Back to the top of the page or back to RPGs in General. So, why RPGs RPGs are, for me, one of the most interesting and fun activities out there. When you read a book, you are forced to go along with the authors storyline you cant tell the main character not to open that crypt or hit that big red button. Tabtight professional, free when you need it, VPN service. In RPGs, though, you have exactly that kind of control. And RPGs can, in many ways, be more immersive than reading a book through immediate, face to face interaction, you can experience things with an immediacy that books never approach. Even computer games cant approach the infinite possibilities and social depth in face to face, pen and paper RPGs. Here are some things of general interest about RPGs RPG. I hang out on the forums there quite a bit. Its quite a community almost entirely gamer geeks, of many stripes, but generally intelligent and nice. En. World probably has the biggest RPG forums out there, but its pretty much all D2. D D. The Forge has a lot of rather abstruse theory about RPGs, but theyve produced some of the most innovative and coolest games out there. If I subscribed to an RPG magazine, itd be Pyramid. Back to the top of the page or back to Hard science science fiction role playing games Hard SF has been one of my main interests in RPGs for many years now. Im not sure why, but I think its because I like my SF to specifically concern itself with the ways that technology will change our lives in the future, and because I like fiction that doesnt throw believability out the window. My favorite SF RPGs, and some sites about them, are listed below. Blue Planet. This RPG is probably one the better designed backgrounds of anything available sort of the Hrn of SFRPGs. The authors ideas, particularly about biology and ecological issues, are excellent. Their care and consistency in designing Blue Planet is evident everywhere. Blue Planet has been published in two versions the first by Biohazard Games, the second under license by Fantasy Flight Games. War Of The Dead Rpg Pdf Torrents' title='War Of The Dead Rpg Pdf Torrents' />The main difference is the game system the first edition was percentile based, while the second has a D1. To be honest, I dont particularly like either editions game system, but I do prefer the second edition. If you want to buy the game for its setting, which is by far its biggest selling point, either edition will work. Some Blue Planet sites The site of Bio. Hazard Games. The creators and owners of Blue Planet, Bio. Hazard Games seems to be very interested in quality. Their site is very high quality, as well. A very good Blue Planet fan site, Bleue Planete. This is a site primarily organized in French, but many of the sites pointed to are in English. The site is also quite pretty. There is also an English version, and while it hasnt been updated recently, the current site has no English version at all. ADCreated by the now defunct Game Designers Workshop, 2. AD has an excellent star spanning background with a definite hard SF feel. My own SF background, Spheres, was partially inspired by 2. AD. Far and away the best 2. AD page is Pentapods World, which contains vast amounts of information, both game mechanics related and general. Etranger is all about the military forces of 2. AD. It features, among other things, amazing 3. D starship illustrations by Laurent Esmiol. Andy Slacks 2. 30. AD page has a ton of cool stuff for the game. A lot of it could be adopted for use in other hard SF games, too. He has another page with a lot of other cool things for 2. AD and other games. The rest of the site seems to be down, but theres a page with some very nice maps of the colonies in 2. AD. Jovian Chronicles. Jovian Chronicles, by Dream Pod 9, is one of the best hard SF games out there. Its set in the year 2. Solar System but fragmented into large coalitions, largely around a planetary framework Mercury is its own rich nation, Earth and the Jovian colonies are the main superpowers, etc. The tech level definitely puts it in the ranks of hard SF no FTL, no aliens well, almost, no artificial gravity just realistically projected computers, drives, etc. There are mecha, and they dont really make much sense, but theyre easy to ignore. The background theyve written for the various societies is really excellent and detailed, the vehicle design system is nearly perfect, and the art and feel is great. The game system is also pretty good, both fast and gritty in feel. If I were to run an SF game using a published setting, it would probably be Jovian Chronicles. The main site for Jovian Chronicles is Dream Pod 9s own site theyre the publishers of the game. The Dream Pod 9 Forum has a section devoted to Jovian Chronicles, and it looks pretty active. Vector. Sphere is the homepage of Marc A. Vezina, one of the main designers of Jovian Chronicles. His page has all kinds of nifty things. Ghislain Barbe, the lead artist for Jovian Chronicles, also has a nifty site. The Jovian APAworks was an Amateur Press Association APA devoted to Jovian Chronicles. Lots of interesting articles there. Algebra 2 Programs For Ti 84 Software. Other SFRPGs. Those three RPGs are the main ones. There are several others that Im strongly interested in, though High Colonies. Designed by Eric Hotz, the excellent artist for much of Hrn. Master and Hrn. World, and Edwin King. The game mechanics werent terribly inventive at all the authors used the same basic combat system, for example, as Mercenaries, Spies and Private Eyes, which I think was based on Tunnels and Trolls, one of the first RPGs but I like the setting.

The IranIraq War was an armed conflict between Iran and Iraq lasting from 2. September 1. 98. 0, when Iraq invaded Iran, to 2. August 1. 98. 8. The war followed a long history of border disputes, and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1. Iraqs Shiite majority, as well as Iraqs desire to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf state. Iraq planned to annex the oil rich Khuzestan Province and the east bank of the Shatt al Arab Arvand Rud. Although Iraq hoped to take advantage of Irans revolutionary chaos and attacked without formal warning, it made only limited progress into Iran and was quickly repelled Iran regained virtually all lost territory by June 1. For the next six years, Iran was on the offensive. The conflict has been compared to World War I in terms of the tactics used, including large scale trench warfare with barbed wire stretched across fortified defensive lines, manned machine gun posts, bayonet charges, Iranian human wave attacks, extensive use of chemical weapons by Iraq, and later deliberate attacks on civilian targets. The world powers United States and the Soviet Union, together with France and most Arab countries provided support for Iraq, while Iran was largely isolated. After eight years of war, repeated Iranian failures on the battlefield and consequent Iraqi successes, lack of international sympathy as Iraq was increasingly targeting Iranian civilians with weapons of mass destruction, and increasing direct military tension between Iran and the United States eventually led to a UN brokered ceasefire. Half a million Iraqi and Iranian soldiers, with an equivalent number of civilians, are believed to have died, with many more injured however, the war brought neither reparations nor changes in borders. A number of proxy forces participated in the war, most notably the Iranian Peoples Mujahedin of Iran siding with Baathist Iraq and Iraqi Kurdish militias of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan siding with Iranall suffering a major blow by the end of the conflict. In an effort to recoup following damage caused by the war, Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1. US led coalition in the Persian Gulf War. TerminologyeditThe IranIraq War was originally referred to as the Gulf War until the Persian Gulf War of 1. First Persian Gulf War. The IraqKuwait conflict, which was known as the Second Persian Gulf War, eventually became known simply as the Gulf War. The Iraq War from 2. Second Persian Gulf War. In Iran, the war is known as the Imposed War Jang e Tahmili and the Holy Defense Def e Moghaddas. State media in Iraq dubbed the war Saddams Qadisiyyah, Qdisiyyat addm, in reference to the seventh century Battle of al Qdisiyyah, in which Arab warriors overcame the Sasanian Empire during the Muslim conquest of Persia. OriginseditIranIraq relationseditSince the OttomanPersian Wars of the 1. Iran known as Persia prior to 1. Ottomans fought over Iraq then known as Mesopotamia and full control of the Shatt al Arab until the signing of the Treaty of Zuhab in 1. The Shatt al Arab was considered an important channel for both states oil exports, and in 1. Iran and the newly independent Iraq signed a treaty to settle the dispute. In the same year, Iran and Iraq both joined the Treaty of Saadabad, and relations between the two states remained good for decades afterwards. The 1. 93. 7 treaty recognised the IranIraq border to be along the low water mark on the Shatt al Arabs eastern side, except at Abadan and Khorramshahr, where the frontier ran along the thalweg deepest part of the river valley. This gave Iraq control of most of the waterway and required Iran to pay tolls whenever its ships used it. In 1. 95. 5, both nations joined the Baghdad Pact. However, the overthrow of the Hashemites in Iraq in 1. On 1. 8 December 1. Iraqs new leader, General Abd al Karim Qasim, declared We do not wish to refer to the history of Arab tribes residing in al Ahwaz and Mohammareh Khorramshahr. The Ottomans handed over Mohammareh, which was part of Iraqi territory, to Iran. The Iraqi governments dissatisfaction with Irans possession of the oil rich Khuzestan Province, which the Iraqis called Arabistan and had a large Arabic speaking population, was not limited to rhetorical statements. Iraq began supporting secessionist movements in Khuzestan, and raised the issue of its territorial claims at an Arab League meeting, though unsuccessfully. Iraq showed reluctance in fulfilling existing agreements with Iranespecially after Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassers death in 1. Iraqi Baath Partys rise which took power in a 1.
