D boxed set 'Ruins of Undermountain') would be worthwhile.
The design of the title is clean, with statistics boxes clearly able to be read, and organised with quick reference at the table in mind. The maps are likewise presented in an unambiguous manner, but for full use of these the DM will require set of Dungeon Tiles. All of the artwork is of a high standard, and these elements combined make for an enjoyable and streamlined read.

Shadowrun: The Assassin's Primer
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 12/02/2013 00:00:00
'The Assassin's Primer' is a good document to have at the table for anyone wanting to take this Archetype. At only seventeen pages (including cover), you get
- an overview of the life of the assassin,
- and explanation of assassin stereotypes (from the Desperate, the Psycho, and the Idealist)
- 'Knowledge is Power' which describes the sorts of skills that are necessary and how to use them creatively
- a short section on gear and magic
- general advice and Qualities (and a Negative Quality).
All is told from the viewpoint of an assassin who realises that he has a very short time to live and wants to pass along his knowledge. Interestingly, this is the second SR product I've reviewed this week with a White Wolf connection (the other be 'The Vladivostok Gauntlet'). In this product, the handle of the assassin is Quietus (the signature Discipline of the vampire assassins in Vampire: the Masquerade). Interesting.
So, is it worth it?
The book reads like a long magazine article with some rules at the end, a format that should be fairly familiar to most gamers. It does offer some good advice and would be very handy reading for anyone considering running an assassin-type character in the Sixth World. I question the longevity of usefulness for the product; I can see players reading it once, building a character and then maybe referencing it once or twice again. The Creeds are a mixed bag, and mileage will really vary. However, you could wrap an entire character concept around them, so for that they are useful. The edges they provide are situational, but a clever player can engineer this to their advantage.
It was an enjoyable read, and I can see this document having a role at my table, but mostly during character creation.

Shadowrun: Missions: Chasin' the Wind (5A-01)
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/25/2013 23:47:05
Chicago is one name that has a particular resonance to Shadowrun, the infamous Bug City. When this season was announced, I was very excited to see what Catalyst would do with the place after it had been left relatively dormant for a couple of editions.
The introductory Mission for the season does feel very much like set-up. No, not a set-up, but rather building the foundation for the rest of the modules. There are really three separate jobs here. They are all very straightforward, with some suggestions for Pushing the Envelope, but I would imagine that the aim is to ease new players and GMs into SR (especially given the new edition). There are relatively few surprises for a solid module and it wouldn't take too much to prep. On reflection, there are a number of possibilities from this module, and I'm hoping that the story threads are picked up in future modules and expanded.
The setting is briefly explained, with heavy stereotyping (the weather is windy and snowy, the meeting place is a Chicago pizza joint) in both the locations and the Johnsons. Again, there is the distinct feeling that this is meant for the new GM and player. The plot does require social, investigative and technical skills (with some Debugging advice if characters don't have the requisite skills), and unless you Push the Envelope, combat is absent from this 'run.
However, as an introductory module, it definitely succeeds in whetting one's appetite for further adventures in the Windy City. The module can be easily completed in a couple of hours if run 'as-is'.

Shadowrun: Spell Cards, Series 1
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/25/2013 22:13:49
I'm a big fan of cards at the gaming table. As ready-reference items, they are also very transferable and require little book-keeping. I make extensive use of the Paizo magic item decks at my D&D table, and have been casting about for a similar solution for SR5. So, for USD5.99, what do you get?
The file contains fifty-four single-sided cards, colour-coded to the spell type (Combat, Manipulation, Illusion, etc). Each card has the information for the Spell Type, Range, Damage, Duration, and Drain, with a handy page number reference to look up the spell. There is also a very short flavour-text type description of each spell.
The only improvement I would suggest is to make the cards double-sided and include more rules information on the flipside. Many spells have nuanced information such as increasing effect by number of successes and this would be useful. To be honest, I'd want these cards to be a replacement for the Magic section of the core rulebook – becoming quickplay reference. At the moment they aren't quite up to the job.
I've tried printing them out in both colour and black-and-white and they have rendered well in both formats (although I like the colour better). I would advise anyone purchasing this product to invest in either some decent cardstock for printing, or become friends with someone who owns a laminator. Either way, you want to extend the life of the printed cards, and the heavier cardstock/laminated options make them feel like better than flimsy paper.
They are a nice product, and I would like to check out further decks for equipment, drones and even vehicles, common NPCs, and paracritters. I could imagine that by investing a range of decks, a GM could easily construct ad hoc encounters by laying out some cards behind the screen. If the NPC and paracritter cards came with Damage Tracks, you could laminate them and use a dry-erase marker to keep wounds. I like this direction, and I'll be most interested to see where it goes.

Shadowrun: The Vladivostok Gauntlet
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/25/2013 21:51:21
'The Vladivostock Gauntlet' is a welcome addition to the Shadowrun novella line, and follows in the footsteps of classics such as 'Wolf and Raven'. The writing style is clear and evocative, and is an excellent example of how broad the term 'success' is when undertaking (even unwillingly) a run into the shadows. Set in the eponymous city, it follows Yuri as he finds out the cost of 'doing the right thing'.
The novella feels like a 1980's action movie with all of the necessary tropes; but has a distinctly Sixth World feel to it. The characters see some development, and the uneven technological levels is handled very nicely. In summary, it was an enjoyable read.
The only two downsides to the product are minor. Firstly, in a book that features werewolves (of a sort) having two minor characters named Garou and Gangrel seems like the author wants to port in as much White Wolf as possible and this was jarring as I read a lot of old World of Darkness source books and fiction. Secondly, there is a game mechanics chapter to the book detailing stats and the like, but you have to visit the Catalyst website to download it (it is admittedly free). One questions why the two items would be disaggregated beyond an attempt to drive traffic to the company site. I would have preferred to see this gaming material make it into the product.
These two detractions aside, I did really enjoy the novella. If another tale of Yuri and Soren was released, I'd certainly invest the time to read it.

Gygax magazine issue #2
TSR, Inc.
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/21/2013 00:13:27
I'll make no secret that I miss both 'Dragon' and 'Dungeon' magazine in printed format. As mainstays of the hobby, they were my monthly connection with a much larger community, and even to this day, the piles of print magazines have pride of place on my shelf.
Gygax magazine serves the dual purpose of becoming 'Dragon'-like (or as that Draconic?) in appearance, hearkening back to the early issues, but very clearly stands on its own. The layout is fantastic and will appeal to anyone with a love of retro-clones, from the Jeff Easley artwork gloriously adorning the front cover to the typeset of the articles.
The articles in here range in tone and content from 'The evolution from wargaming to role-playing' (by Ernest Gygax), to articles on collecting ('A forgotten grimoire and its curse') and even a rare treat on ordinary characters from none other than Ken St. Andre. I was especially drawn to 'The hare and the hill giant' (a short adventure for 'The One Ring') which I'll be converting to use in either MERP or the Decipher version of the game. It closes out with cartoons (what else?) and it's nice to see the Order of the Stick have the last word once more.
I'll be sourcing print copies of both current issues (they can have shelf space next to the last issue of 'Dragon'), and eagerly awaiting the next issue.

KoDT: Tales from the Vault vol. 1
Kenzer & Company
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/21/2013 00:03:44
The first collection of KODT showcases the earliest comic strips from Jolly as the characters are slowly established. I became familiar with the strip during its' run with 'Dragon', so I missed the earlier development. In this volume we're treated to the formation of the group, B.A.;s experiments with diceless RPGs, unionised players, and the arrival of Sara (who will remain for the rest of the series). Weird Pete runs a few games for the Knights, his style very obviously influenced by the tone of first-edition D&D books.
Overall, it is a fine collection, and makes me nostalgic for the pizza-laden gaming sessions of the 90's as it captures the zeitgeist so well.

Shadowrun: Sprawl Wilds
Catalyst Game Labs
Adrian S.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 10/10/2013 23:15:49
The collection represents a very clever move on the part of Catalyst and comes highly recommend. Firstly, the compilation offers four modules, collected from the convention circuit and made available to all fans at an extremely reasonable price (by current pricing, you'll pay $3.00 per module which is fantastic value). Secondly, the modules come dual-statted, showing both the rules for 'Shadowrun Fourth Edition (20th Anniversary)' and 'Shadowrun Fifth Edition', making the product accessible to players of both editions. The dual-stats are unobtrusive, and Catalyst does a good job (as expected) with layout to make it so.
The four modules offer a wide variety of locales, so each has a very distinct flavour. The break down is as follows:
Manhunt - on the surface, this appears to be an investigation centred around an aquaculture farm in the Barrens, but as we all know there is a lot more to the story than this simple premise. The setting was very interesting, and well-thought-out, and The Barrens were described in very believable terms. It offers a nice balance of investigative and combat scenes, but players who enjoy lateral thinking and in-depth role-playing will find a lot of satisfaction. Another nice touch are the notes which foreshadow to the GM how particular PC actions will influence the outcome.
Carbon Copy - this is tied to the 'Shadowrun Missions' (like the next module) and really you need to know a bit about the backstory to really enjoy this one. That said, it is a solid investigative module with some serious moral choices underpinning the end.
Ashes - set in the Ork Underground against the Proposition 23 Agenda, this is really a survival story set against racial hatred. The terrain can be used to great advantage in this module, as well as the political and religious beliefs of the Underground inhabitants.
Humanitarian Aid - rounding off the compilation is a seriously creepy offering. Ostensibly called to an isolated island for a simple job, the 'runners find a viral outbreak, astral disturbance and a final showdown with a horrifying foe.
I found the balance of module content and locations to be extremely satisfying. Each of the stories has enough to make it stand out form the others in the collection and create a memorable role-playing experience. The overall quality is very high, the artwork consistently good (nice to see some Jeff Laubenstein pieces in this title), and the editing issues which have plagued Fourth Edition releases are absent.
You would be hard pressed to find a collection of modules at a better price, and I'd highly recommend these for both the novice GM (I'd run 'Manhunt' and 'Humanitarian Aid') and veteran GMs (go with any of the modules) alike.

The splashy series created by master colourist, illustrator, and comic artist Massimo Giacon takes the art of watch design to a new level. Brimming with joy, jumping with colour and buzzing with humour, his fresh and attractive watches are peopled with comic figures, graphic flourishes and visual tricks that tease and please the eye. This multi-talented artist's diverse background is unmistakable in these works, which creatively rework pop themes and images, mixing them up with repeated, interlacing forms, snatches of text and motifs in a range of scales. Even the names are evidence of the artist's sheer exuberance - Gulp!!! (GK139), Crash!!! (GG111), Blub Blub (PWN106), Chicchirichi (GR112), Lady Octopus (PWK150), Meeoow (PWK156)...

Lewis & Clark Meeting The Flatheads CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY. MONT. Vol. 3 — No. 7 June, 1959 by Charles M. Russell, 1865-1926 The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805-6 was the most significant of all explorations which helped open the American West to settlement. It was a favorite subject of The Cowboy Artist, who did it many times. The magnificent canvas reproduced here is almost 25 by 12 feet and covers the entire back wall of the House of Representatives Chamber in the Montana State Capitol at Helena. It is not only the largest, by far, of all Russell paintings and one of the best—but generally in the judgement of the experts—the greatest of all western historical paintings. The incident itself (although singularly beautiful in its conception, composition and color) was not of great moment to the expedition. The setting is Ross' Hole (or Rosses Fork) at the head of the Bitterroot River, in the lovely mountain country of present southwestern Montana. The important incident here occurred almost three weeks earlier, when the expedition, by fortuitous circumtance had finally secured Indian horses which provided the only possible means of their crossing the terrible barricade of the main Rockies separating them from the Pacific. But that deal was with the Snake Indians and it took place on what is now Idaho soil. Russell sought a Montana setting. Since the last day of August the expedition had been probing northward for a passage across the forbidding Continental Divide. Upon descending the steep north slope they came to this placid valley, later known as Ross' Hole, where they found some 400 hospitable Flathead Indians well camped, with ample game, fine grass for their 500 horses, and good mountain water. The painting depicts the initial meeting on Sept. 4, 1805, with the Flatheads. The two Captains, Saca-jawea and an old Shoshone guide at right, by sign language, are communicating their desire to make camp here and trade. This they did, not only gaining food, but additional pack animals and good instructions which shortly enabled them to locate and cross over the all-important Lolo Pass;, without which they might never have reached the Pacific. As for Charles Marion Russell, little need be said except that he is now acknowledged as the greatest of the Old West artists. Born in St. Louis, he came to Montana as a boy, spending his final 46 years living the frontier life, and later observing and understanding it as have few men. Although self-taught, his genius could not be short-circuited because of his deep, searching knowledge. As a documentarian he has seldom been equalled. As a man and as an artist he was deeply loved; so much that he is the only Montanan ever elected to National Statuary Hall in the Nation's Capitol, Washington, D. C. The Char-Koosta is indebted to the Montana Historical Society, Helena, for permission to reproduced Mr. Russell's painting and the accompaning text.—W.M.

Draft Prospect: Ezekiel Ansah Posted by blueslover on 1/10 at 1:01 pm the more I look the more I see him being a potential consideration at #15. Think Jimmy Graham like rawness/potential but at DE. The comparisons to NYG JPP could be justified. Image: http://www.deseretnews.com/images/article/midres/1014273/1014273.jpg Some various scouting reports comments- Ansah is originally from Ghana and had never played football in his life prior to 2010. Naturally this means he is a project and will need time to be groomed. Luckily for him, his physical tools are so obvious that he may start in his first game as a rookie. Versatile athlete that can play all over the field with a knack for pass-rushing. Violent short burst, sharp change of direction, flexible in bending the corner. Good strength, but lacks a thick base given his long frame. Not a great run defender since he can be pushed back. May begin his career as a pass-rush specialist only. His long arms can initiate contact and hold ground. Lack of lower half power can be driven off the ball. Ansah is a natural athlete that brings an outstanding effort and rarely seen, almost unheard of high ceiling to the table. Could fly up draft boards after the combine or could fall slightly if teams have serious concerns about his play against the run. He projects as a first round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Image: http://byucougars.com/files/imagecache/728x410/photos/_88r7686.jpg Ansah is the hottest name on the draft market right now with people saying he's going anywhere from the Top 5 to the Top 50. Ansah's game stock is based mostly on potential and there is a lot of it. He's a far better prospect than either Barkevious Mingo or Jarvis Jones, to me. He's got a ceiling that no other prospect can touch in this DE class but that's the key, this is all based on what he can be, not necessarily on what he is. Ansah has only been playing football for three years and the growth he has shown as been remarkable. His basketball background has certainly paid dividends on the football field with his athleticism and length. However he's still learning a lot about the game, and the next step in that will be learning more about the X's and O's and improving his awareness and football IQ. There is little doubt in my mind that Ansah will be a successful defensive player in the NFL, I'm not sure what position that will be at just yet, but I don't consider that to be a bad thing. This kid is so athletic and so good he could be successful at a myriad of positions. For the time being we're going to leave him as a DE. He's without a doubt going to be our top rated senior DE when the next position update comes and we're really excited to see what he does in Mobile. Image: http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Ezekiel+Ansah+BYU+v+Georgia+Tech+CjVwTGn5oQPl.jpg Ziggy Ansah will enter the draft with as much fanfare and differing opinions as any prospect. The hulking Ghanaian has only three seasons of football under his belt. He initially came to BYU with intentions of contributing to the track team. He then tried out for the basketball team, before finally finding his place on Bronco Mendenhall's squad. Ansah tallied 4.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, and 9 batted passes as a senior. His defining trait is his raw power. The scary part is that he hardly seems to know how to use it. Ansah is the definition of a raw prospect, a defender who goes out each and every play can just reacts to what he sees and flies to the football. Even then, he flashes schematic understanding and gap discipline on less complicated offensive plays. He displayed the kind of schematic versatility that will endear him to all onlookers. He was utilized all over the defensive line, from a nose tackle to an edge rusher in two point stance. His skills best translate to a 5 technique in a 3-4 scheme, where he can play a J.J. Watt-type role. Because he has such a clean slate, he can legitimately translate to a 4-3 end spot with some pass rush development. Whichever team pulls the trigger will need to be patient and wait for him to develop his technique and recognition skills. If it comes as quickly in the league as it has for him at BYU, he will become a dominant force on the defensive line. The sky is truly the limit.

Posted by Peazey on 1/10 at 2:09 pm to blueslover 6'5" 270 lbs. Prototypical DE size. A couple of the scouting reports seem to contradict each other. The first says that he lacks power, and the last says that he just doesn't know how to use it. One also says that he's more of a 5 technique, but he may be used as a situational pass rusher. It seems to me that 5 technique guys usually aren't exceptional as a pass rusher. He is definitely intriguing. Depending how things end up looking going forward I wouldn't mind the Saints going after him. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Fleur de Diable on 1/10 at 2:42 pm to saintsfan22 Aldon Smith, JPP and Bruce Irvin were all considered projects when they came out. None were considered can't miss. Potential is a huge component in this puzzle that is the draft. What this defense is missing the most is someone that opposing offenses must account for. I'm not saying Ansah is the only one out there who can be that person for us, but when it comes to realistic options of who might be there for us, I definitely would say his name needs to be kept in the mix.

Posted by Lsuhoohoo on 1/10 at 5:44 pm to blueslover He's intriguing for sure. But considering the state of our defense, I'm hesitant to jump on the bandwagon of a raw "project" player. IMO if our defense was better and had more play makers, I think the FO should be more apt to take a risk like this. But coming of the season we just had, I'm not sure its worth the bigger gamble.

Phoronix: Fedora 13 Alpha Benchmarks
Following the release of Fedora 13 Alpha this week we delivered Intel graphics benchmarks looking at the performance of an Intel Atom Netbook using the very latest kernel, DRM, and Mesa packages that Fedora is known for carrying. There are regressions in the Intel stack worth noting, but in this article, we are continuing in our Fedora 13 benchmarking by looking at the general system performance of the Linux desktop.
It's very easy to misinterpret these benchmarks and just to clarify again, Fedora has extensive debugging options (compared to other distro devel branches) enabled during the pre-release which has a very significant impact on performance and since debugging options help in gathering more information when Fedora gets bug reports, this is the trade-off.
So take performance impact benchmarks with a pinch of a salt or even more than a pinch :-)

This is not clever.
Laser have much higher per-page cost than Inkjet.
On inkjet side - count ink cost, printhead cost (only those with removable printhead)
On laser side - count pulver cost, laser wear cost, drum cost, press cost, collector cost.
One laser component costs at least 100$. For color lasers, multiply drum+laser unit cost by 4. Because either one drum for all colors or seperate drum - no difference, due to correspondingly highering wearout.
Also, do not forget that there are standalone fax devices, like AVM products. They can send and recieve faxes, and can print the fax over to connected printer. They are linux-powered devices btw. So you don´ t necessary need standalone Fax in printer.
I recommend HP.
Because superb driver quality, very good hardware for money, no terminator pagecounters(hello epson!), no wear-out on purpose techniques I know, liberal aftermarket ink policy.
Next comes Brother, which has worse software, partially opensource drivers. Prints graphics worser, but very liberal to aftermarket ink. Fax backend is bad, but after you write your own PDF/TXT to PS translator, it will work.
Canon, no experience. Had Canon laser that had no working driver. I suppose driver quality - abysmal. Printing mechanism is thermal bubblejet, same to HP. So why care if HP is best here?
Then probably Epson. Recommend only if Gutenprint supports your model and if you use pigment ink, or want to use dye ink in Lxxx models. Otherwise, get HP.
Artisan color models are not worth it. For photo, its better to get pigment based and then experiment with profiles - you get 100 year light resistance on photo (not 5 years). Also, artisans are very complex devices. If you want better photo - get pigment printer that uses Ultrachrome inks.
Epson original drivers: open and closed source, open - bad print quality, only basic features; closed - good quality, but can upgrade firmware - invalidate your aftermarket cartridges/CISS. Also only, if you are going to print with pigment ink (original or aftermarket). Also, pay attention printer has page counter, when it thinks its waste inkpad is full, it will require service (100$) or you will need to purchase reset program with code(10$) to crack your printer - wastepad can be replaced with toilet paper. Also, pay attention very very aggressive cartrige chips - Epson try hard to sell you only overpriced ink. Also, pay attention - very complex printer build - very hard to service.
Thats it.
You can risk buying Lexmark, but only if its large volume network-aware device. Standalone Lexmark printers (50-200$) have bad drivers, bad print quality, very overpriced original ink.
Under no condition buy Kodak, they are dead, aftermarket inks are not available.
I do not recommend to buy aftermarket cartridges, due to uncertain ink quality inside. You can easily kill your printer.
If you are low on cash, check ebay used printers that are in prisine condition, then check their inks (and prices), decide original or aftermarket ink, then driver support. And read their reviews.
That way, you can pay 60-80% less, ie 50$ for a printer worthy 150$ new.
But you should really understand your specific printer. For example, inkjets are dirty printers, so they need to moisure printhead with ink.
If you have permanent printhead, you should also clean printhead from time to time, with specific print head cleaning fluid. I prepeat - specific print head cleaning fluid (for example Inktec CS is very popular, cheap and powerfull).
Once in a year, you should disassemble the printhead or use other technique to clean underside of printhead, and pump area. Otherwise you will inavoidably get ink smearing. This is 1 hour procedure. If you understand and service your printer properly, you will have no problems.
If ink cost is too much for you - get refillable cartridges (print volume under 20 pages/month) or CISS (print volume above).
Fill it with good ink for your goal - dye I recommend Inktec, real pigment - I recommend Hongsam/DCTec.
And you print for 20$-100$ (depends on ink type) per Liter ink. Original Ink costs 1500$ per Liter (varies, Brother is best choice here... Can go with original).
If you print A LOT, you can consider Epson Lxxx series and buy original Epson ink - comes in big quantities, so price is affordable. But this printer type needs to print a lot.
There is me.
Also, if you go for inkjet and want aftermarket ink, it is better to get older printer.
Because higher compatiblity, possiblity to have open drivers.
Otherwise, on original inks, you probably go Brother. But their software is inferrior to HP.
If you decide to get Laser, be sure to get full hardware capable printer. Not GDI printer.
This will cost you around 600$ for device. GDI laser printers cost 300$, but they have are very low-page count and need almost all parts replaced, which will cost you more than a new laser printer. Yes.
For example, you can get HP Photosmart for 100$, which uses water-resistant black pigmented ink and dye CMY inks, CISS for 20$ and around 0,5 Liter Inktec or other good Ink for 20$.
This ink amount is sufficient for around 3000 pages, black is water resistant. Colors are resistant only on resin photopaper, but color will fade in under 1 year.
If you need 100 year color resistant photo, go pigment ink (but you will need to print constantly, or ink will dry up in printhead like stone. Talk about 100 year resistance ). True pigment also costs much more in production. So decide how much you print per month, do you print photo, if yes does light resistance play any role, do you print color pages that need to be water resistant on normal paper. After this, I can recommend.

World-class downhill slopes and chillingly steep "front four" mountaintop runs have made Stowe, Vt., a favorite destination for skiers. On a jaunt in summer, however, I discovered that this historic New England village has far more to offer than skiing. I also realized how dramatically the Green State differs from anywhere else in the country.

As you head south from downtown Denver, the number of office complexes, shopping malls and other real estate developments gradually declines.
