10. Lost Girl
Lost Girl first aired in 2010 and it is a supernatural drama from Canada. While Canadian television is not a big thing with American audiences; there are some shows that manage to infiltrate the states and make an impact. Lost Girl was one of those shows.
When Lost Girl aired it was critically acclaimed and the audiences loved it. The central character was named Bo Dennis and she had an unusual ability. She could feed on the sexual energy of other people. This premise alone is what has helped to make the show a big hit with the masses. Bo was also bisexual and this element helped to make the show very modern and in tune with many modern American lifestyles.
9. Once Upon A Time
Once upon a Time was an unusual show but it was very original. It was an American television series that focused on a fairy tale drama in modern times. The program was set in Storybrooke which is an updated American seaside town that is cursed by an evil queen. Apparently, this evil ruler has doomed fairybook characters to live in Storybrooke outside of their element.
Emma Swan is the heroine in this show and she battles against the evil queen and her dark forces to uncover the truth. This show received good ratings and reviews and has been put on this list because of all the female empowering characters that play a role in this drama. Once upon a Time debuted in 2011.
8. Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Buffy used to be a normal girl who cheered for high school and who hung out with her friends. However, when a vampire invasion took over her city she was called upon by a descendent of Van Helsing to fight against the blood sucking savages. Then, her series was born.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was originally a movie that turned into a cult television show with a huge following. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the role of Buffy and she was hot blonde bombshell with great combat skills and vampire fighting abilities. Many people like Gellar's character because she was tuff, hardcore, smart and of course, very pretty. Buffy was the complete package and people tuned in to every episode to support this fact.
7. The 100
The television show 100 was about a Nuclear War that wiped out all life on Earth. It is 97 years after this fateful event and the only people alive are juvenile criminals who are sent from space out into the world to figure out if life can still exist on the planet. However, the juveniles are given free will to do as they please and then things get pretty interesting.
Some of the lead characters on the show were bisexual or gay. This included the females who appeared on the program. Many people from the LBGTQ community faithfully watched this program to view these individuals as they struggled to find a new life on Earth. They were really upset about the death of a fan favorite named Lexa. She was a bisexual female and very popular. This show was groundbreaking and had the first bisexual lead for a Cartoon Network Television Show.
6. Carmilla
Carmilla is a mysterious woman who is linked to the disappearance of many women. She attends a fictional university called Silas that is located inside of Austria. Carmilla becomes friends (and a roommate) to a female named Laura.
Laura is studying to become a journalist and is trying to figure out what has happened to all of the women that are vanishing form the campus. However, Carmilla is devious, brooding and just downright evil.
Fans like this show and they like the characters on them. The women are strong actresses with more than pretty looks to get them by. There are also plenty of bisexual and lesbian characters on the program the LGBTQ community have praised. This show debuted in 2014 and had a strong following when it was on air.
5. Outlander
Outlander was a British-American drama series based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon. The program is about a woman named Claire Randall. She is a World War II nurse that somehow slips through time to find herself in the Scottish Highlands during the late 18th century.
Randall has to adjust to her new life in this era while trying to find her way back home. This lead character finds love, battles foes and learns the way of the Scottish people. Many people tuned in to watch her every week and they loved her. The show received a People's choice award and the Critic's Choice Television Award for its work. This is one of the Top 10 Greatest Women Centric TV Shows of All Time till 2017.
4. Agent Carter
Peggy Carter was the leading figure on the Agent Carter Women program that aired back in 2015. Agent Carter is a part of the Marvel Comics Universe and her character has been featured in the Captain American and Avenger films.
In her show, Carter has to save the world from evil forces while facing sexism and other anti-female issues that were present in the 1940s. Many people liked the show because Carter is fun, heroic, flirty, pretty and very trendy.
3. Orange is the New Black
Orange is the New Black premiered in 2013 and has become an international sensation. The show is based off of a woman named Piper Kerman and her time in prison for a year. The heroine on the show is Piper Chapman (played brilliantly by Taylor Schilling) who is sent to jail for a past crime.
During her time in jail she encounters many different women from various walks of life. This program won numerous awards and has helped to make many of the actresses on the program a household name. Many females who followed the show really liked the portrayal of the women behind bars.
2. The Legend of Korra
The Legend of Korra is a cartoon show aimed at kids but more suited for young adults. This show is a follow up series to the Last Airbender. Ang has passed away and now his descendent Korra has become the next Airbender. She is learning how to use her new powers and discovering who she is during the process.
Korra's character was given high regard because she is positive, strong and very open about her sexuality. Yes, Korra was bisexual but the show's directors decided to keep her from coming out until the end of the series.
Many people who watched the show suspected that Korra was gay but could not prove it. In the last show of the series everything came out in the open. The fans were hyped up about what had happened. The Legend of Korra won numerous awards while it was on air.
1. Orphan Black
Another popular Canadian show that featured a strong female lead was Orphan Black. This show was about a street girl named Sarah Manning who was dealing with a disturbing past life. After she sees another woman commit suicide she is totally shocked.
The woman that kills herself looks exactly like Manning who assumes the dead woman's identity and takes on her lifestyle. The woman who killed herself was rich but had other dangerous problems. Once Manning gets involved in the lady's life she quickly discovers that she should have left her alone. This show was given many numerous awards and critical praise.
These are the Top 10 Greatest Women Centric TV Shows of All Time till 2017. Female based shows are empowering for women and very progressive. They connect with many women (and men) from contemporary life. People will usually tune in to watch their struggles, triumphs and accomplishments and to enjoy everything they have to offer.

Taking Care of Your Pets Health
Pet health is a vital part of pet care. No matter what the animal is, if you care for a pet properly you will ensure that it is happy and healthy. Owners must take full responsibility for pet care. Knowing what is required for the animal goes a long way. %%AFC-ADVERT%%
Vet Advice
Regular trips to the veterinary surgery for vaccinations are extremely important, and could ultimately save your pet's life. With the right vet advice, you are providing your animal with the best life. Different areas and climates may need certain injections for good pet health. Vet advice will help you to know which ones your animal needs. Veterinary staff ensure a healthy animal.
Get rid of fleas that your pet may have. Care for a pet by ensuring that it does not have to suffer flea irritation. Get vet advice for the right treatment.
Always make sure that the pet's bedding is clean. Stale water and old food are not good for pet health. Clean out the pet's home regularly to avoid build up of germs.
It may be worth investing in pet insurance. This provides peace of mind that pet care is always going to be dealt with. This is especially the case for older animals.
Care for a pet with the right food. A balanced diet is what you should be striving for. Do not be tempted to give your pet food just because you like it. Ask veterinary staff for advice on vitamin supplements.
Give your pet plenty of pet care and attention. Talk and care for a pet as much as you can.

UFC Fight Night 26: Was That Chael Sonnen's Best Win?August 18, 2013
Just when you think you've got him figured out, Chael Sonnen pulls out a new wrinkle and leaves you absolutely baffled.
Don't think so?
Go ask Shogun Rua.
The Brazilian star, a jiu-jitsu black belt who hadn't been submitted in six years, was left kneeling in the middle of the Octagon on Saturday night—kneeling in the middle of the Octagon wondering how he just got choked senseless by a part-time television analyst.
And so it goes for Sonnen, who won his first fight since early 2012 and finished his first since late 2011. Not that long ago people were suggesting he should retire to the comfort of the UFC Tonight desk; now they're listing guys from two different weight classes who might be his next fight.
That's how it works after the best win of your career—and make no mistake, beating Rua was the best of Sonnen's career.
Going into the cage with a champion or former champion and coming out the victor is something Sonnen had never done in the UFC. Earning the finish was something that Sonnen had only ever done once in the UFC, and never in the first round.
It was also his first UFC win at light heavyweight since 2006 and was a win in a weight class that he's probably too small to compete in these days.
To put it mildly, Sonnen impressed on Saturday night. He pressured Rua from the outset, avoiding danger coming at him from the bottom and maintaining positions of dominance for much of the round.
When a chance to finish presented itself, he trusted his game enough to jump guard—Chael Sonnen jumped guard on Saturday night—and clamp down with a choke. For years, Sonnen was content to ride out decisions with tireless wrestling and volume ground strikes, but not any more.
Now he's going for the kill.
The fact is that Sonnen is getting better with age, defying all logic and overcoming some of the most mentally and physically debilitating defeats seen in the Octagon in the past couple of years.
He's become a favorite of Fox Sports outside the cage and has somehow rejuvenated his career in two weight classes inside of it.
He's a game competitor with a gift for promotion and a guy who can beat almost anyone on any given day thanks to good wrestling, a deep gas tank and an evolving submission game.
At 36 years old, it seems that Sonnen is better than ever, and that was proven on Saturday night with the best victory of his career. The guy is a legitimate threat to anyone not named Jon Jones or Anderson Silva, and we all may have been too quick to hold that against him in the past.

USS Iwo Jima SCPOA Hosts Command Softball Tournament
By MC2
Andrew Murray
USS Iwo Jima Public Affairs
The amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima's (LHD 7) Second Class Petty Officers Association (SCPOA) hosted a command softball tournament May 5 to build command camaraderie through friendly competition.
Four ship teams – the SCPOA, the First Class Petty Officers Association (FCPOA), the Chief Petty Officer Association (CPOA), and the Wardroom – took to the diamond in front of their shipmates and family members.
After the last pitch was thrown, the same team that executed the event took home the championship. The SCPOA defeated the CPOA 29-22, and then won the championship over the Wardroom by a score of 24-4.
Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Michael Cundiff, SCPOA member and director of the tournament, said support from the upper chain of command made the event not only possible, but a big success.
"I think it went really well," said Cundiff. "We had a lot of support from the command. All the associations, and the Wardroom came together for this and everyone had a great time."
Capt. James Midkiff, commanding officer of Iwo Jima, said it was inspiring to see young leaders stepping up to the plate and putting on a well-organized event for their shipmates and families.
"I am so proud of the SCPOA for putting together an event such as this one that brings the entire ship out for a day of fun," said Midkiff. "Events like this really help bring the command together as a unit."
"We'd love to turn this into an annual or even semi-annual event," said Cundiff. "I'd like to get groups like the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions involved, so the third class petty officers and seaman have a team and can participate too."

TITLE: Tomorrow...
By annie mclean
Drenched in sweat, her pulse racing, Ellie knew her life was hanging in the balance. The pain was incredible. It felt like an elephant sitting on her chest. She could hear the siren in the distance. Lying on the floor clinging to the phone, she could hear the 911 operator's reassuring voice telling her help was on the way. Ellie could not believe this was really happening to her. She was 55 years old and was planning to retire this spring. She had worked as a nurse in the emergency ward for years and could recite the symptoms of a heart attack in her sleep. She had seen far too often the devastation that came with heart disease. Through the fogginess of her pain, Ellie knew that heart disease was now her reality.
She had struggled for years with being extremely overweight and had turned a blind eye to the elevated cholesterol numbers. The pounds had stealthily crept onto her once slim frame. It was a shock when she had stepped on the scales and saw the numbers '300' flashing at her. However, she had convinced herself the scales were not accurate.
Ellie had entertained herself with diets for years…she lost a few pounds…gained a few back, and so on. She had a lovely assortment of before and after pictures. The ones where you try to look as fat as you can, so when you lose a few pounds and then suck in your stomach and pose for a picture, you look so much slimmer. This of course leaves you with very impressive before and after pictures. She had an abundance of BEFORE pictures. Often as she ran around the ER taking care of patients, she would be aware of the fact that she was huffing and puffing like an old locomotive. Bending over and tying up her shoelaces was a major workout. Dreams of being slim and trim were but a faded memory.
She had some friends at work that had been losing weight and she had joined them for a while. They had successfully made lifestyle changes and had been able to eat healthy, exercise and now they looked fabulous. They would float around the ER unit with that 'healthy' glow that Ellie so desperately wanted. She of course was SO happy for them….not. It was so hard to see them succeed in their lifestyle change while she continued to watch the numbers on her scale get higher, rather than lower. She felt the ugly green monster of jealousy grip her spirit whenever the others would chat about their weight loss success.
Ellie was actually overwhelmed with the fruitlessness of her diets. She knew her body was a gift from God and that she should take care of it. However, there was a lot of stress and heartache in her life and whenever loneliness crept in…she would reach for the cookie jar. She would convince herself that she would truly begin to eat healthy TOMORROW. However, one pound led to 2 pounds…days to months and months to years of being overweight. Her body had suffered and now here she was lying on the floor with unimaginable chest pain. She felt like she was slipping away from reality. The room was spinning and each breath felt as if she was sucking through a straw. Vaguely she heard the front door being opened and voices that sounded a million miles away….

tag:fubar.com,2010:blog-333154 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:35:35 -0800 Ranting A fubar user blog. http://fubar.com/blog/333154 email@example.com (SassyBratCat) fubar tag:fubar.com,2010:BlogRSS-333154.post-1166789 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:35:35 -0800 2011-12-24T20:35:35-08:00 Respect me in my HOME
Just a thought here. A persons social network page is their "Home away from home" and so they might post a thought or belief that is their own opinion, whether it is religion or politics and what not. It's like praying before eating, even if you have guests over, right?? You'd hope that your guests repesct you and not tell you that you are wrong to pray in your own home. Ok, so on say, someones personal face book page, if it is their "Home" they should have the same right, to post an opinion on their own beliefs without someone commenting that their way of thinking is incorrect. I do not go around to other peoples pages to tell them that their way of thinking is false and that my way is the only right way. I may believe in God, but I respect the other people who do not. However, I believe that I should be able to post my opinion if it is on my own page. That is all I wanted to say. Thanks.

Me, being the attention whore that I am, am feeling as if I am invisible. I worked all day today, and my boyfriend felt as if the ten minutes of sitting down and eating a meal was more than enough time to spend together today. Instead of having an adult conversation with each other, this is what we do: sit next to each other in the office, in our own separate internet lands. I try to converse with him, but he has his head phones on and the music up so loud that even I can hear the music. I always tell him that if I were to get inured he would never be able to hear me screaming for help.

Now, what's worse, with me wanting attention tonight is that my best friend messages me to complain that her husband is ignoring her tonight. So we exchange frustrations, and then she tells me about a good thing that happened to her today, so I congratulate her and tell her the good thing that happened to me today. No congratulations from her. She switched to a totally different subject, not even commenting on my excitement. So, once again, ignored.

It's like adults can not hold conversations any more. She keeps doing this, changing from one subject to the other within a minute or two of starting a subject. I'm frustrated, irritated, ignored and on the verge of hunting for a frying pan to hit over my boyfriends head and then drive across town to my friends house to hit her as well. AND her husband, just for S and G.

Ok there, venting out of the way now.

Having a horrible day, emotionally unstable because of arguments with the bf and him telling me its best to move out. Called in to work to explain, 4 hours before my shift, what was going on, one person told me to just relax and get better, then put another manager on the phone and he told me to suck it up and calm down and to call back in two hours to talk to another manager. I feel that my 4 hour warning was enough for them, and they are telling me that if I do not come in to work toda that is job abandonment. I called to talk to the manager and she is being a bitch, I told her that I would come in, but I started crying and she said that i couldnt come in in that condition, but its okay coz she gets screwed every weekend, i told her that this is why i called 4 hours in advance. So screw me for needing ONE personal day. I will probably lose my job now.

I do not get some of the choices that people make in life. People make a choice to have 30 minutes of unprotected sex, and then if a pregnancy occurs they do not want to deal with that. You made the choice to have the unprotected sex. That is making a choice of possibly getting pregnant, or getting someone pregnant. So, it's ok to have the sex, but you don't want to own up to your 30 minute decision afterwards.

Then there's the people who get pregnant and put their child up for adoption, giving up their rights to the child. Then two years later they change their mind and go and kidnap the child. WTF is that? You gave up your right to that child.

People make me want to throw up.

First off I would like to start out by saying that next week I will not be online at all. Because I start a second job. This leads to the new rule I am going to have because... Firstly, at the moment I have been working the late shift at my first job. And I do not appreciate text messages coming to me at say...6 am. Because I am most likely asleep during that time. So, please do not text or call me between the hours of 1 am and 9 am mountain time. You can do the math and figure out what time zone that would be for you guys. Next, due to the fact that I will be working two jobs for at least one week, I will not be able to answer my calls or texts until I have a free period on a break or between jobs. So it would behoove you guys to just be patient if I don't answer my calls or texts right away. I am asking this nicely one time. And if any of you decide you cant abide this rule, then I will have to get bitchy about it. That's all for now. Thanks guys.

Before I go to work... My rant goes out to all the girls out on fu who are in their 30's who think its still cute to wear their hair like they are three. Such as..in PIG TAILS. We all know who you are..girl in spot light today, gross disgusting. And if any of you think that a female that old is hot in pigtails, please go register as a sex offender (coz they look three) right now, and delete me from your friends list. Thanks.

I've recently been hearing a quote that goes something like this: In life, we're given lessons. If you fail to learn your lesson the first time around, you'll keep getting served with that lesson repeatedly until we finally learn it. Until then, we can't move forward.
Realizing this, just a few months ago, has answered a lot of questions I used to have.
A couple years ago, a new recurring character made his entrance. It's not just one person, it's a different version of the same character each time. Sometimes a dude, other times, a woman. This jerk likes to play games. They like to wheel and deal. They want me to do a lot of really awesome work, but they don't have a lot of time to wait, they don't have a lot of (or in some cases, any) money (yet!) and they are extremely suspicious of others. Sometimes they try to take money out of innocent people's hands, in the worst cases.
I'm not going to go into extreme detail, because I'm sure you get the gist. I kept being pushed in front of these types of people, and I kept getting suckered into doing business with them, and it's almost needless to say, I was getting burned quite a bit. It hurt on a lot of levels. My bank account, my pride, and my confidence to keep going.
It literally happened six times in one year. I started to think that I must be the problem. There's something wrong with me, right? Otherwise these people wouldn't hate me so much, or something. I was very confused, tired and stressed to the max.
Things did turn around, thankfully, because a series of events, along with a few words of wisdom from some very wisely chosen friends helped me turn on that light bulb in my head, and made me realize what the lesson was.
I needed to develop an acute bullshit allergy. This term was gifted to me by one of my best friends. She'd learned this lesson a while back. She told me that she was flat out allergic to bullshit, so there's really none of it in her life.
It's so simple. When I sense bullshit, I close my mouth, say no more, and keep walking. Don't even entertain the notion of keeping company with it. No hard feelings, because no bond was ever initiated. It's no great loss to anyone.
So, there kind of was something wrong with me, but thankfully it wasn't that I was a bad person. It was just that I needed to learn to focus on real opportunities for success in business, and pretty much leave the other ones to themselves. The lesson was served to me SIX TIMES before I got it. Duh.

Pretty sure it was the ACL and the PCL.
Yeah, you may be right. Either way, serious injury that he may never fully recover from. Too bad, I think Mario was one of my favorite FA signings in recent memory. We should give him till training camp to see how he comes along, but barring an Adrian Peterson type of recovery, I think he'll be getting an injury settlement.
So even with Boldin and giving Williams time to recover (he's cheaper and younger), that still leaves us 2 WRs to replace.

Until we have 2 or 3 WRs that have ACTUALLY produced while in a 9er uniform under contract we have to throw picks and money at this problem.
In my book, both of the last two seasons did not end in superbowl wins because of poor WR depth.
Do you really want to see that happen a third time?????
You have two excellent route runners and a solid return guy. Not s bad list.

Filmmaker hopes to make documentary on unfair treatment of Joe Paterno by media
Explaining that the media are "cowardly stupid people," filmmaker John Ziegler told BuzzFeed that he is raising funds to produce a documentary outlining how the late Joe Paterno was unfairly attacked by the mainstream media during the fallout of the Jerry Sandusky trial.
Ziegler is best known for his documentary ripping the media for unfair treatment of Sarah Palin in 2008 (Ziegler later turned on Palin, saying he wouldn't support any Palin 2012 presidential campaign because she had no chance of being elected, and later calling her "selfish, hypocritical, sellout"), and a documentary called "Blocking the Path to 9/11" which criticized ABC's "The Path to 9/11" miniseries.
Now he's taking up the former Penn State coach's cause, or at least ripping the media for its coverage of him.
"I think the Penn State story is one of the worst examples of media malpractice that we've ever seen," he told BuzzFeed. "It was very clear to me early on this was a story ripe for media malpractice, but it was worse than I ever could have imagined."
To Ziegler, the media turned a story that should have been about Sandusky into a story about Paterno at a point when the NBA was on strike and there wasn't much other news in sports. So, he says, the media started to attack Paterno, who was fired by Penn State after the school determined Paterno didn't meet a moral obligation to do more than tell his bosses about allegations he heard about Sandusky from then-assistant Mike McQueary. Ziegler says that Paterno telling author Joe Posnanski that he wished he had done more is "the most misinterpreted statement in the history of man," apparently edging out Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake."
Paterno had, and continues to have, many supporters, including Ziegler:
"The idea that there was a cover-up in this case, a concerted cover-up, is absolutely, positively preposterous," he said. "It doesn't even pass the original smell test. It makes no sense, and it didn't happen, and that I'm sure of."
Ziegler, who is also a radio talk-show host, said he has already raised $26,000 for the project.

ReVision Urban Farms to lead city's pilot Urban Agriculture Project
(Image courtesy ReVision Urban Farms )
Victory Program's ReVision Urban Farms was recently named one of the organizations to lead a city initiative to create more opportunities for urban farming in the city.
The non-profit group currently has an urban farm located on Fabyan Street and a farm-stand on Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester.
"We are thrilled for the opportunity to develop the vacant lot on Tucker Street into a fertile and lush vegetable garden. This new land for agriculture will ensure that our community of neighbors and friends in Dorchester will always have direct access to healthy food, grown locally, and sold at affordable costs," Jonathan Scott, president of Victory Programs, said in a statement.
The city's Department of Neighborhood is hearing the urban agriculture program.
The program's new location at an 18,000-square-foot lot on Tucker Street in Dorchester was approved by the Boston Zoning Commission in November for development by Victory Programs and the group has already begun readying the property for planting.
"We also have the added, benefit of increasing volunteer opportunities, especially in the summer for Dorchester youth. There are dozens of new ways this small farm will give back locally to the Tucker Street and the surrounding community," said Scott in a statement.
To increase community involvement in the process Victory Programs, according to a release from the group, has established the "Tucker Street Community Advisory Board", made up of staff and community residents, to better address concerns from neighbors.
Since 2005 Victory Program's ReVision Urban Farm has produced locally grown, organic produce at it half-acre Fabyan Street location.

South Korean Cinema Lobbies Overtaken By Robots
ED Corporation's "Cinema Companion" service robot has started selling movie tickets in theater lobbies as part of a new pilot program. The company's first stab at the idea, CIROMI, didn't have a card slot and couldn't print tickets but the new robot is fully equipped to complete customer transactions. Unfortunately the robot's personality is limited to its garish design, and it looks like using one would be no different than a standard kiosk. The robot does have one extra perk thanks to its mobility and built-in camera; it can autonomously patrol the cinema after hours to expand security and send live video feed to the guard station.

We will crush the Rebellion in one fell stroke!"
Crush the Rebellion is a structured storytelling game with an emphasis on competitive worldbuilding. What does that mean? It's an RPG where the players are working against one another to accomplish their own agendas and build and establish the setting.
Designed by C. Steven Ross of Triumph & Despair, Fourthcore Team Deathmatch, and DDE Adventures (man, this guy gets around!). The game is a bit of an Apocalypse World hack, but also contains a lot of elements of Night Witches.
In the game, each player will take on the role of elite imperial agents working for the Emperor himself. These characters each have specific an secret agendas they must accomplish in order to win the game. There is no single game master. Instead, that role shifts around the table as the game progresses.
The game mashes up elements of Star Wars, Dune and Warhammer 40,000 to create a multi-galactic-spanning empire with mystical abilities and dark secret agents. The Emperor is reclusive, but a known prophet. Each player holds a piece of prophecy the Emperor has told them, which will factor into their actions during the game.
Speaking of actions, the actions you can perform in the game are on a large, sweeping scale. You don't "Move" and "Attack", but instead "Betray an Agent," "Travel," perform an "Operation", or even "Face the Emperor". Actions have long-reaching consequences, and operate on a large scale. As an example, in The Empire Strikes Back, Admiral Ozzel's tactical operation of dropping the Imperial Fleet close into the Hoth system would be a "Prepare" action, attempting to get the upper hand on the rebellion. Unfortunately, it failed, requiring General Veers to perform an "Operation" action, which would act to fulfill the entire Battle of Hoth.
The game utilizes both cards and character sheets in order to randomly ascribe secret identities and agendas to each player, keeping everyone in the dark as to everyone else's true motives.
The art in the book is simple and straightforward, utilizing Galactic Empire iconography, as well as nazi wardrobes (even more nazi than Galactic Empire regalia is anyway). A few pieces of art call to mind Dune as well. They are straightforward, simple line drawings, but they get the point across.
With a few hours with your friends, you can create a fascinating story of triumph and betrayal as you and your friends take up arms and Crush the Rebellion.
DDE Adventures sent a copy of Crush the Rebellion to Dice Monkey for our perusal and review.
Another fantastic product by Cubicle 7.
I picked this up, since I had the 11th Doctor Edition of Doctor Who. This short and compact guide gives you a great wealth of adventures to play in in the time of the 10th Doctor. The great thing is, they all work with the 11th Doctor as well.
I would recommend anyone getting the 11th Doctor Edition to pick this one up as well.
I've just recently gotten into Dr. Who, and have really been enjoying it. Now, there's magically a new edition of the Good Doctor's RPG? Perfect timing!
This game is just gorgeous, with fantastic photos throughout, featuring the 11th Doctor, Rory, Amy and River Song.
The rules are nice and basic, allowing for more roleplaying, less rollplaying. There are also some really fantastic adventure ideas.
I thought it would be hard to come up with stories within the Dr. Who universe. After all, there's the Doctor and his companions. Then what? Turns out, there are an infinite number of possibilities in the world of Doctor Who.
Here it is! The big review of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game. I was kindly sent a review copy from Margret Weis Productions, and wanted to share my thoughts here. Face front, true believers!
The Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game is unlike anything you've seen before, while at the same time, familiar. It shares a similar ruleset to Leverage and Smallville, and to a lesser extent, Serenity and Battlestar Galactica, but is interpreted in a whole new way, to create a more dramatic and combat-focused game.
Whereas Smallville spent more time dealing with relationships, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying focuses more in interaction between characters, as well as combat. It isn't a combat-centric game, but, being about superheroes, the rules definitely give you the ability to hit things.
The Mechanics
The Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game uses a dice pool mechanic. Using various options on your character sheet (Affiliations, Distinctions, Power Sets), you add dice to your pool, roll the dice, and choose your best two. All rolls are opposed rolls.
You are then able to choose one other die that's left over to use as your effect, basically determining how powerful your roll was, if successful.
If you roll any 1s, those dice are given to the Watcher (Game Master), which are added to his Doom Pool. The Doom Pool can be used for all kinds of bad things, and work similarly to Plot Points.
Plot Points are given to players in certain circumstances, including a player purposefully giving themselves a bad roll. They can use these Plot Points later to get more dice in their roll, as well as activate more powerful abilities.
An interesting thing a player gets to add to their pool is their Affiliation. Each hero works well as either a Solo character, a Buddy character, or a Team. If you have a d10 in Solo, you will have a d10 to roll in your pool, whereas if you only have a d6 in it, that's what you'll roll. This means you'll have to use some tactics to make sure you're paired-up (or not) to what works best for you. In addition, the Watcher can use their Doom Pool to either separate or push heroes together in order to disadvantage the players.
Distinctions are a key word or phrase that can be used to advantage or disadvantage a player. For example, Captain America's Man Out of Time could be used to allow him to remember something that happened in the 40's, but used to disadvantage him when covering something that happened while he was on ice. If it's used as a disadvantage, the player is given a Plot Point. Pretty nifty.
Characters also have specialties, which are similar to Skills in other games, and an either be Expert or Master level. Basically, if you are in a situation where one of your specialties apply, you can use that die.
Milestones are a mechanic that is similar to Lady Blackbird, where you have certain key roleplaying moments that give you XP for performing the actions on the milestones.
One interesting thing about the way a character's turn works is that a character is able to perform any action that could be performed in a single frame of a comic. In addition, whoever's turn it is decides who next gets to act, meaning that there is no set turn order from round to round.
Character creation is fairly robust, but has no real hard or fast rules. It's more of a "do what works best, and ask your Watcher if this is okay." I like the idea behind it, and look forward to making characters of my own.
There's a mini-event in the Basic Game, similar to the Event books that will be coming in the future (Civil War, Annihilation, Age of Apocalypse). The event is basically issues 1-6 of the New Avengers. It deals with the breakout of the supervillains from the Raft prison in New York. The storyline is pretty straightforward, but features a lot of villains that will lead to interesting conflict between them and the heroes. For example, the Purple Man is one of the prisoners, and if one of the players is playing Luke Cage and knows the backstory between the two, you can have a really fascinating scene.
There's a wide variety of villains, but most are fairly minor bad guys. This gives you the opportunity to introduce bigger villains that you've made the stats for yourself later on.
Halfway through the event, the heroes can make their way to the Savage Land, which leads to some fantastic "superhero vs. dinosaur" action.
It's a great event to introduce players to the system and the world (if they're unfamiliar with it).
There are a great variety of heroes in the book, including all of the major players in the universe, such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man and more. There's quite a few women to play, which was encouraging to see, such as Invisible Woman, Emma Frost, Shadowcat and a few more. Each datafile really captures the feel of the heroes.
Overall Impressions
This is a great, fantastic game system, one which is robust, easy to use, and will, I think, stand the test of time. Go check it out now.
This is some great stock art. While there are some weaker points to the set, there are some phenomenal pieces that could easily be used for the cover or interior artwork of your next RPG book.
Of particular note is the white dragon, with its intricate armor, and the ice giant battling the group of adventurers. Both are fantastic works, and I'll be looking at adding them to my next book. Pick it up!
Once again, Darkmook has made a fantastic piece of art. This set features a modern magician, flying carpet, and some excellent mummies. They've also begun to include some very cool sets for use in your games. I highly recommend this set, along with any other Darkmook paper minis.
A fantastic portrayal of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit, the One Ring is a gorgeous book with fantastic rules that are reminiscent of Mouse Guard.
I highly recommend it. It's the most accurate portrayal of LOTR in any RPG.
Quinn Murphy sent me a review copy of his first Worldbreaker, Etherkai. The terrifying creature is a creature literally of nightmares.
What is a worldbreaker? To quote Quinn: "Imagine a monster of such power and presence that, for a short period of time, it drastically alters the world around it. A monster that changes the rules of the game, presenting players with unexpected twists, new and interesting mechanics and previously unfathomable problems. A worldbreaker is a solo unlike any other in 4e. Each monster comes with an engaging story, evocative art, and exciting mechanics."
There will be nine monsters total, with Etherkai being the first.
The great thing about Etherkai's back story, is the use of elements of the world that you recognize, but aren't copyrighted: Underearth, the Chained God… If you know your 4e D&D lore, you'll recognize their analogues in the world easily, making the dragon feel like it's a part of the world you're already playing in.
Etherkai was imprisoned by the Chained God, and has now escaped. His twisted psychic powers feed on nightmares, and his mechanics reflect that.
All Worldbreaker monsters unleash a Worldbreaker power. In Etherkai's case, it's the Nightmare's Gate. The players must rush to close the Nightmare Wells that fill the battlefield. Anyone who fails a skill check while near these wells loses a healing surge. Gone. Etherkai also gains an extra temporary 120 HP. Yikes.
At 10th level, Etherkai makes the perfect villain for the end of a Heroic Tier adventure. All events can lead up to the final showdown with him, as Etherkai summons Nightmare Warriors (one per turn, at 40 HP each!) and throws off conditions like they were made of paper.
It's a terrifying monster, one that Quinn has done a fantastic job of bringing to life.
Once again, DarkMook knocks it out of the park. Evocative, well drawn and well colored, this set features troops in biohazard suits ready to take down and contain zombies or other horrors. Fantastic once again.
I recently was in contact with Dr. Jonathan Jacobs of Nevermet Press, and received a review copy of Nevermet's latest endeavor, Brother Ptolemy & The Hidden Kingdom.
The book is a 4e "Adventure Setting", which means that while it does have an adventure, that's only a small part of this book in comparison. It's a really cool concept, so let's see how it works!
Chapter one opens with a history of who Brother Ptolemy and the Hidden Kingdom are, a group of monks who have found the secret to undeath. The chapter gives information on the group's goals and organization. The group often recruits the homeless and forgotten, considering no one will miss them once they're gone. They also hide their undead faces behind masks as part of their garb.
The chapter includes stat blocks for Ptolemy and his monks. What impressed me most was that there are seven different stat blocks for the monks, not including Ptolemy. And they're different, unique monsters, of mid-heroic tier. It would be pretty easy to begin slipping this group into your campaign from the beginning, reaching a boiling point around level six in your campaign.
Chapter two introduces a new disease, the Red Harvest, a fairly brutal 9th Level disease which has the opportunity to permenantly change a character into a "plague stalker", driven mad with the desire for blood.
The disease even effects plants, turning all into a deep rust color. Soon the land looks bathed in blood, not the type of place you want to visit on vacation.
The plague stalker template itself can be truly terrifying, as entire villages will be overrun with the disease and turn into a zombie-like horde. Not only are the villagers themselves overtaken, but animals as well. There are some really terrifying ideas presented, which could end up becoming quite a plague (no pun intended) on your players.
Chapter three presents the City-State of Corwyn, a sprawling city on the banks of a river, which could really be placed in any fantasy world. The chapter talks about the Red Monks of the Hidden Kingdom rescuing the city from almost certain doom when the Red Harvest overtook the lands many years ago, putting the city in the monk's debt. The monks now walk freely in the streets, and the townspeople are blissfully unaware of the sinister secrets behind the brotherhood of monks.
Chapter four is the adventure proper, with the heroes finding themselves at odds with the Hidden Kingdom. It's designed for 5th level heroes, and deals with the resurgence of the Red Harvest. There are quite a few NPCs introduced throughout, and a lot of opportunity for roleplaying. There's a really large chunk of the section designed purely for information gathering and roleplaying, which I like a lot. Eventually, however, the Red Harvest comes calling, and the plagued walk the streets, giving the players a run for their money, until they must go to the Von Brandt manor to face the leaders of the Hidden Kingdom in their base of operations. The game doesn't end there, but in the eventual trial of the monks, which is pretty cool to read about. I've wanted to run a trial in a game for a long time now, and this shows me how to do it.
Chapter five has magical items, including my favorite, the Beggar's Coin, which takes the hunger out of a hungry man by simply pressing it into their hand, but only if you have less than 5gp on you.
Finally, Chapter six presents new feats and rituals for the members of the Hidden Kingdom to perform, which are good, solid new rules.
The Appendix in the back has some great adventuring hooks for getting your players involved in the intrigue behind it all as well.
In all, at 110 pages, this is a fantastic book for anyone looking for some awesome and creepy new adversaries in their 4e D&D game. Definitely check it out.
My kid needs to grow up already.
With the release of rpgKids 1.5, there's no reason not to get your kids into RPGs. Enrique's update to rpgKids which appeared both on his website and in the Open Game Table 2.
Enrique sent me a review copy to look at, and it's a really, really solid product. He's had some great reactions, and as of this moment, it's #4 on the RPGNow Hottest Items list.
The game is a simple, straightforward roleplaying game to teach kids concepts such as math, taking turns and rational thinking. It encourages the use gridded maps and miniatures, which I approve of, because I think it engages a child's tactile and visual senses.
There are four character types a child can play: Sword Fighters, Wizards, Archers and Healers. Archers have to keep track of the number of arrows they use, to help with math skills, healers can heal allies and when they attack, hit everything adjacent to them, sword fighters can team up with other sword fighters, while wizards are the only ones who can read magic, making them invaluable outside of combat.
Combat rules are very simple, with a d12 being rolled by each side, and the higher winning. The rules are very simple and easy to understand, making it ideal for kids. In fact, it seems like it would be quite easy for a child to run an entire adventuring party, and I've seen Enrique's kid do that very thing on the videos he's posted on his site.
The book also contains counters and a 1" grid for making adventures. It's pretty nifty, with nice simple crayon drawings of heroes and monsters.
The book concludes with a nice little adventure called The Lair of the Frog Wizard, in which the evil wizard is turning the town to frogs, and the must stop him. Its a great introduction to the game, and really shows the style of play you should be using with your kids.
I look forward to seeing what else Enrique comes out with in the future. I'd love to see a Sci-Fi version of this for kids who love Star Wars, or even a Super Hero one.
Today, I'll be reviewing the Open Game Table, Volume 2. I was sent a physical review copy by Jonathan Jacobs, one of the editors for the book.
Right off the bat, I'm going to tell you that I'm pretty biased towards this book. Many of my friends are published in here, and it's really cool to see their blog posts in print.
This book is a collection of blogs from around the interwebs, many from the RPG Blogger's Network.
The books is really well laid out, with thirteen different broad topics covered: Gaming roots & reflections, new players/new games, campaign success & failure, lies, tricks & more damned lies, campaign design choices, of sandboxes & railroads, play style, character style, 4e D&D, Old School RPGs, make it a challenge, the RPG toolbox, and "laughing hyenas" (comedic posts).
A few notable posts really stand out to me, which I'll talk about.
For those who haven't seen ChaoticShiny.com, it's Hannah's site for random generators she's come up with, allowing you to create civilizations, pantheons, mottos, regions and more. It's a great way to piece together ideas for a campaign world.
The KBGP2 is an .exe file (sorry Mac users) which gives you lots of possibilities for designing your own kingdom, including fashion, armies, law, place names, conspirators, events, and even flags!
The first tab in the program is for your Kingdom & Hooks. This generates your Kingdom name, who its ruled by, prominent places, some laws, recent events in the kingdom, notable individuals, how the army is run, and current fashion. Some results seem odd (since it is a random generator), but you can get some really interesting variations on strange lands.
I had it generate me a kingdom, and here's what it came up with:
Kingdom Name: Traetael
Ruled By: A philosopher-queen
Prominent Places: Kraemi Strait, Restdaisy Foothill, Treatmiss Jungle, Leastgator County, Wrackblade Wetlands
A Few Laws: The penalty for a nonhuman striking a courtesan is a few months' imprisonment.
The penalty for insulting a juvenile is a few months' imprisonment.
Recent Events: In a northeastern township bandits have become prevalent and a beholder has been plaguing a village. Meanwhile, an important bard has gone missing. A prominent socialite may be involved.
There has been a string of kidnappings near the eastern region and there have been severe droughts for the past several years. A prominent socialite may be involved.
A prominent socialite has been stirring up discontent in the southeastern township and there is a dangerous drought.
Notable Individuals: Alorrel, the proud master artisan who recently had a sudden change in alliance. She has few open allies. Rumors say that she has some interesting relationships with certain warriors. She can usually be found at all the biggest social events. She is wiry with mismatched eyes and black hair. The kind guard captain Scethai is her ex-lover. The arrogant adventurer Cansan is her lover.
Cand, the slothful, smug foreigner who has been preaching the new religion. He has questionable allies. He is short with a pierced lip and piercing blue eyes. The talented spy Inoulloe is his adversary.
Army: Traetael's army is famed for its accurate archers and the use of flails. They often make use of rogues. They are famous for their high-quality weapons and for flashy tactics.
Current Fashion: This fashion features soft, scanty tan and blue-green garments. Tops are typically short sleeved with low necklines. Jodhpurs and pants are also customary. Capes are popular accessories. Leather and collars are staples of the style. Bright blue, deep red, and vibrant blue are also common colors. The wealthy and the poor wear very different clothing.
As you can see, there's a lot of hooks there for you to expand upon. Even from the second line "Ruled by a philosopher-queen", you begin thinking; how does being a philosopher effect her rule? With recent events, you've got at least three different game sessions each time you hit the "Generate Kingdom" button. That's a lot! You'll keep your party occupied for months!
Sometimes, the results are less than stellar (an example being that "the penalty for insulting a juvenile is a few months' imprisonment"). However, it gets your mind working, in figuring out why that would be in this kingdom. And if you don't feel like spending the brainpower, just tell it to generate again, or go over to the "Law" tab.
The other tabs are more detailed versions of the different events of the Kingdom & Hooks tab. you're able to generate any number of armies and choose what suits you best, as well as place names (which could work very well when you're in a pinch) as well as conspirators. The conspirators are a bit unusual, since I'm not sure why they're named as such. I would most likely have named them "shady characters" if I was designing it, but I supposed conspirators works just as well.
The Flag tab is really cool. With it, you can come up with all kinds of strange and unusual coats of arms, with pictures of dragons, unicorns, pegasuses, and more.
You can set specific parameters, including colors, only using heraldric colors, and even import your own pictures for the symbols.
In all, the Kingdom Builder is a definite must-have for anyone trying to come up with their own kingdoms, and those who could use a little help coming up with various hooks and NPCs.
Not a bad game for kids, the game probably won't hold much interest for adults. The rules are very, very simple, and a ton of space is set aside for explaining to kids how to play and GM.
To be honest, I was hoping for a little bit more robust a system, but as a game for kids, give it a try.
I was sent a free review copy of the Conflict Roleplaying Rulebook recently by Conflict Roleplaying, and have perused it.
Conflict is a roleplaying game supplement by Mark M. Scott for the Pathfinder and OGL d20 rule systems, allowing for a group of players to play PVP combat while making sure the game is balanced for any rules the players may be using from any supplement.
The book is 120 pages of gaming goodness, providing some very interesting ways of dealing with arena type campaigns where your sole goal is to wipe your enemy off the map.
The book details types of matches, map elements, feats, and some pre-generated characters.
This almost completely redesigns how character creation is done. You aren't trying to create a compelling character, you're creating a battlefield terror, intent only on destroying your enemies. The cover of the book is a well painted piece of art detailing two knights in combat (as you can see on the right) and the rest of the book is in greyscale, with decent art throughout.
This book looks like it took a lot of time and a lot of playtesting to pull off.
The idea of the Battlepoints system is that, based on your level, you are given a certain number of battlepoints to spend on your class, magical and non-magical items, as well as different battlefield conditions. The DM plays the role of the referee, which allows for secret movement and orders by the players through sheets called "passcards" which let the players write out their plans on them, including what attacks they'll make, what square they'll be moving into, and any other condition the DM needs to know.
There are many different game types, including "Ambush," "Kill of the Hill," "Hellbreak," "Regicide," and "Brother's Keeper." Each one has specific win conditions that must be met in order for one team or the other to win. Within each type of game, there are other variants, so you aren't likely to run out of options any time soon.
Conflict Laws are special rules the DM can apply to nearly any game, adding even more options, such as Dead Lands, which cancels out all magic in the battle, or Fog of War, which makes it more difficult to attack the enemy with range attacks.
There are 15 team feats presented, which allow you to benefit not only yourself, but others on your side. Mostly involving distracting an opponent so the other can move in for a hit, or holding the enemy while another lands blows on him.
There's also a pair of hefty guides within, once for the DM, the other for players, and gives some good tips on different conflicts and how they can be run.
In the game Bridget and I tried, we had a blast, pounding the snot out of each other across the excellent map provided. It was pretty awesome.
Overall, this is a very solid product, with some great options for a game group who is tired of the standard grind and wants to take their aggression out on one another. It's definitely a book I would recommend to any Pathfinder and 3.5 players out there.

Entertaining Day Trips to Carefree and Cave Creek
Experience the Old West
Nestled in the Sonoran Desert foothills of the Black Mountain 15 miles north of Scottsdale are two charming towns that draw visitors wishing to experience a bit of the Old West. There are no professional sports teams here. Instead, tourists can enjoy guided horseback riding, biking and hiking in desert and mountain terrains, hayrides, cookouts, ancient ruins, saloons, live music and theater, rodeos, great restaurants, art galleries, museums, golf, jewelry stores and southwestern specialty shops.
Cave Creek is located on the western boundary of Carefree and was established in the 1870s as a gold mining town. The residents are proud of their heritage, and local events maintain a wild-west flavor. The older buildings resemble structures from the gold rush era and add considerable character to the town. Carefree, on the other hand, is a planned upscale residential community created in the late 1950s. Today it is home to numerous restaurants, galleries, festivals and the Carefree Desert Garden, which is a public botanical garden that showcases beautiful specimens of indigenous flora.
Undeveloped land allows visitors the opportunity to appreciate the area's natural beauty, and Cave Creek Regional Park achieves this goal with approximately 3,000 acres of verdant desert terrain. This park contains public bathrooms, picnic areas and numerous trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Spur Cross Ranch is another attractive municipal park with challenging trails that lead from the desert floor into the mountains of the Tonto National Forest. Spur Cross is spectacular in the spring when the wildflowers are in full bloom. With almost 3 million acres, the Tonto National Forest is the fifth largest national park in the United States. The park contains both desert and mountains, and visitors enjoy hiking, riding and camping. Water activities include fishing, swimming, tubing and waterskiing in the park's rivers and lakes.
Miles away from the congestion of big cities, the mountains and desert provide unique recreational activities. Adventurers can choose to race across the desert in an all-terrain-vehicle, glide high above the land or dive below the water to explore the lakes and rivers in scuba gear. Additional possibilities include hot air ballooning, skydiving, rock climbing and cattle drives. Golf courses and hiking, biking and equestrian trails offer varying degrees of difficulty, which allow participants to choose their own level of exertion.
Carefree and Cave Creek are home to a flourishing colony of artists, writers, actors and musicians who contribute to the inherent charm of the two towns. There is live entertainment available almost every night, and the Desert Foothills Theater presents shows throughout the year.
In summary, Carefree and Cave Creek are a 25-minute drive from North Scottsdale and offer visitors a unique experience. These towns have a little bit of everything. Come here for a drink and a show at an Old West saloon, watch a rodeo, participate in a cattle drive, browse the art galleries or shop in the unique boutiques. The choice is yours.

Guys, I sent you a few suggestions for this Store Locator improvement, hope to get your reply.
I found a very minor bug which I reported via a support ticket and it was resolved within 2 hours.
Great communication all round.
One feature I would like to see would be the ability to import store location data via CSV
Magento Version: 126.96.36.199
I bet the module will be a real catch to all merchants running both online and offline stores.
The opportunity to customize settings for different store views is priceless, as we run our store in 3 languages and each store view requires properly translated google mark templates. We've been using the tool for about a month already and haven't noticed any issues yet.
I definitely recommend the updated version to others.
