Download or read book The Quintessential Rogue written by Michael Mearls and published by Mongoose Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second in Mongoose Publishing's acclaimed series of class books, The Quintessential Rogue provides a wealth of new options and rules anyone player who loves playing a more subtle character. In previous editions of the game, rogues occupied a narrow niche as thieves, burglars, or footpads. Now, with the advent of the d20 system, the rogue covers a huge array of spies, scouts, explorers, and other exciting new roles. The Quintessential Rogue examines this new definition of rogues in detail. Weighing in at 128 pages, The Quintessential Rogue is crammed with new options, new rules, and exciting new twists to existing game mechanics. Character Concepts: A Rogue is far more than a sneaky, greedy robber. Through the use of the templates provided within Character Concepts, a player can give his Rogue an entire history and personality quickly and easily. Law and Order: No matter what his nature, a Rogue needs to keep an eye on the law. Find rules on summarising the local guard in a simple stat block and learn how to determine just how far the arm of the law reaches. Tricks of the Trade: Skills are the Rogue's lifeblood. Learn how to take what you know and apply it in completely different ways. All of the Rogue class skills are broken down and given new uses. The Prestige Rogue: No two Rogues are alike. The Crusading Footpad strikes evil where it hurts: right in the wallet. The Executioner flits in and out of the tightest guarded fortresses, leaving a trail of victims in his wake whilst the Vigilante takes the law into his own hands. Tools of the Trade: A Rogue's quick wit and fast feet are enough to get him out of most spots, but when that fails he needs the weapons, armour, and new items detailed here. Hideouts: From the fearless spy to the most successful criminal, every Rogue needs a place where he can lay low. Hire a wizard to cast some illusions on your home. Establish a hidden base in the city sewers. Invest in a simple cottage that doubles as a stout fortress. Learn how to keep your enemies from trailing you back home. Reputation: A Rogue's name is one of his best weapons. His reputation precedes him and smoothes many bumps in his road. Catch a bad rep? No problem. Don a mask, invent an alias, and start all over again. By day, you're an upstanding noble. By night, you're the Rooftop Bandit, terror of the noble quarter. Laws of the Night: While the town guard patrols the streets by day, the thieves guild keeps their watch at night. Learn just what thieves do to those who try to muscle in on their turf. Rules cover how to determine how aggressive and tough the local rogues are and allow you to summarise them within a simple stat block. Thieves Guilds and Other Organisations of Ill Repute: Surround yourself with eager underlings and like-minded allies. Expand your operations to cover a wide range of new opportunities. Why rob a single house when you can shake down an entire neighbourhood for protection money? Extend your Rogue's capabilities and establish him as an important power player in the local scene. Not a rogue? Then learn how to establish your own spy ring, assassin's brotherhood, outlaw band, or any other organisation that works beneath the prying eye of the law.

Download or read book Rogue Regime written by Jasper Becker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a dictator wins absolute power and isolates a nation from the outside world? In a nightmare of political theory stretched to madness and come to life, North Korea's Kim Jong Il made himself into a living god, surrounded by lies and flattery and beyond criticism. As over two million of his subjects starved to death, Kim Jong Il roamed between palaces staffed by beautiful girls and stocked with expensive international delicacies. Outside, the steel mills shut down, the trains stopped running, the power went out, and the hospitals ran out of medicine. When the population threatened to revolt, Kim imposed a reign of terror, deceived the United Nations, and plundered the country's dwindling resources to become a nuclear power. Now this tiny bankrupt nation is using her nuclear capability to blackmail the United States. Veteran correspondent Jasper Becker takes us inside one of the most secretive countries in the world, exposing the internal chaos, blind faith, rampant corruption, and terrifying cruelty of its rulers. Becker details the vain efforts to change North Korea by actors inside and outside the country and the dangers this highly volatile country continues to pose. This unique land, ruled by one family's megalomania and paranoia, seems destined to survive and linger on, a menace to its own people and to the rest of the world. But should the nations of the world allow this regime to survive? That's the question with which this book concludes.

Download or read book The Hard Stuff written by Wayne Kramer and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first memoir by Wayne Kramer, legendary guitarist and cofounder of quintessential Detroit proto-punk legends The MC5 "Voyeuristically dramatic." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW In January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, the MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, the band was a reflection of the times: exciting, sexy, violent, chaotic, and even out of control. The missing link between free jazz and punk rock, the MC5 toured the country, played alongside music legends, and had a rabid following, their music acting as the soundtrack to the blossoming blue collar youth movement. Kramer wanted to redefine what a rock 'n' roll group was capable of, and though there was power in reaching for that, it was also a recipe for personal and professional disaster. The band recorded three major label albums but, by 1972-it was all over. Kramer's story is (literally) a revolutionary one, but it's also the deeply personal struggle of an addict and an artist, a rebel with a great tale to tell. From the glory days of Detroit to the junk-sick streets of the East Village, from Key West to Nashville and sunny L.A., in and out of prison and on and off of drugs, Kramer's is the classic journeyman narrative, but with a twist: he's here to remind us that revolution is always an option.

Download or read book America and the Rogue States written by T. Henriksen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America and the Rogue States traces and examines the policies and interaction of the United States with the main adversarial nations in the post-Cold War era. The book concentrates on the three major rogue states-North Korea, Iran, and pre-invasion Iraq. What are termed as lesser rogue nations-Libya, Syria, Cuba, and the Sudan-receive summarized treatment in one chapter together with a brief discussion about why Afghanistan and Venezuela are not rogues. The author makes clear the distinctions among these confrontational regimes, noting that North Korea, Iran, and Saddam Hussein's Iraq aroused much more anxiety in Washington than lesser rogues and other troublesome states. After an opening chapter placing the rogue-nation phenomenon in historical and current context, the manuscript devotes one chapter each to the three major adversarial rogues. A final chapter deals with the less threatening rogue regimes. Each chapter follows a chronological format with description and analysis. The work is intended for a general reader interested in the topic; it also will have appeal as a supplemental text for university classes in international relations covering the period after the Cold War ended.
