Das blitzende Schwert in der Hand eines Ritters, der Langbogen, der stets treffsicher das Herz eines Feindes durchbohrt, die uralte Axt, die von Generation zu Generation weitervererbt wird: Wenig bestimmt das Bild eines Helden mehr als die Waffe, die er führt. Auch für die Abenteurer auf Lorakis sind ihre Waffen und Rüstungen von großer Bedeutung. Sie entscheiden über Leben und Tod, ob man eine Gefahr überwindet oder an ihr scheitert. Aber das ist nicht das Einzige, was wichtig ist: In der Einöde der Frostlande kann eine warme Decke den Unterschied zwischen Leben und Sterben bedeuten, eine einfache Fackel aus dem Labyrinth des Tiefdunkel herausführen, die Pinzette in der Hand des Chirurgen kann die giftigen Stacheln einer Brutwespe entfernen. Splittermond erzählt von kühnen und tapferen Abenteurern, aber sie alle brauchen ihr Handwerkszeug. Diese Erweiterung für Splittermond: Die Regeln rückt die Ausrüstung eines Abenteurers in den Mittelpunkt. Mondstahlklingen enthält zahlreiche bekan...

But while waiting in the pediatrician's office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts to wonder...Is a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine?

In Rituals of Resistance Jason R. Young explores the religious and ritual practices that linked West-Central Africa with the Lowcountry region of Georgia and South Carolina during the era of slavery. The choice of these two sites mirrors the historical trajectory of the transatlantic slave trade which, for centuries, transplanted Kongolese captives to the Lowcountry through the ports of Charleston and Savannah. Analyzing the historical exigencies of slavery and the slave trade that sent not only men and women but also cultural meanings, signs, symbols, and patterns across the Atlantic, Young argues that religion operated as a central form of resistance against slavery and the ideological underpinnings that supported it. Through a series of comparative chapters on Christianity, ritual medicine, burial practices, and transmigration, Young details the manner in which Kongolese people, along with their contemporaries and their progeny who were enslaved in the Americas, utilized religious p...
