IntroductionI probably should write something here aboutbeing a Dungeon Master: Its been aboutmultidisciplinary learning.My art, Writing, and Poetry sucked but I Stuckwith them and while they suck a little less...theyare tinged with regret.

Feel free to rip off everything in this book foryour own fun, though I wouldn’t mind getting acoin or a set of D&D dice from whatever countryyou live in to put in my table of coins or dice.

1d6 determines Alignment Spread in apopulation.Roll Alignment1-3 Lawful4-5 Neutral6 ChaoticThis means 50% are Lawful, 33% are Neutral,and 16.5% are Chaotic.

The Ansu ScaleAnsu is Protoindoeuropean for Demon. Anythingnot considered one of us was regarded as aDemon. The Ansu Scale is a measure ofDemonization of the differences in humans.Fairies, Elves, Dwarves or Ogres, Trolls, andGiants. Dungeons and Dragons is a Mirror onHumanity and Mirrors can be dangerous.

17d6+5 determines Physical Height in inches inHumans. This means there is a 1 in16,926,659,444,736 chance of being 1’10”.this climbs to 17 in 16,926,659,444,736 ofbeing 1’11”.

Example: Specularum has 50,000 where 1/216has 18 intelligence (231.48 people). 1 in six ofwhom are chaotic (38.5 people). So thirty eightcitizens will be criminal super-geniuses (Moriarty).

that the Hill is an ancient Mud Brick tomb ofmany construction layers the most recent ofwhich is Nithian. The Tomb is eroded bymillennia of weather until it looks like any otherhill.

Nucleus of the SpheresWith the Destruction of the Nucleus of theSpheres magic fails. Thyatis, the great Republic,finds it can no longer provide the food and fuelneeded by its populace. The only supply ofFirewood in range is the forests of Vyalia. Here isthe problem. A Million people require10,000,000,000lb of fire wood each year. At20,000lb per acre this represents 500,000 acres.There is 640 acres per square mile x 56 squaremiles per 8-mile hex. This is 13.95 hexes of lightforest per year or 4.65 heavy forest. Recovery forlight forest should be considered twenty to fiftyyears and heavy forest one hundred years. Vyaliawill not be a sustainable fuel source, and it isinevitable that Thyatis will run out of wood fuelwithin a decade even if there is imperialmanagement of that fuel reserve.Grain imports would bankrupt the empire as itstruggles to feed its populace. The sustainableeconomy might be the shift from slavery to oneacre market gardens maintained by individualfamilies as opposed to slaves.Social Stratification exists in opposition toMilitary Participation. It is ultimately in theinterest of the Thyatian Empire to recognise itsslaves as the most junior military rank andemploy them and every other citizen as SupportTroops employed in food production, fortificationconstruction, and so forth.

History: Two centuries ago the Holy Empire wasexpanding and it needed to establish a footholdbeyond its existing borders thus the Emperorrequested the Paladin Wilmar Kel to abandon hisparticipation in the siege of the unholy city of

Essen and undertake a lone journey to theNorthern Borderlands wherein he would bringlaw to the lawless.These borderlands were a haven for free peoplesand the worst of the worst and in a way, despitethe hostility met by the Imperial Paladin, thePeople of the Borderland needed Kel. Hetravelled the region punishing the worst anddefending the weak. He battled a Demon fromthe Helwood saving the entire village of WrothOnd was founded by Wilmar Kel on the Banks ofthe River Gnashing beyond which was theHelwood and what began as a log-timber long-house and stable lasted a decade before Kel hadrecruited and trained new Paladins from theyoung of the Borderlands. The Long-house expanded to include a separatestables, barracks, and a Prison house whereoffenders could be kept when they were notworking to produce their own food. On the edgewere established Watch Towers that weremanned night and day once there were enoughPaladins.Those who could be broken were rehabilitatedand taught farming and those who would notwere tattooed in the Holy Symbols of the Empire,and taken across the River Gnashing to the farside and given a Sword. They could never returnto the civilised world but they would always behuman. Instead they were unleashed on thedemons of the Helwood.It had always been expected that the Empirewould expand and absorb the Borderlands as theBorderlands became civilised. Unfortunatelyturmoil in the Empire halted the expansion andOnd was left to develop or fail on its own merits.The Paladins were able to establish Ond as acentre of Law in the Borderlands. Fifty yearsafter it was established over time it became aPrison where other communities would sent theworst of their populace. The convicts did theretime and those who could be rehabilitated tookup farming around Ond.Ondberg grew up around the Prison until it waspurchased by a Merchant house in payment fordebts owed by the Emperor Cholm the Tight-Fisted. While the Merchants would never own thePaladins or the Prison, they were in control of theurban periphery they had established. Ondberg’s

24

merchants had established shops and housesaround the inside of a timber palisade and a roadwhich separated them from the Prison and itshalf square mile of farm lands all up against theriver Gnashing...

Current: Two hundred years on, Ondberg is nowa significant City-state. The empire didn’t expandto engulf Ondburg and the Borderlands so it hasbecome a fairly free place. Stories of Paladinsbattling Demons from the Helwood are nowconsidered fairy-tales though the Paladinsmaintain records of such battles.Riverboats steer clear of the Helwood by traditionas they move goods up and down the RiverGnashing...

He ishowever unable to get past the gate that confineshim to the gate keep – no one can.A stone carving depicting some violent struggleinvolving three men blocks the way into thecastle. One may only pass through the barrierdisarmed. Unfortunately a puzzle exists – awarrior with an Axe is now trapped in the stone.The axe must be removed so the door is freed.He was in fact a messenger. The Bronze Coinmust be returned to his hand in place of the Axe.Guarding the barrier is a warrior with a spearand a medallion on a leather thong around hisneck.The Village of Crossbow exists because itsoccupants are descended of those who laid siegeto the castle and when claiming it provedimpossible, did not depart. Instead they settled inits shadow and raised families.

Subsidence

Subsidence is determined by the width (w) of thecave and the height (h) from the ceiling tosurface. Subsidence begins at 10% and ends atFailure.

• Subsidence = W/h

35 degrees is the critical angle for subsidence ofmaterial into a subsidence.

Depth of Subsidence from surface is 80% of theheight of the chamber ceiling from floor.

Time to Subsidence is ongoing determined byrate of excavation. As this passes through zero,Instantaneous extraction (Disintegrate) isinstantaneous subsidence.

Insitu Columns are designed to reduce subsidenceto 10%. Goaf distance is the space betweencolumns or the Column and Wall.

• Goaf Distance = height x 0.6• Column Width = height x 0.12

Water Movement through cracks begins at 85%subsidence (w/h=0.85), Its possible for a mine ordungeon to experience water movement at therate of 10-30 gallons per minute.

When language is created it refers to a specificlocation, not a conceptual one. Road means ‘thatRoad’, not ‘a Road’. Lake Ho will have been anactual lake in an actual location but when thenext Lake is encountered that becomes ‘like theoriginal Lake’ so it becomes ‘Lake (insert othername here)’. Lake Ho might have been a Lakename from a previous language developmentgroup.

There are two common origins:• Group A reside near a Lake with a river,

forest and mountain (or two mountains).• Group B reside near a river, lake and

forest by the sea.The forest may be the same forest, the River thesame river, or they may be different.

Building a Novel

Create a network of character interaction. This provides us with a story structure to whichthe Narrative can be attached.

Dashed line indicatesnon-verbalcommunication orsingle directionconversation.Solid Line indicatesconversation withboth speaking, and

heavy bar indicates multiple conversations atvarying times.

It tells us that Baron Elbert has no fewer than fiveinteractions and Lord Rohan no more than five

43

interactions (Several with Baron Elbert directlyand indirectly).

Story StructureLord Rohan (#1), having had a significantinteraction – by correspondence with BaronElbert (Ch2) has pissed Elbert off to no end.Elbert interacts with his servant Duro ( #5) whogives instructions to castle servants: Onslo (#12),Jenkins (#13), and Haas (#14).Elbert’s Lover, Ella gets poison from the CastleApothecary (#8).Lord Rohan knowing that Baron Elbert rides forRohan’s Manor with a band of thugs, has hisflunky Dray (#3) hire an Assassin named Bregia(#4) to kill Baron Elbert while he is travelling toRohan’s Manor.Baron Elbert’s Servant, Grim (#10) rides down arandom Peasant (#11) while Elbert and retinueare travelling from the Castle Elbert to Rohan’sManor house by Horse for hunting in Elbert’sWoods.On Arrival at Rohan’s Manor, Baron Elbert’sLover (and Secret Ninja), Ella (#9) poisonsRohan’s Man Bertran (#7).Elbert then has further face to face interactionswith Rohan – killing him but not before Rohanwhispers to his Son, Torhan (#6): “Avenge Me!”and Torhan replying: “Father.“Thus a novel can be built quickly and withpurpose. The characters can comprise adedicated chapter of the Character and theirinteractions. So the entire story takes place in asingle day.

Matter Mass is a force pulling toward a common centre.

Mass is also a force pulling at a common centre.

What if Matter is a standing wave of bunched upspace time between two forces created by thesame mass?

This implies Mass creates Matter. This is anincorrect assumption. We are looking at collapseof Superposition into a String (the ongoingdivision of one force by another).

Example1/7 = 0 r 1 2/7 = 0 r 2 4/7 = 0 r 410/7 = 1 r 3 20/7 = 2 r 6 40/7 = 5 r 53/7 = 0 r 3 6/7 = 0 r 6 5/7 = 0 r 530/7 = 4 r 2 60/7 = 8 r 4 50/7 = 7 r 1

Solution1/7 = 0.{142857} (recurring)

This is how a string forms (from the ongoingdivision x by y) and then ceases to exist whenresolved. PI is an unresolvable string until it isresolvable.

Algebraic Roots:

1/7 = 0 r 1xn/7 = yn r 1xn = 7yn + 1xn/7 = yn r xn+1

xn = 7yn + xn+1

Divide by ZeroA divided by Zero equals NOT A (A set unrelatedto A except at superposition). The Separatingboundary is a String.The distance between two points is change inpossibility via superposition. A string is anentanglement separating one possibility fromanother possibility.

Particle & Wavemn-1 + {mn}

somewhere in there is a dark matter drive as we capture the particle with a superconducting chamber that creates a field in opposition to an applied field. And wrap the mirror particle in its field as it is expelled as propellant.

Pinhole Camera and Black HolesY (diameter of pinhole) equals K multiplied by thesquare root of X (distance of object from pinhole).What if the pin-hole is a black hole that expands forwards and backwards through time as change in possibility.

Fair warning to kids who want a Pool: When yourdad says here is the shovel, he doesn’t actuallyexpect you to go to the effort of digging the hole.Persist. Dig that mud-hole and fill it with waterfrom the tap. And you will need to soak theground to soften the clay as you go. Crowbar theedges inward.
