Review of The Day After Ragnarok, the Kenneth Hite
The Day After Ragnarok setting is written by Kenneth Hite and published by Atomic Overmind, which until now has been adapted for two popular systems: Savage World and HERO SYSTEM. Kenneth Hite is an author with many tables in the scene, which probably sounds more than a manual for his work as for GURPS Weird War and the Trail of Cthulhu to GUMSHOE. And the truth is that this experience shows, because The Day After Ragnarok , although modestly known as a manual, technical accuracy overflows on all sides beyond their creative qualities. How is this note? Well, probably in a digest format manual under 130 pages (of which 50 are purely for Savage Worlds rules) we will find an atmosphere with more resources and better presented than in most of the volumes of 350-400 pages circulating out there. Kenneth Hite's prose is precise, fast and fun, and is slowly engulfing us in a rich setting a great pace. In this world, but in many others, we often realize that have a great idea is one thing, and know how to present it in ways that might not alter the reader is quite another. The Day After Ragnarok fortunately successful, and this is probably the best thing you can say a manual setting.
a world devastated by
SNAKE
"The Nazi myth Which is important ... [to] men like Hitler Requires a Götterdämmerung ..."
-US War Department Counterintelligence Assessment, Feb. 12, 1945
all begins in Nazi Germany by the allied forces surrounded the edge of defeat. The forces of Montgomery, Bradley and Zhujov relished the victory, and the German radio Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods, the Norse Ragnarok) of Wagner could be heard day and night. And then in a final act mean, the SS carried out the rituals that were successfully extracted from the verse of the Norse myths, waking Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent. No one who looked like her, or a lot of Chinese under a paper snake waving sticks, invoked the mythical serpent, the daughter of Loki and Angrboda.
That's how everything starts with the Nazis beginning the Ragnarok. As will continue throughout the rest of the atmosphere, Kenneth Hite resorts to actual data used as a substrate to make the legend grow . Both the appointment of the Department of Counterintelligence and the fact that the SS had a specific group responsible to seek ritual verses from Norse mythology are true. But let's go.
When a snake's head appeared about 350 miles
devouring the Azores allied commanders were worried slightly. Although the body of the snake (which according to the myths could circle the planet) had not yet fully emerged, Americans felt the threat was great enough to use against the snake's ace in the hole. A lone B-29 took off from Iceland, piloted by Captain Joseph Westover and carrying in their gut nuclear weapons. In a heroic act that would be remembered (or not), he directed his plane into the eye of the snake and blew himself up in an explosion nuclear beheaded mythological monster.
body crushed France and Germany, cutting off the USSR from the west by the curtain call of the Serpent (Serpent Curtain). Also crushed half of England and much of Africa. Huge earthquake ravaged the planet, and the head was a giant tsunami that swept the Atlantic most of the U.S.. The snake venom spread as rain, creating hideous monsters everywhere. His daughters (giant snakes) infested the world, and the USSR, the beginning of the Ragnarok, Stalin managed to raise a few mythological giants who managed to join his cause by assuring them that their villages had been slaughtered by their German enemies evil. This, of course, a lie. Moreover, the nuclear explosion combined with the impact of the body of the serpent threw tons of ash into the atmosphere, causing a nuclear winter that followed its natural course Ragnarok the Fimbulwinter.
Since this is where it really gets better, in my opinion . Perhaps one of the best things about The Day After Ragnarok is the way Kenneth Hite develops a geopolitical context with the snake as a basis, using data intelligently to both historical and invented to give a story with strong pulp influence a splendid aura of verisimilitude. The amount of influence that runs The Day After Ragnarok are numerous: spy movies, pulp literature, tales of Robert E. Howard, Norse mythology ... But despite that the setting is not without a solid foundation with some elements very well indefinitely. When you finish explain why the USSR used mythological giants, or why such a site is a strategic point for the interests of the Rockery Royal Air Force (paragraph), all I can think is "Oh, yeah, makes sense."
The Day After Ragnarok is more than the sum of its parts, and I find it difficult to summarize just some of the great ideas presented in the manual, as is how it all fits together smoothly and takes a global sense the most outstanding This atmosphere. I can say that the British Empire is one of the great powers, with its headquarters moved to Australia, one of the few countries that have escaped the worst consequences of Ragnarok, and maintaining a war sometimes disguised, sometimes not both against the USSR, the most powerful. Both powers hold a stiff competition to extract the dead body of the snake to boost its technology secrets. Secrets that have enabled a new branch of science, OPHI-Tech, and the emergence of that paragraph UK.
In the ravaged and divided U.S. the thing is much less subtle, as their lands were covered almost entirely by the tsunami and the snake venom, making 90% of the country in the Poisoned Lands, a wasteland full of mutants and dangerous animals where people struggle to survive . Wastes which stands, of course, Red Iowa, a city dominated by a mad dictator who has declared himself a communist state populated by lunatics, with a roll similar to Rapture, the city's saga Bioshock. In Spain, meanwhile, nor mythological snakes get rid of Franco, that have remained on the sidelines of the Second World War and to be lucky to have escaped the worst of Ragnarok and be isolated from the USSR The Curtain of the Snake, has one of the largest armies and powerful secret service agents full of sorcerers and Nazi survivors, refugees under the mantle of dictatorship. So now you know: are the bad guys. Although not as much as the USSR, you already know that this is written by an American.

RESOURCES FOR MASTER
However, as I always say, an atmosphere can be very good and very well be unplayable. So that does not happen, The Day After Ragnarok resorts to various resources. One is not ever lose sight of the scale of adventures, so despite the focus on describing the overall picture includes several sections with specific information of important and specific events that inspire us. Also, under the heading of DJ are several utilities for building campaigns, such as tables to generate events, creating hostile locations or define a scenario based on the level of degradation due to Ragnarok is in each place.
-Wolves Beyond the Border: is the type of more conventional post-apocalyptic campaign where heroes are a heterogeneous group of adventurers to be tough to survive in a hostile environment. It is set in the most dangerous areas, such as Poisoned Lands, Africa or the Pacific Islands.
-Servants of the Crown: designed for a group of players whose characters are all from the same faction. Features as the M15, Free China, SIS, Rhodes University (the largest research center in the world OPHI Tech) or the Great State of Texas.
-Phoenix and the Sword: pjs here still belong to a single faction, but its aim is to improve the world somehow. They may have to rebuild a country, or blow the head of Franco.
For these three types of campaigns include ideas of adventures, traditional characters, antagonists likely, rewards and similar settings in which inspiration. There is also a method of generating random campaigns, although he would never resort to mortgage a year of play sessions is a manual tool that offers masters.
EDITION
Editing The Day of Ragnarok is similar to the Adventurers Edition of Savage Worlds: digest format and paperback. The interior is in black and white, and the layout is very good, but maybe the font size makes it difficult to read some typed documents that complement the content. The illustrations are of good quality, and should highlight the section of vehicles, with photos of the era to illustrate each one of them. I hope this format will continue to expand, because the truth is that I love, by the value for money it offers. I'm tired of spending 35 euros on a core or supplement for a game. Savage Worlds has made perfect in my opinion: a basic $ 10 color with the system, and then a wide range of settings for $ 20 (if it is true that others have thought of adapting environments for SW as Deadlands, Mars and Solomon Kane in this format) I am sure that sooner or later I'll finish making me all. CONCLUSION
The Day After Ragnarok is probably one of the manuals that I really liked in recent years, and become for me a reference as to what that refers good atmosphere. The feeling I had throughout the entire reading has been to continually run into great ideas, surprising and having fun with each one of them. It is surprising that the approach of an atmosphere like this not only has not left a truño infumable, but has resulted in so great a degree. For me, needless to say, a must have. I hope you decide
spend some time and enjoy it as much as me.
Greetings.

What Uses Purge Dip System
New Revised Edition of Mutant Future
Through guiri popular blog on gaming retroroleplaying GROGNARDIA we learn a great news: Goblinoid Games is about to edit a revised edition of the Mutant Future , which we have discussed here a few times . This revised edition will feature a new cover, plus new interior illustrations (And presumably a new layout) that the truth is that he needed. The best thing is that since the rooms have decided to invest in giving a facelift, the new Mutant Future will be released through normal distribution channels, so it will be much easier to acquire a copy. If there is some justice in the universe, the issue will be on hand, but have not said anything about it and the truth is that I do not get many illusions.
We are delighted, because as announced in time we have decided to use Mutant Future for our campaign, to be a very simple system, easily adaptable and well prepared for a style sandbox game. Although we did a small review about the game, I remember using the same system Labyrinth Lord, which in turn is a retroclón of D & D core. Or, to link to recent events, virtually the same system is to use the Adventures in the East Mark .
I leave for the front end of Mark Allen. The truth is that it has a very cool style, with flat colors and such. Definitely better than the first (though I miss the Spider-Goat).
Anyway, head to my Wish List;)
A greeting.

2nd Birthday Party Dora Theme
For a neutral Red
Citizens and businesses using the Internet attached to this text DECLARE :
Citizens and businesses using the Internet attached to this text DECLARE :
That Internet is a Neutral Red by design, from its inception to its current implementation, which information flows freely, without discrimination based on origin, destination, protocol, or content.
For businesses, entrepreneurs and Internet users have been able to create services and products in the Neutral Red without authorization or prior agreements, leading to an entry barrier virtually non-existent that has allowed the explosion of creativity, innovation and service that defines the current network status.
All users, entrepreneurs and Internet companies have been able to define and offer their services on an equal footing taking the concept of competition to an extent previously unknown.
That Internet is the vehicle of free speech, free information and social development more important to citizens and businesses that count. His nature must not be jeopardized in any way.
That to enable the Neutral Network operators must carry packets of data in a neutral manner without being a "customs" of traffic and no advantage or disadvantage to some content over others.
That the traffic management in specific and exceptional situations of network overload should be undertaken in a transparent manner according to standard criteria of public interest and non-discriminatory and non-commercial.
That such exceptional traffic restriction by operators can not become a sustainable alternatives to network investment.
That the Neutral Red is threatened by operators interested in reaching commercial agreements which favors or degrade the content according to their relationship with the operator.
That some market participants want to "re-define" Neutral Network to be handled in accordance with their interests, and that claim must be avoided, the definition of the fundamental rules of operation of the Internet should be based in the interest of those who use it, not those who provide them.
That the response to this threat to the network will not be inaction, doing nothing amounts to allowing private interests to conduct de facto practices affecting citizens' fundamental freedoms and the ability of firms to compete on equal terms.
That it is necessary and urgent urge the Government to protect a clear and unambiguous Neutral Network, in order to protect the value of Internet towards developing a more productive, modern, efficient and free from interference and interferences. This requires that any motion to approve inextricably linked Neutral Red defining the content of future legislation that promotes and does not condition its application to issues that have little to do with it.
Neutral Network is a clearly defined concept in academia, where it stirs debate: citizens and businesses have the right to traffic received or generated data is not manipulated, distorted , prevented, diverted or delayed prioritized according to the type of content, protocol or application used, the origin or destination of the communication or any other circumstances unrelated to their will. That traffic is treated as a communication private and only under court order may be monitored, traced, stored or analyzed in its content, such as private correspondence that it really is.
Europe and Spain in particular, are in the midst of an economic crisis so important to force radical change in its production model, and better use of the creativity of its citizens. Neutral Network is crucial to preserve an ecosystem that encourages competition and innovation for the creation of numerous products and services that are to invent and discover. The ability to network, so collaborative, and connected markets, affect all sectors and all companies in our country, making the Internet a key factor in our current and future economic and social development, largely determining the level of competitiveness. Hence our deep concern for the preservation of the Neutral Network. We therefore urge the English Government urgently to be proactive in the European context and to legislate in a clear and unambiguous in this regard.
If you agree with this manifesto, pass it around to the extent of your capabilities.

Install Closet Pole Ceiling
Review Adventures in the East Mark. It's here.
We had expected to suffer from the final summer when the days passed languidly increasingly slow as he approached the approximate date of departure. And after a constant monitoring on the blog of the East Mark, a morning of heart attack in Dracotienda and nervous glances toward the door every day after ordering, I can finally say with absolute satisfaction that I have in my possession A copy of RPG Adventures in the East Mark.
red box. or more: our red box, of all those who could not live that time in the tables circling the basic set of D & D. Thanks to the people of we Brand opportunity to experience this aspect of the hobby with a manual transmission knows, page after page, the nostalgia, charm and love of adventure of those old manuals. Starting with the brilliant cover of Manzanedo, the best work of this artistazo at Brand project, in my opinion. Not only for what he teaches, which is of undeniable beauty, but for what it evokes: the warrior tired, old, facing a terrifying dragon. A bout with the air of being the last, but that the decision facing fierce warrior, carrying the flag on the shield of his greatest passion. Emotion increases as a nod to read the words of Steinkel in his introduction of the game, which the dragon symbolizes the time, and his inexorable step.
So, with our cash on hand, that we are all tired warrior, willing to challenge role thirty years of stepping back to dungeons, to face the forces of darkness and share adventures with our best friends. For me, this is the greatest achievement of this manual, and do not think any retroclón has been, until now, convey a feeling and not throw, albeit slightly, an uncomfortable smell fraud.
not you talk more about the magnificent illustrations, or the perfect layout, or wording enjoyable, because the best is that you prove yourselves in the photos. Nothing else to thank the people of the brand by the contagious passion hobby, and have decided to carry out a hard effort, both personally and financially to bring to fruition this worthy project.

Does Semen Show Up With Blacklight
Campaign The Price of Liberty: Introduction. Part II.
"Croatoa was more than a weapon biological. More than a virus. It was the ultimate tool for the company by which the Mankind had fought with more passion and zeal than any other: his own annihilation.
During the war, biological weapons had been responsible for most casualties. With the dismantled nuclear weapons for decades, different powers designed pests found in a more appropriate alternative to their interests. Its effects were slow, horrific and indiscriminate, perfect to end his enemies and break their morale. The bloated bodies of the dead were piled up in hospitals, barracks and camps alike, while engineers from both sides worked continuously to synthesize antidotes and design new horrors that spread among his enemies.
Croatoa was the result of a technological race towards achieving the perfect weapon in trench warfare that had stagnated. Preliminary tests had a chilling success, and time was pressing. The fronts had been fragmented, and in each country a dozen wars taking place simultaneously. Colonization projects were almost completed, and the ships were priority. Many piers had been destroyed during the war, plunging their countries into the despair of a military defeat and existential. Those who still have the means to conquer the future for themselves smiling, but also lived with the fear of suffering a similar fate. In the chaos of total war, any day could be the last for those who could still look to the sky with ambition.
Over time, the war hit us us. Our geographic advantage that we had saved so many times in the past, did not help against super soldiers almost supernatural abilities, nor against the bacteria infecting laboratory enhanced the air we breathed and destroying our sources of food. In the end, the United States was so devastated as the rest of the world, and was bleeding hundreds of battles throughout the length and breadth of its territory. Little little more than fronts narrowed, strangling our leaders and people around the giant pier that had built near the capital. It was the largest, and so we knew, probably the single pier that remained intact in the West. But suffice to bring thousands to paradise, and all fought bravely to get a place in his crew. At the pier
had raised more powerful research centers in the country, and scientists there created the virus Croatoa, a body designed to damage every cell of its host, without resistance antigen, directly attacking to its genetic material. Endowed with the ability to spread through the air and with amazing potential for infection, could end up indiscriminately with the population of a small country within weeks. Synthesize a vaccine that is passed basic tests, and saved for an emergency. Not distributed among the population, they said, to ensure that would not fall into enemy hands.
The situation became critical when there was the biggest battle of our land had ever seen, at the gates of the city of Washington, where our armies and those of our enemies fought with a fury and fanaticism unparalleled in the shadow of the great vessels. We, desperate to protect our only hope, they, blinded by arrebatárnosla. The land was dyed red, the ground shook and endless refugee camps shook with fear. Meanwhile, in a luxurious room safe from the slaughter, a group of people with our fate in their hands made a decision. Did not cost them much. Pressed a button and released Croatoa.
At first, nothing happened. Then, thousands screamed in agony. Twisting through the streets, convulsing on the field, deformed by the hundreds of tumors that devoured them inside. Soldiers, civilians, men, women and children. All alike. Except them, of course. Those who were important, those with the power to push buttons and release the horror. Those with the power to command armies from the rear, to synthesize weapons from the safety of their laboratories. They would smile to safety, only inoculated with the vaccine existed.
However, they did not go as planned. The virus was unstable. The trials had not lasted long enough, and Croatoa mutated. Contact the extremely modified synthetic DNA guests began to produce unintended effects, and victims began to develop new and terrible mutations. Most died, turned into monsters reports, but some no. A few were transformed, changed into something inhuman, crazy monsters that began to destroy everything in its path. Creeping in the darkness to spread terror, with demonic looks like grotesque parodies of perfect people they were before.
But that's not what unnerved. Not to them, walking high above the sea of \u200b\u200bblood that had spilled. Not them, who had taken over all revolutions, which had been endorsed by all how much it had never existed, had written at the expense of all the pages of history. What unnerved, what really made him shudder of panic, was that no longer served its antidote nothing. They also have to suffer the ills that had been reserved for others. If there is some justice in the universe, if some kindly deity ensure us, they should have died like everyone else, writhing in the mud between the fire and ashes, or being devoured by the mutated monstrosities that they had created. And yet ...
First came the blinding light the battle fields.
The clamor of arms was drowned by a roar and then silence. The match ended in an instant.
all looked the wakes of ships amounting beyond the sky. Thousands of them worldwide. "

It was the largest, and so we knew, probably the single pier that remained intact in the West. But suffice to bring thousands to paradise, and all fought bravely to get a place in his crew. At the pier
had raised more powerful research centers in the country, and scientists there created the virus Croatoa, a body designed to damage every cell of its host, without resistance antigen, directly attacking to its genetic material. Endowed with the ability to spread through the air and with amazing potential for infection, could end up indiscriminately with the population of a small country within weeks. Synthesize a vaccine that is passed basic tests, and saved for an emergency. Not distributed among the population, they said, to ensure that would not fall into enemy hands.
The situation became critical when there was the biggest battle of our land had ever seen, at the gates of the city of Washington, where our armies and those of our enemies fought with a fury and fanaticism unparalleled in the shadow of the great vessels. We, desperate to protect our only hope, they, blinded by arrebatárnosla. The land was dyed red, the ground shook and endless refugee camps shook with fear. Meanwhile, in a luxurious room safe from the slaughter, a group of people with our fate in their hands made a decision. Did not cost them much. Pressed a button and released Croatoa.
At first, nothing happened. Then, thousands screamed in agony. Twisting through the streets, convulsing on the field, deformed by the hundreds of tumors that devoured them inside. Soldiers, civilians, men, women and children. All alike. Except them, of course. Those who were important, those with the power to push buttons and release the horror. Those with the power to command armies from the rear, to synthesize weapons from the safety of their laboratories. They would smile to safety, only inoculated with the vaccine existed.
However, they did not go as planned. The virus was unstable. The trials had not lasted long enough, and Croatoa mutated. Contact the extremely modified synthetic DNA guests began to produce unintended effects, and victims began to develop new and terrible mutations. Most died, turned into monsters reports, but some no. A few were transformed, changed into something inhuman, crazy monsters that began to destroy everything in its path. Creeping in the darkness to spread terror, with demonic looks like grotesque parodies of perfect people they were before.
But that's not what unnerved. Not to them, walking high above the sea of \u200b\u200bblood that had spilled. Not them, who had taken over all revolutions, which had been endorsed by all how much it had never existed, had written at the expense of all the pages of history. What unnerved, what really made him shudder of panic, was that no longer served its antidote nothing. They also have to suffer the ills that had been reserved for others. If there is some justice in the universe, if some kindly deity ensure us, they should have died like everyone else, writhing in the mud between the fire and ashes, or being devoured by the mutated monstrosities that they had created. And yet ...
First came the blinding light the battle fields.
The clamor of arms was drowned by a roar and then silence. The match ended in an instant.
all looked the wakes of ships amounting beyond the sky. Thousands of them worldwide. "

Hungry And Thirsty All The Time
Omerta, the Mafia Power
" The headlights swept the shed number two in the old harbor and the sedan stopped facing immense iron door. The engine went silent and the lights were extinguished. Inside the car was guessed four silhouettes and in the passenger seat, the dim red light a cigarette when they were giving a deep drag illuminated a sharp face, was only an instant.
- There is nobody - said Ruggiero, a Sicilian with a powerful mole crowned by a remarkable chin dimple.
- Wait - Gianfranco replied "the Long" chewing the words and throwing the butt out the window of the sedan. He consulted his wristwatch and satisfied with what he saw, he said aloud
- It's time.
That was the signal. Inside the car the sound of various weapons cocking held the following moments. Two guns and a Lupara Thompsons, the famous sawed-off shotgun, were overhauled, ready to spit fire and lead if they came wrongly made. Gianfranco "Largo", meanwhile, lost no detail of the surroundings of the place. He had learned to watch every corner, did not like getting into a site without knowing where the exits were.
In the spring there was an almost absolute quiet this time of night. In the distance, a merchant working from Panama, you could see the yellow lights under which a group of dock workers unloading boxes relentlessly fished with a crane and taken to other sheds. Sporadic screams could be heard from the foreman and the soft murmur of the water by licking away the pier.
The moon reflected a silvery path on the sea surface. It was a quiet night, and despite not having any light in the vicinity of Ford where men waited Moretti bonnet, the moon generate enough clarity to see an acceptable manner.
A truck appeared on the opposite side of the sea, beyond the shed number two.
- Attentive! - Gianfranco "Largo" put on notice "piciottos" who accompanied him in the car.
The truck turned off the lights and continued its journey in the dark to a stop in front of the grand entrance of the shed, looking directly at the black sedan.
Both vehicles were facing each other, some forty feet, more or less.
- What now, "L"? - Asked Ruggiero hands on the wheel, watching the truck.
- Do not call me "L" ... - Gianfranco whispered.
Gianfranco was a little guy, but what he lacked in height he had plenty in bad character, cunning and villainy. He was a feared gunman in the family who always brought his work and did not hesitate to pull the trigger so long as necessary to eliminate whoever faces him.
- That's the sign! - The truck had a blast with his lights - Well, Ruggiero, stay in the car, "Taco", Gianluca, with me.
Gianfranco the "L" opened the door sedan and fell, so did "Taco" and Gianluca for the rear. His long trench coat could cover the distance from the carrying firearms, but as they approach a bit to the truck they would be easily detectable.
course, these weapons were for use with the truck or its occupants, were for ... well, just in case. The orders were clear: get the truck and drive to the meeting point. Tommy had to pay for the work and check the goods, in principle there should be no problems, but you never know ... the cops could come at any time, even men of Panepinto, or maybe those damn Irish ...
- Well, here we go, stay tuned! - Gianfranco hissed his orders and led the way toward the truck, flanked by his two companions, keeping his eyes fixed on the truck, which dropped a couple of guys ...
omerta is a role playing game in which we immerse ourselves fully in the criminal underworld and the history of the Italian Mafia (but also have references, characters and situations from other gangs or mafias like the Irish, Jewish, etc ....) in the United States during decades of the 20 and 30.
While mainly focus at this time of play and in the cities of Chicago or New York, "Omerta, the power of the Mafia" is extended in time and geography also seeking the presence of the Mafia places like Sicily, birthplace of the Cosa Nostra.
also find references in this manual enough to be able to play on almost any decade since the 20 and 30, as stated above, to 40, 50, 60, etc. ... As well as in some other places like the mythical city of Las Vegas, or in Havana, Cuba. You decide!
Since the massive arrival of Italian immigrants, its passage by the legendary Ellis Island and its distribution in ghettos, to the creation of bands that ended up in criminal organizations, through the struggles of the Black Hand against the White Hand Ireland, the introduction of the Volstead Act, better known as dry or Prohibition Act, Castellamarese war or wars of alcohol, which was smuggling gold made men like Al Capone, Dutch Schultz (Dutch) and many others. Of course, you can also find on the other side of the coin, the famous Untouchables and the Treasury Department, FBI, etc. ...
But if, on the contrary, you are someone who wants it all done, you will also have the option to play in a fictional town set in the same period and created for you to enjoy as if you were in the very Chicago , but with differences that make it more surprising and amusing at the same time. We refer to the city of Creekville. We assure you that no waste.
So get ready to settle the score in the middle of New York, evade police while driving at full speed a truck loaded with smuggled from Canada and try to survive attacks from other rival gangs to give them their own medicine. All while serving on the Family, to be a Man of Honor, one of us!
are now entering the honor society of the Cosa Nostra, which welcomes only men of courage and loyalty. You come alive and dead salts. The gun and the knife will be your tools daily. Cosa Nostra is ahead of other priorities in life. Before the family, before the country, before God. When you are called you must go though your mothers, your wives and your children are in their deathbed.
There are two laws you must obey without hesitation, never betray the secrets of Cosa Nostra and never violate or you will play the wife or children of another member. The failure of either of these laws means death without trial or warning.
Raise your finger - now you prick drawing from a drop of blood - That drop symbolizes your birth into our family. Since we are now one death. Now you are grown men, "Amico Nostro, a Soldatos of the famiglia." And thou shalt keep secret as you may know. is the law of silence is the law of omerta ... "

We did it: Radio re-broadcast Telperion
The butterfly flapped its wings, and one after another protest emails came to Rapture Radio Policy, support groups sprouted Telperion Facebook, blogs echoed one by one from the news ... Until finally, in 48 hours, the station was forced to change their lamentable and shameful decision to cancel the issuance of Telperion.
The butterfly flapped its wings, and one after another protest emails came to Rapture Radio Policy, support groups sprouted Telperion Facebook, blogs echoed one by one from the news ... Until finally, in 48 hours, the station was forced to change their lamentable and shameful decision to cancel the issuance of Telperion.
have done well because Telperion listeners were not going to stop a tantrum geeks, as no doubt he believed the Rapture Radio Policy, judging by the condescension of their responses by mail. The letter to conduct a protest to the sponsors of the station was already written, and many talked of the possibility of taking legal action against the board, for violating the privacy of the guys openly airing Telperion postal and private data.
say, in his brief statement , the two sides "agreed to his guilt" and was unable to reach agreement. Although, of course, that at no time was stated that "their share" of guilt, and yet another who took the time to ramble on about various post scarecrows in response, accusing Telperion to cause its own cancellation . I know it's the most you'll be able to get, but I like to put your finger on it: only one of the two parties began and ended the journey with integrity, and is not something to be ignored.
several lessons have been taken with this incident. A, the most important matter is to be involved. Something as trivial as email and ten minutes can make a station to retract, if it can be an example (not saying that it gave me, I was one of many). Another is that we must stay together as fans and community, if we change something.
In the future might want to consider an unpleasant situation that we repair: an editorial that teases us, a newspaper groundless slanders our fans and those who practice it (as you said Avatar , with example of the "crime of role"), a stale debate on television ... And when that happens, we must remember Telperion.
When I announced that the program was canceled, said that rolero we were a little more isolated than before. Today, when I echo his return, I can say unequivocally that rolero we are more united than ever.
A greeting.

Rerouting A Washing Machine
Campaign The Price of Liberty: Introduction. Part I. Radio
"We live in an age of miracles. The sublimation of a society powered by technology that did not stop to improve itself. Our bodies were designed immaculate temples nucleotide by nucleotide, built by scientists artisans manipulating our genetics as the dominant sculptor stone. The disease, at least in the developed world, was an decadent evil, disappearing like a dream cloudy in memory. Our lives were long, longer than ever. On the outside, we looked alike to gods. Inside, our demons were silent, dormant for a full life, served on a silver platter.
discovered a new home. A new planet, which returned to fill our minds with the excitement of the unknown, the dream of conquest. He gave us a transcendental goal, when we had almost everything. And excitement as our leaders spoke and commended us to investigate, to work for a means to that new planet humanity in unison to put it. Former warring powers for centuries shook hands. The richest tended to help the less fortunate. In the media, in homes, on the street. He was everywhere. Would travel far, far away, and would build a future beyond our planet. Consummate the greatest dream of mankind. Would justify the pursuit of the greatest epic our very existence.
they were getting. We worked together and created what seemed impossible. Find a way to travel vast distances across the universe. And then there was a solemn covenant. The settlement would be a global project. Not have powers over others that might stick a flag on the new ground before the others. The most important page of history would be written together. Thus, we began building a giant port, at a site chosen in common, as well as the massive ships as big as cities, which would lead to anyone who would like more than the space to their new home. It was our masterpiece, and as the dream became more real, growing worldwide excitement. Rebosábamos optimism.
deceived us. We believe that the dream was shared by all, but it was just a mask, a vaudeville. Our leaders had different dreams: dreams of glory, dreams of power, human dreams. They discovered that some powers were taking their own separate plans for conquest. They built their ships, hiding its technology to others, or secretly stole it from them. The unified project was a sham. Threw us a bone while weaving the ruin of all.
We manipulated. Over time, the owners of the world learned of their mutual betrayal and saw their interests in danger. The interests of all, they said. When finished with their campaigns of hatred, lies and accusations, people roared with anger toward their neighbors, screaming horror that long ago our leaders were already preparing. Just needed to lose sight of what matters, that our minds would become a little smaller. Right minds for war.
When they finally broke, the consequences were ... unimaginable. The science that could lead us beyond the sky fell into the worst hell. GM soldiers spread terror throughout the world, with bodies designed to kill and create pain to the effectiveness of angry deities. There where two armies met, land was burned, destroyed cities and the skies black with ash. The minds that had eradicated the disease created other, more terrible, to be used as weapons. Invisible genocide ended with millions, soldiers and civilians alike. And without a clear winner, the war continued. Little by little, month after month, year after year, going a step further, pushing the limits of barbarism, forcing the doomsday clock.
Until the end, came Croatoa ... "
