15 Symptoms or Tips to Identify Social Concerns
If you can answer yes to two or more of these items about your student they may need help to connect socially with their peers and to prepare for the real world. Here are a few symptoms to look for:
- Doesn't recognize non-verbal cues – Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NLD)
- Gets in peers personal space
- Annoys to get attention because they do not know how to get it another way
- Low self confidence
- Poor eye contact
- Only interested in themselves rather than taking an interest in their peers
- Talks too much
- Lacks assertion
- Impulsive or blurts out responses
- Tries too hard to make friends laugh – thinks humor will make them friends
- Reacts to teasing and does not know how to roll with conflict
- Has a need for justice & fairness and judges peers
- Isolates or withdraws from peers
- Always wants to be first or wants to play what they want
- Kids do not call for play dates or to hang out!
Who can benefit?
- Most students or young adults with the above listed social delays
- Aspergers & Autistic Spectrum
- ADHD/ADD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) – Most are behind 25% socially.
- Lack assertion
- Bullied or have trouble responding to teasing
- Low self esteem or self confidence and isolate themself from their peers
- Think they have friends, but does not do anything with them outside of school
- Play with kids older or younger, but have trouble with peers their age (same age peers).
- Depression or Anxiety and have trouble engaging in conversation with their peers.
- Do not have friends calling to do things or spend the night.
- Not invited to birthday parties.
Have you ever seen a Leader without Followers?
"I was first!" "You are doing it wrong!" "I want to go next!" "Can I be first!" These are a few statements from students that most likely exhibit leadership skills. They are often told to go to the end of the line, or given a consequence for telling someone what to do, but maybe they need someone to tell them "what to do." Silly to think of someone that calls themselves a leader, but have yet have no followers.
However, there are future leaders around us that need to learn how to find followers to influence, but they just need some direction. For instance we may describe these future leaders as:
- "Bossy," but they are really "Leaders" that need some tweaking.
- "Caretakers,"but really they are "Helpful" but need to get permission to help: "May I Help You."
- "Class Clown," but really they are future "Entertainers" who need an outlet and training.
- "Gossipers," but they are just future "Communicators" that need to talk about the positive qualities of others.
Consider how a student views leadership. Basically, they see leaders (parents, teachers, principal, police) as anyone that "tells them what to do (bosses them)." So when they start to assert their leadership skills they start telling their friends what to do and tell them how to do things and therefore they are called "Bossy." Big surprise!
So instead of calling these kids "Bossy, Caretaker, Class Clown or Gossiper" maybe we could give them suggestions on how to:
- Lead
- Affirm
- Compliment
- Build others up
- Brag on other's rather than themselves
- Take an interest in someone's life or passions
- Give them a stage to Entertain
- Offer help to someone, share an idea, etc.
According to Dr. Russell Barkley, MD, students with ADHD/ADD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder) as well as students with aspergers are often 25-30% behind socially and emotionally. Students like these may not have ADHD and need help with boundaries, assertion, impulse control, coping skills, starting conversations, greeting, etc., to help close the gap.
It is tough to find Social Skills Leadership Groups so this curriculum is for you to lead a group or teacher your student social skills andleadership. Once they know how to lead and do some of the above listed items, they will in turn make their peers feel good to be around them and gain their influence. Once they have influence they have "friends" and can call themselves a leader. Students are taught how to roll with teasing with comical statements that do not provoke their peer.
What is the Group Format? – Our Curriculum incorporate the following:
- Power Point – Professionally made Power Point slides with pictures and sound effects that compliment the Social Skills Workbook Handouts.
- Handouts - Professional made handouts with fill in the blank exercises to role play conversation in the group or with a parent.
- Point System – Using Poker Chips the students earn points toward a reward at the end of each group.
- Parent Involvement at the end of each session so the students can share or teach their parents what they learned. "Teaching is the best learning."
- Experiential Learning which include games used at ropes courses to improve communication, teamwork, and help students connect with their peers (Social Skills Workbook).
- Building Trust: Students learn "Trust" is the glue in relationships and everything we do with our peers either builds trust or breaks trust.
- Resolving Conflict with Peers: Students are encouraged to "Rebuild Trust" with a peer in our groups by doing something nice for whomever's trust was broken in an effort to repair the trust.
Our groups have been very effective and Channel 13 did a story on one of our students who reported having no friends to having friends as a result of this group program. See the Channel 13 interview in the Sidebar.

A person that will not be ruled or enslaved. A self-reliant, self-sufficient, independent person of any sex, any race that is self-directed, self-disciplined, and self-governed. A person that is not opposed to collective governments but believes each person's rights come not from man-made governments but from God and that all are responsible and accountable for their own actions. The exact opposite of a slave.
Thomas Payne was a true freeman .... quote "government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.".......

Leagues of Adventure #01: Dreaming Spires
Triple Ace Games
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 02/25/2013 21:57:48
Dreaming Spires is an adventure for Triple Ace Games' Leagues of Adventure RPG.
The adventure is set in late 19th century England, and has a structure and feel not unlike that of the first Robert Downy Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie. The Globetrotters are asked by an aristocratic family to seek out their missing son who was expelled from his studies at Cambridge, and in the process stumble on a sinister plot that could shake the foundations of the empire!
The adventure is loosely organized into "episodes", and the episodes into scenes. The episodes are roughly in order of the way they are likely to occur, but there is some flexibility built in; players can easily surge ahead in the plot and skip earlier scenes, and perhaps double back to ones that they might have missed.
The adventure incorporates a lot of actual historical locations and a few historical figures. The author weaves these details into the backstory so they become somewhat important. She certainly did her research here (or is an expert on the history of Cambridge); there were many places where I wondered if she was just creating fanciful details but found out they were real, like the Cambride Apostles and Russian Cosmosism. This makes for a flavorful and realistic-feeling backdrop to the adventure.
Of course, this is written for steampunk game and you will find the requisite wierd science inventions in there.
Though a strong adventure, I do think it is best for experienced GMs. There are places that I had to improvise to keep things on track and conceive where certain important NPCs would be at certain times where the adventure is not explicit; some sort of dramatis personae, NPC overview, and/or relationship map would have been helpful to this end. Also, though the plans and techniques of the NPCs are well detailed, for the most part, descriptions of their physical appearance was lacking, a detail my players quizzed me about and had to make up on the spot.
Overall, it was a fun adventure to run in the action-investigation steampunk mold, and I can't wait to see the next installment in the series!

Agent X: One-Man Army

Date Added: 07/25/2008 18:42:50
AgentX: One Man Army is the first in a series of short topic PDFs.
The PDF contains the One Man Army expert class and the partner feat chain.
What is the one man army?
I'll spell it out for you: John McClaine. Yeah, there are other "tough guy" hero figures, but I'd have to say that it's the Die Hard movies series that made the concept deserve its own class.
There are no class skills for crashing cars into helicopters. But there is a class ability called "Yippee-ki-yay". The class abilities are all about taking a lot of punishment and dishing it out against all odds (one ability, I stand alone, gives BIG bonuses when you are outnumbered.)
Of course, the class works well for any of your classical punishment-taking heroes like Rambo or your typical Van Damme character (Martial Artist/OMA!). I'm sure Jack Bauer had a few level in it by season 5 of 24.
Of course, if the class says "Die Hard", the Partner Feat Chain said "Lethal Weapon". Or, any of a number of martial arts flicks with good "partner" fight choreography. There are 3 feats in feat chain (standard for SC 2.0 feat chains). Partner basics lets you elect one "partner" at the beginning of a combat, and gives bonuses to your partner while adjacent. The later feats give more bonuses, and all of the feat's have bonuses that improve if your partner has the feat chain 2.
In addition to the actual mechanics, there are brief sections with recommendations for making a character using the class, and ideas for playing the character, including cultural influences. (They didn't mention Die Hard, but maybe they thought it was obvious.)
The one thing I felt was missing: it always seems like tough guys are getting tortured and shrugging it off. But there is nothing in the OMA class other than resolve as a class skill that really emphasizes that. The poor OMA doesn't even have a good will save. I'm thinking if I ever run this class, a bonus Hold Out feat may make in somewhere into the mix.
In the final analysis, for under 2 dollars, it seems like some players will derive some fun from the mental nuggets that this class and feat chain convey, which should make it worth it.

RPG Objects

Date Added: 07/10/2008 21:24:08
Modern20 is a game of modern action by RPGObjects. As RPGObjects' bread and butter has been D20 Modern, it should come as little surprise that this product covers similar ground as D20 Modern and shares many of the same assumptions. It's essentially Charles Rice answer to what ails D20 Modern.
Modern20 is a 108 page PDF priced at $10, currently available at RPGnow and PRGOjects' web store. The document has a full color front and back cover and color interior art; two more pages are the open game license.
Modern20 does not carry the D20 logo or compatibility statements, but does use the open game license.
The book is illustrated by Anthony Cournoyer. His style is a bit cartoony for my tastes, but not too far from the artwork of Kalman Andrasofszky, whose art is one of the signature visual features of Wizards of the Coast's D20 Modern products.
The PDF file makes good use of bookmarks. There is a convenient and intuitive hierarchy, and the bookmarks go down to the level of individual feats.
The layout was generally attractive and readable. I didn't notice any table formatting gaffes. There is good use of header and body fonts. The only section that I thought could be laid out better was the sample NPC section, which had frequent breaks in the middle of stat blocks.
A Deeper Look
I think it's fair before I begin to familiarize the reader with where I am coming from. As some ENWorld familiars may know, I am a fan of the Spycraft system, and in particular the Spycraft 2.0 rules. Though I have made good use of D20 Modern in my home games and think it makes a good substrate to build upon, I've long felt that it has significant weaknesses as a modern gaming system.
There are a number of third party publishers of D20 Modern material. Of these, RPG Objects is one of the best, producing a number of outstanding rules supplements and settings, in particular, the "Blood" line of supplements and Darwin's World. As such, it should be interesting to see how they treat the topic of a refined competitor to the game that has been their bread & butter.
As Modern20 is a complete, stand-alone game, it will naturally need to come up with its own take on how to handle ability scores. The system uses the classic 6 D20 abilities: strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. The modifiers are the same as you may be used to, but instead of copying the table out of the PHB/D20 Modern rulebook, it simply states the formula. That works for me (being an engineer), but there are probably a few folks who still work from the table. In this case, it's safe that you continue to do so.
Generating ability scores is another topic that the book has to muster on it's own and cannot copy from D20 Modern. Several methods are presented, for the most part emulating existing methods. The point gen methods aren't an exact duplicate of existing methods; they actually seem a bit simpler and punish you less for taking abilities above 16.
The author spends a bit of time examining why you would want to use some methods over others, which is a nice touch. However, none of the presented methods address the sort middle ground "compromise" between random and point buy that I have come to favor.
Modern20 retains a "layered" approach to character generation, but in contrast with D20 Modern, Modern20's approach is more "layered". Where D20 Modern featured a "starting occupation" that provided some additional class skills and possibly feats and/or wealth modifiers, Modern20 provides 3 mechanical elements that modify the base class:
-Backgrounds describe the character's occupation before their time as an adventurer. This provides additional skills and a base wealth for the character (note that wealth operates differently in Modern20 than in D20 Modern.)
-Occupation represents what you currently do for a living. Mechanical, this is probably the most involved of these "class modifiers." The occupation provides a bonus to your wealth, but the bonus varies according to your skill bonuses. Further, as long as you are practicing this occupation, the skills remain on your skill list. Finally, the character's feat selection is expanded by the occupation, and these feats are "improved" so long as the character remains in the profession. Finally, occupations can provide skill perks. Perks are a subsystem of feat like abilities that provide additional skill uses or other abilities.
-The Hobby represents the simplest of the 3 "class modifiers". The player may select any skills; the character receives 4 ranks in it (there is no indication that it is added to the class skill list.)
There are no advanced or prestige classes in Modern20. There are 6 base classes, but their founding philosophy is slightly different than the ability score based classes of D20 Modern. Rather, the Modern20 classes are founded around the derived statistics they generate:
The 6 base classes of Modern[sup]20[/sup] are:
-The Powerhouse is the "attack" specialist.
-The Speedfreak is the defense specialist.
-The Tank is the "hit point" specialist.
-The Braniac is the "skill point" specialist.
-The Empath is the "saving throw" specialist.
-The Star is the "reputation" specialist.
The distinction between the approach of these classes and those of D20 is mild since each of the ability scores feed into one of targeted statistics, but in some cases it does make more sense than D20 Modern (the example that stands out is how strong hero characters in D20 Modern make good marksmen; the powerhouse class of Modern20 is *about* attack bonus instead of being *about* strength.)
It's noteworthy that the braniac has a medium base attack bonus progression, an improvement over the smart hero which I always felt was a difficult class to play in D20 Modern.
Similar to Spycraft (and other D20 works by Kevin Wilson, like games in FFG's Horizon line) and True20, each of the classes in Modern20 feature a core ability that is only received by a character taking their first level in the class.
Another shift from D20 Modern is the removal of talent trees. Much like True20, each character receives a feat at every level, selected from a class feat list or a general list, thus supplanting talent trees.
Reputation, action points, allegiances, and wealth also appear here. Allegiances see the least changes, and action points are a bit more succinct. Wealth and reputation systems see bigger changes.
The wealth system gives the character a wealth rating, but there is no rolling involved. It is still an abstract system, but the way it works is to provide a threshold beneath which the character needn't worry about tracking expenditures. Above the wealth level, purchases decrease the character's wealth (and conversely, selling valuable items increase it.) Thus, wealth still remains a system where player good behavior or GM intervention is required to avoid some unbelievable situations, but it seems like it would be less unwieldy in play.
Reputation sees more extensive changes. Instead of merely providing a skill bonus or penalty in social encounter, reputation provides resources in the form of special access, contacts, favors, and followers.
RPGObjects' variant of the disadvantage system shows up here. Similar to the one crafted in Haven D20 and RPGObjects' Modern Disadvantages, these disadvantages provide benefits to the character only if it shows up in an adventure. This version differs in that it provides action points when the disadvantage rears its ugly head rather than experience points. However, the words "experience awards" are still used in the description in some places.
In Modern20, skills see many alterations. For starters, the skill list is almost totally different. Much like True20 and Spycraft 2.0, many skills that existed in D20 Modern are combined into other more comprehensive skills like academics, acrobatics, athletics, and perception.
One change that seems unique to D20 variants is the idea of a "targeted skill check", which replaces opposed skill checks. When I first heard about this, I was a bit worried, as I think that opposed checks are a technique that D20 handles well, and shows a significant strength of the system over those of the last century. Alas, targeted skill checks are in essence the same thing as opposed skill checks with one party automatically taking 10. This stands to minimize the amount of dice rolling to resolve skill conflicts and should create more consistent results.
Perks were mentioned previously. Perks creature special uses of skills that can only be accessed by characters with the perk in question. For example, skills with specialties (like academics, art, or crime) are handled with perks; each specialty past the first in an additional perk. Other perk skill uses include tumble under acrobatics, "cracking" under computers, and burst fire under firearms.
The combat rules are, on the surface, very similar to standard D20 combat. The biggest change is that the system uses a hit location chart. This uses a d20 roll and the damage is modified according to where the injury landed. An optional injury rule has the potential to inflict penalties on a character; determining whether and what injury applies requires that you find the difference between the attack roll and defense rating, and comparing a fortitude save to a number determine by the attack roll. Given the lengths that the author went to reduce skill rolls, it seems odd that he would accept a system like this that seems more complicated than the rolls he took out.
A final significant departure from D20 is that the system eschews the idea of experience points.
Two appendices are included: a character creation example and a list of sample NPCs similar to those that appeared in D20 Modern.
Modern20 is a top-down redefinition of the D20 Modern game system. Several sore spots with the system are addressed, and the designer makes some interesting innovations along the way.
The character generation is perhaps the most interesting retooling of the game. It should appeal most to players who like creating characters using D20 Modern base classes; much like Grim Tales, the system does not utilize advanced or prestige classes. This could be a detriment for players who like to "subscribe" to a class concept and don't want to make a lot of decisions along the way.
The most interesting aspect of the character generation system is that it provides in-game representation of what might be considered more mundane aspects of a character's background, and even represents things like occupation changes in play. All told, I think this makes Modern20 an excellent choice for "everyman hero" gaming, where the characters are realistic and well defined characters.
The system does handle many of the hangups I have with the D20 Modern combat system nicely, namely nonlethal damage and firearm rules. However, while the idea of inserting a hit location system into a D20 game had promise (something I do in my own d20 house rules), I think the optional injury rule runs counter to the streamlining he tries to achieve elsewhere.

Return to the Tomb of Horrors takes the classic meatgrinder Tomb of Horrors and spins it into something more... a high level campaign arc in which the PCs struggle against desperate odds to stop an ancient evil from realize his frightening agenda.
An excellent candidate for conversion to 3.5.
: In some places, the OCR of the electronic version is a little shoddy. Sadly, this occurs where you need to copy and paste the most: the shaded "read aloud" text.
The Journal of the Tomb is also out of order.

Dungeon Crawl Classics #29: The Adventure Begins

Date Added: 12/06/2006 00:00:00
The adventure begins is a collection of small adventures designed for low level characters. The adventures are written by a variety of authors. However, these adventures are not simple collections of monsters written up in rooms. There are some clever puzzles, logical setups, and intriguing implications associated with many of them. In one adventure, the players find a room of candles that could one day return them to life. Another adventure features encounters very good at teaching players aspects of the game. Still another introduces players to psionic opponents.
All in all, this is a very good, easy to use selection of adventures.

Book of the Righteous

Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 12/06/2006 00:00:00
Book of the Righteous is the classic pantheon product by Green Ronin. For me, and many others, this is the deity product that the Deities & Demigods should have been: a rich expose on the deities within, their lore, and details on their churches and followers.
This makes Book of the Righteous one of the most compelling sources for Pantheons for fantasy RPG settings.
This (PDF) version of the book splits off and updates the Holy Warrior's Handbook (also sold separately) to 3.5 mechanics. The Holy Warrior is, essentially, a Paladin whose abilities are largely replaced with "domains" to make it appropriate to deities other than Lawful Good deities, and further, reflecting specific aspects of the deities.
: The detailed, flavorful, and well written pantheon.
The Holy Warrior.
: Though the holy warrior was updated to 3.5, many of the remaining mechanics were never updated. Some character options need some attention to be playable.

MonkeyGod Presents: The Jade Magi Sewer Crawl
Highmoon Games
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 11/13/2006 00:00:00
The Jade Magi sewer crawl invites the PCs to act as troublshooters to take care of the problem with a few oversized creepy-crawlies, and investigate the reason behind them.
The adventure, the title might suggest, has a Chinese flavor to it. The characters have Chinese sounding names and the background details about the Dragon Empire are styled like that of ancient China. This is not a huge obstacle if you aren't running a campaign with such a setting, as many of the conventions could exist in a traditional faux-European setting, but playing up the Chinese flavor could aid in setting a unique tone for the module. No special mechanics are use to reflect a Chinese culture.
The adventure is structured with the first 2/3 or so with the party interacting with the locals and troubleshooting problems with creatures rising from the sewers. In addition to the old school monster bashing, the PCs get to deal with corrupt guard captains, oversexed teenagers sizing up adventurers for husbands, and a cooky old sage that you will surely picture portrayed by Victor Wong.
The last part gives way to more traditional dungeon crawl, when the PCs find clues to the reason behind all this mayhem.
Overall, I find that the adventure has a depth in NPC characterization and great roleplaying potential that is missing from many d20 adventures. I highly recommend it.
: Interesting scenario, well developed NPCs, amusing storyline.
: It's statted for 3.0. This isn't too big an issue because the specifics of NPC abilities aren't terribly important, and most creatures are right out of the MM/SRD, thus easy to update.
: Very Good

Advanced Race Codex: Elves
Green Ronin
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 07/21/2006 00:00:00
Advanced Races Codex: Elves is a segment of the never-realized volume by Green Ronin, updating and adding new race material for the 3.5 d20 fantasy rules.
As you might suspsect, the cheif resource for this book is Green Ronin's wood elf book, Bow & Blade. However, that book was a 3.5-ready book to begin with, so this book will not be as appealing to those who already own this book.
The main new (or mostly new) material in the book is the new elf subraces, which push the book's scope modestly beyod that of mere wood elves. Some other material is reused, such as the Bamboo Elf from Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts.
Only a fraction of the Bow & Blade material is reused here, but most of the fears, prestige classes, and spells are from Bow & Blade.
: Some new subraces provided a few new options.
: There was little material beyond that already presented in Bow & Blade. If you are looking for a book on elves, despite the narrower focus on Bow & Blade, I think you are better off gettng that book. If you do already have it, there is little reason to get this book unless you are seeking out new subraces.

Spycraft 2.0 Rulebook - Second Printing
Crafty Games
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 07/17/2006 00:00:00
Spycraft 2.0 is making its mark as more than just another d20 spinoff, having garnered nominations for both the ENWorld/GenCon RPG Awards (ennies) and the Diana Jones award for excellence in gaming.
For those not already familiar with Spycraft 2.0, it's a complete retooling of the Spycraft system. It is not based on d20 modern, but a stand-alone game. The game includes a number of useful innovations such as campaign qualities (allowing you to shift the feel of the campaign with concrete rules tweaks) and dramatic conflicts (providing tense and dramatic resolution for conflicts other than straight up battles, from chases to seduction and hacking, all using the same subsystem.) Spycraft 2.0 is a dream system for modern action.
The PDF updates the book to the second printing, with numerous clarifications and corrections. In addition, the gear chapter has been rearranged for ease of use. There are a few minor renamings and similar trivial changes.
The authors obviously spent a good amount of time ensuring that the document is as correct and useful as possible.
: A game as robust as SC 2.0 really benefits from being deployed in electronic format.
: It is a bit higher priced compared to the print version than I usually expect... but as the print version was something of a steal, this isn't much of a complaint.
: Excellent

Lethal Legacies: Traps of the World Before
Goodman Games
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 10/25/2005 00:00:00
I saw this one a while ago, but put off getting it because it seemed to me like another instance of Grimtooth's Traps or Traps & Treachery, books which, while they do their topic well, see little use in my game. But being intrigued by the subtitle "Traps of the World Before", I decided to give it a go.
The book does, indeed, have traps. But these are not merely traps in the Grimtooth "let's see how high we can get the body count while the GM gleefully grins over the fiendishness of the trap." These "traps" are as much artifacts of a bygone age as they are mere traps.
The trap writeups leave room for dealing with the challenges on both the player ingenuity level and the PC skill level.
: Traps are flavorful and thus seem easier to insert in a game; with Grimtooth and T&T, I feel like I am either struggling to explain the presence of a trap or like I am "breaking the fourth wall" by broadcasting the presence of a GM. These traps seemed much more sensible, much more plausible as possible artifacts of an ancient culture.
: Multiple instances of the affect/effect gaffe (a majority of instances of "affect" should have been "effect".) This is my personal pet peeve of grammar errors.
: Very Good

Lion's Den Press: The Iconic Bestiary -- Classic Fey
Lion's Den Press
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 10/22/2005 00:00:00
The fey in official books seem to be drawn from a narrow set of archetypes, hardly worth having their own monster type. Third party publishers can address this need, but it is all too easy to do it wrong. It would be easy to present fey as just more sword fodder.
The Iconic Bestiary - Classic Fey addresses all that. It is nice collection of classic fey creatures drawn from myth and folklore. And it does make them more than simple sword fodder. It is challenging to portray fey creatures given their often utterly alien mindset and the aura of superstition associated with them. Classic Fey provides interesting and flavorful guidelines helping to preserve this supernatural feel to fey, with a nice array of details in each one - encounter guidelines, adventure ideas, and knowledge entries.
: The background and detail on fey behavior. The feats are great to add variety and unpredictability. Adventure hooks and knowledge roll results are also always welcome in creature books, and especially applicable here.
: I'm not so sure that some of the creatures captured herein classify as fey in my mind.

zzz-Cities & Settlements 3.5
Troll Lord Games
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 10/22/2005 00:00:00
A hidden treasure.
Troll Lords is not my usual fare, but I have enjoyed products by them like Path of the Magi. I am always interested in "setting component" type products, and when I saw Jeff Ibach (of AEG's Toolbox) was heading it up, I figured it might be a worthwhile purchase.
I wasn't disappointed. For the price, it delivers a lot of useful little towns that your players should have fun with. Each has both mechanical and setting flavor detail. With this product in hand (or on hard drive), you needn't expose your players to a stream of generic villages on the journey to the adventure. And each locale also has adventure hooks, both for those within or passing through the village.
Despite the headline of the title, there aren't any formal "city" sized settlements in this book. This makes it quite likely that it will fall beneath the level of settlement that are typically given much attention in full sized settings. As such, it should be easy to use most of this material with most settings.
: Lack of Bookmarks. Though the book is 3.5, the psionics in it are not.
: Very Good

Book of Fiends
Green Ronin
Alan K.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 10/13/2005 00:00:00
The classic sourcebook on Demons and Devils, with an all new section on Daemons, creatures with plots revolving around sin (specifically the seven deadly sins). This last aspect makes them all the more convenient to write plots around or give PCs personal involvement. New material has also been added to the other sections, and two new core classes, the thaumaturge and unholy warrior, are included.
: Legions of Hell is an old standby section, and Hordes of Gehenna is a new favorite.
I especially appreciate that Green Ronin took the time to apply errata to the electronic version (in this case, psionics has been updated to the 3.5/XPH version; the hardcover was originally written to the old psionics handbook where it was used.)
: Armies of the Abyss still is not my favorite section. To much of the material is hentai-inspired or otherwise gross or silly in an attempt to be edgy by including references to sex, and continue this trend with new creatures added in this version. (Living demon semen? Nothankyou sir, not in my game...)

Honestly I brought this parfum when I was searching for an addition to my fragrance Lovely once the saleperson suggested I try this I couldn't resist it and strangely enough when I wear this fragrance I get compliments from women and men after walking pass me and say "what is that you're wearing or whatever you have on it smells so nice" I do have several fragrances and this is one of my most expensive but who could put a price on a defining scent!!!!!
Written by dsh on October 18, 2014
Read Review details ►Bottega Veneta is my signature fragrance. It's a one of a kind scent. I layer with the shower gel, and body oil. The body cream is excellent for Fall weather. My work day starts at 10 and ends at 8. I still receive compliments that I smell good after several hours.
Written by Ms Body Builder on October 13, 2014
Read Review details ►Beautifully Mature and pretty at the same time. I usually wear L'air de temps. Bottega Veneta (which is a name difficult to say), is a stronger scent still ok to wear anythime. It greatly reminds me of a fragrant from the old company "Charles of The Ritz," my grandmother always wore. It does have a little bit of a leathery scent, but do not be put off by that discription, because this is only a very small part of the scent. The other notes make it pretty and difficately not manly. It is a little too espensive, so I can not afford to wear it every day. It you are looking for something different, try this one.

Letter, Charles and Anna Mantinband to friends; December 1962 Transcript THE MANTINBAND MEGILLAH December 1962 The year is drawing to a close. How eventful it has been! We list a few items, not necessarily in the order of their importance, but as they occur to us. The new twin grandchildren, both to Edith and Bill in San Antonio, on December 1st. Brother and sister have been named Joel and Golda – adding great excitement to the three older brothers. Yes, these are the same parents who escaped a near-fatal motor accident several years ago. Our prolific progeny now include a total of nine grandchildren. We recall the 35-day Cruise aboard the Argentina, (built in Mississippi). We toured the Scandinavian countries during July and August. The story of our adventures appeared in eight installments in the Hattiesburg American. We shall never forget the Land of the Midnight Sun and our excursions through Norway, Sweden and Finland, to say nothing of the extraordinary experience behind the Iron Curtain. En route we managed some good theatre and ballet, in Stockholm, London, Leningrad and New York. After much heart-searching, now comes the decision to pack our "seiben sachen" and move to Texas, as of March 1st. Mississippi has become increasingly difficult to work in. The oil fields of Longview and Kilgore beckon. There is a growing Jewish community and a new congregation eager for spiritual leadership. A major consideration is the proximity to our children. Imagine being only sixty-five miles from Shreveport and Carol's growing family, and a hundred from Dallas, where Frank and Toni live. Withal, our work in Hattiesburg has proved most satisfying. We round out eleven years here. Many friends try to hold on to us, and this separation will not be without its difficulties. One expression of confidence by a congregant is a discretionary fund of $1000, to be disbursed outside the temple. Another, Rabbi's election as president of the Ministerial Association – the sole Jewish member of the group. We continue to serve the two local colleges, and participate in ever so many community ventures. Rabbi broke into print in half a dozen periodicals, and is in demand as a speaker. Everybody wants to hear The Mississippi Story. Professional business has taken him to Atlanta (Southern Regional Council), Philadelphia (Quaker group), and other areas of the country. A few honors, too, have come his way: Rabbi received the first Brussel Award of the Free Synagogue of New York, "for exceptional devotion to the causes of individual freedom and social justice in the spirit of the Hebrew Prophets". Lincoln University conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Human Letters. Glad to report that our health is good, our vitality tops, our energy abundant. Our lives are enriched by old associations. We welcome new friendships. 1963 looms full of promise. We shall try to avoid the braggadocio of the Lone Star State, but make no guarantees. Season's greetings, you-all.

Tulkas (Q: "strong, steadfast") (from the Valarin Tulukastāz) is a Vala. In Sindarin, his name is Tulcus. He is also called Astaldo (Q: "the Valiant"). He is the spouse of Nessa.
Tulkas was the most warlike of the Valar and the last of them to descend into Arda, coming to the aid of the others when he heard of their war with Melkor. Melkor fled before him, and the Spring of Arda was begun.
After the Two Lamps were erected and the Valar had made their first dwelling at Almaren, Tulkas wedded Nessa in a great feast. Being weary and content he slept, and Melkor decided his hour to retaliate had come.
Tulkas is described as delighting in wrestling and contests of strength. He wields no weapon, and rides no steed. As he cares little about either past or future, he is not a good councillor, but nonetheless a very hardy friend. He is described as being slow to wrath, but also slow to forgive—for that reason, he was one of the Valar that opposed the release of Melkor.
Tulkas also tends to be impatient; before the Awakening of the Elves he urged the other Valar to wage war against Melkor. After the Darkening of Valinor he also hurried Fëanor to take a decision about surrendering the Silmarils.

text: 127 min | R Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey stars in this true story of accidental AIDS activist Ron Woodroof, whose cross–border smuggling network brought much–needed treatments into the hands of HIV and AIDS patients neglected by the medical establishment. Directed by Jean–Marc Vallee (C.R.A.Z.Y.), DALLAS BUYERS CLUB is one of the most acclaimed films of 2013 for its tough portrayal of an imperfect man who bypassed the establishment and joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts — including a troubled drag queen played by Jared Leto in an Oscar winning performance

The 30-year-old man who died near the Bluffs area last week when his vehicle went over an embankment died from "major head injuries sustained at the time of the accident," after being partially ejected from his truck, according to the Mono County Coroner's office today.
Kevin Scott Green was visiting Mammoth at the time of the accident on Nov. 23. His home is in Summerland.
On Tuesday, November 23, the Mammoth Lakes Police were notified of a vehicle that was off the roadway in the vicinity of Le Verne and Fir Streets in the Bluffs area of Mammoth Lakes. Officers located a green Toyota Tacoma on its side approximately 100 feet down an embankment.
Due to the steepness of the terrain, deep snow, and near-whiteout conditions, the Mammoth Lakes Fire Department was called. Officers and paramedics discovered the body of Kevin Scott Green partially pinned under the truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The police department is investigating the circumstances of the traffic collision and Green's activities before the crash.
The last time he was seen alive was late Saturday evening.
It is speculated that sometime late Saturday or early Sunday, during heavy snow conditions, he missed the ninety-degree turn and drove off the roadway.
Anyone with information on the activities of Mr. Green or the circumstances of the traffic collision should contact Detective Doug Hornbeck at (760) 934-2011 ext. 17.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.
