This is even though millions of people are being brutalized, murdered, raped, or displaced in a conflict where there are no good sides, and where democracy is not on the line. In this episode, Tufts University scholar Alex de Waal, one of the world's foremost experts on Sudan and the Horn of Africa, explains why peace and justice are distant possibilities in Sudan's third civil war since its 1956 independence.

This week on ‘The Write Question,' the second half of a conversation with memoirist Melissa Febos, author of ‘The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex,' out now from Knopf, an imprint of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, which is a division of Penguin Random House.
In this extraordinary conversation, I speak with the legendary Barbara Hand Clow, author, astrologer, and ceremonial teacher, about the profound shifts taking place on our planet and within human consciousness. We explore the nine dimensions of reality, how to navigate the emotional intensity of the fourth dimension, and why the heart is the portal to higher realms.Barbara shares insights from her seminal works, including The Pleiadian Agenda and The Alchemy of Nine Dimensions, and we go deep into ancient underground structures, the significance of the second dimension opening, and the cosmic role of the Pleiadians over the last 100,000 years.We also touch on:Kundalini rising and midlife awakening as planetary phenomenaThe connection between solar flares, tectonic activity, and consciousnessHow to access your galactic lineage and activate your cosmic DNAWhat the Mayan calendar was really pointing to and why 2025 marks a pivotal shift in divine timingBarbara offers a powerful reminder: “Each one of us has as much influence in the holographic field as the most powerful person on the planet.” This episode is an invitation to step into your sovereignty, open your heart, and participate in the awakening of planetary compassion.If this conversation speaks to you, we'd love to hear from you — tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening on Instagram and Facebook to share your reflections.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast with your brother and Bible reading coach, Hunter. Today's episode takes us on a journey through the pages of scripture, starting in First Samuel 18, followed by First Chronicles 6, Psalm 11, and finishing in Matthew's Gospel chapter 3. Hunter reflects on the powerful declarations of God's love for humanity through Jesus, reminding us that we are loved and belong to God. He guides us in a moment of prayer, inviting us to seek mindfulness and divine presence in our lives. We conclude with gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. Join us as we continue our journey, setting intentions to live a mindful and prayerful life. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: This is my dearly loved son who brings me great joy. These are the first words we hear the father speak over the son. And through Christ, they are words that have been spoken over all people all over the Earth. God has declared his love for all humanity. He's declared his love for you. So here in this declaration, the heart of the father for all people everywhere, broken, lost, sinner people like you and me, Jesus comes to do all that is needed so that every man, woman, and child can be embraced into the triune love of father, son, and holy spirit. So all humanity can experience the love that is shared in the godhead. So we can be one as they are one. Hear the declaration of what is. Hear the proclamation that you are loved by god. This is not a proposition. God's love and your position as daughter, as son, is not a great opportunity for you if you believe enough or you get your act together enough. It is a declaration of what is. You are loved. You are his. And that is great news. Let's hear this declaration well today and move out into the world, learning, discovering how to live out who we have become. May God give us wisdom, and may God give us joy as we live out this gospel in him. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

I speak extensively on the mystical and energetic implications of land ownership in my class “Selling and Buying Real Estate”. In this article I want to concentrate on how the connection, or lack of, to the land the person is living on affects their ability or power to independently create their reality.As I am limited to the word count of an article, this exploration will focus on the implications to people who are displaced from their place of power.To begin with, I want to point out that the birthplace of the person is not necessarily the most resonant or powerful location for them to live at. Although sometimes it is. I also want to point out that a culture or religious affiliation to a particular strip of land does not always directly reflect on the power of the individuals within that land whether positively or negatively. There is no hard and fast rule about this at an individual level.Last week I spoke about Lineages. One of those lineages, the Machi who are the wisdom keepers of the Mapuche tribes, are fully aware of the link between the power of the Machi and the land they live on. Their base and home. The belief is that if you move the Machi out of their land, they won't survive six months and will die.Throughout my life, I rarely stayed in one place longer than a couple of years. Until I was in my late 30s, the longest I had lived in a place was the house where I had been born, where I lived until I was seven and had constantly asked my parents “when are we moving?” In my late 30s and early 40s, I managed to stay in the same house for about 9 years. Since then, I have gone back to the pattern of moving constantly. Larry and I have lived in our latest home for two and a half years now and that's the longest we have stayed in one place during the eleven years we have been together.This is particularly interesting because in my 20s I learned that the longer I stayed in one location, and this was true for my sister also and other mystics, the more able and capable we were to affect the reality of that location. The more powerful we became.The connection to power and influence increases not just the longer we live in a place, but also if we actually own the place we live at. One might say that I have been consciously limiting my power. But that is a different discussion which we will cover in our subscribers only Wisdom Seekers podcast at DrivingToTheRez.comMost wars happen to conquer land or land resources. When a group of people are conquered, often the first thing that happens is a push to displace them. Either by removing them from the land and relocating them somewhere else, or simply killing them off. Individual mystic power accrued from owning the land becomes severed by the conquering new claimant. They claim the power as owners of it all. This is another topic worth exploring more in depth with the wisdom seekers since an expanded understanding of victim, aggressor, agreement and triggers precede a mature conversation on this hot topic. It's apparent in our current world these conquering of and claiming of lands, along with the displacement and/or killing of millions is currently front and center around the planet.The link between the land and its people is powerful. One might question why a people who have been on a piece of land for thousands of years are able to be conquered. And that is because of the agreement of the power over others' paradigm experience. The truncation of power is necessary to become a victim, and in this case, in a light dark reality, more powerful landholders can overwhelm less powerful landholders. Simply might makes right. It's not frequent that a small land holding individual or group overwhelms a much larger one, although it's not unheard of, think of the Spartans! Agreements trump everything in our reality.Incidentally, when the conquering people don't displace the conquered by killing or moving them out, their hold of that land won't last long. In this case we are talking about land management and social engineering plans that are hundreds of years in scope. Sometimes, thousands of years in the making.I hope this article has given you food for thought. If you would like to continue the conversion, you know what to do.The discussion doesn't stop here—listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

This year of 2025 I promised to speak more about “lineages”. The lineages that I can speak about are my own three lineages which are Alchemist, Magic and Shamanic, but I will also talk about other lineages we can tap into.Of course, I have spoken about this extensively with the Wisdom Keepers and Seekers at WalkWithMeNow.com on many monthly and weekly meetups.In this article I will do a summary of what “lineages” mean. I will follow up with articles on the three lineages I carry, personally, during 2025.If you want to join the conversation, but are financially strapped and can't join Walk With Me Now yet, for $8 a month you can join the podcast afterparty every Friday at 9am Pacific by subscribing to the Wisdom Keeper Hour at DrivingToTheRez.com.With all that info out of the way, let's explore this first topic.What do I mean by Lineages?A lineage, to me, is a bundle of wisdom and practical applications of that wisdom that a person inherits or creates to be inherited in the future.These lineages can be passed genetically and I call these Ancestral Lineages. Others can be passed from master to student, these I call School Lineages, and some can be passed in one sitting, telepathically and energetically, through the agreement of both the lineage and the recipient. Let's call these Field of Wisdom Lineages.There very well could be many more types of lineages, but the above are the ones I have personal experience with. For example, I am pretty sure there are lineages a person can carry at a soul level from lifetime to lifetime. I've seen evidence of those lineages in children who can do extraordinary things as toddlers. For example, paint like an adult, or play music like a maestro.The lineages themselves contain thousands of years of wisdom keeping and the application of those wisdoms. They are not static, they evolve with each generation of wisdom keepers. In this way, all these lineages are also wisdom seeker lineages.I have found that individuals can carry a genetic lineage, for example, or receive a field of energy lineage, and they don't tap into it, or use it. This lineage either becomes dormant inside of them, atrophy, or dissipates.This is because lineages are both sentient and alive. If the person doesn't feed or use them, they cease to exist.I will give you a summary of how I received my three lineages.* The alchemist lineage.This lineage is a hereditary one, from my father's family. It was passed to me directly from my grandfather, bypassing my father and his sister. This is a combination of genetic and field of wisdom lineage. It cannot be passed to people outside of the family gene pool. This lineage has the capacity to “speak” to me directly. It would have been better if my grandfather had lived long enough to train me, but without his training I found that my exploration of the lineage is free of dogma and I am able to study the data and wisdoms in a more expansive and direct way. It is a very powerful and active lineage and insistent on my daily practices, applications and study.Some of the areas that this lineage covers are art, music, power objects and artifacts, and what we might also call magic.* Magical lineage.This is also a hereditary lineage, but it is passed down from teacher to student in a schooling sense. The child, or adult apprentice, needs to have the capacity to receive it, but they are not restricted to family or genes. It is also very linked to training at a physical level, and is not passed down at an energetic or telepathic level. I received this one from my mother's side of the family. She, herself, passed down a lot of skills and information to me, and one of her sisters did also. Think gypsies.* Shamanic lineage.I am calling this one a shamanic lineage for lack of a better word. The one I carry is the lineage of the Machi. It is indigenous to the Americas, Mapuche tribes, and passed directly from adult to child, or apprentice, in a big bundle of data.The data is formed of not just the information that all previous Machi's carried, but also their personalities and life stories. In an ideal situation, once the child or apprentice receives the lineage, they will study under the Machi who passed it to them for many decades. I received two Machi lineages, but was not lucky enough to study under them. Decoding and exploring the data in the lineage is very telepathic in nature, but harder than if I had been instructed by one of the Machi who passed me their lineage. Due to the lack of instruction a huge percentage of the lineage data is not available to me. I could make it available with tons of hours of study and dedicated decoding.I am looking forward to hearing what our Wisdom Keeper panelists will be sharing about their own lineages.

We gave this lecture some time ago, in July of last year on Swami Lakshmanjoo's birthday. However it occurred to me that it would be a very good start to 2025 if we could not only review the fundamentals of spiritual life in general but also revisit the foundations, historical, philosophical and spiritual the underlie our Tantrik tradition. Note: around 14:00 I mention a lecture I did called "Texts and Lineages in Kashmir Shaivism". I never actually got around to uploading that one but if you stay tuned for the video called "Our Tantrik Lineage", I go over the same material with albeit more detail. Anyway, in this talk, we make a few points about Tantra and texts like the Vijñāna-Bhairava Tantra and then plunge into what I consider, on perhaps a more anecdotal note, to the be the essential flavor of Shaivism and how it developed throughout history.

Send us a textWhat can a football rivalry teach us about the profound story of the Nativity? We kick off with a light-hearted tale of Eagles and Steelers fans before transitioning to the awe-inspiring journey of the Magi, who defied King Herod to honor the birth of Jesus. Come along as we explore the timeless significance of this divine event, painting a vivid backdrop for the Magi's wisdom and determination, and revealing the deeper meaning of Jesus' birth that transcends history.Our exploration doesn't stop there. We examine the broken lineage of Jesus to find redemption and hope in those deemed imperfect, like Rahab, Ruth, and David. Their stories remind us that God's plan is inclusive, weaving even the flawed into His grand tapestry. By reflecting on these narratives, we emphasize the Nativity's connection to the Easter story, illustrating how both together shine a light on God's enduring promise of salvation and purpose. Join us for a heartfelt reflection that underscores the hope and light the Nativity brings to our lives, urging us to see ourselves as valued participants in God's divine mission.
Oil is everywhere. It's in our cars, it's in the fertilizer used to grow our food, and it's in the plastics used to produce and transport our consumer goods, to name just a few prominent uses.

And how have changes in oil markets affected broader trends in the global economy? In Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market (Verso, 2024), my guest Adam Hanieh tackles all of these questions by tracing the history and diverse geographies of oil.

How did oil come to occupy its central position in the world economy? How did corporate power shape the uptake, pricing, and distribution of oil and petrochemicals? And how have changes in oil markets affected broader trends in the global economy? In Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market (Verso, 2024), my guest Adam Hanieh tackles all of these questions by tracing the history and diverse geographies of oil. His narratives weaves together links between oil, geopolitics, high finance, the evolution of corporate organization, and the environment. Adam Hanieh is Professor of Political Economy and Global Development at the University of Exeter in the UK. He is currently a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He is previous books are Lineages of Revolt (2013) and Money, Markets, and Monarchies: The Gulf Cooperation Council and the political economy of the contemporary Middle East (2020).

This is the first of our two-part finale to our Season of Pleasure, a season throughout which we have sought to understand our relationship with pleasure while simultaneously witnessing and confronting genocide across our world. With poet and activist June Jordan's words, “What shall we do, we who did not die?” in our minds and spirits, we hear from Zeina and Fatma, two mothers living in London who organize with Parents for Palestine, a group of parents who organize marches, actions, and teach-ins that include young children calling for the end of the genocide and occupation in Palestine. How do we talk about genocide with our youngest children? How do our personal rest and pleasure principles sustain collective liberation and education as the practice of freedom?

We call this episode, lovingly, the auntie auntie auntie episode (or the niece niece nibling episode) shouted at the top of our lungs. We scream their names in the key of care, of reclaiming our bodies, lives, and pleasure(s) for ourselves (and our time). In this episode we talk with Anna Almore and Erica or ET, two friends and educators, about their moments of what Anna calls deviant caretaking, the act of choosing pleasure, accountability to one's deepest self over what work as teachers, teacher-educators, and students demands of one's self. Anna and Erica share about lessons learned one night at a strip club and releasing themselves from the disciplining of settler colonialism's projects of school, capitalism, misogynoir, and respectability—led by a long inheritance of aunties who showed them how to do thee things. And as nieces and aunties themselves, they reflect on what they now teach another generation, finding that the lessons and blessings their nieces and relatives give them to be the most urgent ones of all.

The dedicated yogi and founder of the Schoolof.yoga Joan Hyman discusses the foundation of her interest in yoga and her lifelong spiritual journey with Out of the Cloud's host Anne V Mühlethaler. First Joan shares her background growing up in Philadelphia and her journey into yoga, which she first encountered while pursuing a dance career. She discusses the importance of finding her voice as a teacher and the role of lineages and traditions in yoga. Joan also explains the yoga concept of Tapas and reaching the edge in one's practice. Joan has built a following worldwide, as she's been travelling to offer teacher training since 2010, and she reflects on the challenges and rewards of teaching internationally. She tells Anne about the creation of her Schoolof.yoga and her vision for its future, as well as her hopes for the future of yoga as a whole, including the importance of having great teachers continuing to teach and keep the lineage alive. Joan also talks about her new 300h teacher training program, and how she came to collaborate with world-renowned teachers, including Lisa Walford, Annie Carpenter, and many others.Together they have developed a comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of yoga, including pranayama and how the practice changes along with the practitioner's age. Joan also highlights the importance of incorporating healing modalities into yoga, such as trauma-informed practices. She explains how trauma affects the nervous system and emphasises the role of the parasympathetic nervous system in healing. To end, Joan shares her favourite yoga sutra, Pradipaksha Bhavanam, which encourages replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Wanting to end on the importance of slowing down and enjoying life, she also tells Anne about the impact of India on her spiritual journey and how travel has opened up her mind ‘like an umbrella'.A warm and inspiring interview with a master teacher.

How To Play New Edo, a tabletop roleplaying game. Transcript: Hello! I'm the GM for an upcoming episode of Firebreathing Kittens. I'll be running using the gameplay mechanics from a game called NewEdo, a Neon Samurai role-playing game. This is a rules discussion episode meant to help teach my players and any listeners the basic mechanics of NewEdo so it's easier to begin playing. I'll be going over two main topics. The first topic is character creation, where I'll discuss Paths, Lineages, and the Priority Buy System, that's B-U-Y buy, with its five associated Priority Abilities. I'll explain starting equipment and cash at the end of this topic. The second topic is gameplay mechanics. Since NewEdo is a 300 page rulebook, I won't have time to go over every single mechanic, but I will go over mechanics that pertain to some of the characters playing in my upcoming episode, as well as common mechanics used in most TRPGs. I'll also discuss Legend and Fate, two important mechanics that are exclusive to NewEdo. With that said, I'll begin discussing character creation, starting with Paths and Lineages. Paths A Path is similar to a class, but instead of defining your character's archetype going forward, it sets up your character's purpose with some starting features and equipment, allowing you to build yourself however you want. You can decide which Path best suits you and what it provides starting on page 72. Lineages A Lineage is what would be considered a race in other TRPGs. With the exception of Hisanaka, you have unrestricted access to all Lineages, each with two Cultures to choose from, providing unique gameplay differences. Hisanaka is a special Lineage only available with a Priority A Ranking in Augmentations, and has no special Culture. Lineages are found starting on page 132. The Priority Buy System After deciding your Path and Lineage, you need to decide what order you prioritize your Priority Abilities. You have five Priority Abilities to consider: ● Backgrounds ● Magic ● Augmentations ● Skills ● and Core Traits You must assign Ranks A through E (highest to lowest) between these five Priority Abilities in order to determine your character building resources. Refer to the Priority Buy Resource Allocation Table on page 58 to know what you get at each Rank. Backgrounds Backgrounds are associated with your character's backstory and grant certain benefits. There are five Backgrounds you can invest points into: ● Contacts ● Followers ● Soul ● Status ● and Wealth You can study up on what each Background provides at each Rank starting on page 144. Refer to the Background Score to Rank table on the same page to know how many points are needed to increase your Rank. All Backgrounds begin with 1 point each, and no Background may be higher than 61 at character creation. Magic Depending on your Path, Lineage, and Priority Rank, you can gain access to Magic. If you're looking for a Path with access to multiple spells, called Rotes in this system, choose Shugonshi. If you just need a single Rote, such as an attack or heal, look through TIer Zero through Three for an appropriate Rote, then choose D through A for a Magic Priority Rank that gives you access to the Rote you chose. Keep in mind the Casting Skill associated with each Rote, as you need to roll that Skill plus Shinpi Rank to cast. When you gain access to Magic through methods mentioned earlier, you should receive a bonus amount of Shinpi. Shinpi is a special Core Trait that, unlike other Core Traits, begins at zero instead of ten. You'll need to raise your Shinpi Rank through bonuses mentioned previously and Trait points received from Priority Buy in order to cast Magic effectively. If you happen to choose the Shugonshi Path, Awakened Kitsune Lineage, or Priority A Magic, you gain access to a Mikata Kami. You can choose any Kami you have access to and gain the associated Mikata Kami bonus. A Mikata Kami is also a pet with its own character sheet. For more details, read pg. 268 through 274. Augmentations Each Augmentation, or Aug, has a Noise Rating and Biofeedback Percentage. The points from the Priority Buy System are spent on the combined Noise Ratings of each Aug you get. If you increase an Aug's Rank, you multiply the Noise cost by the Aug's Rank. You need to have enough Core Trait points to install any Augs. If the combined Noise of a single Trait from all Augs exceeds the associated Trait, you can't install anymore with that Trait. For any leftover points, you can spend four points for a permanent 1d4 bonus to any Skill. This doesn't count as a Skill Rank; rather it's an external bonus to those Skill rolls. Any other leftover points may be added to the Wealth Background one for one. Biofeedback Percentage is added to the Fate Card for each Aug you gain. Keep in mind the percentage does not multiply with each Aug Rank. So if you install a Rank 5 Aug with 1% Biofeedback, it's still 1%. Skills The list of Skills starts on pg. 191. You have a certain amount of dice to spend on Skills called Focus. You're limited to three Focus per Skill at character creation. Each Focus you put into a Skill increases that Skill's Rank, which may grant a bonus. Bonuses can be found under each Skill's description. Traits There are seven Core Traits to choose from: ● Heart ● Power ● Reflex ● Presence ● Perception ● Savvy ● and Shinpi Each of them, except Shinpi, begin with ten points. Shinpi begins with zero. For every ten points in a Trait, you gain a d10 to all associated checks. You can only invest up to 15 points in any Trait, though bonuses from things like Lineage and Backgrounds don't count towards this limit. At the end of character creation, your highest Trait becomes your starting Legend Score. There are also four Derived Traits that are affected by the previously mentioned Core Traits: ● Resolve ● Move ● Initiative ● and Defence Starting Equipment and Cash You gain basic starting equipment from your Path. The Path descriptions each include a note on starting equipment, and all of them grant at least one weapon. That weapon, and any other items, will be described only by its Quality rating. You can look up item qualities on the tables in Chapter 13 starting on pg. 233. In addition, you start with cash equal to a Wealth roll, 1d10 per Rank in the Background, times 100. That wraps up Character Creation. I'll now begin going over various combat mechanics that my players and I will be using in our upcoming session. Again, this won't be a list of every mechanic in the 300 page rulebook, but I'll be going over some universal actions and their mechanics in NewEdo. I'll end with an explanation of this system's unique Legend and Fate mechanics. Movement One of the first things everyone needs to understand in any TRPG is movement. In NewEdo, your Move determines how many metres you can shift per turn. Move is equal to your Reflex and Heart Trait divided by your Size rounded up. Moving takes up a Move Action, which is one of three types of actions a character can make on their turn. The three types of actions are: ● Move Action ● Quick Action ● and Full Action You can make one of each of these actions per turn. As I mentioned earlier, moving uses up a Move Action, however there may be other actions that specify using a Move Action other than just moving, such as Taking Aim or driving a vehicle. Attacking Another common mechanic in any TRPG is attacking. An attack is usually a Full Action, but can also be a Quick Action in some cases. Two common types of attacks are Melee and Projectile. I'll explain the mechanics of each. ● Melee Attacks are made by rolling Power plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Defence. ● Projectile Attacks are made by rolling Perception plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Size multiplied by your weapon's Range Modifier. ○ You may call Raises before attacking to increase damage. Each Raise adds five to your Target Number, but increases the weapon's damage by 1d10. After hitting with an attack, you need to roll for damage. Here's what you need to roll: ● For Melee, roll Power plus the weapon's damage dice. ● For Projectile, roll the weapon's damage dice. Remember to add any d10's from Raises. Taking Aim, Advantages, and Disadvantages When setting up for a Projectile Attack, you can use your Move Action to Take Aim in order to gain an Advantage. An Advantage is simply an extra d10 added to a roll, one that can explode like a Trait dice. A Disadvantage is the opposite, removing a d10 from a roll. If there are no d10's remaining, you remove the highest dice instead. Advantages and Disadvantages come up in many different scenarios, and can cancel each other out if both are present. Taking Aim is one of the most common ways to gain an advantage in combat. Rolling Skill Checks To determine what dice you roll during an attack or skill check, you need to check the appropriate Trait and Skill. For your Trait, the tens place of your Trait determines how many d10 you can roll for the check. Keep in mind that d10's explode, meaning that if you roll a ten, you can re-roll that dice and add the next result to the total. After determining how many d10's from your Trait, add the Focus Dice from the appropriate Skill. These dice can range from a d4 to d12, but they don't explode on rolling max. The Target Number of non combat related skill checks is determined by the GM based on the difficulty. A Sample Contest Target Number table can be found on pg. 212. Casting Magic Similar to attacks and skill checks, casting magic also uses a Trait and Skill. All Rotes use Shinpi as its Trait, and with the exception of the four Common Rotes, all Rotes have an associated Skill that is rolled when casting. For example, the Soothe Rote uses the Meditation Skill, so if you plan on using Soothe, it's recommended you also have training in Meditation. You can find a list of all Rotes starting on pg. 158. Each Rote lists the following: ● Name ● Action ● Target Number ● Legend Cost ● Range ● Duration ● Casting Skill ● and a Description Restoring Legend If you find yourself casting a lot of magic and running out of Temporary Legend, you can use your Followers Background to restore some lost Legend Points. Rolling for Followers takes a Full Action, and you roll d10's equal to your Followers Rank. You can roll Followers once per session. Stealth To make an attempt at Stealth, there must be some reasonable chance of you not being seen: darkness, fog, a distraction, someone or something blocking sight of you. You don't necessarily need to know where your (potential) observers are to attempt Stealth, but if you're able to scout out all observers (guards, cameras, etc.) prior to or during your Stealth attempt, you gain Advantage on subsequent Stealth rolls. A Stealth roll is made as an Opposed Contest, where the character attempting Stealth rolls Reflex plus the Stealth Skill against any opponent's passive or active Perception. Passive Perception is a Free Action, rolled using only Perception, and is for situations where no one's actively watching. Active Perception is a Quick Action Interrupt, rolled using either Perception plus Survival or Perception plus Investigation. While in Stealth, you may only move at half your Move speed and must end your turn obscured or hidden in some way, or you immediately lose Stealth. If you dash across an open space while in Stealth, you may become Exposed if any observers catch sight of you. Cover Cover can only protect you from Ranged attacks. There are three types of Cover: ● No Cover: Protects less than 30% of your body. Provides no bonuses. ● Half Cover: Protects between 30 to 95% of your body. Ranged Attacks against you have Disadvantage. ● Full Cover: Only 5% of your body is exposed. You can't be targeted by Ranged Attacks barring a few exceptions. With some of the basic mechanics out of the way, I'd like to focus on some specific Skills that certain players for my upcoming game have chosen. There are 37 different Skills to choose in NewEdo, so this is only a small fraction of what's available. Dodge Dodge is a unique Skill that adds to a character's Defence against Melee Attacks. An invaluable Skill for an up close and personal fighter. At Rank 3, you can start Dodging Projectile Attacks. Dodging is a Quick Action Interrupt, so it's useful in conjunction with moving and acting while being attacked. Perfect for a martial fighter or ninja. Banter A fun social Skill that uses the Reflex Trait. Banter is used to steer a conversation with multiple people, helping or hindering others. At Ranks 2 and 3, you gain the Abilities Chime In and Burn, which allow you to make a Quick Action Interrupt to either add or subtract your Banter Roll from someone else's Social Roll. Athletics Like in most TRPG's, Athletics is your physical prowess in running, jumping, climbing, swimming, etc. In NewEdo, you unlock some special bonuses at later Ranks. At Rank 2, your Climb, Swim, and Lifting modifiers all increased. At Rank 3, you gain Tumble, an ability that allows you to reduce falling damage by the amount rolled from an Athletics Check. Unarmed Unarmed is your ability to fight without a weapon. It increases your ability to Grapple, and quickly increases damage to unarmed attack early on at Ranks 1 and 2. At Rank 3, you gain the ability to call Raises with unarmed attacks, a mechanic usually reserved to Projectile Attacks. Tactics Tactics checks are made right before the beginning of a fight. The leaders of both squads roll Savvy plus Tactics plus 1d10 for every active teammate to determine who's superior. The losing team begins combat Demoralized, a status condition that reduces their Initiative and Resolve by 5 each, and they can no longer take Quick Action Interrupt Attacks against Exposed targets. If you need to look up other Skills and what bonuses you get at each rank, begin on pg. 191. I'll finish things up by going over two of NewEdo's unique mechanics: Legend and Fate. Legend Legend is your character's overall power level, and measures how “Legendary” you are in the world. At a certain Legend ranking, your Path is increased, giving you new abilities. In addition to acting as your power level, it also fuels a resource known as Temporary Legend. Your Temporary Legend is restored between sessions, and it's used to cast Rotes and activate certain abilities, usually from Skill Ranks. It also acts as a last ditch HP Pool, known as Burning Legend. If you take damage past zero, you begin burning through Temporary Legend. Once all of your HP and Temporary Legend are depleted, you die for good. Fate Every character has a Fate Card, which acts as a personal random d100 roll chart. There are many things you can add to your Fate Card that come from character creation. You can roll for Fate once per turn, unless otherwise specified, to gamble for good fortune versus bad luck. When rolling for Fate, it's important to remember you can only roll when there are stakes, and only before you roll for a normal check. If you roll a Critical Success, you automatically succeed. Rolling a Botch means you automatically fail. And that concludes this episode of Rules Explanation for NewEdo! I hope that my players can use this to help prepare them for their upcoming game, but it should be noted that there's much more to learn than what was mentioned here. I encourage my players and anyone else listening to read up on more of the rules, especially those that pertain to your character. This is a large game, so it'll require a lot of trial and error, even for veterans like myself, however this system holds a lot of potential for detailed character development, tactical combat, and immersive storytelling. If you haven't picked this game up yet, and it sounds interesting, please consider buying it from Salty dash Games dot com. That's Salty, HYPHEN, Games dot com.
