A web enhancement for the game, called More of The Wheel of Time!, was rele=
ased on the Wizards of the Coast website at the same time the book was publ=
ished. This short downloadable file contains a few new Feats and channellin=
g abilities, information on new NPCs and background information on the coun=
tries of Ghealdan, Mayene and Murandy (including new information on their h=
istories not found elsewhere).
North-west of the Westlands lies a foreboding region of water which is comp=
letely lifeless. No fish or aquatic life can be found here at all, north of=
 the latitude of the southern edge of the Great Blight. The Sea Folk call s=
tretch of ocean the Dead Sea, and it continues westwards for as far as they=
 have explored. North of the Dead Sea lies the northern polar ocean, which =
is impassable at all times of year due to being frozen solid.
To the east, beyond Shara, lies the Morenal Ocean (sometimes called the Sea=
 of Omerna), which separates that land from the Seanchan continent. Curious=
ly, linear measurements show that the distance from Shara to Seanchan acros=
s the Morenal Ocean is far smaller than the distance from the Westlands to =
Seanchan across the Aryth, raising interesting questions about why the most=
 well-travelled sea lanes between the two landmasses are the longer route a=
cross the Aryth Ocean. This suggests that the Morenal Ocean may be too dang=
erous to traverse, or a past confrontation between Shara and Seanchan convi=
nced the Seanchan to give that nation a wide berth. The truth of this remai=
ns speculative.
Contrasting the time of the Wheel with our own, it appears that the world i=
s cooler. Both the polar icecaps are huge, much larger than our own, with A=
ntarctica (or whatever part of it survived the Breaking) completely buried =
under reams of ice. The larger icecaps increase the albedo of the planet an=
d reflect more sunlight into space, likely cooling it further. The known de=
serts are much smaller than in our time (with the possible exception of dry=
 lands deep in the Seanchan interior) and temperate forests exist at tropic=
al latitudes. The world is likely rainier than now, due to the much vaster =
oceans giving rise to larger rain clouds (this is indicated by the vast cer=
anos storms that ravage the southern coast of the Westlands).
Deep learning researchers and framework developers worldwide rely on cuDNN =
for high-performance GPU acceleration. It allows them to focus on training =
neural networks and developing software applications rather than spending t=
ime on low-level GPU performance tuning. cuDNN accelerates widely used deep=
 learning frameworks, including Caffe2, Chainer, Keras, MATLAB, MxNet, Padd=
lePaddle, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. For access to NVIDIA optimized deep lear=
ning framework containers that have cuDNN integrated into frameworks, visit=
 NVIDIA GPU CLOUD to learn more and get started.
Pressing the action button in sync with the animations increases damage out=
put while reducing incoming damage. Along with timed hits, combat features =
multi-character combo attacks, boosting, and a strategic =C2=AB locks =C2=
=BB system offering options to play with different damage types in order to=
 hinder enemies while they are channeling powerful attacks or spells, all i=
n an immersive take on the genre; no random encounters, no transitions to s=
eparate battlefields, and no grinding.
As fully fledged Solstice Warriors you will eventually get full control ove=
r the sun and moon, so whether you just want to chill in your favorite area=
 in the ambiance of your choice, need to solve a complex puzzle related to =
lighting, or there is a magic door that only opens at midnight, the control=
 will be yours, all in real time.
Yes, the core team from The Messenger has fully transitioned over to Sea of=
 Stars. As making an RPG was a bigger undertaking for us, we ramped up the =
team to 23 full time members, all cut from the same cloth, and working from=
 our studio located in downtown Quebec City, Canada.
Aside from the ideation process which has been a lifelong hobby of creating=
 a shared universe in which all of our games could take place, a few devs b=
egan laying the technical foundation late 2018. The rest of the studio tran=
sitioned full time in July 2019 after the release of Picnic Panic.
The books are around 400-page softcovers each, with a black and white inter=
ior, on a size of 15 x 23 cm (6 x 9 inches). The pdf of volume four has bee=
n already finalised when it comes to the layout and format, and is pretty m=
uch identical to what the printed version will look like; as a pdf and incl=
uding the covers it is 456 pages overall. The text has been optimized for e=
lectronic reading; there is a single column per page, allowing the reader t=
o read one or two pages at a time (depending on how big his screen is). As =
in volumes one, two and three there is an extensive electronic index, but a=
t least in the pdf version I do not see active hyperlinks. I have no idea w=
hether these exist on the mobi, ePub or azw3 versions.
The strong points: As a follower of Shannon's initial column, and having re=
ad the 2011 version or rather the majority of articles from the 2011 versio=
n multiple times, having the follow up series in front of me makes me all h=
appy and warm inside. I couldn't have possibly known back then, but I felt =
certain that that material, that book, had so much potential that it had to=
 be redone in a better way than before. As I wrote on my 2012 review, books=
 like this validate the existence of a hobby. De&D contains an unprecedente=
d wealth of information about the English-speaking RPG industry that nobody=
 could have possibly collected on his own, and which becomes increasingly h=
arder to track down, amongst other due to the course of life. If one can't =
address the protagonists because they are no longer among us, by definition=
 he can only consult secondary sources. Shannon himself acknowledges that i=
n many occasions there were conflicting accounts even about hard facts as t=
o when a product was printed. The writing is thus authoritative on the issu=
es that have been verified, while it acknowledges the divergence of opinion=
s on what wasn't. The honesty is appreciated: in some cases not only differ=
ent accounts were given by different people, but even the same people told =
the story differently, with the time having passed and all. In that sense m=
aybe the forth volume was slightly easier to research and compose, seeing h=
ow it is the most current. It also demonstrates however that even though th=
e author does not take sides, he is opinionated about what occurred in nume=
rous of the described companies' stories.
No previous knowledge of role-playing is needed in order to read and enjoy =
the fourth volume independently. The passive and inexperienced reader, e.g.=
 a non-gamer, might be a bit perplexed at times since the book takes part o=
f our collective cultural subconscious for granted (e.g., which were D&D's =
initial six stats, or what is a stat for that matter), however that is to b=
e expected. Any recount of the story of a specialist hobby would have a sim=
ilar result to the uninitiated. The experienced reader or the ardent hobbyi=
st, on the other hand, will find the writing engrossing. I read volume four=
 the same way I read volume three, haphazardly, jumping from companies I fo=
llow to companies I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
The premise of the book is mostly kept, i.e. listing the history of the ind=
ustry by company. Mini-histories and other inserts still exist, but I find =
that they are done more cohesively and less intrusively than before. That h=
as an immediate effect on the problem of repetitiveness that plagued the 20=
11 edition. On the present fourth volume, like in volume three, the issue i=
s laid to rest. In the previous edition this was mostly observed when the l=
ives and works of designers were presented in one go, as well as on the eve=
nts relating to the d20 revolution and the OGL. The episodic nature of Shan=
non's initial column obliged him to often repeat certain events, sometimes =
ad nauseam (it made sense too, thinking of all the companies that entered t=
he OGL fray). All this however is finally cleaned up; the d20 explosion and=
 the implications that the OGL brought are discussed in detail under the hi=
story of WotC in the third volume. This event in itself is mentioned but is=
 no longer intrusive in the histories of other companies that peddled exten=
sively d20 goods, nor the implosion of the d20 market that had quite an eff=
ect on some of the companies dealt with on the present fourth volume.
In the end Evil Hat and Shannon opted for not using footnotes. On the 2011 =
edition that was a serious defect. With all the other technical improvement=
s (tighter editing, additional content etc) this is not so much of an issue=
. The perfectionist in me would have preferred the footnote treatment in or=
der to truly make this the best history book ever written about our hobby. =
In the end, I respect that in order to strip the work from its origins arti=
cles and make it a fully cohesive oeuvre, it would have taken substantially=
 more time and dedication, time that is now used probably more constructive=
ly.
Conclusion: This is it; the series is complete. It is as perfect as they ge=
t. There is nothing else to say than go buy these four books, yes, all four=
 of them. We owe it to ourselves to know our history, to know who we are. S=
hannon continues his great work on a product level this time. It can be rea=
d under each listing at You can follow it more thoroughly however through t=
he Designers & Dragons facebook page. Will this be the next generation of r=
esearch into our hobby? An article per supplement, instead of an article pe=
r company? I can hardly wait!
