Love, love love this oil. Tastes good(from nature and organic) , feels good after. I'm sleeping like a baby And I'm not stress anymore. And I'm exploring more about this amazing oil. Last night I went outside, maybe 10 min, and of course mosquitoes love me, so they attacked my legs. Was really eachie. So I put oil on a bites, in sec, it russ stopped. So I will be costumer for a long time. One more thing, maybe its pricie be healthy this days, but it's way cheaper than be sick

I started taking Dream about 3 weeks ago and everything has changed. I was so close to calling my Dr for sleeping pills (because of my husbands snoring) when I reached out to Noelle. I am so glad I did I have never slept so good and I just feel better in general. I wake up so rested and I don't feel groggy or tired throughout the day. I am so glad I tried this it's so worth it!

Organic Reset has helped me and my family improve our health. I never understood the dangers of vaccines until my son was vaccine injured. I was empowered to get a religious exemption and start detoxing. My son understood words, but didn't seem to verbalize. Noelle told me about BioRay Kids. I read the packet of information before starting the detox process with my son. I even called the BioRay Customer Service line to learn the proper sequence for use. BioRay Kids Calm and Shine together are super. The words are flowing where he's articulating his emotions and speaking with enthusiasm. We went to the zoo on Monday where he introduced himself to each and every animal in the "cat house" and gave them all names. We are well on our way to optimal health.

Incredible! I was hesitant to post this as there has been nothing in the last 30 years ( including oxycodone) that would take away the pain in my upper back. I have been through every form of treatment out there, both eastern and western medicine, Reiki , energy healing, acupuncture. Nothing helped and doctors could find nothing wrong. The pain came and went randomly for no particular physical reason. In any case, after taking Organic Reset Everyday 2X, the pain is gone, I mean gone!!! Just WOW!

I've been using the Repair oil for a week. I'm a holdout and have s "wait and see" attitude about these sort of things. When an exercise ball flew out from under me and I injured my back, and I was hobbling around for several weeks, I decided to give it a try. A bit pricey but better than doctors and prescriptions... I started taking it last Monday. I slept better from then. By Wednesday, I got through the whole day and realized I had not thought of my back once. Wow. Just a few drops morning and evening. For real. Thanks Sharon for introducing me to this. I doubt doctors and drug companies will be happy about CBD oil, but I swear it works.

I am posting this for my customer Antoinette B. Here is what she had to say about her success with CBD! Hi Deb. My experience with the CBD OIL Has been life changing! I'm gaining more endurance and strength! I don't have as much pain and I'm not on as many pain meds!! I still push hard and overdo everything but I think the oil is giving me the ability to push! I have so much more energy! Also, my blood work is starting to look better as far as inflammation! ... I do not crave as many sweets and I've lost weight too! It's an Amen for sure. My endurance is better! It's changing my lifestyle already! It's the best thing I've done for myself One last thing I just remembered... my migraines are less too!!! Thank you @organicreset@v-essence

I started using the Everyday X2 about 6 weeks ago, and all I can say is WOW! I had tried other brands of CBD oil before and none of them worked like this. First of all, these oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. I get great results from just 10 drops a day under my tongue in the morning where with other brands I'd be using 1 or 2 droppers full. That's just a mouth full of oil! Also, the flavor of this oil is really clean and neutral. And the results? Less pain and stiffness in my body and joints, blood pressure well under control, less stress and anxiety, and improved sleep. I just feel great! Try it, you won't be sorry!

Highest quality and most potent CBD I have experienced since I began researching and experimenting with CBD. I have known Noelle for many years now and, as a fellow practitioner and a friend, hold her in the highest esteem. She is ethical, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. I felt so confident in dealing with her for my own personal cbd that I decided to pull the trigger and provide her cbd to my clients, friends and family.
July 19, 2018
I must admit, I trust Noelle's word explicitly because whenever I've listened to what she's told me to do, I always feel my best. Plus, what she teaches makes total sense. I am a sugar addict and love cream in my coffee. That being said, as I'm aging the inflammation in my joints is getting worse. I could barely move my fingers when I would wake up in the mornings and the sleepless nights were becoming more frequent. After reading people's testimonies I decided to try this CBD Oil. I was desperate and figured I had nothing to lose. I just finished my first bottle and I must say, I am sleeping the best I have in a long time and my fingers don't ache like they used to. I am excited to reap the other benefits this oil has to offer.

We have been SO happy with the results from these products. My daughter with DS and ASD is so content and able to transition and enjoy life again! She's MUCH more focused in school and has gotten all "great day"'s since starting the Revive. I never told her teachers we were trying this and the third day on it her teacher called me so excited about how amazing she had been doing that week. This product has single handedly changed the dynamic of my daughter's life by stabilizing her moods and anxiety. I'm so thankful we found this company!

[Sax here.] For all of Clayton's awesomeness, Accuscore (in todaysWSJ) predicts we will lose 4.8 runs to 3. They're so bearish on us that we don't even merit a fractional run. So will the boys in blue (with a three-game win streak) defeat the Rox and halt their four-game win streak? Manny's 2010 fate (likely) hangs in the balance!

Information for parents and guardians of children
Talking to Your Child
This section contains the latest information about the preventative discussions to have with your young children and teenagers, as well as what to do if you suspect he or she has been sexually abused.
Talking to Your Child About Sexual Abuse 1
When you empower your children to say "no" to unwanted touch and teach them that they can come to you with questions and concerns, you take critical steps to preventing child sexual abuse.
- Talk to your children about sexuality and sexual abuse in age-appropriate terms. Talking openly and directly about sexuality teaches children that it is okay to talk to you when they have questions.
- Teach children the names of their body parts so that they have the language to ask questions and express concerns about those body parts.
- Teach children that some parts of their bodies are private.
- Let children know that other people should not be touching or looking at their private parts unless they need to touch them to provide care. If someone does need to touch them in those private areas, a parent or trusted caregiver should be there when it happens.
- Tell children that if someone tries to touch those private areas or wants to look at them OR if someone tries to show them his or her own private parts, they should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible.
- Teach your child boundaries and that it's okay to say "no" to touches that make him or her uncomfortable or scared.
- Teach your child how to say "no" when he or she is uncomfortable or scared and that he or she should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible.
- Respect a child's boundaries in play, teasing, and affection.
- Assure your child that it is okay to get help, even if someone he or she cares about might be upset or embarrassed.
- Know that telling a trusted adult can lead to a slightly embarrassing situation for you, your child, and those involved.
- A child who then says he or she does not want to give a relative a hug or kiss can create tension. Do not force the child to give the relative a hug or a kiss, because it is sending the wrong message to the child and teaches the child to ignore his or her confusing or uncomfortable feelings to the point where he or she does it anyway. Work with your child to find ways to greet people that do not involve uncomfortable kinds of touch.
- Talk openly about sexuality and sexual abuse to teach your child that these topics do not need to be "secret." Abusers will sometimes tell a child that the abuse should be kept a secret. Let your child know that if someone is touching him or her or talking to him or her in ways that make him or her uncomfortable or scared, that it should not stay a secret.
- Abusers rely on the child's likelihood of not telling an adult.
- Assure your child that he or she will not get into trouble if he or she tells you this kind of secret.
- Do not try to put all this information into one big "talk" about sex.
- Talking about sexuality and sexual abuse should be routine conversations.
- Use everyday issues to begin conversations to help avoid a big "talk" about sex.
Be involved in your child's life.
- Be engaged in your child's activities.
- Ask your child about the people he or she goes to school with or plays with.
- If your child is involved in sports, go to games and practices. Get to know the other parents and coaches.
- If your child is involved in after-school activities or day care, ask him or her what he or she did during the day.
- Know the other adults that your child might talk to.
- Children sometimes feel that they cannot talk to their parents.
- Identify and tell your child who the other trusted adults are in his or her life.
- Talk about the media and technology.
- If your child watches a lot of television or plays video games, watch or play with him or her.
- Ask him or her questions about technology you do not understand.
- Many TV shows show sexual violence of different kinds.
- Some video games allow the user to engage in sexual violence.
- Discuss the Internet, the child's surfing habits, and online safety tips.
- Use examples from TV or games that you have watched or played together to start up conversations about sexuality and sexual abuse.
- If your child watches a lot of television or plays video games, watch or play with him or her.
Be available.
- Make time to spend with your child.
- Let your child know that he or she can come to you if he or she has questions or if someone is talking to him or her in a way that makes him or her feel uncomfortable or scared.
- Make time to talk to your child when he or she comes to you with concerns or questions.
Discussing Sexual Abuse With Teens
The discussion about sexuality and sexual abuse should start way before a child begins puberty. The following tips are provided with the understanding that preventative discussions have occurred with your child years earlier. If you have not discussed sexual abuse with your child, start today.
When it comes to sexual abuse, protecting teens is complicated. Teenagers seek relationships outside the family for friendship, security, and even advice. In addition, they may be confused or embarrassed about their own developing sexuality, which makes communication difficult and protecting them nearly impossible. 2
Be realistic and educate yourself.
- Know that most abusers are known by the victim.
- Realize teens are learning about sex. Often their sources may not be the best places to get the facts on sex. Sources include their friends, pornography, or firsthand experiences.
- Learn more so you can help and inform your child.
- If your teen comes to you with a question and you respond by giving him or her a pamphlet of information, he or she may think you are not open to further conversation.
- Educational pamphlets can be helpful, many times for you as a parent. Creating open communication is a better way for teens to learn about sexuality and sexual abuse.
Do not put off discussions.
- Before communication lines shut down or something happens, talk to your child.
- Open the lines of communication and talk to your child about his or her personal rights and personal boundaries in an age-appropriate manner.
Help teens define their personal rights.
- Believe it or not, many teens who get caught up in an inappropriate relationship with an adult (or even someone their own age who is an abuser) blame themselves. They do not know what their personal rights are or what kind of behavior to expect from adults. Teach your children that it is okay to say no and that they do not have to do anything they do not want to do. Often, kids think they are supposed to respect their elders and be nice, so they go along with things that make them uncomfortable because they feel obligated.
- Teens should understand that:
- Their bodies are theirs.
- Past permission does not obligate them to future activity.
- They do not have to do anything they do not want to do.
- They should trust their instincts.
- It is not okay for them to engage in sexual behavior with adults.
- It is not okay for adults to take pictures or videos of them in sexual positions or unclothed.
- Regardless of how they dress or talk, it does not constitute permission.
- Pornography is not an accurate depiction of real life.
- They deserve to be spoken to with respect and never feel coerced.
- Alcohol and drugs may make it hard for them to maintain their boundaries and can cloud their judgment.
- Touching someone sexually while they are drunk is abuse.
- Adults should not discuss their sexual fantasies or share pornography with minors.
- No one has the right to touch them without their permission.
- If they are in a relationship, they should also understand that:
- Both parties respect each other's personal rights and boundaries in a healthy relationship.
- They should decline sexual relations with anyone who refuses to use proper protection.
- Not everyone is having sex. Many teens wait and that is perfectly okay.
Help them build up their self-esteem.
Often, low self-esteem is a pivotal factor in risky teen behavior. Teens who do not feel good about themselves or who are at odds with their family may turn to other adults for support. This type of behavior is extremely dangerous; this is exactly what abusers are looking for. They approach teens and take advantage of their low self-esteem, give gifts like liquor or drugs, further isolate them from the family, and attempt to become their "friend." In addition, teens that do not have money are also often a target and may be bribed with gifts or money.
- Encourage your teen to get involved in a hobby, sport, work, or art.
- Teach your teen how to earn money legitimately without having to give up his or her pride or self-worth.
- Teach your teen how to take care of himself or herself.
- Empower your teen to be in control of his or her own life rather than feeling like a victim.
- Give your teen responsibility.
- Communicate how much you value his or her independence, accomplishments, and ability to be responsible, while letting him or her know you are supportive and available.
Need help? Get help.
- Know that it is never too late to seek help.
- Talk to school administrators, counselors, teachers, and community outreach program representatives for assistance.
- Affirm to yourself that abuse is something that needs to be stopped, not ignored.
- Report abuse as soon as possible. Silence protects the abuser and shows the child that abuse is acceptable and may convey that it is his or her fault.
- Do not blame the child for the abuse.
- Seek counseling for abused children to help alleviate confusion, anger, and possible self-esteem issues.
- Seek counseling for you to learn how to get through the hurt and anger, and find ways to help your child and family connections heal.
Talking to Your Child if You Suspect That He or She Is Being Sexually Abused 3
Parents are surrounded by messages about child sexual abuse. Talk shows and TV news warn parents about dangers on the Internet, at school, and at home. However, parents do not get much advice on how to talk to their children if they are concerned that sexual abuse is occurring.
Talk to your child directly.
- Pick your time and place carefully!
- Have this conversation somewhere that your child feels comfortable.
- DO NOT ask your child about child abuse in front of the person you think may be abusing the child!
Ask if anyone has been touching your child in ways that do not feel okay or that make him or her feel uncomfortable.
- Know that sexual abuse can feel good to the victim, so asking your child if someone is hurting him or her may not get the information that you are looking for.
- Follow up on whatever made you concerned. If there was something your child said or did that made you concerned, ask about that.
- Ask in a nonjudgmental way, and take care to avoid shaming your child as you ask questions.
- "I" questions can be very helpful. Rather than beginning your conversation by saying, "You (the child) did something/said something that made me worry…," consider starting your inquiry with the word "I." For example: "I am concerned because I heard you say that you are not allowed to close the bathroom door."
- Make sure that your child knows that he or she is not in trouble, and that you are simply trying to gather more information.
- Talk with your child about secrets.
- Sometimes abusers will tell children that sexual abuse is a secret just between them. They may ask the child to promise to keep it secret.
- When you talk to your child, talk about times that it is okay not to keep a secret, even if he or she made a promise.
Build a trusting relationship with your child.
- Let your child know that it is okay to come to you if someone is making him or her uncomfortable.
- Be sure to follow up on any promises you make—if you tell your child that he or she can talk to you, be sure to make time for him or her when he or she does come to you!
- All children should know that it's okay to say "no" to touches that make them uncomfortable or if someone is touching them in ways that make them uncomfortable and that they should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible.
- Let your child know that you will not get angry at him or her if he or she tells someone "no." Children are often afraid that they will get into trouble if they tell someone not to touch them.
Teach your child that some parts of his or her body are private.
- Tell your child that if someone tries to touch those private areas or wants to look at them OR if someone tries to show the child his or her own private parts, your child should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible.
- Let your child know that he or she will not be in trouble if he or she tells you about inappropriate touching.
- Make sure to follow through on this if your child does tell you about inappropriate touching! Try not to react with anger towards the child.
If you have reason to be concerned about sexual abuse, there may be other signs of sexual abuse as well. This Website provides a list of warning sign for parents. Additionally, RAINN's Web site provides a comprehensive list of signs that indicate child sexual abuse. As you talk to your child about sexual abuse, remember to focus on creating a safe place for your child. Even if he or she does not tell you about sexual abuse at the time of the conversation, you are laying a foundation for future conversations.

Make the most of your day by the water. Shop fishing reels at DICK'S Sporting Goods and bring home your next trophy catch.
From freshwater fishing to a day on an iced-over pond, finding the right fishing reel is critical for your outing. Select from a variety of different constructions, materials and features for the reel that matches you. Explore the collection:
Shop top-rated brands like Shimano, PENN or Shakespeare.
Line capacity: Is vital for selecting a reel. Reels can handle as little as 15 yards to as much as 900 yards. The amount of fishing line you'll need depends on your fishing. For example, fishing in a pond or stream will require only minimal line capacity. If you plan on fishing in a lake, you may need more line capacity to handle the water's depth and the type of fish that may run with your line.
Gear ratio: With a fishing reel, turning the handle on the reel engages gears that turn a shaft on the spool. The faster the handle is turned, the faster the spool rotates. Lower ratios provide more power for bringing fish from deeper depths, while higher gear ratios benefit when pulling fish from closer to the surface.
Ball bearings: Ball bearings are used to help reels work more smoothly by supporting the moving parts; the more ball bearings, the smoother the reel works, especially under pressure.
Shop fishing reels or waders for your next day on the water. Learn more about how to buy a fishing reel from PRO TIPS.
Expert Advice
What type of environment will you be fishing in? Whether you're after a scrappy trout or largemouth bass, finding the right reel improves your chances of making that catch.
Baitcasting and conventional reels work with the weight of a bait or lure as it pulls on a line, and turns the spool to release more line. These are typically preferred by more experienced anglers, especially when using heavier lures and lines designed for bigger fish—like a salmon or steelhead.
Most baitcasting reels now incorporate a drag system designed to adjust the resistance or drag on the spool to control how much resistance is needed to pull the right amount of line off the spool.
Many fishermen prefer baitcasting for fighting bigger, stronger fish over an extended period, especially big game fish in saltwater. Baitcasting reels are offered in one-piece designs, which lessen the corrosive effects of saltwater.
Spinning reels mount on the underside of a spinning rod. The spool on a spinning reel is parallel to the rod and does not rotate when you cast, reducing the chances of tangles to almost zero. Beginners and less experienced fishermen appreciate the lack of complexity that spinning reels offer.
Spincasting reels are well-suited for beginners fishing in freshwater environments. These devices feature a closed-face, button-operated reel, which sits on top of a casting rod. Spincasting reels feature a line that comes off the top of the spool when casting. The spool remains stationary until you use a thumb button to cast. When you release the button, your bait or lure propel your line.

Fr Girls Don't Eat in the Street
This giant poster in Sephora's windows may be my only hope - a pacifier. Come live in Paris. You'll soon see. Just you wait. Humph

I can relate: When I was 19 I spent a Summer hitchhiking all over France. I ate my way (also my weight) through the patisseries of Normandy, Brittany, Loire Valley, Alps, Languedoc, and Cote d'Azur. By the time I got back to America I was FAT. I only lost those pounds through lack of opportunity (patisseries were hard to find in Philadelphia in the 1970s).ReplyDelete
So if you want to keep the kilos from accumulating around your hips you might have to move to Philadelphia. I guarantee that it's still so unappetizing there that you'll shed weight like crazy. Yes, you'll be nice and skinny but you'll also be in PHILADELPHIA.
What did Henri of Navarre say about the situation? Didn't he say, "Paris is worth a few extra pounds"?Replies
I'm sorry, but being from Philadelphia I cannot let this pass . . . Philadelphia has a great reputation as a restaurant town, and I think Georges Perrier, proprietor of Le Bec Fin, would also disagree (such a well known French restaurant in Philadelphia it has its own Wikipedia entry).Delete
But Carol, I feel your pain . . .

It was not until 1593, after an elaborate public profession of his Catholic faith, that Henry became King of France. His explanation of this apparent conversion remains one of history's most instructive disclaimers: Paris vaut bien une messe. Paris is well worth a mass.Delete
Umm…nothing about weight gain that I can see.
I guess because I live outside of the city and only venture in for necessity..I am not used to seeing people eating on the street so it would look normal to me..En plus de cela..Montreal ..for the past 40 yrs ..ap..has never let street food vendors take up residency..It is never something one sees here..It's all about to change..This year..they are starting with trials..and then more..etc..ReplyDelete
So now I am sure I will see people eating on the street..:)
My husband remembers the street food vendors with horses!Replies
Who needs Philadelphia? I lost weight when I went back to NYC ...food there is dull unless yr in Brooklyn and why go there?Delete

You are just a nonsense New York hater!Delete
New york has much more diverse choices in terms of cuisines, at least more things to choose than just "butter based" food. By the way, you might not know what"manner" is, but don't think all new yorks are like you---many of us don't eat on streets! Yes I don't eat on Paris streets eithe---how can anyone eat on those streets which are full of dog poohs?! Oh! since you live in Paris, you must know a thing in town called "poople", a new app to indicate----
I guess you know!
FYI Paris dogs are small for a good reason = their pooh is minuteDelete
There's a reason for everything here except why you can't eat in the streets.
PS j'aime les pommes and that little girl w/ the red beret and scarf and coat? Did you dress her? So cute!ReplyDelete
Why not get some muffs? Way better than a pacifier, I might add. ;-)
Viennese also don't eat while walking. They congregate around the Würstlbuden, eating only while standing there, with the plate on the counter (I have even observed ladies in long evening robe, next to the opera house, eating würstl that way).
Haha, love your solution!ReplyDelete
Interesting post. I'd never really given it much thought before now, but I very rarely eat in the street - maybe conditioned by my upbringing in Europe? I'd have to be starving and in a mad rush not to go into a nice café or restaurant and sit down to eat or drink.
Not that this necessarily helps me avoid temptation, I might add!
If you hang around the tourist sites, you can eat on the street, blending in with the other Americans! So jealous you're getting to spend all this time in Paris. Wish I could go to that pool -- looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
Truly I am the world's worst (best?) snacker~ and will gobble anything anytime anywhere~ but the first thing that occurred to me~ this must be the reason and people are always asking WHY the French are so skinny. You have found the answer. No street eating. Non.ReplyDelete
- cyndi from SD10:50 AM
I am laughing out loud.You made my day.And,Carol,you are right.When I think back about the times I've been in Paris...those women are not street snacking.ReplyDelete
Oh,well,I will try to hide my munching a little better.Though,I doubt that anyone would mistake me for a native.As,always I study your people picks to get style tips.Merci Cyndi
Thank you for the laugh on a gray Friday morning!ReplyDelete
I have been visiting Paris for over 30 years, on a yearly basis, sometimes for months and sometimes just weeks. And I have seen many, many changes. Although I am not sure we will see French women snacking on the streets, I am sure that you will see more youth and men.
I too am a snacker, and if it contains sugar all the more so.
I do not think you should change to adapt to Paris...just enjoy! There are too many great treats not too.
Not to mention the fact that you are so good about going to the pool daily, you deserve a reward or two!
Enjoy your weekend, Elizabeth
Carol, first of all let me tell you how beautiful your watercolor apples are! They blush in a most lovely way.ReplyDelete
I'm wondering if it's my having grown up in a different time and place that keeps me from any nibbling on the sidewalks of NYC. I might sample something at the Farmers Green Markets, but that's about it.
I'd never thought about this before.
The French have this right, in my opinion. Eating on the street. No, thank you. Americans also eat and drink in their cars which I don't understand either. Maybe I do have some French genes somewhere---well hidden, but still there. Of course, I like that I can bring a sweet home and eat it without worrying that someone is saying "she shouldn't be eating that!"ReplyDelete
I am soooo proud of you for maintaining your Stealth Approach in that crazy museum that allows photos! Places like that could be the end of you - you could lose your edge! You could be ejected from other, less understanding, places. You could find yourself with no place left to photograph in Paris, banned from every museum and shop. You might have to return stateside to find photographic subjects. You could find that you miss those incredible French pastries so much that you move to Brooklyn. You could blow up like a blimp from all the Brooklyn food. Whew! Now aren't you glad you only have to fend off a few Parisian pastries?ReplyDelete
Well, I pretended to be French (didn't get away with it except in my own head) when I went last Spring, and believe me, I ate on the street...a lot. ;)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11:23 AM
I think you should consider yourself quite the hero.siphoning down from a Chausson au pomme to a mere half of a palmier is an accomplishment ! Why expect to go Cold Turkey? And you are in Paris...pastry junkie land after all.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11:29 AM
I would so love one of those ham and cheese sandwiches w/ the great butter!(right now) And I would eat any & all pastry in sight. I once got Chinese take out near the St Paul metro stop and ate while sitting on a bench there .At the time it seemed odd to me that the only folks eating there on the benches looked like tourists. Later I felt like I was sneaking when I ate pastries on a bench at Luxembourg Gardens. So many tasty treats , so little time. I ,too,LOVE your apples.perfect!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11:57 AM
You are absolutely right. now that I think of it, I've never seen one eat,either. Delightful post today! Mary IReplyDelete
Couldn't stop laughing, Carol - especially with the pacifier; saw this poster but didn't have the same impression as you! Lol.ReplyDelete
It's totally true here; I was in London last month and amazed to see so many people rushing around with coffees in the street and snacking, something you just don't see in Paris - yet, before they're totally Starbucked?
- Laura in Santa Fe12:55 PM
This is a good opportunity to express your individuality and sense of self. If you feel like having a snack or cuppa in the "open air", then enjoy! You may even start a trend.ReplyDelete
A tasty treat and the right beverage can only enhance walking about in the lovely Spring weather!

I absolutely love your blog and today's was extra entertaining and witty - thank you for putting a smile/laugh in my morning right after waking! :)ReplyDelete

Maybe I've become too much of a travelogue of late and not enough Parisbreakfast point of view like today ?
- Anonymous1:58 PM
I think one of the things that attracted me to your blog in the beginning was your witty thoughts on Parisienne's, I love seeing all the culture events you attend but sometimes it's just the daily life that's most interesting for those of us stuck at "home" just dreaming of being in Paris...also love the blogs about the dog, was his name Biff?Delete
- Anonymous2:05 PM
That is what cafe's are for to sit, nibble and watch. :) I am so jalouse.ReplyDelete
Printemps in Paris must be glorious.
Please enjoy an eclair au choclat for me!
I am such a fan for what you do.
Huh. When I was in Paris I saw women often eat on the street -- a chunk of baguette or roll. Now I'm thinking they must have all been tourists!ReplyDelete
If it wasn't for all the uncalled for remarks that it'd bring, I wonder if a pacifier is such a bad idea,after all!!? (LOL)ReplyDelete
After I turned 65, it seems I only need LOOK at something scrumptious and I gain weight.
Really an effort not to turn into a fatso.
The French women maybe have the right idea.
I know they are very prudent about their intake.
Ah,well. Don't know if I can claim the same.
Thanks,Carol. This was another wonderful,thought provoking post.
In my two years à Paris that is one thing I never blended in with. I ate in the street like the gauche americaine I am. Fortunately benches abound?ReplyDelete
I must be a terrible French person: I look back fondly at my Parisian career years working near l'Opéra Garnier at the American Express flagship travel agency. At lunchtime, I would usually be found walking up and down the busy sidewalks by les Grands Magasins (Printemps, Galeries Lafayette,) window-shopping, while enjoying my jambon-beurre or a galette complète... A chausson aux pommes or an éclair au café were enjoyed for dessert on occasion, when I returned to the office. I was young, had a faster metabolism, and somehow managed to walk it all off :-) The good old days... WIsh I had known that back then. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Well I think Americans are heavier due to continuous snacking so no wonder French people are slimmer. I think once your head realize you can get those goodies anytime you want and you wont be going back to NY where you cant get anything good so you better eat them while you can, you will be able to pass them by easier. but I just cant imagine not getting an Ice cream cone and walking around eating it. That's half the fun of eating them. :)ReplyDelete
The pacifier advertisement is a classic. Could you see it in NYC? Non! Beautiful pool. I wish we had them here.ReplyDelete
I love that opening watercolor.ReplyDelete
It is kind of hard to believe that in Paris people don't partake of the fabulous food while strolling.
I guess that leaves sidewalk cafes?
I definitely ate on the street, food from kiosks, etc. & on benches when in Paris (& loved that there were so many benches). It was a way to save money & I liked the food. "Le traiteur" and "à emporter" were words I learned fast. Yay for the Paris pool!ReplyDelete
I also do not eat in the street, unlike a lot of the Brits .. It is just not a good look and it is bad for you .. My grandchildren are taught to hold on to the pushchair too ...and do not eat in the street either, maybe and icecream , but even then it is discouraged..ReplyDelete
To me it's not a pleasure to eat in the street. I like to be seated to enjoy the food. I don't know if it is french or not ... But sometime, it's nice to buy something and find the perfect spot in a park to enjoy a patisserie for example. Have a nice we.ReplyDelete
Miam miam.....I want to go back to France to eat all these !!!!!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12:26 AM
so true.ReplyDelete
ever eat or drink in public, unless you are sitting in a eatery.
Otherwise the ever so proud French will say to you
Bon appetite!

I follow PB and love the glimpses into Parisian life! I recently picked up a copy of your long ago guide to the markets of Europe and have had a very enjoyable time perusing it. I love your sketches and it's quite fun to see how many of the markets I visited it during my European travels.ReplyDelete
Just want to say thank you for brightening my life with both the blog and the guide.
All the best, Erin
Great post Carol. I love your pacifier/dummy solution- not sure how well it will catch on. I'm sure you're quite right, we tourists and strangers must be such a constant source of disappointment to the French.ReplyDelete
I remember being in Paris in 1990, and feeling quite well-dressed, in a chic pencil skirt and a red tank top. Hungry, I bought a crepe "beure-sucre." It was all beautifully wrapped and ready to eat. Which of course, I did. I had great plans for the evening, and this crepe would tide me over until dinner. Then, I felt a drip on my foot. Then another on my toe. And another. I looked down, and the sucre et beure had stealthily escaped it wrapper, and was dripping, dripping, dripping not only on my toe, but also, all the way down my tank top and little skirt! "Horrible!" I fetched a hand wipe out of my purse, intending to clean up this little mess. But alas, all it did was to spread it across my chic clothing. I got on the metro, carefully avoiding all eye contact with those who were gawking at the mess on the front of my clothing, and all over my feet and sandals. Humilliated, I stayed in for the night and did some hand-washing in my hotel basin.ReplyDelete

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
I just found out about LinuxMCE and it seems really great! I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on installing LinuxMCE on the Playstation 3 in order to have a functional media center-like front end to it. I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet, as I have been looking for something similar since day one. (I was recently looking on building my own linux distro when I came across this.)There's a guide out to install Ubuntu onto the PS3 via a Gentoo ppc livecd beta here: http://www.louiscandell.com/ps3/And since LinuxMCE installs overtop of Ubuntu, I was wondering if this would actually work. I'm very new to linux, but my roommate is pretty good with it so there are definitely some options here. (I just need to know where to get started and if this is actually possible.)Thanks!
Um, that's probably an erroneous post as there are plenty of power saving options in linux which could improve the power efficiency over the PS3 playing games and running the standard XMB. Also, I posted about using it as a client only, specifying backend things like TV tuners would be handled on a seperate core. Anyways, mute point really, I'm going to attempt getting this going, I'll post back when it fails and hopefully I can get some pointers from people interested in helping. I'm a linux noob and not much for coding, but I'm going to have a crack at it anyway.

BARACK OBAMA IS is drawing an A-list of performers for his inaugural festivities later this month.
Katy Perry, Smokey Robinson, Usher and Alicia Keys are among the stars planning to sing at Obama's inaugural galas on 21 January and at a children's concert on 19 . Also signed up are Marc Anthony, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and the cast of "Glee."
The concert and the two official inaugural balls are being held at the Washington Convention Center over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend when Obama begins his second term.
The performers join top talent already announced for Obama's signing ceremony on 21 January on the West Front of the Capitol, including Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor.
While Obama has cut the number of inaugural balls lower than any president since Dwight Eisenhower was first sworn into office in 1953, the two celebrations will be elaborate. The larger of the events, simply called The Inaugural Ball, is expected to draw more than 35,000 in a reflection of the quadrennial demand in Washington to toast the president in person on such a historic day.
The Inaugural Ball is being held across all 700,000 square feet of the Washington Convention Center's five exhibit halls, which four years ago held six separate balls.
The second event is the Commander In Chief's Ball, a tradition started by President George W. Bush to honor the military. Doubling in size from four years ago to about 4,000, it's being held on the third-floor ballroom of the convention hall a mile from the White House. Tickets are free for invitees, including active-duty and reserve troops, Medal of Honor recipients and wounded warriors.
Demand has been high for entry to the two official affairs. Inaugural planners offered a limited number of tickets to The Inaugural Ball for sale at $60, and they sold out quickly on Sunday night when Ticketmaster accidentally sent out an email ahead of time announcing they were available.
Inaugural organizers are trying to stop a swift scalping business for the tickets, which have been cropping up for sale online.
That's even though city officials are predicting a drop in attendance to 600,000 to 800,000 for the inauguration this year compared with 2009, when a record 1.8 million crowded onto the National Mall to see the first black president sworn into office.
Those who can't get into the convention hall with the Obamas can still carouse into the night at several unofficial balls across Washington. And members of the president's staff will get their own chance to celebrate with the president, with a staff ball planned for the day after the inauguration.
Last time, the private affair was reportedly quite a bash, according to one attendee, with rap star Jay-Z singing a riff on one of his hit songs, "99 Problems but George Bush Ain't One," to the delight of the throngs of young staffers who worked so hard to turn the White House Democratic.
More tickets to The Inaugural Ball will be on sale, but not to the general public. They will go to campaign volunteers, community leaders, elected officials and other invitees, as well as donors being asked to contribute up to $250,000 individually or $1 million from corporations to pay for the festivities. Invitees will be sent an email in the next few days with personalized Ticketmaster account information they can use to purchase up to two tickets.
The Inaugural Ball's halls extend across two floors, so the president and first lady plan to spin on the dance floor of each level. At the Commander In Chief's Ball, the president and first lady plan to continue the tradition of dancing with members of the military.
Inaugural planners said the cut in the number of balls was to reflect tough economic times and minimize the burden on law enforcement, other security personnel and Washington residents. But could it also be an effort to give the president some relief from having to dance to the same song over and over again all across town on an already exhausting day?
President George W. Bush didn't hide his annoyance after his second inaugural at having to repeatedly sashay around to a musical medley that included "I Could Have Danced All Night." Could have, but did not: He and first lady Laura Bush danced for a cumulative total of just 8 minutes, 54 seconds across 10 galas.

Open Friday: Historical Campaigns
So, for today's question: if you could do so, what sort of historical campaign would you like to run? For bonus points, tell me what would likely make it different from another historical campaign run by someone else in the same time period?
60 comments:
Something set during the French Revolution, but with hedge magic.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 18, 2011 at 12:33 AM
I'd love to run a campaign inspired by Gene Wolfe's "Latro in the Mist" which is set in Ancient Greece.ReplyDelete
The protagonist has amnesia and no long-term memory due to a head injury sustained on the battlefield. He must record his life each day into a scroll which he reads each morning. (The novel is a fictional translation of the scroll.) The scroll follows his journey, guided by gods at war that seek to help or hinder him, to seek healing and recover his lost life.
The head injury allows Latro to perceive (we think - it could all be delusion!) the ancient gods, spirits, monsters and sorcery that others live with daily but can only accept on faith.
This is the ultimate D&D/historical fantasy series. Highly recommended!
I have had much luck getting any responses here recently but I'll join in anyway.ReplyDelete
When you say historical, you mean any period setting? I don't think of Call of Cthulhu as historical per se, since it's not often 'about' the 1920's but 'about' investigating the cults of nameless horrors from beyond.
That said I've run British Superheroes in the late 19th century, a Western featuring a singing cowboy, a masked man and a Native American shaman, numerous Ars Magica campaigns set in the 12th century (mostly in England, Cornwall and Wales) and my Wizard of Oz campaign which switched between the Land Over the Rainbow and the United States circa 1910-1920.
What made it mine? I really don't think anyone else is going to post about Supers 1889 or running a Wizard of Oz game.
17th Century swashbuckling adventure, with Lovecraftian/Howardian overtones. I'd try to include some maritime adventures in it if I could and I would have lots of intrigue.ReplyDelete
I love settings which are based in history but add a fantastic twist. During your recent paean to *Runequest*, I was remembering the "Fantasy Earth" mentioned briefly in Avalon Hill's revision of the game, which I always wanted to see further developed. (Ah, to know more of the villainous Clovis!)ReplyDelete
I ran a GURPS campaign set in a fantastic version of late Republican Rome, partially inspired by the medieval legend cycle of Virgil the Necromancer, who came to be the party's patron. The adventurers eventually found out about the ancient and still ongoing secret conflict between the Minoidoi (ancient biological engineers who created minotaurs, centaurs, etc.) and the Ylphoi (hideously powerful animal-totem spirits who had masqueraded as the Egyptian gods). So, there was enough weird stuff that it wasn't just your typical sword-and-sandal fare.
I'd *like* to run a campaign set in Renaissance France, in which the characters are king's musketeers who have to cope with a massive contagious undead invasion of the European mainland after the king takes too much mummy dust as medicine. It'd be a bit like *The Walking Dead* meets *The Three Musketeers*. Ghosts, rarer than skeletons and zombies, would be well-nigh invulnerable to conventional weapons, but highly fragile to "ghost shot" made from silver ground to powder and soaked in holy water.
I've also thought about a Depression-era campaign in which Faeries returned to the world in the 1920s, adding to the disruption which caused the economic downfall. They bought up various parcels of land, and have established themselves alongside mortal states. Charles Lindbergh is an avowed anti-Faery politician, since fairy coaches have squelched trans-Atlantic aviation by taking up mail contracts, leaving airplanes only for crazy hobbyists. Fairy products, most based on illusion, are well-received by an impoverished public, even as members of the Unseelie Court plot with Aryan nationalists in Germany.... It'd be sort of *Indiana Jones* meets "Goblin Market."
I've also considered a World War I campaign in which the heroes, after entering a druidic circle in a French forest, find themselves living parallel lives in a fantasy world while they sleep -- somewhat like H.G. Wells' short story "A Dream of Armageddon." Action would shift between the dreary Great War in our world and an analogous magical-medieval conflict in the other realm, with actions in each affecting the other.
Ah, a topic close to my heart. I'd love to run a purely historical game one day. No magic, no monsters, no Lovecraft Mythos. Just fellow humans and the evils they do. I think strictly historical, "realistic" campaigns are fairly rare, probably because they're harder to pull off effectively. Of course, if there was a TPK, I wouldn't hesitate to send them to Riverworld, so I guess it would cease to be strictly historical at that point...ReplyDelete
Another differentiation would be the fact that I'd likely choose a setting/period most people wouldn't be familiar with. 16th-century Russia, or the time of the Teutonic Crusades.
I would like to run a game that takes place in 1950's, where brave men of science defend the American Way of Life against giant mutated bugs, alien invaders and the ever-present Communist threat.ReplyDelete
For any "historic" campaign, I have a strong desire to skip the details. I'd rather do "American Revolution, with the same tech, language, political situation and culture, but totally made-up names for people, geographical features, and territories."ReplyDelete
The period I'm fixated on right now, and the one where I'd be most likely to keep 90% of the names (even if I change some of the historical events) is the 1950s. With commies and aliens.
Hah! Cross-posted with Wheggi!ReplyDelete
You will want to see the "atomic" tag on my blog, Wheggi. Especially when it starts to expand Real Soon Now.
Watching Pan's Labyrinth inspired a campaign set during the Spanish Revolutionary War using Changeling: The Lost and New World of Darkness ruleset. The players were kidnapped as children and return to the real world to see the state of their country. Using their powers they help spearhead the revolution while coping with their own personal problems. The took off but never went anywhere because we were unfamiliar with the ruleset.ReplyDelete
I would set it in late dark ages Europe. No magic. one player who would aspire to lead mercenary armies at the beck and call of great powers. Similar to the lyonese series by Dorothy dunnett.ReplyDelete
I would use the man to man rules from CHAINMAIL.
I'd like to do some spy stuff in the late 50's. Basically, invoking the spirit of Ian Fleming's Bond novels using Top Secret rules. Tough, noir-ish stuff with a bit of flair.ReplyDelete
I recently found my copies of Top Secret SI and have been rereading them. Sadly, the Cold War is now a forgotten (or never known) historical period for many, so I guess even doing that would count.ReplyDelete
But I'm considering transplanting the game to London in the 1880s or so for clashes with sinister, bomb-throwing anarchists a la Joseph Conrad and jaunts to Afghanistan and Persia to battle Russians in the Great Game for dominance Central Asia. Might even throw Jack the Ripper in there for more villanous, period flavor. Who wouldn't want a campaign with Saucy Jack as an evil enforcer for dastardly anarchists trying to overthrow Queen and Country?
I ran a Second Edition AD&D game set in the Age of Exploration, with North America as a typical fantasy world dominated in the eastern forests by a magically powerful elven empire, in Central America by the remnants of the Yuan-Ti and their lizard man soldiers, on the Great Plains by centaur tribes, in the Rockies by dwarves, and dragons pretty much dividing up everything else.ReplyDelete
The players never made it past the Caribbean's merfolk kingdoms, though one of them did take mermaid to wife.
I have always wanted to run a campaign set during the Roman Empire, or, during a Mythic Greece era. A friend of mine is running a 3.5 campaign set in 950 AD Carpathia with some magical elements and that's been a lot of fun.ReplyDelete
A friend of mine introduced me to "Legacy", wich was, basically, "Highlander-the RPG" with serial numbers filed off. Our characters were supposed to begin in the XVIth century and evolve until noadays. Except for the whole "I can't die unless beheaded", there was no magic and the point was to evolve and adapt to the different times.ReplyDelete
Alas, the campaign didn't last (damn gamer ADD!)
Campaign where players take roles of Anjala conspiracy officers, alternate history where independent Finland might be born in 1788.ReplyDelete
For non-fantasy historical I'd do the first years of the East India Companies. It's got everything; seaborne adventures of discovery, evil employers, people turning native to warn the Japanese of the impending threat, island cults, Chinese pirates and mafia, and the original spices-that-must-flow. The PCs are officers on a ship negotiating, trading, and warring against the other companies. I can just see them enacting something like the Ambonya Massacre on their rivals but getting to seriously question (and maybe derail) the whole enterprise when confronted with the genocide in the Bandas. Giles Milton's popular histories are practically novelizations - highly recommended.ReplyDelete
For semi-historical low-fantasy I'd move the time frame up 50-80 years: the Companies are filling in the holes in their maps/networks. This time the PCs are natives - I'd get the players to invent the details of their home island Korad style. They have a unique resource: they can contact and bargain with nature spirits for magical effects. The game opens with the first arrival of the Dutch or English, who want to use the spirits for their own imperial ends.

I'd run a paratemporal campaign where The Empire Never Ended, possibly including some Burroughs, Borges, Conrad and Lewis along with the PKD.ReplyDelete
I'm also enamoured of finding the potential for noir-ish situations in historical contexts; my current favourite is Manzikert-era Constantinople.
And then there's the 50s to 70s. I want to take le Carré-inspired characters and put them in classic B-movie plots, Hammer Horror films or Quatermass serials (which, really, are both):ReplyDelete

I ran two historical campaigns in 19th century England and 18th century America under the rubric "Compromise and Conceit" (my blog name). They incorporated lots of demon summoning and magic. The 18th century campaign was set during the French and Indian war, and the PCs got to kill Washington.ReplyDelete
I want to extend this campaign setting to the Greek War of Independence (early 19th century), when the Romantic School of Magic started; in this case the PCs would meet (and maybe kill?) Byron.
I also have sketched out an idea for a horror/magic campaign in a Svalbard Whaling Station, and I'm interested in running a murder mystery/horror campaign in Meiji era Japan.
Historical campaigns rock.
I ran a four year GURPS Second World War campaign. The players were Razvedchiki (Soviet Reconaissance troops) tasked with assisting partisans behind enemy lines. No magic, no FX of any sort - it was the finest gaming experience I have ever had.ReplyDelete
I have a second campaign (currently on hiatus) set in Spain in 1809. Again no magic, no FX. The players are British officers in an infantry regiment all climbing the greasy pole of promotion, while trying to marry well and have a good time.
Both games in involve comparatively little combat by rpg standards - and the latter a great deal of in character eating and drinking.
The King, God bless him!
I have run very fun campaigns with AD&D2e's HR historial supplements.ReplyDelete
The historical supplements of Green Ronin are also quite good (in particular the New Testament.)
A couple years ago I ran a game at GenCon set in the late 19th century inspired by the works of Jules Verne. I suppose these days you'd call what I was running steam punk, but back then I don't think I would have recognized the word. I thought of it simply as historical sci-fi.ReplyDelete
I always wanted to run a Cthulhu/horror game set in Boston just prior to the revolutionary war. I thought it might be fun to have the players all play Brits stationed there. Tension would already be high before even introducing any supernatural elements.
I'd like to run a Roman Empire game, set in Britain during the last years of occupation. I'd throw in a few non-historical elements, a touch of weird fantasy or horror to make it different but without going over-board (was thinking werewolves and druids).ReplyDelete
Time: circa 1350 C.E.ReplyDelete
Place: West Africa, Mali Empire, Timbuktu
"The Mali Empire or Mandingo Empire or Manden Kurufa was a West African empire of the Mandinka from c. 1230 to c. 1600. The empire was founded by Sundiata Keita and became renowned for the wealth of its rulers, especially Mansa Musa I. The Mali Empire had many profound cultural influences on West Africa, allowing the spread of its language, laws and customs along the Niger River. The Mali empire extended over a large area and consisted of numerous vassal kingdoms and provinces."
"After a shift in trading routes, Timbuktu flourished from the trade in salt, gold, ivory and slaves...In its Golden Age, the town's numerous Islamic scholars and extensive trading network made for a lively book trade: together with the campuses of the Sankore madrassah, an Islamic university, this established Timbuktu as a scholarly centre in Africa."

Myself, I've run a lot of victorian games, mainly in a setting described in a nutshell as Men in Black but with faerie tales creatures and magic. Also victorian superheroes (gotta finish that setting sometime soon!).ReplyDelete

I've wanted to do something with the ByzantiumReplyDelete
Empire for a longtime and it's grand city of Constantinople, which in some ways, was even more grand then Rome. Also, an espionage game set in the Napoleonic age would be lot of fun and one day I'd like to do a Civil War era campaign with a "Spaghetti Western" twist to it such as" The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly". BRP would probably be my system for choice.
I'd love to see a game set against the backdrop of Scottish Wars of Independence.
Court intrigue, bandit fighting, large set pieces, spying, travel, trade.
Maelstrom's "Witchcraft" approach to Magic is very apt for this kind of thing, it's very low-level, and could constantly carry the threat of death just for using it.
The possibility of envoys being sent from the Scottish palace to London, for example, and fascinates me.
I don't know if I could do a strictly historical campaign: the desire to throw in magic and/or horror and alter events would make it more of an alternate history. Still...ReplyDelete
--Roman Republic at the time of the Punic Wars, with Carthage as a real force for evil.
--Late Roman Britain, with the players trying to establish a secure independent state after the Roman withdrawal.
--English Civil War, with magical and diabolic conspiracies in the background.
I'm sure there are others, but that's off the top of my head.

I also want to run Maelstrom!ReplyDelete
Personally, I would run Japan at the the point of transition to the Tokugawa era. The flavor I would weave in would be a campaign focus/presence of the Japanese Christian community that got wiped out when the Japanese decided to purge themselves of all foreign influence. It would also allow me to experiment with various mass combat systems when characters wanted to get involved in historic battles...ReplyDelete
I would like to do some adventures (with intrigue, action and mass battles) in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire.ReplyDelete
But I would like to play (as character) in the Late Roman Empire (the Huns, the Goths, general Aetius...) but without magic or supernatural elements.
I still dream of doing my campaign in an alternative version of Mesopotamia where the gods and demons are real. I've given it a lot more thought lately - given my building of a Sumerian DBA army and my thoughts to how to put players into the middle of mass combat.ReplyDelete
After thinking about it, I have actually done quite a bit of historical role playing. Boot Hill, Gangbusters, and Top Secret were mainstays during high school. We also played Pirates and Plunder (wonderfully crunchy system by Yaquinto)and Behind Enemy Lines, though much less frequently. In college, I played in a short but fun game of Bushido. More recently, I've ran Savage Worlds with Thrilling Tales (pulp '30s) and Solomon Kane.ReplyDelete
@by the sword - Solomon Kane covers exactly what you're looking for.
@Chepe - Those are some pretty kick ass ideas!
The crew and passengers of a Type A Free Trader after they misjumped to World War 2 Earth and the jump drive burned out.ReplyDelete
The Boxer Rebellion. What's not to like: mystical kung fu monks rise up against the European oppressors who have coerced the Empress into letting them ruin the country with their opium trade, seizure of lands, and religious conversion. Palace intrigue in the Forbidden City as the Dowager Empress joins forces with the Boxers and the young Prince calls for capitulation; monks, bandits, and pirates joining forces to sabotage British ships and ambush troop patrols; battles between rifle-wielding soldiers and chi gong-imbued monks with bulletproof skin... so much fun.ReplyDelete
If you consider CoC historical, then I'd say Arthurian Legend is something I've always wanted to play. I'm 25 sessions into a Pendragon campaign right now, so I guess I'm living my dream!ReplyDelete
I'm thinking Arturo Perez-Reverte's Captain Alatriste would make for a fun swashbuckler (1620s Spain.)ReplyDelete
I'd like to run an adventure that begins like a sequel to Gone With the Wind and eventually becomes The War of the Worlds. Maybe with Gotham by Gaslight Batman thrown in.ReplyDelete
I'd fancy doing a campaign based upon the Turkish siege of Vienna that took place in 1529. It was a major confrontation between the forces of the East and the West, and marked the point at which the forces of the Ottoman Empire were beaten out of Western Europe.ReplyDelete
My plan for the campaign would involve it not only being a major conflict between two civilisations, but also a conflict between two philosophies - that of modern European thought and that of Eastern mysticism. Throw in a bit of anomalous clockwork technology courtesy of Leonardo da Vinci and let things go.
I've got as far as selecting systems for it as well. WFRP 1e/2e would capture the style, although BRP would do nicely as well.
I've always wanted to do a mesoamerican campaign. About the time the aliens showed up to show them how to build pyramids, grow corn, mine gold, and play soccer with human heads.ReplyDelete

I would love to do a Old Western style campaign, somehow mixing "Wild, Wild, West", "Briscoe County Jr" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".ReplyDelete
I want to and will run a Norse type game. I've also always wanted to do a Native American quest based on the Eastern tribes like the Shawnee or Iroquois.ReplyDelete
I'd love to run/play in an American Revolutionary War espionage campaign.ReplyDelete
I ran a longish CoC campaign centered on late 60's San Francisco... some Mythos elements but also lots of the actual weirdness of the time... the Manson family, The Process Church Of The Final Judgement, Anton La Vey, The Zodiac Killer... more than enough messiahs and lunatics and social upheavals to go around.ReplyDelete

@ Arcadian- you could combine the Viking and Indian games and still stay historical (probably).ReplyDelete
For me 17th Century France. But I don't really know enough to run it properly.
I would like to run an alternate-history colonial America campaign with Indians, vikings, witches, and so on.ReplyDelete
I would love to design an alternate history WWII campaign where the Nazis conquer space with Werner von Braun/Chesley Bonestell spaceships, and the Allies are in a frantic race to catch up. Space: 1947!
Also would love to play in a strictly historical commandos/rangers/OSS WWII campaign, with a GM who really knows his stuff.
@Chepe I would love to play in any of those, awesome! Do you have a blog?ReplyDelete

Based on my experiences trying to play and run historical-themed campaigns, years back, I wouldn't - too many historical purist killjoy players.ReplyDelete

Almost everything I do is historical because stealing from history makes campaign creation that much easier.ReplyDelete
One game that I'd like to run would be a low-fantasy Tim Powers-esque campaign concerning a pilgrimage to Jerusalem during the Crusade era. The characters could be knights, priests, guides, etc. The very real hazards of the Pilgrim's Road, coupled with desert spirits, djinni, and competing Byzantine and Arabic magics, would make for an interesting trip.
I'd probably use HarnMaster for the system to get the realism of combat down. This would not be a game of dragon-slaying, but survival and getting your charges safely to Jerusalem.
Dark Ages Iberian Peninsula: the D&Dest setting in the world!ReplyDelete
Think about it: the crude, Germanic-Christian kingdoms of the north engaged in a long struggle versus the refined islamic "taifas" in the sud; a bloody frontier trespased by brigands, mercenaries and merchants-adventurers; fanatic african warrior-monks, knights, arab magicians and huris... With the bakground of a sparsely pupulated and rugged land, littered with the remains of celts, iberians, carthagineans, greeks, romans, name it. A grim and gritty game, full of violence, black magic and sinister creatures of folklore.
Falchodas: Secrets of the Ancient WorldReplyDelete
Begins in Roman Britain circa 117 a.d. during the largest Pictish revolts. A small group of (Roman) players survives the ambush of Legio IX (Hispania) and must make their way back to Eboracum (York) to warn their countrymen.
A medieval Chinese police procedural set in the Tang Dynasty (Law & Order: Chang'an). Not based directly on Van Gulik's Judge Dee, but rather on his sources, with all of the supernatural elements intact.ReplyDelete

Have you seen this?
Thanks for the link! Some great stuff there.
Have you played Trail of Dee?
Another great source is Paul Mason's Outlaws of the Water Margin (http://www.tcp-ip.or.jp/~panurge/). Sadly it's unfinished, but Mason was obsessed with replicating Song era China.
Victoriana (1870's) where (low level) magic actually works, thus Temple of the Golden Dawn acolytes may actually be casting spells (or are they just deluded?). A mystery/supernatural/paranormal campaign. Cubicle 7 has a line of products that are similar but has actual Elves and Dwarves running around which is too jarring for me (though some strange bloodlines may be in order). Kim Newman has some short stories along these lines too.ReplyDelete
Have you played Trail of Dee?ReplyDelete
No, but at some point I hope to playtest a similar Dark Ages GUMSHOE skillset...

Top 5 BYOD Pitfalls Your Bank Should Avoid
Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) offers powerful benefits for banks, from enabling better customer service at a lower cost to improving employee productivity and satisfaction. Just as ATMs transformed retail banking a generation ago, mobile devices make it possible to provide service in more places and reduce reliance on traditional teller windows and service desks. By allowing employees to choose their preferred work devices -- PC, Mac, mobile -- you can better attract the tech-savvy young professionals your organization needs to succeed.
[3 Tips For Implementing Banking BYOD Initiatives]
As you move to implement BYOD in your bank, though, it's important to think through your approach carefully. A Ponemon Institute study found that regulated data is most at risk when it sits on a mobile device, according to 69% of respondents, which included U.S. IT and data security practitioners. Make sure you avoid the common pitfalls so BYOD can fully deliver on its promise for your bank -- not create a new set of headaches around technology, security, and compliance.
Pitfall 1: Taking a one-size-fits-all approach to BYOD
People often assume that BYOD means allowing employees to bring their own personal devices to work, and perhaps receive a stipend to offset their cost -- but this is not always the right approach. In fact, Citrix recommends considering a different model for BYOD in the banking industry: buying the device for the employee instead of providing a stipend. This fulfills the two essential aspects of BYOD -- increasing mobility and allowing user choice -- but makes it possible to maintain a level of control and management that employees might resent on a personally owned device.
Whether or not you choose to buy BYOD devices for your employees, there will still be some workers who bring their own personal devices into your environment: contractors and temps. While corporate devices can be managed at the device level, application-level management may be more appropriate for personal devices to allay concerns about privacy. You'll also need a way to ensure that enterprise data is never accessed or sent from personal accounts. To meet these needs, make sure the solutions that support your BYOD strategy offer the flexibility to selectively apply mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and secure mobile email as needed.
[To hear about Mobile Devices -- Technologies and Trends, attend the session at Interop on October 2.]
Pitfall 2: Addressing short-term needs through point solutions
As any technology executive knows, requirements change quickly. Often, enterprises launch their BYOD initiative with a device management mindset, and plan their technology approach accordingly -- only to discover that they need to provide enterprise-ready apps, data collaboration capabilities and access to legacy apps from mobile. Email management and secure browsing of intranet content are often overlooked as well, but represent equally important parts of a complete strategy for mobility and BYOD. Before long, the mobile environment becomes a hodgepodge of non-integrated technologies with all the management pain that implies. Many enterprises also realize much later that they have not addressed scalability and data throughput needs for mobile users. Before you take that first step, think about what it truly means to mobilize your business, and then form a technology strategy to address the full range of needs through an integrated platform.
Pitfall 3: Not considering the full range of platforms/devices/apps employees will use
Even if most of your employees will be on the same couple of platforms, we've all seen how fast market share and consumer tastes can shift. To future-proof your BYOD initiative, you need to be able to empower people on any type of device -- Windows, iOS, and Android on mobile; Windows and MacOS on laptops.
Think about how you'll deliver the full range of apps people rely on. For laptops, desktop virtualization provides a solution for diverse Windows and Mac platforms. For mobile devices, consider a staged approach beginning with the mobilization of core business apps like email, calendaring, and document access so people see immediate value. Follow this with vertical third-party apps like CRM or point-of-sale systems. Third, create mobile apps -- but make sure you also have a simple, scalable way to make Windows apps available on tablets without having to develop mobile versions one-by-one.
Pitfall 4: Leaving out a rich data collaboration platform
Employees often need to share sensitive data both inside and outside the organization, from non-public financial data to confidential M&A information. Unless you provide a convenient way for them to do so, they're all too likely to resort to a consumer service like Dropbox or Box -- creating a compliance nightmare. To prevent data leakage and other risks, you need a secure, managed, and fully auditable data collaboration platform -- one that provides a simple, consumer-like experience to ensure full adoption. This functionality should be accessible on PCs and Macs as easily as on mobile devices with full integration to the email clients to support the full spectrum of collaboration scenarios.
Pitfall 5: Having an incomplete BYOD policy (or none at all)
In a highly regulated industry like banking, a complete, well thought-our policy is essential for implementing BYOD without increasing risk. Your policy should encompass considerations such as eligibility, allowed devices, service availability, cost sharing, acceptable use, device support and maintenance, and -- most importantly -- security.
As the role of BYOD and mobility in banking grows, new ways of serving customers and empowering employees will transform our organizations. By avoiding these pitfalls, you can keep your institution at the leading edge of our industry.

LOS ANGELES – The Teen Choice Awards were aired tonight on Fox and the biggest winner was… LeBron James.
At the Teen Choice Awards, taped last night in Los Angeles, LeBron James arrived with all the Kardhasians: Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and… Khloe Kardashian. LeBron, who recently signed with the Miami Heat, has said that he wants to dominate The Los Angeles Lakers on, and off, the court. "And if that means I need to take everything from the Lakers, including Lamar Odom's wife, Khloe."
James told reporters, "I went to Miami with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade so that we can crush the Lakers every year. But I need to own them in every aspect of life." LeBron said that he hooked up with ALL the Kardashian girls after the Teen Choice Awards and that Khloe will be moving to Miami to be with him. "Yo, it's just like the NBA. If you had the choice between putting Lamar on your team, or me… who would you pick? Come on, get real."
"Forget about keeping up with the Kardashians, they gotta keep up with me," James added.
Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa Laine, and Pau Gasol's girlfriend, Silvia Lopez Castro both made statements saying that they will be "standing by their Lakers man" but LeBron is not worried. "They'll switch teams by the end of next season. You'll see. Count on it."
In other Teen Choice Award news…vampires came up big as "The Twilight Saga" won 12 times and "The Vampire Diaries" picked up seven awards. LeBron James hopped on stage, interrupting the show and said that he was currently working on his own vampire series set in Cleveland, entitled, "Cavalier Vampire." The show centers around a vampire superhero who kills all the LeBron haters in Cleveland. "It's a comedy," said James. LeBron went on to say that he would win ALL the Teen Choice awards next year. "You'll see. Count on it."
LeBron grabbed several surfboard awards and put them underneath his arms. "The only thing teens should be talking about is LeBron James. And they are not talking about LeBron James, then they shouldn't be teens. They should be adults."
The Kardashians are all happy to be with LeBron because "he's got a lot of money!," said Kylie Jenner. Bruce Jenner wanted to go with LeBron James too… but LeBron threw him out of the limo.
Here's Leighton Meester of "Gossip Girl" at the awards ceremony. Right after this video was shot, she left with LeBron James.
