![]() Inside your headlight is where much of the wiring converges, so is a good place to start. When working on your existing wiring loom it is best not to just start cutting wildly (like I do!) but to be very careful. Personally, I sometimes strip my bikes even further, but I’ll mention that further down the page. This diagram is setup to run a headlight and brake light, keep your battery charged, and have a keyed ignition. ![]() I tried not to tailor it specifically to any particular model of bike, and I tried to make it as easy to understand as possible – but really any 70’s and early 80’s model bike with carbs will adapt to this diagram quite well. By trimming down the wiring you’ll be saving complexity, saving weight, and cleaning up the look of your bike.īelow is a generic wiring diagram I whipped up that can be used as a guideline. It doesn’t take a whole lot of wiring to keep a bike on the road, especially if you don’t want to cater to the law word for word. A lot of the controls can be removed, blinkers, gauges and indicators, relays and switches. If you are trying to build a stripped down bike there is a lot going on that you don’t need. Lots of 70’s and 80’s bikes will look the same, especially the four cylinders. ![]() The above diagram is from a Honda CB750 Custom dual cam bike. You might have checked the wiring diagram for your bike already and seen something like this: These days I just grab my wire snips and start trimming away with no regard for common sense and caution – but if you are working with your first wiring loom I’m going to try and give you some guidance right now. Sometimes people are just trying to fix their blinkers and aren’t familiar with how motorcycle electrics work – but more often than not I get requests about trimming down electronics for custom riders.Īn essential part of building any sort of chopper, bobber, cafe racer, brat bike, or rat rod is getting rid of all the unnecessary items. I get a lot of questions about wiring motorcycles.

![]() Once again every character class gets a new Archetype to play around with. Not only does this second helping include more in the way of character options for players but we get a healthy dose of setting lore for GMs to utilize. I liked the first foray into new Archetypes from Jeremy that I figured I’d pick this one up as well. Ravenloft Archetypes II: Core Domains Adventurer’s Guide The Vistani, bold choice to go full blooded, the Crag Dwarf, a version of the classic dwarf that has evolved a bit of dexterity not seen in its cousins, and the Dusk Elf, which represents more of a stylistic choice than a trait based one (thought it does offer access to some supplement specific feats). There are three new races to choose from. Archetypes like the Oath of Blood for a Paladin striving to hold off their vampire nature after suffering the curse or the Reanimated archetype for a Sorcerer who has already died but now roams the plane as a risen magic user particularly stand out as unique to the setting. There are no new classes to speak of in this supplement but there is at least one new archetype for each of the core classes represented in the pages. ![]() When Curse of Strahd hit the scene it was all about characters from Forgotten Realms being drawn into the Demiplane of Dread, not so here. In this fiendish supplement the character choices presented typically take on a darker tone, as they are representative of character options for actual denizens of the Ravenloft setting.

So, while Strahd might not have much to worry about as a powerful vampire lord, it’s a different story for the Dungeon Master. Unfey's players might be avoiding much of the dungeon, but at least they are still trying to fight the villain - even if they are reaching him in their own unique and creative way. It can be a difficult balance to find, but an important one. However, players also need some structure in order to ensure the story doesn't diverge in too many areas. Striking a balance is key when acting as Dungeon Master, no one wants their D&D experience "Railroading," where players have few choices and are led through a restrictively linear story. ![]() Players will have to search the castle eventually to find where his body reforms even if they are able to defeat him in battle. In the comments, other users explained that Strahd didn’t need to be nervous - as a vampire, he is notoriously difficult to defeat. Unfey jokingly added that the vampire lord Strahd was “shaking in his boots” watching this group of adventurers avoid all the traps and encounters intended to slow them down. ![]() Apparently, the players used the spell Stone Shape, along with some shovels, to create a passage through the castle walls, essentially forming a straight line towards their goal rather than winding their way through the confusing halls and passages. In a post on Reddit, user Unfey detailed an experience running Curse of Strahd with their players, who managed to find a way around some of Castle Ravenloft’s traps and monsters. Related: D&D Narrative Tricks For Getting Parties Back On Track Domains can include anything the DM can imagine, from horrific mind flayers to resurrected mummies but perhaps the most terrifying concept of all is a group of players doing something unexpected and bypassing such elements. Horror can be an entertaining genre for tabletop RPGs, and the D&D 5th Edition recently released Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, a supplemental book that introduced multiple domains of dread within D&D - incorporating unique locations with particularly horrifying aspects. In this adventure, players must solve the mysteries of Barovia, a strange and cursed location controlled by Strahd. ![]() Perhaps one of the most infamous D&D villains is Strahd von Zarovich, the evil vampire lord of Barovia, the setting of the fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure, Curse of Strahd. Ravenloft, redubbed the Friendship Palace by Franz, was brought outside Phandalin.A Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master is disappointed after their players utilized some unexpected exploits to bypass sections of Strahd’s Castle. The castle was consecrated of its evil powers and teleported back to the material plane. Much later, Outhouse returned to Barovia with a new power. Carlos and Mordenkainen were able to recover Argynvost's skull and return it to its home. The Fangs acted quickly, driving a stake into his heart, ending his reign forever.Īfter defeating the vampire, the Fangs had a run of the place, looting if for all it was worth. The party followed him back down to his destroyed coffin, where he rematerialized, stunned. As Swirvathan unleashed a mighty Eldritch Blast, the vampire evaporated into mist. They engaged in epic battle with the vampire, using the artifacts to bring him to his knees. Using Vladimir's revenant powers, the party was able to quickly find Strahd in his study. Knowing the nature of vampires, the party destroyed his resting place and advanced onwards. While in the catacombs, the party was able to find Strahd's coffin. Joining the Fangs and rounding out the Barovian Liberation Squad was Rictavio, Izek, and Vladimir. The Fangs were able to tunnel below the ravine into the castle's catacombs using an earth elemental under the control of Avich. The army was left under the supervision of Mordenkainen while the Fangs advanced on the castle. The people of Barovia helped to man the trebuchets and do battle with Strahd's army of the undead. In the Siege of Ravenloft, the Fangs were able to gather the forces of Barovia to march upon the castle. The castle proper included a cathedral, study, teleportation center, and various other chambers. Beneath the castle was a vast network of catacombs, home to important figures of Barovia's past. Strahd ruled over Barovia for hundreds of years until the arrival of the Fangs.Ĭastle Ravenloft stood on a large pillar of stone overlooking a vast ravine. The Knights of Argynvostholt tried to combat Strahd and march on his castle, but were soundly defeated. When Strahd rose as a vampire, he overtook Castle Ravenloft, establishing his dominion over Barovia. ![]() Castle Ravenloft was the ancestral home of the von Zarovich family. ![]() I enjoyed most of the side content – as familiar as it is – and found the time was well invested, as leveling up once again does a nice job of empowering you with godlike abilities, especially for flight. You can also beat the crap out of frat boys in Pledge Rush, a scoring-based activity that pushes you to launch sweatered college kids hundreds of feet into goals. With the story campaign only consisting of a handful of missions – which can be completed in a couple of hours – most of your time goes into side activities like Mayhem, Survival, Fraud (now called Torment Fraud), Tank Mayhem, and ring-based races. The diversions and activities, my favorite parts of the last few Saints Row games, fare well, but again are largely built around Saints Row IV’s conventions. The majority of the critical path content is tied to loyalty mission checklists, in which the player must just complete a wide variety of side content. The creative mission structures from previous Saints Row games are nowhere to be found here. The majority of the gameplay concepts are re-skinned from Saints Row IV, and most of the experience lacks complexity and unfolds through rote shooting galleries.Ĭompleting objectives for characters like William Shakespeare, who has holed himself up as a DJ in one of Hell’s nightclubs, brings amusing dialogue, but without the follow through of a legitimate mission it feels like part of the game is missing. ![]() The gameplay is infused with light hellish themes but lacks creativity, making this Saints Row experience the least inspired yet. The storytelling is a highlight of this standalone expansion. The series continues to spiral further out of control with each new entry, and this installment pushes that boundary even further, peaking with a hilarious musical number that sees Johnny Gat, Satan, and the devil’s daughter expressing their feelings in a song that seems like it was stripped right out of a Disney movie. Through the ridiculous conceptual setup, Volition and High Voltage find a fun way to raise the stakes for the 3rd Street Saints. Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington, two of Saints Row’s most popular characters, sprout angelic wings and are our guides through this dangerous place. Unlike previous Saints Row games, a player-created character is not the star of this outworldly adventure. The city consists of ominous black skyscrapers, a rundown industrial district, soil infested with angry tentacles, and roads filled with rusted cars and monster trucks spewing fire. Holding true to this series’ bombastic approach to storytelling, their mission is to assassinate Satan and bring hope to all of the souls he's damned.ĭevelopers Volition and High Voltage Software interpret Hell as a thriving metropolis (called New Hades), lit mostly by the fire in the air and the molten rivers running underneath it. The last hope for our species to survive lies drifting aimlessly in space with the Saints.Īnd that ridiculous timeline of events leads us to one place the Saints haven’t been: the afterlife. The Saints won out in the end, but not before Earth was destroyed. With the Saints’ leader standing tall as the President of the United States of America, this small gang became humanity’s last hope against alien invaders. That endeavor led to great fame and power: fast cars, skyscrapers, armies, and even control of the White House. ![]() Their ambitions started small: liberate Stilwater’s streets from the violence inflicted by rival gangs. Over the course of four games, the Saints paved a trail of glory unlike anything we’ve seen. Outside of retconning Saints Row’s lore, or sending the 3rd Street Saints on a time-traveling adventure, Gat Out of Hell would appear to be the final outing for the purple fleur-de-lis. ![]() 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The “Royal Albert Hall” Concert (1966) And the achingly beautiful “Girl from the North Country” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” surely rank near the top of any list of Dylan’s greatest love songs.ĥ) The Bootleg Series Vol. With the Cuban missile crisis fresh in the memory, Dylan captured the zeitgeist perfectly with timeless protest songs “Masters of War”, “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”. “Love Sick” and 16-minute epic “Highlands” are fantastic, but “Not Dark Yet” is the key song, one of Dylan’s greatest and most insightful ever.Ī year in the making, and a quantum leap from his debut, Dylan’s first classic album marked his coming of age as a composer. Time Out of Mind is again distinguished by Daniel Lanois’ atmospherically muddy production, but it is the emotional impact of the songs and Dylan’s fragile voice that matter most. Įerily prescient given Dylan’s close brush with death shortly after its release, this mighty creative rebirth is a dark dissertation on mortality and a reflection on times past. Finally emerging eight years later and including masterpieces such as “Tears of Rage” and “This Wheel’s On Fire” amid a grab bag of traditional American music influences, The Basement Tapes fully justified its reputation as a roots rock milestone. Recorded with The Band in Woodstock’s famed Big Pink house in 1967 after Dylan’s infamous motorcycle accident, for years these recordings represented one of the rock’s most sought after bootlegs. “All Along the Watchtower”, “Drifter’s Escape” and the mellow, countrified “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” are particular standouts. Peopled with hobos, drifters and various misfits, this affectionate almost spiritual celebration of the poor and the oppressed is now viewed as one of Dylan’s most significant and influential works. “Lay Lady Lay” is the obvious standout, with the rueful “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here with You” – one of his loveliest songs – not far behind.Ī post-motorcycle accident Dylan rejected the lysergic trends of the time and produced an understated, rootsy album that anticipated the Americana genre of later decades. And what’s more, his voice was now a warm, honeyed croon. Violinist Scarlet Rivera adds immeasurably to the overall sound and that’s a luminous Emmylou Harris you hear on backing vocals.ĭylan confounded fans and critics alike as he embraced country music on a homely, deeply personal collection reflecting his domestic contentment and his love as a teenager for Hank Williams. “Isis” is a rambling, surrealist widescreen epic, and “Sara” his last stab at a reconciliation with his wife whom he had savaged on Blood on the Tracks. Opener, “Hurricane”, about a wrongly imprisoned boxer, may not be totally factually accurate but masterfully recalls the previous decade’s classic social injustice songs.

To be honest, there are really too many World War II shooters to list all of the ones with real missions, even if we dedicated an entire list to World War II. (As a bonus, some versions of this game come with the 2002 Medal of Honor: Frontline which has some stunning depictions of real battles like the D-Day landings and Operation Market Garden, though even the remastered version has quaint graphics by modern standards.) While the names of individuals and units have all been changed, a lot of the key moments and terrain features from the actual battle are represented like when a SEAL is lost on Takur Ghar or the many times that members of Delta Force called in airstrikes on enemy forces. Eagle-eyed historians will recognize the story as a (loose) interpretation of Operation Anaconda, the largest battle of the invasion of Afghanistan complete with dozens of special operators, thousands of friendly soldiers, and about 1,000 guerrilla fighters. So thanks for your patient + support, and I hope you'll like this mod.The 2010 game Medal of Honor is set during the invasion of Afghanistan with a prologue that includes clearing Bagram Airfield and a main campaign centered on special operators in the Shahikot Valley. To play with SPEARHEAD, run the attached moh_spearhead.exe To play with ALLIED ASSAULT & BREAKTHROUGH, run the attached moh_breakthrough.exe if ask to overwrite the exe or pk3 files, click YES Extract the zip files into your Medal of Honor folder Delete the previous version's files (very important, if they are exist) Recommend to install the mod into a new MOHAA install, not recommmend to use with other mods.

![]() Bacteria get caught up in the current and stick to the collar, and the choano engulfs them. The tail, thrashing back and forth, drives a current across a rigid, collarlike fringe of thin strands of cell membrane. Choanoflagellates are not the most charismatic of creatures, consisting of an oval blob equipped with a single taillike flagellum that propels the organism through the water and also allows it to eat. To understand why this might have happened the way it did, King began studying choanoflagellates, the closest living relative to animals, nearly 15 years ago as a postdoc at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. But animals were the first to develop complex bodies, emerging as the most dramatic example of early multicellular success. ![]() Nonetheless, during the course of evolution, the transition to multicellularity happened separately as many as 20 different times in lineages from algae to plants to fungi. And to her surprise, she found that bacteria may have played a crucial role in ushering in this new era. In these organisms, which can live either as single cells or as multicellular colonies, she has found much of the molecular toolkit necessary to launch animal life. “Choanoflagellates are to my mind clearly the organism to look at if you’re looking at animal origins,” King said. So King turned to choanoflagellates, microscopic aquatic creatures whose body type and genes place them right next to the base of the animal family tree. Fossils don’t offer a clear answer: Molecular data indicate that the “Urmetazoan,” the ancestor of all animals, first emerged somewhere between 600 and 800 million years ago, but the first unambiguous fossils of animal bodies don’t show up until 580 million years ago. How did life make this spectacular leap from unicellular simplicity to multicellular complexity? Nicole King has been fascinated by this question since she began her career in biology. Every animal that has lived since then has been a variation on one of the themes that emerged during this time. Prototypes for every animal body plan rapidly emerged, from sea snails to starfish, from insects to crustaceans. Soon afterward, roughly 540 million years ago, animal life erupted, diversifying into a kaleidoscope of forms in what’s known as the Cambrian explosion. These complex multicellular creatures were the first animals, and they were a major success. ![]() They developed new ways for cells to communicate and share resources. They began to divide up the labor of life, so that some tissues were in charge of moving around, while others managed eating and digesting. Cells organized themselves into new three-dimensional structures. * Original story reprinted with permission from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent division of whose mission is to enhance public understanding of science by covering research developments and trends in mathematics and the physical and life sciences.*Then, more than 3 billion years after the appearance of microbes, life got more complicated.
