Sawyer? Germany's game developers have taken their work ethic from the manual labourers who built the Autobahn and dug the great coal pits of the Ruhrgebiet: they labour in the service of a greater good, striving tirelessly towards perfection. Even the greatest American games draw upon German talent: who could imagine a Planescape: Torment without Guido Henkel, or a Pillars of Eternity without J.E. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the quality of German RPGs: from the classic Realms of Arkania trilogy through the transgressive Albion and the ground breaking Ambermoon to the blockbuster Gothic and Risen franchises, the thread of German game design winds through the very DNA of role play gaming. The German people take pride in excellence.

That was certainly the case with Deadlands: the Weird West, which I bought on Amazon last month for $92 (an 8-buck savings off the Kickstarter price).īack cover of Deadlands: the Weird West. Game publishers view Kickstarter as a true launch vehicle, and many allow you to sign on after the campaign has officially ended - and most successful products eventually end up in game stores. Things are different in our new Enlightened Age. Those were dark and lean times, let me tell you. Now in the olden days (I’m talking circa 2017 here), if you missed out on a Kickstarter, the only thing you could do was tear your hair and gnash your teeth, and haunt the aftermarket, hoping to find a reasonably-priced copy on eBay. Mariotte, and Boneyard by Seanan Mcguire (Tor Books, 2015-17 covers by Aaron Riley) The Deadlands novels published alongside the 20th Anniversary Edition: Ghostwalkers by Jonathan Maberry, Deadlands‘ small but loyal fanbase enthusiastically rallied to support the new Kickstarter campaign, and it blew through its $10,000 goal, with 4,973 backers pledging a whopping $568,636. Emboldened by that success, last year they tried something much more ambitious: Deadlands: the Weird West, a massive box set containing a complete system relaunch using the Savage Worlds core rules. In 2017 Pinnacle stuck a toe in the waters with a reprint of the 1999 edition, Deadlands 20th Anniversary Edition, funded by a crowdfunding campaign. Talk wasn’t enough to keep it alive though, and for long stretches of the last 25 years the game has sadly been unavailable. ![]() Created by Shane Lacy Hensley and published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group in 1996, the horror/steampunk game was a huge artistic and creative success, easily one of the most talked-about RPGs of the 90s. ![]() Kickstarter has brought those systems a whole new lease on life - and an explosion of new content.ĭeadlandsis fine example. I’ve been playing RPGs since 1979, and in all those years I’ve seen countless new and innovative game systems fail because they couldn’t grow beyond a small but dedicated fan base. It’s the de facto launch platform for the hobby gaming industry these days, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon. Kickstarter completely transformed board gaming a decade ago, and over the last few years it has thoroughly reinvigorated role playing as well.

The two worlds collide when the cherry blossoms bloom. Yet the older customs and generations still have a large influence. This loud, boisterous environment is a magnet for the younger generations. Pillsbury describes the scene as a restaurant mixed with a rock concert and a nightclub. Places like Robot Bar, are standard in the city. What drew Pillsbury to Tokyo was the dichotomy of a culture that was caught in a dance between past and present: Holding onto traditions, ancient temples, festivals and ceremonies while embracing technology and modernism. The project Tokyo, which was recently featured in the Benrubi gallery in New York, took a different look at technology as the landscape in which people move around. Many of his previous works have focused on the use of technology in modern life and our interaction with humanity as a result. With the clear implications of mortality in his imagery, Pillsbury stresses the importance of asking questions with his art as opposed to offering a solution or supplying answers. On crowded city streets, a long exposure will only capture those who stand still for a moment. Reflection is exactly what Pillsbury has been achieving with his work for over the past decade. This art form he says, allows him to capture a “given period of time in a single image, and in doing so it allows us a reflection that’s just a different experience.” Pillsbury, born to American parents in France, has had a deep-seated love for cultural exchange and expressing that through the medium of photography. “When using longer exposures I’m also capturing something that is only visible in a photograph, but yet we know it to be fundamentally true.” ![]() It is therefore better to use it for in-game purposes, as its special attack isn't terrible in that regard and the fire-type Overheat actually hits quite hard the special attack penalty from that move doesn't even matter if you just click on Return or Wild Charge during the next turn. Sure, Wild Charge is a decent 90-power move, but it deals recoil damage and isn't as strong as similar moves like Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, Head Smash and Wood Hammer, while the only competitively viable move seems to be Pursuit in case you predict a hard switch on the opponent's part. if only Zebstrika had something to choose from. Base 100 attack and 116 speed stats are nothing to sneeze at, and they could have been good in combination with a Choice Band or Choice Scarf. Its flavor indicates that it's a physical attacker, and that's absolutely true, but the problem is that it lacks the physical attacks to be competitively viable. Unfortunately, these characteristics aren't conveyed in Zebstrika's stats and movepool. Zebstrika is ready to charge at something. Zebstrika's irritable nature falls in line with how difficult - nigh impossible, even - zebra are to tame and how awfully dangerous they are to ride due to their extreme unpredictability and aggression they have the tendency to bite, kick, flail and buck much more than other equids do. It is as fast as lightning and releases deafening, reverberating thunderclaps when at full gallop. But while Blitzle probably has no trouble containing itself, Zebstrika is an ill-tempered Pokémon that can be dangerous when angry, shooting lightning from its mane in all directions. The frequency and rhythm of these bright flashes are in turn used to communicate with each other. Blitzle's mane serves as a lightning rod, because this Pokémon can actually catch lightning with it and store the electricity afterwards, only to discharge said electricity via its glowing mane again. ![]() While the stripes on Blitzle's body are few and far between compared to a real-life zebra, it is undeniably based on one, with a spiky white mane running up its neck that culminates on its forehead in a long extension shaped like a lightning bolt. Of course, we start off with the cute but feisty Blitzle, actually available to players pretty early on in Black and White. And that's where the relevancy of this introduction kicks in: Blitzle and its evolution Zebstrika are the first and currently only zebra Pokémon in the franchise (there are three species of zebra in the world, but they all look pretty much the same, so I don't expect new Pokémon based on this animal to pop up anytime soon), and Game Freak have done a phenomenal job creating them, at least design-wise. In any case, the ermine - a common name for the stoat when it's in its pure white winter coat - is my second favorite animal, while the zebra closes out the top three. It's a hit-or-miss kind of situation and I have to say it frustrates me to no end. Persian, Luxray and Liepard are perfect examples of feline Pokémon done well, while Delcatty and Purugly completely miss the mark and Meowstic hasn't yet won a spot in my heart, either. Oftentimes, feline Pokémon don't quite capture the feel of real-world cats. Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, IVs of 31, and a helpful nature, if applicable.Those of you who have been reading my blog long enough know that I love any animal belonging to the felidae family: tigers, lions, leopards, cougars, servals, lynxes, domestic cats.Minimum stats are calculated with 0 EVs, IVs of 0, and a hindering nature, if applicable.This Pokémon cannot be caught in the wild. When Zebstrika run at full speed, the sound of thunder reverberates. Zebstrika can move as quickly as lightning, releasing thunderclaps at full gallop. This irritable Pokémon fires lightning bolts from its mane when angry. A white, spiked mane runs the length of its body, beginning with two horn-like extensions on its forehead and running down its back to end in a long tail with a starburst-shaped tip. Its nose is black, and its hooves are gray. Its ears are triangular with blue insides, while its eyes are blue with yellow sclerae and white eyelashes. There is one pointed stripe extending from its nose, two elaborate stripes on its neck and chest, one zigzag stripe each on its jaws, back, and hindquarters, one triangular stripe on each of its thighs, and two stripes banding each of its legs. Its coat is black with white, jagged stripes all over its body. ![]() Most recently, Mestre Boneco produced and hosted an eight part documentary series on Capoeira around the world and has returned to Brazil to focus on projects in his native Rio de Janeiro.

After receiving his black belt, Mestre Boneco, along with Mestres Paulinho Sabia and Paulão, founded Capoeira Brasil, an organization that would later become one of the largest Capoeira groups in the world. Mestre Boneco’s black belt is also recognized by the Brazilian Capoeira Federation. In 1989, after years of dedicated training, he was recognized for his outstanding achievement in the Capoeira community and awarded his black belt by a council of Brazil’s most distinguished masters. The popular character also played a major role in the 2008 Clone Wars animated series, where we got to see more of the Jedi Master in his prime, dispensing helpful advice and proving he’s useful with a lightsaber when it counts.Mestre Boneco began training Capoeira at the age of eleven with Grupo Senzala in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Whichever trilogy you watch, right up to the modern movies, the wisdom and legacy of Master Yoda is never far away. In the original trilogy, Yoda was a swamp-dwelling, mischievous teacher, but when the prequel trilogy started in 1999, we saw a different side to the 900 year old Master: a younger, more sober Jedi who wasn’t afraid of an epic lightsaber battle. The tiny green Buddha was first introduced in 1980’s Empire Strikes Back, and since then he’s been the voice of wisdom and a symbol of the proud Jedi traditions, dating back to the final days of the Republic. The rich mythology of the Star Wars universe has not provided us with a character more wise and powerful as Master Yoda. Recently however it has become renowned for re-issuing old models from its substantial back catalogue, winning over a new generation of fans. Movements aside, those watches also looked rather gorgeous, with their stepped steel cases and mushroom pushers.Īfter making it through the quartz crisis and getting bought by the Swatch Group, Longines lost a little of its cachet in the industry, and for a decade or so it was just another run-of-the-mill Swiss manufacturer that relied on movements sourced from ETA. ![]() Mention legendary high-precision calibres like the 13 ZN and the later 30 CH to chronograph connoisseurs and watch them go misty-eyed and weak at the knees. And they had to be, as Longines’ watches were often relied on to time major sporting events, from the Olympics to motor-racing to numerous equine competitions. From the 1930s to the 1950s, they released a number of luxury watches run on movements that are now rightly regarded as some of the most reliable ever made. Even then, they were mounted on either a Valjoux or Lemania movement.Way before the arrival of such icons as the Rolex Daytona, the TAG Heuer Monaco and the Omega Speedmaster, Longines lorded it over the chronograph universe. While it may sound simple on paper, consider that virtually no other manufacturer attempted to produce a flyback mechanism in a chronograph until 20 years later with the advent of the Type XX chronographs produced for the French military (an exception was in Glashütte where UROFA developed flyback chronographs in the late 1930s). At the same time, the flyback process must also disengage the chronograph clutch, pushing it away from the chronograph wheel while the reset button is pressed, then re-engaging it once it is released (circled in blue). The most obvious mechanical difference would be the lack of a tooth (circled in red) on the head of the reset hammer, which hence allows it an unobstructed movement to reset the chronograph even when it is running. For instance, the two pictures below are from the same watch, and the serial numbers do match.Ī flyback function, on the other hand, allows for the reset mechanism to take place while the chronograph is running. Also, since most of these watches came with hinged backs, be aware that the hinge may have been previously broken, and then fixed by a jeweler.Īnother key thing to pay attention to is making sure the serial number stamped on the movement match with the number stamped on the case. One thing to note: be very wary of enamel dials, which may crack easily during shipment (you might be in for an unexpected shock if the watch arrives with hairline cracks in the dial due to improper packaging). There is also less of a difference in prices between steel, gold (and silver) cases as compared to the 13ZNs. ![]() ![]() You would probably be able to find a mint condition 13.33Z under $10,000, with most residing in the 6-8k range. While prices of 13ZNs have been steadily increasing, the 13.33Zs, in our opinion, are still somewhat underpriced and feature less prominently in the minds of collectors despite their stunning movements and dials. |
