Download or read book The Fantasy Role Playing Game written by Daniel Mackay and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of today's hottest selling games--both non-electronic and electronic--focus on such elements as shooting up as many bad guys as one can (Duke Nuk'em), beating the toughest level (Mortal Kombat), collecting all the cards (Pokemon), and scoring the most points (Tetris). Fantasy role-playing games (Dungeons & Dragons, Rolemaster, GURPS), while they may involve some of those aforementioned elements, rarely focus on them. Instead, playing a fantasy role-playing game is much like acting out a scene from a play, movie or book, only without a predefined script. Players take on such roles as wise wizards, noble knights, roguish sellswords, crafty hobbits, greedy dwarves, and anything else one can imagine and the referee allows. The players don't exactly compete; instead, they interact with each other and with the fantasy setting. The game is played orally with no game board, and although the referee usually has a storyline planned for a game, much of the action is impromptu. Performance is a major part of role-playing, and role-playing games as a performing art is the subject of this book, which attempts to introduce an appreciation for the performance aesthetics of such games. The author provides the framework for a critical model useful in understanding the art--especially in terms of aesthetics--of role-playing games. The book also serves as a contribution to the beginnings of a body of criticism, theory, and aesthetics analysis of a mostly unrecognized and newly developing art form. There are four parts: the cultural structure, the extent to which the game relates to outside cultural elements; the formal structure, or the rules of the game; the social structure, which encompasses the degree and quality of social interaction among players; and the aesthetic structure, concerned with the emergence of role-playing as an art form.

Download or read book Pudge written by Doug Wilson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pudge marks the first biography of the Hall of Fame catcher, whose famous home run in the 1975 World Series has been called one of the greatest moment in the history of televised sport. Carlton Fisk retired having played in more games and hit more home runs than any other catcher before him. A baseball superstar in the 1970s and 80s, Fisk was known not just for his dedication to the sport and tremendous plays but for the respect with which he treated the game. A homegrown icon, Fisk rapidly became the face of one of the most storied teams in baseball, the Boston Red Sox of the 1970s. As a rookie making only $12,000 a year, he became the first player to unanimously win the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1972, upping both his pay grade and national recognition. Fisk's game-winning home run in Game Six of the hotly-contested 1975 World Series forever immortalized him in one of the sport's most exciting televised moments. Fisk played through an epic period of player-owner relations, including the dawn of free agency, strikes, and collusions. After leaving Boston under controversy in 1981, he joined the Chicago White Sox, where he played for 12 more major league seasons, solidifying his position as one of the best catchers of all time. Doug Wilson, finalist for both the Casey Award and Seymour Medal for his previous baseball biographies, uses his own extensive research and interviews with childhood friends and major league teammates to examine the life and career of a leader who followed a strict code and played with fierce determination.

Book excerpt: Nicolette Thorne had $180,000 reasons to get the hell out of Savannah, Georgia. Stealing drug money wasn't the smartest thing she'd ever done but she was desperate and its owner was burning in the darkest pit of hell; he wouldn't be needing it. The way Nici saw it, all those years of putting up with Jackson and Tyree’s shit, she deserved the money and she had every intention of making a good life for her and her son, Landon. When David Morales, her son's biological father, suggested they move to Atlanta with he and his Fiancée, Nici jumped at the chance. She wanted David and Landon to bond and after Leila's little threat, Nici was determined to win David back. He was hers and always would be, that bitch didn't stand a chance. Moving to Atlanta seemed to be the answer to Nici's prayers. Still, every once in a while, she couldn't help but look over her shoulder. Her greatest fear was that the 250 miles she put between her and her past, wouldn't be enough.
Download or read book The Wildest Game written by Daniel P. Mannix and published by eNet Press. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Ryhiner — hero, adventurer, and romantic — was one of the world's most active wild animal collectors. Born in Basel, Switzerland, on January 1, 1920, Peter knew by the time he was eight years old that he wanted to be a naturalist and explorer — and thought about nothing else. His parents listened to him with good natured amusement, but were not so amused when his interests caused him to flunk out of two schools and precipitated his expulsion from a third for truancy. Eventually, throwing up their hands in frustration, his family cut off his funds, and Peter had to use all his ingenuity to figure out how to continue collecting and studying animals — including breeding and developing unusual strains of mice, taming adders, and holding tortoise races. By the age of twenty, after a brief stint in the calvary during WW II and some time spent working for Geigy, a Swiss chemical company, he and an associate from Geigy's began importing animals as a side venture and Peter was soon launched in the animal business. His journeys led him around the globe, straight through Europe, South America, Africa and Asia, where he captured and sold thousands of animals to zoos and wildlife parks. His adventures were astonishing — trampled, crushed, chased, bitten, and almost drowned — the animals he sought not only provided Peter with a lucrative, though unpredictable, career, but repeatedly inspired a greater and greater curiosity and love for the wild animals of the world. Peter Ryhiner rarely carried a gun, his intention was not to harm but to study and learn and to educate others, and, in fact, he was a man with a vision well ahead of his time. As his success grew he was sought as a lecturer and made many television appearances. Soon, however, currency restrictions, conservation laws, regulations against importing or exporting many species, and transportation costs took their toll. Although increased awareness and protection of wild animals was desperately needed, new laws and higher costs meant that Peter Ryhiner and other wild animal collectors of the time gradually faded into oblivion.

Download or read book Star Wars in Context written by Nader Elhefnawy and published by Nader Elhefnawy. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often hear about the inspirations for and impact of Star Wars, but most of the discussion tends to be vague, cursory--and ill-informed. STAR WARS IN CONTEXT aims to do better, explaining and in cases debunking what others tend to just assume. This second edition of the book, over twice the length of the original, not only updates the discussion but expands on it, covering such questions as: * How did George Lucas's earlier films (THX 1138, American Graffiti) lead to Star Wars? * In what ways did Akira Kurosawa's films, Joseph Campbell, Bruno Bettelheim, Carlos Castaneda and the James Bond movies actually influence the films' creation? * Where did the idea of the Force come from, and why does it seem so vague and slippery? (As it happens, Castaneda had a lot to do with it.) * Why did fans react so strongly against the prequels, and then become so much more accepting of them later? * What part did Star Wars actually play in creating the movie blockbuster and film market as we now know it? Going from Modernism to the globalization of the entertainment industry, from New Age mysticism to journalistic poptimism in its search for the answers, STAR WARS IN CONTEXT sets the record straight on all this, and much more.
