And in the night after the first day of the month, I didn't write enough words, but I through my first two plans overboard and plotted a NaNovel which gives me both structure (as the first 15 chapters are based on "actual events that happened") and freedom (as there are 3-4 years of wandering around of which nothing is known, so I'm free to invent anything). It will be a small suprise to those who know me that it is based on the more or less recent ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) myraworld history of about 25-10 years ago.

| Calculating MYRA |
[Jun. 15th, 2010|06:32 pm] |
There have been previous efforts to calculate MYRA, our world of fantasy - from the idea that one hex largely resembles 100 km from one side to the other, or 100 miles from one corner to the other, to the information given that the world Myra has three times the surface of the earth, ending at calculations of how thick Myra's mantle must be if with three times the surface and a hollow-world core Myra has more or less the same gravity pull on the outside as earth has.
Well, not ending there, because the effects of two moons and that white (or rather dark-red) elephant in the skies, that second 'sun', have been calculated as well, as far as was possible.
Well here now I present the mathematical formula to calculate MYRA - wothy of Robert Shea's Syllogisms in the Mathematics of Magic:

| Roleplayers for Obama? Saving Throw for McCain? - And MyraWorld for Iras? |
[Aug. 22nd, 2008|03:18 am] |
This posting in German: Rollenspieler für Obama? Schutzwurf für McCain
 While many dungeon_masters might be aware of it, fantasy_scifi gamers and readers might have missed the newest development:
Fantasy roleplaying gamers, a classic enemy stereotype of evangelical US-preachers, have been discovered as a voting demographic in the new presidential election. How so? I'll tell you. With the cliché imagery of the 80s for depicting the 'liberal enemy'.
Pro-democratic Blog DailyKos had cast doubt on one of John McCains overly moralistic memories which he had recounted in the evangelical Saddleback Church these days, as stolen from “The Gulag Archipelago” by the late Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn . The McCain campaign reacted fiercely, hitting on liberal bloggers in general and -to everyone's astonishment- on dndfanz as fantasy gamers specifically. (Cultural reference: Dungeons & Dragons is to fantasy gaming what kleenex is to paper handkerchiefs. It is what the kids play at the start of E.T. and it's been around as long as the greenparty in Germany. The McCain campaign attac logic seems to be: Bloggers = Nerds = D&D-Gamers? Quote from McCain's website:
It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons &Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman’s memory of war from thecomfort of mom’s basement, but most Americans have the humility andgratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered onbehalf of others. (Source)
The blogging world was not enthusiastic about this, even less so if you took those actively or formerly from the "Dungeons&Dragons Crowd", of which some claimed they were "undecided before these attacs". John Kovalic (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) muskrat_john of DorkTower fame (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif?v=92.1) dorktowerfeed), LJ blogger and game designer ("Munchkin" is quite a good parody of the RPG hobby) correctly wrote: “What an…odd (yes, odd - “odd” is definitely the word) thing to bring into the national political discourse…”
It was the second time in a few weeks, that Goldfarb had, for the McCain campaign... ( Read more... )

| Myra School of Magic - MSM Esoteria: The academic tradition and the Rings of Power |
[Jun. 12th, 2008|03:24 pm] |
There have always been rings of power in Esoteria – with a whole fortress and school full of magicians and wizards, many of whom trying to leave a trace of permanency for posterity, how could there not be? Some of them were real Rings of Power, forged by the dwarves, giants and even volcano-dwellers of old, enchanted by the greatest of masters and charged with power by their apprentices.
The MSM Esoteria also always had had a traditon of academic exchange. When finishing your magic education you would, as a sign of respect, present a paper of your own research to your master, a different one for each master you wished to honour this way. If you did master his teaching well, he’d give you a copy of a part of his own writing. For some, though, who work in the hard work of enchanting objects, loading, yes charging them with some of your own life's energy in the process, it works the same with magic rings. Crafting a ring, they would, if it was a masterpiece, not wear it but present it to one of their masters, while those were expected -but not obliged- to wear them and offer one they wear in return, which sometimes was crafted by a previous student of this master, sometimes handed down to this master by hios own master when he still was a student. Sometimes a venerable master would be honoured by other masters, who would, one after the other, come and present a ring of their own in respect. A gesture like this, which probably could not be answered in kind, would create a great heirloom, an inheritance to be distributed after his death among those of his blood who posess the training necessary to use them.
This tradition, of course, explains why some writings and some Rings of Power can appear in places where they are not expected - and why the way of rings and writings can hardly, if ever, be traced over the centuries. |
