Adventure: Tales of the Aeon Society
Warren Ellis , Tim Avers , and Deirdre Brooks Manufacturer: White Wolf Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1565046080 |
Book Description
ADVENTURE! The Dawn of a New AgeIn 1922, a new era begins. An era of excitement and imagination. An era when men are forthright and women are courageous. An era of globe-hopping exploration and mad science. An era in which excitement awaits in the lofty skyscraper-penthouses of New York City and the squalid slums of Hong Kong, in the frigid wastes of Antartica and the sweltering jungles of the Congo. It is the era of ADVENTURE!
Heed the Call to Adventure! Adventure is a game of pulp action in which you are an inspired hero battling dastardly villains and bizarre monsters! It has rich source material on early 20th-century society around the world and complete rules for playing a daredevil in this exciting age, including special powers and details on building amazing inventions.
Writers inlude: WARREN ELLIS, Tim Avers, Deirdre Brooks, Rick Jones, James Kiley, JAson Langlois, Michael B. Lee, Clayton Oliver

Two-Fisted Heroes Unite!.......2004-05-27
Of the three games in the series, Adventure is possibly the best one. The setting is very rich and dynamic. Any setting is possible with the Z-Wave gimmick. Fans of pulp stories and movies will have a great time recreating their heroes and using them to battle villains with weird weapons. Though recommended for the pulp era, World War 2 and film noir campaigns are also possible with the listed powers and setting. It is possible to have the heroes battle dinosaurs, zombies, cavemen, aliens, killer plants, and giant robots with this game.
This is the only book in the series that does not have supplements. And honestly it doesn't need any. There is a wealth of recommended resources in the book that can be accessed on the Web.
Fans of Trinity and Aberrant will find this book interesting because it details the early history of the Æon Trinity, the predecessors of the Psions and the Novas. You will also learn about one of the big villains in the two games and how he was before his transformation.
I highly recommend this book for gamers who would like a break from the standard World of Darkness. The level of optimism is high in the game and big heroic acts are encouraged and rewarded. Fans of Trinity and Aberrant will have no trouble picking up the game and running with it. The rules are basically the same except for a few changes here and there. Optimistic World of Darkness fans, especially fans of the Sons of Ether, will love this book. Wild gadgets are all over the place along with people trying to save the world while looking good. Okay, even Technocrats will enjoy this book.
Wonderfull game, worth every penny!.......2001-09-18
This is the game of those times, those dreams, and the very desire for Adventure! Within its pages you will find everything you need to know in order to play your favorite pulp hero or heroin. Make up your own "men of action" or build from literature. It's your choice, your "Adventure!"
This is one of White Wolf's best games to date and captures the feel of the pulps accurately and entertainingly. This is the final book in the Aeon Trinity Games by White Wolf (Trinity, Aberrant, and now Adventure!).
I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who has role played before or to those who have never pretended to be someone they were not.
Now is the time for Adventure!

3 Bowls : Vegetarian Recipes from an American Zen Buddhist Monastery
Seppo Ed Farrey , and Nancy O'Hara Manufacturer: Houghton Mifflin ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 039597707X |
Amazon.com
Both a cookbook and an introduction to the practice of American Zen Buddhism, Three Bowls is a distinctive collection of vegetarian recipes from Seppo Ed Farrey, the tenzo (chef) of the Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a traditional Zen Buddhist monastery in New York State. Each day, Farrey must create precisely timed meals for a hundred people using a limited range of ingredients; despite these demands, his dishes are substantial, never dull, and often inspired. "Three bowls" refers to the monastic way of eating from a large, a medium, and a small bowl. The largest bowl is customarily filled with a grain-based dish such as Spicy Rice Bake with Black-Eyed Peas, Collard Greens, and Sweet Potato. The medium bowl typically holds a protein-rich, flavorful stew, such as Almond Thai Curry, an aromatic blend of potatoes, tofu, carrots, and spices. Salads or vegetable side dishes are served in the smallest bowl, and these dishes can be especially enticing, with such examples as greens with tangy Red Grape Dressing or green beans stir-fried with the zest and juice of an orange. Since food provides the only sensory relief to the relentless routine of the day, the occasional dessert is usually extraordinary, such as the Samsara Cheesecake, a rich and dense blend of cream cheese and ricotta sweetened with honey and maple syrup. Descriptions of life at the monastery and lucid explanations of Zen practice are interspersed throughout Three Bowls. Moving and centering, they offer as much nourishment and inspiration as the food in this lovingly created book.Book Description
3 BOWLS presents the outstanding vegetarian specialties that draw thousands of visitors each year to Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a traditional Zen monastery in New York's Catskill Mountains. From Sesame Crepes with Portobello Mushrooms in Port Cream Sauce and Spaghetti with Chipotle and Garlic to Coconut-Pecan Carrot Cake with Orange Cream-Cheese Frosting, these recipes are deftly creative, yet all are simple to prepare.Customer Reviews:
