 <title>Wiley-Blackwell’s Latest Edition “Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy”</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/wiley_blackwell_s_latest_edition_battlestar_galactica_and_philosophy</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;Wiley-Blackwell’s Latest Edition “Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In its Fourth and Final season, Book Poses New Questions From Show &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New York, NY – (January 20 , 2008) In advance of the 4th – and as announced – final season of this exciting, thought provoking television series&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term52&quot; title=&quot;campaign: A campaign is an ongoing storyline revolving about a continuous group of characters. It is generally made up of a series of adventures within a specific setting.

Since the word &amp;#039;campaign&amp;#039; implies a series of military conquests, games wishing to distance themselves from such martial pursuits have alternate names for their campaigns. For example, Ars Magica campaigns are known as sagas and Vampire: The Masquerade campaigns are known as chronicles. Several games, attempting to invoke the serial dramas of television, have used the term series. &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Wiley-Blackwell&#039;s latest installment of its Philosophy and Pop Culture Series, Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy, goes, to quote an earlier Sci-Fi series, &quot;where no man has gone before.”&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Stop marking Roleplayers Home Dead!</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/stop_marking_roleplayers_home_dead</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;I&#039;m now officially peeved. Roleplayer&#039;s Home apparently disappeared for a couple of days. It has been restored - at least the forums have - yet some folks continue to mark it dead. I get as many as ten of these per day. When I visit the URL we have on file, I see an active and vibrant forum community. I don&#039;t really care what used to be there - I care what&#039;s there now. It&#039;s an active site and will not be removed from the index.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>tcr2005 Ring Destroyed</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/tcr2005_ring_destroyed</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;I returned from vacation to find that the RPG Ring designated tcr2005 has been completely corrupted and unrecoverable. If this is your ring, contact me and I&#039;ll see what I can do to help you re-create the data. Not sure what happened as I&#039;ve been away -- this is a weird one.&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/call_for_milleniums_end_and_legend_of_the_five_rings_sites</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;These two categories are about to be removed and the sites folded back into their genres unless we get more submissions under them. If you run or know of an ME or LoFR site that we don&#039;t have on the Gateway, please submit it or encourage the webmaster to submit it. There can&#039;t be only two sites for each out there ... can there?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>ICE releases HARP Sci Fi Beta</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/ice_releases_harp_sci_fi_beta</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;ICE, the makers of Rolemaster and HARP (High Adventure&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term51&quot; title=&quot;adventure: (n) An adventure in a roleplaying game is a single, discrete story. Several adventures in sequence form a campaign. Game companies often publish pre-made adventure supplements. These are often called modules.

An adventure typically begins with a prologue which may include the meeting of the characters or PCs, the introduction of the plot, action by the characters, resolution of the plot and epilogue.&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Role Playing) is pre-releasing its HARP Sci-Fi rules as a beta release. The final version will be available later in 2007. Those wanting to get it early can get the discounted beta version now, and will receive the full final version for free when it releases.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Wizards of the Coast kicks Sarbreenar out of the Forgotten Realms</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/wizards_of_the_coast_kicks_sarbreenar_out_of_the_forgotten_realms</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;The Sarbreenar campaign&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term52&quot; title=&quot;campaign: A campaign is an ongoing storyline revolving about a continuous group of characters. It is generally made up of a series of adventures within a specific setting.

Since the word &amp;#039;campaign&amp;#039; implies a series of military conquests, games wishing to distance themselves from such martial pursuits have alternate names for their campaigns. For example, Ars Magica campaigns are known as sagas and Vampire: The Masquerade campaigns are known as chronicles. Several games, attempting to invoke the serial dramas of television, have used the term series. &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#039;s volunteer committee has received communication from Chris Tulach (Head of Organised Play in the RPGA) about the future of Sarbreenar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wizards of the Coast believe Sarbreenar to be in breach of copyright because it is based in the Forgotten Realms and uses non-Open Gaming license products (i.e anything other then the PHB / DMG / MM). The RPGA has the licensing rights to use Wizards products in a convention style &#039;living&#039; campaign and therefore they have the legal rights to public games using those books.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>RPG Rings - ringmaster needed</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/rpg_rings_ringmaster_needed</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;We have a semi-dead ring in need of a ringmaster. The Crystal Realm was (or is, not sure) a site dedicated to freeform roleplaying aka cooperative fiction. The webring was supposed to be for their members&#039; sites.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>RPG Rings - CLEANING and will stay that way...</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/rpg_rings_cleaning_and_will_stay_that_way</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;The RPG Nexxus has a web ring service. If you didn&#039;t already know about it, find it at &lt;a href=&quot;http://rpggateway.com/rpgring/&quot;&gt;http://rpggateway.com/rpgring/&lt;/a&gt; ... works pretty much like the fancy-pants web ring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I have installed and tweaked a program that checks those web rings for number of active sites and valid code.&lt;/p&gt;
