A propos, surtout, de mes jeux de société – Mostly about my card and boardgames Les pirates de notre imaginaire sont cruels, ivrognes, souvent vêtus de noir, portent de longs sabres recourbés, arborent fièrement un drapeau à tête de mort… bref, de sinistres personnages. Pourtant, les enfants, et même ces grands enfants que sont les joueurs, les aiment bien. On peut trouver plein d’explications à cela. Bandeau sur l’œil, capitaines unijambistes, singes et perroquets, tout cela illustre le fait que le monde de la piraterie n’est pas perçu comme un univers historique mais comme un monde imaginaire et exotique, plus proche du médiéval fantastique ou de la science fiction que du XVIIème siècle. Que l’île de la Tortue soit bien réelle, que Francis Drake l’ait été, cela n’est que très marginal dans un passé qui échappe suffisamment aux historiens pour que l’imagination s’y donne libre cours.

On Classic Imagery: A Paladin in Hell A little discussion of iconic imagery and it's history in Dungeons and Dragons. When I was a youth, my father took me to the mall to pick up his own personal copy of the 1st edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook by Gary Gygax. He was in a gaming group and was buying one for himself. I don't remember him purchasing it from Waldenbooks, but afterwords we walked a little way and sat down in the pizzeria and sat down to look at it. I'm sure I asked a lot of questions that day, but I have one clear memory that stands out among all others. More Hackmaster, Creature, and Donald Duck! I have a few drawings to share with you today. The other day Dennis and I went back for another Hackmaster Basic session with d7. It was very eventful!

List of legendary creatures This is a list of legendary creatures from various historical mythologies. Entries include species of legendary creature and unique creatures, but not individuals of a particular species. A[edit] B[edit] The Encyclopedia of Arda The Encyclopedia of Arda is a personal project - a tribute to and a celebration of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The site is evolving into an illustrated hypertext encyclopedia of Tolkien's realms and peoples. It already contains about four thousand entries, and we're constantly adding new entries and expanding existing ones. Baked Wonton Tacos When I was a little kid, around every New Year’s, my mom and grandma would sit down and make Mandu {Korean version of potstickers or wontons} all day to make Teokguk {Korean version of wonton soup} and I’d just sit with them trying to help out. I remember trying to help out making my own Mandu, though not really successfully. Then my mom and grandma made their own mandu skins from scratch… And now… how grateful I am that I can get premade mandu skins so easily… although I think I should try and make my own skins sometime… It’s definitely on my to-do list.
