The Snare of the Tree, and Other Perilous Seductions
What makes us glad we've played some games, but regret we've played others? What are the game design equivalents of 'savoury' and 'sweet?' Why is a working title dangerous, what menaces lurk in model railway dioramas, and what is the Snare of the Tree? Alexis Kennedy is an award-winning game designer who has developed some of the most original and intelligent indie games of the last decade, including Fallen London, Sunless Sea and Cultist Simulator. He is also the author of Against Worldbuilding, and Other Provocations. "I published Against Worldbuilding, and Other Provocations, and I got a good response. Readers also pointed out some things they'd prefer. Some wanted more original content. Some wanted more writing about the games I've made. One wanted "The Design of Everyday Things but for games." A couple of helpful souls pointed out that the first edition would have benefited from page numbers. This is a first stab at delivering some of those things. I can confirm the presence of page numbers. It's all original content. Some of it is about the games I've made. And I originally intended this book to be a much longer weightier thing, a total encapsulation of my views on games and game design. You'll be relieved to hear that this ain't that. I'll need another few years to marinade anything that size. The Snare of the Tree, And... is, instead, a punchy little number that you should be able to absorb in a couple of days of commuting."

Modern Chess Opening Repertoire for White
James Rizzitano's goal in this book is to provide you with a one-volume, theoretically sound, dynamic opening repertoire beginning with 1 e4.Studying the choices of the current top players, he identifies these secrets of their success: Play openings where you have a relatively safe king. Take the bishop-pair in a semi-open position if it is offered to you. Avoid creating unnecessary weaknesses in your own position. Accept questionable gambits and material sacrifices. Absorb any space advantage conceded by the opponent. His choice of lines to recommend is based on these principles, and supported by detailed work with the current top computer engines. While serious work on chess openings confirms the basic truth that White can't simply force a large advantage from the start position, we can greatly narrow Black's path to safety, and tilt the practical struggle in our favour. To have a chance of half a point, our opponents will need to solve difficult tactical and strategic problems deep into the middlegame.The main lines recommended are: Giuoco Piano (via Bishop's Opening move-order) Modern Advance Caro-Kann Tarrasch French Rossolimo and Moscow Sicilians, and 2...e6 3 c3 Traditional main lines vs Scandinavian and Alekhine Tricky piece-play options against the Pirc and Modern

Fantasy Town 2
In this town magic users are executed, everyone else is taxed to death.Do your players hate urban adventures? Are your fantasy towns just places to rest? Does your heart sink when faced with creating a fresh and original town or city?Welcome to the Fantasy Town series, a new development in fantasy role playing aids.Each book in the series outlines a unique urban setting filled with interesting characters. The books detail a host of townsfolk along with 20 incidents in which they're involved. A governing structure and method of policing is given for each town. The towns are designed as a collaboration between the author and the Game Master. They have no names or maps, so they can be fitted into existing campaigns, and they are independent of any particular game rules although basic fantasy themes are assumed. The characters and towns are highly adaptable and suggestions are given for possible development. The only limit is your imagination. Enter Poverty, Privilege, & Persecution if you dare, but keep any magic under wraps, because it's punishable by death here. This town is a dangerous place to be. Whether you're strong or weak, good or bad, fighter, thief, or especially user of magic, this is a town where it's wise to keep your head down and your eyes open. The town is ruled by five self-styled 'lords' and is divided into five districts, each paying tax to one of them. Since they lead lavish lifestyles and have small private armies to maintain, those taxes are steep and charged on just about every activity. The lords exist in an uneasy alliance, always trying to gain power over each other and wary of a knife in the back or a poisoned cup. Each knows that four districts would be richer than five, and three districts than four. For this reason, they go nowhere without their bodyguards, and all magic and magic users are forbidden on pain of death. P. A. Johnson has been a Game Master for over 30 years. Her game of choice is Dungeons & Dragons, which she has played in every incarnation apart from 4th edition. Getting bored with two dimensional towns, she started introducing 'irrelevant' events and found her players enjoyed interacting with the locals on a mundane level. Suddenly they felt at home and started becoming part of the town. The Fantasy Town series is her attempt to offer this experience to a wider audience.

There is a certain amount of petty crime, which is inadequately dealt with by an inefficient and excessively laid back Civil Watch. The latter is represented by the two watchmen Gavin and Tyce, who reappear throughout these incidents. At the moment, their two most difficult cases involve the inept thief Didier, and a man known only as the Town Flasher.The town is run by a council of citizens, membership of which is based upon wealth and alliances. Despite this somewhat nepotistic approach, the council does its best for all the townsfolk and provides a certain amount of civil relief for the poorest. The town council is represented herein by Fortune Lascelles, who is a member by virtue of his wife's money and social rank.P. A. Johnson has been a Game Master for over 30 years.
