Exotic cultures, strange lands, and proud monarchies confronted the Portuguese and Spaniards who came to South-East Asia in the sixteenth century with the practical objectives of securing control of the profitable trade in export of spices to Europe, and - to a lesser extent - of combating Islam, their traditional foe in the Mediterranean. The pursuit of commercial and strategic advantages brought the Dutch, English, and French on their heels. Later still, the nineteenth century saw the arrival of explorers seeking to discover the sources of the great rivers of the region, naturalists who ranged far afield to collect specimens, and literary travellers, professional photographers, married women, and other visitors who recorded their experiences. This anthology offers selections from the abundant range of European writing, expressing the fascination, the excitement, and sometimes the violence or danger of personal adventures and encounters in South-East Asia. It is the work of a talented minority who found delight in a strange world of their time, a world which is rapidly changing and vanishing. These writers have left a vivid record for the entertainment of the modern reader.

"Playing a role-playing game is a delicate dance. If everything runs smoothly, it feels like you and your friends are able to maneuver effortlessly through dramatic, epic, and uproariously silly scenes where everyone gets a chance to shine. And yet, other times it just doesn't come together. Combat slows to a repetitive grind, the Game Master runs out of good Non-Player Character (NPC) ideas, or after twenty-six rounds maybe even the most beautifully designed encounter just gets a bit stale. Sure, you could prep an absolute powerhouse of an all-killer-no filler role-playing session. Spend time getting fun character voices ready for every NPC. But that sounds like way too much work. This is the book you turn to for help. It's a big book of ideas designed to slot right into your existing campaign, organized into neat little tables. If you salivate at chaos magic effect tables and daydream about wild, unexpected die results, you already know it can also be fun to throw caution to the wind and let randomness determine as much as possible. Even the most organized GMs and the tightest adventure modules benefit from a little spice!"--

In the course of a long life, the author has been a student of what psychical researchers call 'spontaneous cases', that is, incidents in the real world that cannot be explained by the accepted canons of what is possible. The author of several books on this subject, Mr MacKenzie now deals with those cases where the protagonist finds him or herself in surroundings which no longer exist. Some of these cases he investigated personally, others are retailed at second-hand, but in each case he brings to bear a proper caution and a critical standpoint - and yet the mystery remains.

For many tabletop RPG players, the joy of an in-depth game is that anything can happen. Typical adventure modules include a map of the adventure’s primary location, but every other location?whether it's a woodland clearing, a random apothecary or the depths of a temple players elect to explore?has to be improvised on the fly by the Game Master. As every GM knows, no matter how many story hooks, maps or NPCs you painstakingly create during session prep, your best-laid plans are often foiled by your players' whims, extreme skill check successes (or critical fails) or their playful refusal to stay on task. In a game packed with infinite possibilities, what are GMs supposed to do when their players choose those for which they're not prepared? The Game Master’s Book of Random Encounters provides an unbeatable solution. This massive tome is divided into location categories, each of which can stand alone as a small stop as part of a larger campaign. As an example, the “Taverns, Inns, Shops & Guild Halls” section includes maps for 19 unique spaces, as well as multiple encounter tables designed to help GMs fill in the sights, sounds, smells and proprietors of a given location, allowing for each location in the book to be augmented and populated on the fly while still ensuring memorable moments for all your players. Each map is presented at scale on grid, enabling GMs to determine exactly where all of the characters are in relation to one another and anyone (or anything) else in the space, critical information should any combat or other movement-based action occur. Perhaps more useful than its nearly 100 maps, the book's one-shot generator features all the story hooks necessary for GMs to use these maps as part of an interconnected and contained adventure. Featuring eight unique campaign drivers that lead players through several of the book's provided maps, the random tables associated with each stage in the adventure allow for nearly three million different outcomes, making The Game Master's Book of Random Encounters an incredible investment for any would-be GM. The book also includes a Random NPC Generator to help you create intriguing characters your players will love (or love to hate), as well as a Party Makeup Maker for establishing connections among your PCs so you can weave together a disparate group of adventurers with just a few dice rolls. Locations include taverns, temples, inns, animal/creature lairs, gatehouses, courts, ships, laboratories and more, with adventure hooks that run the gamut from frantic rooftop chases to deep cellar dungeon-crawls, with a total of 97 maps, more than 150 tables and millions of possible adventures. No matter where your players end up, they'll have someone or something to persuade or deceive, impress or destroy. As always, the choice is theirs. But no matter what they choose, with The Game Master's Book of Random Encounters, you'll be ready.

Along the Way continues and expands on themes in Greene's previous books, Terry's Run (2019) and Ramblin' (2021). Early chapters describe episodes where high winds and waves posed problems in handling sail and power boats. Other parts of the book present portraits of memorable people the author encountered. One section consists of excerpts from a remarkable trove of letters written by Army friends during and soon after WW II. These letters, nearly eighty years old and preserved by accident in an unintentional time capsule, tell in words as fresh as the days they were written what these young men observed and thought about in their small parts of an enormous war. Reflections on the serious topic of confronting potentially fatal dangers are in another part of the book along with accounts and discussion of lighter topics. Three short stories exhumed from the time capsule and rewritten make up the last part of the book.
