The Freight is a train in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Freight's locomotive (available only in a grey color) is based on an EMD SD40-2, while its flatbed cars are actually stripped down chassis of the locomotive; the flatbed cars have ample room to carry up to a full size car along with the player, making the train somewhat useful in travel. In addition to flatbed cars, game files reveal that a boxcar variant exists but remains unused in the game;[1] third party mods allow the player to pull these boxcars instead of the flatbeds.
The Freight itself is presumably loaded off the Freight Train Station in El Corona north of Unity Station, or at the Sobell Rail Yards. Like the Brown Streak, the Freight can be used to start delivery missions which are necessary to achieve 100% game completion.The train has some realistic effects, particularly the ability to derail it at high speeds. The train begins to shake above 190 km/h, at which speed it will derail upon turning. Also, if the train is pulling more flatbeds, its acceleration will decrease due to the added weight. Trains are immune to all forms of damage, including weapon damage, fire and any physical obstruction, however derailment will render them useless. There are no 1st/3rd person views when driving or traveling in the train, and the cinematic view mode is the only view available. Some third party trainers can offer different viewpoints.
Appearance in Missions
Although not making much appearance during the storyline, it has a prominent use in missions.
- A Freight train appears in the opening cutscene, forcing Pulaski to wait for it to pass.
- In the Ryder mission Catalyst, the player must steal weaponry from a Freight train. If the mission is failed before the train leaves, the weapons on the flatbed will disappear, though the Freight will remain locked.
- During the mission Snail Trail for Frank Tenpenny, the player is required to follow a Brown Streak train with a reporter on board, who is going to meet somebody. Freights can appear on the other track. Following them back to San Fierro will have them leave the track and fly over the dock.
- In the Truth mission Green Goo, the player is required to steal green goo from an Army Freight train.
- If the train's engine happens to end up in water, it will stay afloat indefinitely, with the sound of the engine audible above and below water. The player can climb atop the unsinkable engine as if it were a stationary platform, a testament to the train's indestructibility.
- If the faster cars cheat is enabled, the Freight will appear more often.
- If Freight missons are started and then canceled, the train will go into a 3rd person mode for a little bit, this also works with the Brown Streak.
- It's possible for the player to climb onto the flatbed and ride the train that way. The game remains in standard view mode throughout the ride.
- The Freight cannot be derailed while it is travelling through a covered and/or straight track, such as a tunnel. Because of this, it is not possible to derail the Freight in San Fierro.
- While playing in multiplayer, a player can lock onto any of the trains cars and see that there is health for each car. The health of the cars can be drained to zero but there is no effect of this at all, compared to normal vehicles that explode when at zero health.
- The way the player enters the locomotive is very unrealistic. On real EMD SD40-2 Units, you have to go through doors located on the front and rear of the cab.
- Although hard to notice, the number of railcars attached to the Freight does affect the acceleration and the length to entirely stop the train.
- The Freight featured in Green Goo has five flatcars attached to it. This is one of the two time's a five car Freight is seen, the other being the opening cut scene, with the most number of cars being four outside the mission and cutscene.
- When in 2-player mode on a console, if both players are in the locomotive, they can both control it. This applies to all controllable trains in the game.
- Saving a derailed Freight in a garage will crash the game when the door is reopened.
- The Freight returns to GTA V. It is seen in the second trailer of the game and a few screenshots.
There is a glitch were the player can drive the Freight in 3rd person perspective, as they would a normal vehicle. There are two locations that are easy to do this.
Los Santos
- Get to the 2-player Icon near the Johnson house.
- Head to Unity Station and wait for a Freight to appear.
- Player 2 needs to hijack the locomotive.
- Player 1 needs to remain stationary somewhere on the flatcars so they dont fall off the train.
- Press 'Select on the 2nd players controller.
San Fierro
- Do the same thing, except use the 2 player icon near the garage and go to Cranberry Station.
Please note that there is a rural area near Los Santos that Player 1 can fall off of the train. Use extra caution through here.
Grand Theft Auto V
In some of the GTA V trailers, trains that resemble Freight trains can be seen. They have arrowed lines on the front, that are very similar to those on the Freight trains in GTA San Andreas.

Customers who get their water from a Beaufort County town are being told to boil their water before using it today.
Aurora says a water leak prompted the boil water advisory. People using tap water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and for food preparation should boil that water for one minute.
The town says the advisory will remain until the leak is fixed and tests come back to show the water is free of bacteria.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting
Junior New Jersey linebacker Quanzell Lambert projects as one of the state's top prospects in the Class of 2012 if his offer list is any reliable indicator.The 6-foot-2, 230-pound prospect from Sicklerville (N.J.) Timber Creek had a stellar junior season this year, recording more than 100 tackles as one of the most active defensive players in the state.Timber Creek's season is over, aside from their Thanksgiving Day game, which is essentially an exhibition contest, and Lambert has positioned himself well for the next year of the recruiting process when things will really heat up."We lost in the playoffs yesterday," Lambert said. "In the first quarter the game was really close but our offense just couldn't get it clicking. Their offense got moving because our defense was on the field the majority of the time."I think we put our hearts into it (this season) but we could have done better. We had a lot of injuries so we had a lot of people filling in. They did a great job of coming in from the bench and moving over from different positions."Lambert played inside linebacker just about the entire season and that's where he projects for the college level.Iowa, Maryland, Rutgers and South Carolina have verbally offered the talented junior and he has already unofficially visited two of those schools."I've talked to a few coaches and I've got a few verbal offers still," he said. "I visited Rutgers for their game against North Carolina and I visited South Carolina before they offered me. I went down there with Damiere (Byrd) to look at the campus and everything."I loved both atmospheres. The campuses were great and the students welcomed me."Now that his season is over Lambert is hoping to take a trip to Pittsburgh with teammate Quinton Alston, who is committed to the Panthers. He would also like to make it down to South Carolina again soon."I'll probably go on a couple more trips to schools that are close to home so my parents can take me," he said.Lambert said he improved significantly from his sophomore season this year. He said his pursuit has improved, he is playing more aggressively, and he uses his hands more effectively in shedding blocks. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

I've been screwing around with giant snake and i think he makes a great tech unit in gowen. He is extremely situationally op.
Unfortunately there's no replay b/c saving battles seemed to have crapped out today along with the rest of the server.
Single copy with teleport girl and rasam ss.
Required cards:
Giant Snake: 1 copy
Regus Flying Apprentice: 1 copy
Rasam (Soul Skill): 1 copy
Where to use it:
Any mid gowen file, especially if you plan on getting 1 falkow through pullermia or stronghold. I personally went the stronghold route since the shade animus open is aggressive and gets trolled by very few opens while skip pullermia or buncle pullermia is just not quite as strong.
You do need 4 sphere to play him and 4 loose sp that turn. Rushes usually can't afford 4 sp banked on a unit to do one thing. Fortunately his action skill is only 1 sp so you won't be as stressed for sp as diondora.
How to use vs different files
Rush file: wait until they play a ranged unit. For dolls, mobility doll. For buncles diamond, agate, violet general. Trigger rasam ss, hit that ranged unit and one other. Play giant snake. Play flying girl to move the one not in row 2 to row 2. Use action skill to return.
Rushes generally have no way of dealing/countering this. If you've kept the pressure on, there should be no loose sp to counter anything.
Mids and bigs:
You can backlash the fire arrow to make sure snake survives.
Wrath gives -1 falkow, but try to time it (if you're going lawtia, you can use shades) so that there would be no loose sp to play wrath.
Hope overdose won't hit snake. I wouldn't engage the doll and leave it as the overdose bait (as you want them to kill the doll not the row 2 units). If you are going the lawtia route and pack an overdose, you can try to backlash.
Let me stress how good this unit is. If you have 1 unit in row 2 already (which is common), then snake with teleport and rasam returns 2 units. He also returns big units. Today out of my 4 matches, I hit:
1. giant arth
2. allind
3. ascrat
4. diamond and ruby general
For a rush file, you should hit 5-6 sp worth of units. For a mids file, you'll hit 4-8 depending on your luck. For a bigs file, well it's like a diondora. This unit here is as game transforming as a good turn with bitter destiny. And of course, this unit is a tech, a unit meant for 1 turn that is extremely good in some situations. You don't need it to be infallible since it's only taking up 1 slot. This strategy can be one of many that you can have in a single file. I hope to see more giant snakes in this game in the future.

Bromley finally break barren home run against Weston-super-Mare
10:36 05 April 2012
Struggling Lillywhites ease relegation fears in Blue Square Bet South
» After four consecutive home draws, Bromley ground out a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Weston-Super-Mare at Hayes Lane on Saturday to ease their relegation worries.
However, in keeping with their recent efforts, they made it hard for themselves after missing several chances in a game they dominated for long periods.
There was a chance at each end of the pitch in the opening minutes when Hakeem Araba headed Albert Jarrett's cross into the arms of goalkeeper Lloyd Irish in the third minute before Weston's Ben Kirk fired a free-kick narrowly over the bar.
Ali Fuseini volleyed just wide on 15 minutes from Jarrett's knock down, and the winger saw his cross-come-shot gathered by the goalkeeper a few minutes later.
A poor clearance from a defender fell at Fuseini's feet just inside the penalty area after 30 minutes, but his low, placed shot was finger tipped around the post for a corner.
From the set-piece, Tutu Henriques headed over from just three yards out and, despite the home side being in control, the scoreline remained blank at the interval.
Weston-super-Mare began the second half in strong fashion and might have gone ahead in the 48th minute when slack marking allowed the ball to run through to Dayle Grubb only for him to fire over from six yards.
Bromley's Anthony Thomas shot wide after wriggling his way into the penalty area before, moments later, the decisive goal finally came.
Fuseini – having received the ball from Pierre Joseph-Dubois – showed exceptional control under pressure from two defenders before coolly placing the ball across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
Bromley were denied a penalty after 73 minutes when Ben Cleverley appeared to handle Thomas's cross, but the official remained motionless.
With five minutes remaining, Weston stepped up a gear. Substitute, Marcus Doherty should have done better with a first time shot that trickled through to Bromley goalkeeper Joe Welch and Danny Waldren was lucky to escape a red card when he brought down Grubb as the last man.
Henriques followed into the referee's notebook in the last minute when he upended Sahr Kabba in full flight as win-shy Bromley appeared to lose their composure.
In a generous seven minutes of added on time, Weston put the hosts under immense pressure, forcing a number of corners and free-kicks in prominent positions.
From one such set-piece Hardwood did extremely well to clear Kirk's header off the line with an overhead kick before, with almost the last kick of the match, Chris Young's volley was brilliantly tipped over the bar by Welch to secure the vital points.
Bromley: Welch, Henriques, Patterson, Fuseini, Swaibu, Harwood, Joseph-Dubois, Waldren, Araba, Thomas (Malcolm, 82 mins), Jarrett (Jones, 78 mins). Subs not used: Taylor, Ibrahima, Williams.
n Beckenham Town recorded a 3-0 victory over fourth-placed Erith Town on Monday evening.
Goals from Jake Hobbs and Elstrom Die put them in control before half-time and Ben Slade completed the scoring two minutes from time. Becks were previously beaten 4-3 at Erith & Belvedere on Saturday.
They visit Woodstock Sports in the Kent League this weekend.

ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past four months.
Lancaster police records show 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh was taken to a mental hospital in September after threatening to kill his family and then commit suicide. Routh told authorities then that he was a Marine veteran who was suffering from PTSD.
The Dallas Morning News reports that police records show Routh was taken back to the same mental hospital in mid-January after a woman called police and said she feared for Routh's safety.
Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in Saturday's shooting deaths of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield.

may think that this heartfelt prayer has come down to us unchanged across
centuries to give an accurate picture of the terror that the Vikings inspired
in the Saxon people of England, but as evocative as it is, all of the
evidence points to a more modern source - the phrase was used in the introduction
of his book "The Vikings" by Johannes Brøndsted (Harmondsworth/Penguin,
1960), but there is no evidence for it before this time. Indeed, as the
knowledge of historians and archaeologists improves year by year, the
image of the Viking Age as a time of abrupt violence is becoming merely
a footnote, and the enormous cultural heritage of what is known as the
Viking Age is coming to the fore.

Each year, false alarms cost all of us millions of dollars and thousands of wasted man hours. The Peoria Police Department, as well as the security companies, must spend a significant amount of time and money responding to false alarms. You as the system user may also experience the inconvenience of false alarms and the assessment of fines. False alarms must concern each of us. They do not reduce crime and can cause a certain level of complacency among all concerned parties. They also increase the liability and endanger the safety and welfare of the public, responsible parties, and responding agencies.

That planet top middle looks a little wierd. You may need to scrap that one!
The only thing I would say in criticism is that aside from the one small planet they are not varied enough in size. Also the planet bottom left the features seem a little too big. Maybe a candidate for size reduction.
Nice start, I look forward to the rest.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - IPFW men's volleyball head coach Arnie Ball will return to the Volleydons season next season.
Ball tells 21Alive on Tuesday that he plans to coach one more season--his 35th at IPFW--before stepping down.

But at the request of new IPFW athletic director Kelley Hartley Hutton, Ball decided to return.
Ball has amassed 551 career wins and 6 NCAA tournament appearances.
Ball says he hopes to have some input on the head coach who will succeed him, but understands its ultimately IPFW's decision.

text: No matter how many millions of dollars have been raised on the PGA Tour for worthy charities across the USA and the noble First Tee programs, the game of golf is and always will be defined by its inability to change. This week, the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio is the PGA stop that honors one of the legends of the game. Raymond Floyd is the honoree, Jack Nicklaus is the host, and yes, Tiger Woods is in the field. Woods has again been victimized by the inability of the game to move away from its racist foundation. I refer to the flap between Tiger and Sergio Garcia that started three weeks ago at the Players Championship. Continue Reading →

Eulogy for Tony Amato by Liz Hastings
My opera friends know who Tony Amato was. My rock friends might not, but I can assure you that almost all of them know there was a little tiny opera house next to CBGBs. My comrade in song, Liz Hastings, gave this eulogy at his funeral. I asked her permission to publish it here, as I thought it would be not only a great tribute to the maestro, but also a window for my fellow rockers into that little opera world next door.
Eulogy Delivered at Tony's Funeral
I'm Liz Hastings. Of the sixty plus years that the Amato Opera existed, I sort of fall in the middle generation. From 1973 to 1986 I played the piano, and eventually, conducted at Tony's. Yes, that's what we called it; Tony's. It was Tony's opera company. "What's coming up?" "Oh, I have a Bohème at Tony's."
While many people predate me there, I'm quite sure there were people in that last show in 2009 who hadn't been born yet when I played my last show.
I auditioned for Tony, straight out of college. I wasn't particularly an "opera person", but Lois Dunton – I swear only later did she become "Lois Ann" – said that Tony Amato was always looking for pianists.
I called to see if I could audition. "Amato Opera", a voice said. Certain that I was speaking to a woman, I asked if I could speak to Mr. Amato. A hearty laugh followed. "I'm Mr. Amato. Call me Tony."
He must have liked me, because he didn't make me sight-read the Ballatella, a piece, he later confided, he would throw at pianists if he wanted to get rid of them. I got off easy…Voi che sapete.
He only used piano and organ in those days. New pianists were not entrusted with playing the piano scores until they had played for a semester or two of his classes.
Oh, the classes…
You guys that came later on…you have no idea what you missed. He would do eight weeks of classes of three operas – Monday would be Rigoletto, Tuesday would be Faust, and Wednesday would be Magic Flute. I remember that Cav and Pag were particularly daunting for me, and after those classes, Tony would take me upstairs and give me a little glass of something with an Italian name that made me feel better and got rid of my Verismo jitters.
Once the classes were up and running, different people would be called upon to get up and do different scenes from week to week, but at the first class, everybody sang. You haven't lived until you've heard eight Lucias sing through the Mad Scene, all at the same time.
I did my first everything there. It would have been a wonderful experience just to play through all those scores with a cast of singers each week, but to be the recipient of Tony's knowledge while doing so was an extraordinary privilege. To this day I have colleagues in the business who were never really exposed to all that stuff that comes in between the arias; you know…the opera.
He knew all there was to know about opera and gave of his knowledge with generosity and unflagging enthusiasm. He rehearsed the music, dictated the staging, taught sword fighting (something about a couple of figure eights and a final thrust). He knew about the musical style, the period, the history, the original sources; name it.
He showed the tenor how to wipe Mimi's face so it wouldn't get a laugh…
The contract scene in Lucia – Enrico is commanding her to write; "Scrivi" – the Lucias are over-eager to sing "La mia condan…" – "Uh! Uh! It's a LONG name!"…(writing "L-U-C-I-A D-I L-A-M-M-E-R-M-O-O-R" in the air)
Butterfly – Now the minute the baby comes out on stage I make sure he's facing upstage.
Azucena's hair pulling was never more convincing than when Tony demonstrated.
Butterfly's entrance never had as much delicacy, as when he did it.
Years later I would call him up with questions; "Tony, tell me again why it's midnight in Ballo but the clock only strikes 6 times"…
He always insisted he had no sense of humor, and in fact he never "got" jokes, but comedy – now that was another matter. Does anyone remember his Alfred in Fledermaus, and of course his waiter in Bohème? (That's not even a real character!) I know that there must have been other people on stage but I really didn't notice.
One of the first shows I played there was Fledermaus. After the rehearsal Tony said "I'll see you tomorrow." I didn't understand why a rehearsal was needed the next night. I thought things had gone rather well. Well, the next night we took it from the top with a WHOLE 'NOTHER CAST.
And that's when I realized what made Tony different from other people who put on opera. I got it. I had learned the secret handshake.
Tony liked to make you better. If you got really, really good, maybe even famous, well that was fine, but wasn't really the point.
Tony was proud and happy to provide an environment that fostered triumphs of all sizes. Could anyone's life be devoted to anything more important and enriching?
Making operas affordable for families and making the stories understandable to children was of enormous importance to Tony. He did the Operas in Brief at Town Hall, and took shows into schools before "outreach" had come into the lexicon. And of course, the intimate theater on the Bowery was the ideal place for children (or even grownups) to experience their first opera.
Tony and Sally had no children, but did have an extended family…
The Goddammits.
They are a wide-ranging tribe and wear their name proudly, like a medal.
Possibly you remember Bernie Goddammit, or Shaffer Goddammit, Konnie Goddammit, Ricky Goddammit, Sadler Goddammit. I'm pretty sure there was a Boney Goddammit. I myself joined the family when I married Nathan Goddammit. I would like to think that there is another generation of them since my time.
But the mother of them all was…Sally Goddammit. Sally…
Those who were fortunate enough to know Sally were lucky indeed. She and Tony put their blood, sweat and tears into the Amato Opera as equal partners. Married for over 50 years, she and Tony spent almost every waking hour together, be it at work or at home, and they thrived on it. Tony missed her
terribly after her death in 2000 and referred to her always as "my dear Sally".
His memoirs are imbued with her name and her spirit.
Amato: A Love Affair with Opera.
This remarkable couple inspired a movie about their love, and their dedication to opera. I don't see anyone rushing out to do the same for James Levine and Peter Gelb.
When I was asked to do this, I looked up the word "eulogy", and it said, in part, "A speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly" and I realized that I have been eulogizing Tony Amato since 1973.
I searched for the words to describe him; warm, passionate, generous, imaginative, kind, honest. Wouldn't the Boy Scouts like this? Wait!…That's it!
Tony was Trustworthy.
Tony had a teaching style that was all his own. He told the truth – "Your French stinks!" He was honest – "Your Italian stinks!" And he kept his promises. – "I'll give you a part in The Magic Flute. It's in English".
Tony was Loyal.
He was loyal to the singers under his watch, and promoted them from within the ranks when he felt they were worthy. They in turn were deeply loyal to him.
Tony was Helpful.
It is now about 30 years ago that I had to learn Tosca in a hurry. I was to be the Music Director for a production with a small opera company. "Tony, I don't know Tosca". "Come in at 4 o'clock", he said. In one amazing hour he gave me tempos, rubato, a little trivia ("La do…" – ask me later) and the staging for the end of Act II in case it ever came in handy. It did. He would of course take no money for the session.
Tony was Friendly. Tony was a friend to all. He was friendly to his singers, to the bums outside, and to the fire department with their surprise inspections.
Tony was Courteous.
He treated everyone with respect, and in turn was adored.
That made him very hard to say no to. Ask anyone who was tempted to try. Tony could charm the pants off the most obstreperous patron, and did just that when the occasion arose.
Tony was Kind.
Tony was Obedient.
He didn't need to be. He was the boss. He was the director and the
conductor, and they never, ever argued.
Tony was Cheerful.
Almost unfailingly.
Tony was Thrifty.
Who else would put instant coffee in the urn? He recycled before it was fashionable. Every schedule was printed on the back of something else. In 1988 we went to see Tony conduct "Lo Schiavo" which he did at Marymount Manhattan College. We commented on the elegance of the theater and then looked into the pit, where we could see tin foil used as shades on the stand lights. He was the master of "jerry rigging". Nothing got thrown out if it could still be useful…for something. I think he felt the same way about the people in the company.
Tony was Brave.
I can remember more than once when he had to evict some Bowery denizen sleeping by the front of the door. Where others might have been timid he merely did what he needed to do for the sake of his theater.
Tony was Clean.
During my time there I can remember coming in for more than one Saturday rehearsal and finding him cleaning the bathrooms and mopping the floor. Nothing was beneath him if it was something that needed to be done. In a larger sense he was a catalyst in the slow and steady cleaning of the whole neighborhood around the theater.
Tony was Reverent.
Tony revered Mozart; Verdi…He didn't need gimmicks or updates. What the composer and librettist wrote was quite enough, and worthy of respect.
Tony was Unique.
On Tuesday, I didn't cry when I heard that he was gone, but I got strangely emotional playing my first coaching of the day, and I realize that he's still here.
He's right here in my head, sometimes counting, sometimes singing, maybe muttering something naughty in Neapolitan.
"O il…gentil…pensier…" [Traviata] DEAD VOICE, MIMI, DEAD VOICE [Bohème]
"If I rush you" STEP STEP [Falstaff]
He's in my musical DNA.
I never thought Tony would die like regular people… I was quite sure he would be on the podium and his last words would be directed to the poor soul who had just missed a light cue – E Master, E Master… Or that against all advice he would be up on the ladder – remember Tony on the ladder, changing light bulbs in the chandelier?…and would take that one heart-stopping step into Valhalla.
But no – underneath the magnetism and magic, he was alarming mortal.
But oh so wonderful, so wise, so warm, so patient, and so generous. We will miss him.
We love you Tony. We will never forget you.

My favourite is High Fantasy, with Science-Fantasy as a close second.
Vote: you can choose as many options as you like. Genre and magic will be counted separately.
Fantasy: magic is common and generally accepted* Keep in mind that this list is non-exhaustive and of course it's also possible to mix the genres
-Dark fantasy (not horror) close to horror but different,. Horror emphasis on fear while dark fantasy emphasis on despair (The Brothers Grimm, Van Helsing or the Witcher)
-Fairytale or light fantasy: not as tragic as the dark fantasy but no need to be funny (Shrek, the discworld)
-High fantasy/heroic : in another world with an epic character or story (Lord of the ring)
-Low fantasy : often in real world is generally humoristic or horrific (Conan the barbarian ?)
Science fiction: technology or social engineering is the central element
-Post (apocalyptic) : after the destruction of civilization (Fallout 3, 28 Days Later, the last of us)
-Cyberpunk: emphasis on artificial intelligence and cybernetics or transhumanism (Deus ex, Brave new world, Shadowrun)
-Hard (obey to a complex system and/or based on real technology knowledge ( Isaac Asimov)
-Soft (fringe science) an approximate conception of science
-Steampunk: emphasis on steam-powered devices with anachronisms and future technologies incorporated into the Victorian era (Final fantasy 9, Eberron, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells)
Science fantasy: mix of science fiction and fantasy (most of the Final fantasy games)
Fantastique: magic is uncommum and the unknown generate fear so it's similar to horror but not always( H.P. Lovecraft, Guy de Maupassant,Edgar Allan Poe)
Alternate reality or alternate history if its on Earth: no magic, same physic but with a different political/cultural background (Batman)
Gurps and Traveller have already made a classification :
Tech Level Comparison Chart - Traveller
Traveller: Technology level - Traveller
Gurps: Tech Level - GURPS Wiki
*Its also possible to mix eras and have anachronisms just like most of the Final Fantasy games
Magic ?
No magic: real life
Low magic: it is rare, only a few know how it work (Game of thrones, Star Wars, mutants?)
Common magic: you can go to Waterdeep to buy magical goods (Forgotten realms, Harry Potter)
Even more magic: other planes of existence (dungeon and dragon: Sigil), the whole society is based on magic and without it, it is doomed.
So, what is your favorite setting ?

My favourite is High Fantasy, with Science-Fantasy as a close second.
My: maps ~ mapping freebies ~ mapping contests
Mid Fantasy, era 1600 Earth (plate armour, really basic gunnes, horse calvary, castles)
Low to Common Magic
with Steampunk/sci-fi elements al la 1800 earth (Trains, ships and airships pretty much)
Possible post apocalypse with reversing technology (could explain the steampunk/sci-fi stuff still being around)
I like steampunk and fantasy and I think it could be interesting to mix them in a middle age/renaissance setting, but fantasy would be great too. One thing we need is something to make the world feel unique.
Anyone else ?

In terms of cooperative world building, I am fond of renaissance fantasy settings (like my own ) and alternate reality settings like one I used to participate in. Just my own personal opinion.
I prefer the level of technology to be set either very low (definitely pre-gunpowder/steam era) OR high-tech futuristic to the point where it begins to look borderline fantastic. There's also the option of going for WEIRD technology, with things working in wildly different ways from reality.
- Member of The Campaign Builder's Guild
- My tutorials: How to make a roll of parchment graphic in GIMP
I make use of Wag's mountain brushes.
Ok so what I'm getting so far is generally more high fantasy and pre-gunpowder technology set in a medieval to renaissance era. I'd be happy to go with that. When I think of that I think along the lines of AD&D, or Jack Vance or Conan (if it was wholly in the dark ages for Conan though) sort of worlds. What level of magic does that imply? I tend to think of big magic thats essence is inaccessible to the general/uninitiated/trained population but wholly available for the right kind of cash. And also natural magic for many limited populations of people, creatures or beings.
Any ideas towards Azelor's worthwhile suggestion for something unique to set the world apart?
Gunpowder was used before the beginning of the Renaissance. As for the magic, I would prefer an easy access for some that know how to use it. And also accessible for the others via items or by paying a mage.
By natural magic I suppose you mean those spell-like abilities, like the firebreath of the dragon ?
Yes, gunpowder was used pretty early, but doesn't need to be included in a fantasy Renaissance era, which is why it should be dealt with separately.
Yeah thats what I meant with all the magic, just not as well expressed. Natural magic would also include humans with innate magical gifts as well. And faeries and the like.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
BOSTON -- A Massachusetts fisherman has caught a creepy-looking lobster that's colored to match Halloween.
The New England Aquarium says the 1-pound female lobster has an orange side and a black side, with the colors split perfectly down the middle.

Marine officials say such coloration is estimated to occur once in every 50 million lobsters.
The fisherman who caught the seasonally colored crustacean in a trap last week is from Beverly, a seaside community 20 miles northeast of Boston.
The rare lobster is known as a split. Aquarium officials said Wednesday splits have been caught in Maine, Rhode Island and Nova Scotia in the last 10 years.

A 53-year-old Dolores man accused of starting a wildfire that prompted evacuations in southwest Colorado has pleaded not guilty.
The Cortez Journal reports Roger Stratton appeared in court Thursday on a felony charge of fourth-degree arson. His trial is scheduled for June 3.
The Roatcap Fire burned more than 400 acres and prompted evacuations of about 30 homes in Montezuma County after it started Oct. 24.
Sheriff Dennis Spruell has said the fire wasn't set intentionally, but was done so carelessly and put authorities and residents in danger. Stratton is accused of burning leaves on his property when the wind caused the fire to spread out of control.
No structures were lost.

Monday November 12, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Panthers coach Ron Rivera says he has fired special teams coordinator Brian Murphy after the team gave up a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown to Trindon Holliday in Sunday's 36-14 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Rivera has promoted assistant special teams coach Richard Rodgers to coordinator. Rodgers, in his first season in Carolina, was a college teammate of Rivera's at Cal.
Rivera says the decision was made because of "philosophical differences and productivity."
The Panthers (2-7) gave up three punt returns for touchdowns last season but Murphy kept his job. The latest snafu, which gave the Broncos a 14-7 in the second quarter and turned the momentum of the game, proved to be his undoing.
Rivera says he's also disappointed in the team's performance on kickoff returns.
