It's designed to concentrate on what makes this kind of game fun: acting out a role. Instead of getting points and improving your abilities through killing, or performing daring feats, or being lucky with the dice, you get points for making the game fun for yourself and everyone else. By building a story. And the universe is rich enough to build any possible story. Good luck Rune's Law on making a success out of something you obviously worked so hard on. Having watched this project grow up for a while now, I do wish that everyone that contributed to this project would get due credit, but there's no doubt that this work is the combined efforts of many very creative people.

Playtest Review by Shadow Sprite on 12/20/98. Genre tags: Far Future Space Wayfarer Infinity is a space game that takes place in the far-flung future. And unlike most space games coming out recently (with the exception of Last Unicorn's "Star Trek: TNG") it doesn't have the post-apocalyptic, dark future overtones. The Wayfarer universe is filled with diversified life, that is to say there are a LOT of PC races available. There's high technology, and there's Psionic Abilities, here known as Genetic Abilities or GAs. If there's any easy way to sum up the game it's this: "Star Wars" where just about everyone has the power to use the Force. Not to say that the game is a "Star Wars" rip-off, on the contrary, the writers brought in a lot of creativity and different ideas to make the game unique unto itself.

This is definitely not a beer & pretzles game, the character creation and system itself are fairly math-intensive. So much so, that one of the original packaging ideas was to include a calculator. However, it's gone through enough playtesting, and refining that they have decided including a calculator was not neccessary. ...Plus, most gamers carry calculators already (especially if they play GURPS). The combat system is chart intensive as well, bringing back memories of the Role-Master system. However, despite the high math quotent and chart reading (or perhaps, due to), the system is very well-balanced. I was actually using an editor's copy to review the game, but have been told a GM's screen with a number of the often-used charts will be available, perhaps even packaged with the game.

To be honest, I found myself surprized at liking this game so much, it has the things I don't like about so many games. It's math intensive, chart intensive, and combat almost seems miniature based. However, the game itself is put together well enough that I found myself looking beyond that and finding pleasure in the game, rekindling memories when sitting around a table gaming with dice, calculator, and miniatures was fun.

Wayfarer Infinity is simply a space game, being neither Space Opera nor a hard SF game. It's a pleasant medium between the two. But if you plan on playing, I recomend making sure your calculator is working... and you might want to dust off your miniatures as well. All I can say is "kudos" to newcomer Rune's Law for a well put together game.

Style: 4 (Classy and well done) Substance: 5 (Excellent!)

Este libro en especial me ha ayudado mucho en el desarrollo de sitios con PERL, JavaScript, VBScript y HTML ... y se ha ido actualizando con el tiempo, NO ES OBSOLETO !!! --- This is a great reference book to programmers, what help me in web sites development, it is not obsolete !!!

While the Java portion assumes the reader is using the Sun JDK and the HTML is version 3, this book offers 6 of the most popular web related programming topics in one, easy to read manual. The greatest aspect of this book is that it is a reference manual, and as such all entries are alphabetical within their respective area. Having been a bookseller, I can honestly say that this is the best web reference manual I have seen.

I received this book as a gift, and it's become a permanent fixture on our living room table. The photos are spectacular, as is writing by Ken Brower,a knowledgeable and highly respected environmental writer.
I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and it was uplifting to read about how Sam Sebastiani has restored the wetlands on his vineyard. I wish all of the wine growers in California were as responsible stewards of the land!

I would highly recommend this book - and it would make a great gift!

Proof that our heroes are all around us. Stunning photographs affirm that we can save this planet from ourselves. The results of one person's efforts are reproduced in a neat, coffee table format that shows how even a mere 100 acre marsh (a former hay field!) can be transformed into a life-sustaining ecosytem that supports a diverse number of species. As in many of Ansel Adams photographs that encompass the reflection of the small landscape within the larger one--Michael Sewell has illustrated the importance of the "small place" as an ecological bell-weather of the greater environment. He proves that determined individual efforts do pay off, and gives us hope for the future. Text by the Browers, Father & Son, heighten this moving, life-affirming experience. Inspiring!

This book is great, the rhymes, the illustrations, the whole book is fantastic, I love it

This is such a nice, simple book with very clever pop-ups that really work after many readings. My son, who is not quite three, loves to read this book to me. It has definitey been one of our favorites.

"Big Book 2" is as important a reference work as the original edition. Everyone who is a serious student of GIS needs to have access to this resource. It covers the foundations and frontiers of GI *SCIENCE* with contributions from many of the most well-known researchers in the field. A must have.

You can tell this book is writen by an engineer whom knows his work. So many books are writren by " laymen " whom don't know much about the subject But this book is well worth the cost I recommend it to anybody

A very helpful read on assessing a carriers productivity and cost. Well documented, well written. A must read for anyone interested in productivity and cost measurements for airlines. Topics include partial factor productivity, total factor productivity, economies of scale, density and scope, cost functions and implications.

Large-format and sturdy, lavishly illustrated and with illuminating prose, this book covers the 2001-2 Dia Arts Center show which was utterly mesmerizing. If you are unaware of Jensen, google him while waiting for this book to arrive...one of the most fascinating, and certainly most original artists ever.

Contains fascinating stories of coin hoards found and single coin finds. Most of the historical stories behind a particular hoard are fascinating. If you like stories about shipwrecks and the old west in connection with coins then this book is for you. It also list locations of possible future coin finds.

This book successfully captures the vast architectural contributions achieved in the Twentieth Century in American residential design by spotlighting 33 masterpieces located across the country.

The book begins with stunning photographs and drawings of remarkable homes built early in the century, including the Greene and Greene Gamble House in Pasadena, Ca., Rudolph Schindler's Lovell Beach House in Newport Beach, Ca., and Richard Neutra's Lovell Heath House in Los Angeles, Ca. Then, homes are featured that embody "the triumph of the modern American house," including Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater in Bear Run, Pa. The final and largest section of the book highlights "blueprints for modern living," such as Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Ct., Louis Kahn's Korman House in Fort Washington, Pa., and Frank Gehry's house in Santa Monica, Ca.

The book lets the images of the homes, exterior and interior, speak for themselves through extra-large photographs. The accompanying commentary focuses well on the architects' contributions to architecture.

I very highly recommend this book. It is the best compilation of American residential masterpieces of the Twentieth Century that I've seen, and even more importantly, the authors have put the differing styles in perspective with the evolution of American architecture.
