  Before there was A Cry in the Moon’s Light . . . 
  This is the story of a beautiful peasant girl and a farm boy who fall in love in the South of France, years before she becomes mi Lady, the Duchess of Harcourt and he becomes . . . something else. It is also the story of William de Parlimae, their childhood companion, whose path takes a different turn. 
  As children, the three played together. But when the Lord’s son embarks on an important mission with his two closest friends, they find that they’ve stepped past the threshold of youth and into a long, dark night filled with nightmares, cruelty, and vicious beasts. 
  In the darkness, the two lovers seek refuge at an abandoned village deep in the Dark Forest. But will the moon’s light be enough for them to tell friend from enemy, poison from perfume, and the stuff of dreams from the horrors around them?

  Die Dissertation Role Playing Materials untersucht die materielle Seite von Larp, Mixed Reality und Pen'n'Paper Rollenspielen. Wie kooperieren Gewandung, Virtuelle-Realität-Brille, oder ein Bleistift mit Erzählung und Spielregeln? Neben Antworten auf diese Frage versucht das Buch das Verständnis von Rollenspiel als eine Handlung zu erweitern, die nicht nur von Menschen geprägt wird.
  
  Role Playing Materials examines how larp, mixed and tabletop role-playing games work. Costumes, computers, pen and paper are not passive elements. Materials change and are changed during role-playing game sessions, because they work together with narrative and ludic elements. If we think about materials as social elements, how do they make role-playing games work? To answer this question, Role Playing Materials draws on ethnographic fieldwork among role-playing communities in Germany. The analysis draws upon the fields of game studies, and science, technology and society studies.

  Nearly 100 years ago a Russian thermonuclear device transformed America's amber waves of grain into a sea of nuclear waste. The land of the free has been reduced to a Soviet slave-slate, repeatedly raped and plundered by its Red overlords. One man has led the desperate fight to free the once-great nation. He is Ted Rockson, the ultimate soldier of survival.A small band of survivalists known as the “Macy People” are besieged by a sect of mad cultists called The Caucus. Part of their high-tech arsenal is a mind-bending ray that threatens to turn the free-thinking Macys into zombie slaves. The Macy distress signal sends Rockson and his rough and ready squad of Freefighters from their Century City base across the horrific Forbidden Zone to the mysterious far west. There they meet Cultmaster Chairman Jensen, an opponent as vile as the Soviets. In the name of democracy and independence, Rockson and his men lock horns with The Caucus in a fierce battle to the death that will push the Freefighters to the very limits of their endurance—and beyond!
