Conclusion Dungeons & Dragons – a Means of Education Many people think that the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons is an evil game of devil worshipping, the cause of teenage suicide, or a distraction from education. I have found, through personal experience and research, that none of the above are true. In fact the game is designed around the premise of role-playing heroes. Do to the large amount of reading, comprehension of rules, mathematical calculations, development of strategy, and use of imagination, creativity and teamwork, the game is also a means of education. Dungeons & Dragons, created by Gary Gygax, was the first role playing game, and is what started the roleplaying industry. The game was introduced as a means...

...Dungeons & Dragons (abbreviated as D&D[2] or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). The game has been published by Wizards of the Coast since 1997. It was derived from miniature wargames with a variation of the Chainmail game serving as the initial rule system.[3] D&D's publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern role-playing games and the role-playing game industry.[4] D&D departs from traditional wargaming and assigns each player a specific character to play instead of a military formation. These characters embark upon imaginary adventures within a fantasy setting. A Dungeon Master serves as the game's referee and storyteller, while also maintaining the setting in which the adventures occur and playing the role of the inhabitants. The characters form a party that interacts with the setting's inhabitants (and each other). Together they solve dilemmas, engage in battles and gather treasure and knowledge.[4] In the process the characters earn experience points to become increasingly powerful over a series of sessions. The early success of Dungeons & Dragons led to a proliferation of similar game systems. Despite this competition, D&D remains the market leader in the role-playing game industry.[5] In 1977, the game was split into two branches: the relatively rules-light game system of Dungeons & Dragons...

...How to create a Pen and Paper RPG Creating a successful pen and paper roleplaying world requires both an understanding of mathematics and literature. In order for a developer to create their own roleplaying game, they first need an idea of what they are wanting to do. Typically, it's a good idea to define the concept in the title of the world that is being created. Some examples include Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness, and Shadowrun. Each of these names catches the eye of the reader, and defines what it is that the setting is in the most general way. Once a concept has been made, the developer needs to define how complicated or simplistic they want the game to be. There are three main types of roleplaying game dice systems that are in circulation with popular pen and paper RPGs today: there is the D10 system, the D20 system, and the D100 system. The D10 system uses a number of ten sided dice equal to the trait pool, defined as the player characters raw capability, to determine whether or not a certain action succeeded or not. If the dice roll above a targeted number of the ten sided dice, then the number of 'successes' define how well the action taken performed. The D20 system actually involves a use of all dice, for various different traits in various different circumstances. Meanwhile, the D100 system is a percentiles game, where you have a certain percentage chance to perform something and when you roll, you need to roll under the percentile required to succeed...

...Seven of the hurdles that need to be examined, in a management sense, are: 1. Cost overruns How much will they actually be and who will pay for them? Past experience says there will be cost overruns; moreover, many of those extra costs are often hidden from the public by being shifted to other budgets. Infrastructure costs are but one example of this. It is important that a tight rein on costs be initiated from the outset and that oversight be put in place. Scrutiny of estimates and the awarding of contracts by outsiders are essential. Another aspect of the issues in this area is determining how to ensure transparency. 2. The future use of sporting venues Using these venues once the games end can pose many problems; for example, some are so large that they will have to be reduced in size if they are to be profitable. Others are specific to sports that may attract little attention. There is a history of Olympic ‘white elephants’ that stand empty for years. Can someone find a way to move these elephants toward social benefit or commercial profit? 3. Transformation of Olympic housing to public housing Questions abound. What planning needs to be done to ensure that the housing constructed for the athletes actually will be used as mixed or affordable housing after the events? Will the housing for the athletes who participate in the Paralympics be set aside as housing for the elderly and disabled? What will be done with the massive cafeterias set up to feed those involved in the...

The decision on what is important is key to prioritization. The...

...Analyse how the impacts of the Notting Hill Carnival could be measured. What methods could have been used to measure the impacts of similar events and what are the issues surrounding those methods? In 2003, a London Development Agency (LDA 2003) report into the Notting Hill Carnival found that ‘it brought in an estimated income of £93 million into London in 2002, supporting in the region of 3000 full time equivalent jobs. The study and review of other aspects of the carnival lead to increased attention from the Mayor of London and other stakeholders (1) which lead to the Notting Hill Carnival ‘Strategic Review’ in 2004. The report states that ‘the true value of the Notting Hill Carnival, in social, economic and cultural terms, has received little recognition in the past’. (2) But how can the Notting Hill Carnival be more accurately measured? Economic: The review highlights a number of economic impacts of the Carnival, with various statistics available. However, these stats focus heavily on the immediate economic impact, and do consider the costs for the negative impact of the event; policing, traffic, pollution. As highlighted by Getz 2012, the economic impacts should include a ‘comprehensive evaluation of the costs and benefits of the event’. (3) Environmental: Environment impacts have been measured in the past through the amount of waste generated. (4) Future environmental impact studies could include the measurement and tracking of the reduction of the carbon...

...Birth of LIBOR LONDON (Reuters) - Minos Zombanakis, born 86 years ago on a Greek island, remembers the birth of the interest rate benchmark now at the heart of a global rigging scandal well. "I was, more or less, if you excuse the lack of modesty, the one who started the whole thing," he laughs, speaking by telephone from his village among citrus orchards in Crete. Zombanakis was running the newly-opened London branch of Manufacturer's Hanover, now part of JPMorgan, when the bank organised one of the first syndicated loans pegged to what he dubbed a London interbank offered rate (Libor) in 1969. The $80 million loan, for the Shah of Iran, embodied the way cross-border financial markets that had been effectively closed since 1929 were being prised open - sowing the seeds for London to flourish as a global financial centre. The ambitious bankers of that era had little idea that the rate they were using to price these loans would become a central cog in the global financial system and a benchmark for $550 trillion in contracts ranging from interest rate derivatives to home loans and credit cards. Four decades on, that rate has been discredited by the brazen attempts of traders to game it, by the banks that have lied about their true costs of borrowing and by the regulators accused of either condoning or failing to stop manipulation. Libor, designed to reflect a bank's borrowing costs accurately, burst into the headlines in June when Barclays (BARC.L) was fined a record $450...

...HIST 1400 Jeffery Egan Keran Sun The era of religion conflict and witch craze can be called an era of black in Europe. In this era, the citizen of Europe suffered an era of witchcraft and the conflict between the Catholics and Protestants. As the result of the Black Death, the population of Europe as dramatically dropped, this directly influenced the population of labor force, which directly caused the result of economic depression. And this gave people great pressure. People blame all these torment on the witches, who was called the troop of devil. People consider most of the witches were women, and most of the women should be single or widows for no reason. This leads the tragedy of many innocent women to be killed or tortured to death. Because there was a great conflict between the two religion communications, the violence was widespread in the mid 16th century in the Europe area. The conflict between the two caused a large area of destructive damages in many parts of France. Catholic was the main fraction of religion before French war of religion. After the death of King Henry II, French Monarchy started to lose their power and strength, economy dropped dramatically, and the social structure started to lose stability at the time too. Also, some influential families valued this period of turmoil to gain more power and more impact power to the society. However, either side of the religion group wanted to compromise, the conflicts between the two still caused a horrible...
