20th Century History books General thread 14/11/06(Thu)03:32 No. 17352 Board: /lit/ [Reply]

Note: I apologize if the "attention grabbing" picture in this post offends anybody, I will explain why I used this picture at the bottom of this post.

This is a thread for books and (youtube) videos on the history of the 20th century, focusing especially on the period of chaos and world-wide warfare that started with the Russo-Japanese war in 1904 and ended with the fall of Communism and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact in 1991.

I would like the focus of this thread to be on what professional historians call "Primary Source Documents", which means the books were written by people who were actually there and were actually involved in what was happening at the time. So good examples of the kind of books I'm looking for are:

(1) A book on World War 1 or World War 2, written by an actual general or soldier who fought in WW1 or WW2 (ideally explaining things such as the cause of the war, why they were fighting, etc).

(2) A book on a political doctrine written by the founder of the doctrine (i.e. a book on Stalinism written by Stalin, a book on Fascism written by Mussolini, a book on National Socialism written by an actual German Nazi, etc. etc.).

(3) If the book isn't a primary source document itself, then its ok as long as the book has lots of scholarly footnotes and citations that can lead you to other primary source documents.

The book in the picture in this post is a book on economics that was written in 1919 by German economist Gottfried Feder, see:

Ok, attached to this post is an actual pdf of the book by Gottfried Feder that was alluded to in my first post (like I said before, I think reading this book is key to understanding the causes of World War 2).

This pdf book used to be hosted on archive.org but I think Hasbara attempted to take this book offline to censor it, and I am against the censorship of books (regardless whether the author was George Orwell, Gottfried Feder, or anybody else).

So I have attached a pdf of the Gottfried Feder book on "Breaking Debt Interest Slavery" to this post. More primary source documents on 20th century history (maybe some books on Marxism or Communism or American style liberal democracy and capitalism) will probably be uploaded in this thread later.

Advice on traveler Anonymous 18/03/21(Wed)10:23 No. 131219 Board: /tg/ [Reply]

Me and my playgroup are interested in trying out traveler, however we are also rather new to the system and know very little about it. I know the publishing history and looked into it, and I know that midway through the life cycle of "the new era" GDW went under so it is less complete then either classic or mega traveler; as well, from what I understand, if you wish to use the default setting in classic traveler you have to read a lot of the supplements and JTAS articles given that a lot of it was made ad-hoc while other editions are betting about letting you play in the setting out of the box. Beyond this I don't really know that much.

I would like to know a few things before I decide which edition we use:

1) Is there any edition I absolute must avoid like the plague

2) How difficult is classic for players not used to classic RPGs

3) How different is each GDW edition from each other in terms of mechanics

4)How is the mongoose publishing version

5)How is the far future enterprise version

6)Are some editions better for space combat and are some better for more conventional combat

So yes, if your group can only deal with d&d, then you could try the Traveller 20 (T20) version which I hear is quite popular. It's based on d20 Modern and has a number of supplements for it. I've never played it as I loathe d20, but I have heard good things.

Personally, I'm a Classic, Mongose, GURPS and HERO version player myself. ;-)

There's a source (or trove) of 5e books art in a good resolution to be used for cards, modules, etc?
Looking for Races and Classes, and at least the common, low level monsters....

Thanks

What are the thoughts on distributism here? Distributism is the ideology of decentralizing the means of production. Originally it was "3 acres and a cow" but has since evolved into "3d printers and a house"

Askin for suggestion: the simplest medieval fantasy rpg system for childre Anonymous 17/04/11(Tue)01:37 No. 120704 Board: /tg/ [Reply]

As per title.
I wanted to introduce a group of 6 to 8 yo kids to classic medieval fantasy rpg, but I need a system that is very, very rule-light.
Pathfinder Beginner Box is already far over the top, I'd like something that gives them a minimum of customization and just requires them to add simple bonuses to their rolls.
Any suggestion?
And of course, if anyone knows of any system that is not only rule-light, but specifically designed for children, that would be even better.

All Outta Bubblegum or Honey Heist could work, both are simple systems. I have run Honey Heist and it can easily be modified for almost any thing.

Golden Sky Stories:

Kickstarter delivered long ago, now on sale on drivethrurpg.
Original peculiar system, focused on story rather than XPs, looks pretty cute and is made mainly for children. Never played it, but looks like it could fit OP's needs.
