Part human, part wolf, and part spirit they look like what humans think of as werewolves but are so much more. Though most come into the world as humans or wolves, that state does not last. Wolf-born gain a spark of human intelligence after their Change, while those born to humans must cope with the instincts of a hunter, and the burning need to be part of a pack. Those poor wretches born to two werewolves grow up never knowing any different, and that leaves them with a unique outlook on the world.

It also provides a look at what life is like for lupus and metis werewolves, characters who have had experiences alien to any person.

From the gambling dens and brothels of the East End, to the manufactories along the Thames, to the elegant shops of the high street and the fashionable residences of the West End, the great metropolis is laid out ready for exploration and adventure. The inner workings of British politics, the secrets of the Research and Development departments, and the machinations of the secret societies are laid out for the enterprising gamemaster to inflict upon their players. With this book, one could run an extensive campaign in the <strong><em>1879</em></strong> game world without ever leaving the Great Smoke!</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><strong><em>1879</em></strong> is a roleplaying game set in the late Victorian era of an alternate history, with low-level magic, high-level adventure, and vast possibilities as the Age of Steam gives way to the Age of Electricity. <strong><em>London, or The Haunted City</em></strong>, is the first gazetteer volume, detailing the home of the Rabbit Hole and the capital of the British Empire. <strong>Geography</strong> walks through every borough and provides game-ready locations and Adventure Hooks. <strong>Transportation</strong> covers not only how you get around in London, but how The Knowledge works. <strong>Communications</strong> deals with telegraphy, the Royal Mail, how the post and trains work together, and that new-fangled telephone device. <strong>Politics</strong> describes the governance of the British Empire, one of the primary industries in London. Everybody keeps track of the Royal Family, so there's a bit of a writeup on them in here. <strong>Criminals</strong> doesn't just talk about types of crime endemic to London. It discusses the law in relation to the sorts of activities player characters are likely to get up to. Further chapters include <strong>History</strong>, <strong>Business</strong>, <strong>Culture</strong>, and <strong>Magic</strong>. At the end is a complete adventure, <strong>Baby Boojum</strong>, in which a kidnapping goes hysterically wrong.</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]92264[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/229338/Festivals--High-Holy-Days?affiliate_id=384252" target="_blank">Festivals & High Holy Days</a></p> <p style="text-align: center">Pathfinder/d20 Supplement</p> <p style="text-align: center">By Skirmisher Publishing</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">Every calendar is peppered with holidays and annual causes for celebration. From local village festivals to grand revels that consume empires, no campaign setting is complete without holidays to mark the passage of time with jubilation and ritual observance.

SEVEN YEARS of FANTASY WEATHER gives you seven years of realistic weather for 2556 days. Each twelve-hour day or evening entry includes information on temperature (in Celcius and Fahrenheit) weather events - fog, thunderstorm, blizzard, etc. - amount of rainfall/snowfall, occurrence or possibility of lightning, wind speed, wind direction, phases of the moon, effect on movement rates and chance of getting lost. It's an almanac for the fantasy gamer. No more annoying die rolling or consulting an app or online program to generate a random or patternless result. With FANTASY WEATHER you can see all of it at a glance. Whether you're using Dungeons & Dragons 5e, an OSR retro-clone or any other current or past game or mechanic, this is the last word on weather for your roleplaying needs, This second volume simulates the weather patterns of Medieval Iceland and the climate described in the Sagas.

Part human, part wolf, and part spirit they look like what humans think of as werewolves but are so much more. Though most come into the world as humans or wolves, that state does not last. Wolf-born gain a spark of human intelligence after their Change, while those born to humans must cope with the instincts of a hunter, and the burning need to be part of a pack. Those poor wretches born to two werewolves grow up never knowing any different, and that leaves them with a unique outlook on the world. Beyond their fluid bodies and warrior’s minds, each Garou has the blessings of the spirit world that empowers their fight for Gaia. [B]Red in Tooth and Claw[/B] [B]Changing Ways[/B] is an in-depth look at what it means to be a werewolf, both on a personal level and as part of a pack. It digs deep into what it feels like to have bones re-knit after breaking, the range of senses available across all forms, and the sudden heady rush of the Gifts and Rites bestowed by spirits. It also provides a look at what life is like for lupus and metis werewolves, characters who have had experiences alien to any person. It shows the many ways that werewolves organize in packs, and how those packs are designed as groups of warriors, rather than aligned to the behavior of wolves. [B]Changing Ways[/B] contains:[/CENTER] [LIST] [*=center]A detailed look at what it means to grow up as a lupus or metis werewolf, and how that colors a character’s perspective.

It covers spaceship design, travel, and operations, along with a (mapless) space combat system. The ship design and operation rules in [B][I]GURPS Spaceships[/I][/B] are more abstract than those found in [B][I]GURPS Vehicle Design[/I][/B] or [B][I]GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars[/I][/B] . . . but they're [I]much[/I] faster, with a minimum of math and a maximum of colorful options. It takes only minutes to build even the largest spaceship . . . and wrapped around the design system are basic space travel and combat systems to get you into space right away. [B][I]GURPS Spaceships[/I][/B] doesn't include detailed finance, trade, or hex-grid based combat rules . . . but these are on the way! It's the core book in a series whose other volumes will present examples of ready-to-use spacecraft and comprehensive rules for commercial space flight, warfare, exploration, ports, industry, and other aspects of space travel. [B][I]GURPS Spaceships[/I][/B] requires only the [B][I]GURPS Basic Set,[/I][/B] but [B][I]GURPS Space[/I][/B] is highly recommended for its guidelines on stardrives, characters, campaigns, and settings.[/CENTER] Please note: Some of the links in the post above may be “affiliate links”.
