A psychological civil war is brewing, tearing through families and friendships as belief clashes with non-belief. In today's hyper-polarised climate, evangelicalism and right-wing extremism are often seen as one and the same, intensifying the divide. Believers perceive any departure from religious tradition as a personal affront, while non-believers fear their fundamental human rights are at the mercy of the religious majority. How do you navigate such a taboo topic when the stakes feel impossibly high?Gospel of Lies fearlessly confronts these critical issues head-on. This book offers a direct, no-nonsense guide to responding to the full spectrum of Christian rhetoric, from the seemingly innocent 'How can you not believe in a god when you see the world around you?' to the fiery condemnation of 'You'll regret this when you're burning in hell.'Beyond the debates, Gospel of Lies compassionately addresses the profound trauma that religion and early indoctrination can inflict. It acknowledges the lingering fears and anxieties that often persist long after faith has faded. Through eight incisive chapters, this book delves into specific doctrines, religious practices, and the author's personal experiences, providing practical responses and empowering insights.Arm yourself with the knowledge to confidently answer apologetics-based questions, navigate challenging family conversations about non-belief, and find validation in your courageous pursuit of truth and skepticism over blind faith.

While the Harry Potter series may follow the journey of the Boy Who Lived, if you want to know the whole story, keep your eyes fixed on Severus Snape. This greasy-haired, grumpy genius, one of J.K. Rowling’s most enduring gifts to English literature, is the archetypal ill-tempered teacher: demanding, acerbic, and impossible to ignore. Over the span of seven novels, Snape’s remarkable role in the series can be hard to parse: Where do his true allegiances lie? Can a former Death Eater change his spots? Why does he seem to loathe the boy he’s pledged to protect?Taking an analytical approach to Hogwarts’s irascible, protective Potions professor, author Lorrie Kim presents a closer look at how Dumbledore’s double agent operates behind the scenes throughout the Harry Potter series. By examining the story from Snape’s point of view, this in-depth exploration pierces the defenses of the wizarding world’s famed Occlumens, revealing the man for who he truly is: one of pop culture’s most memorable heroes.

Traditional TTRPGs have almost always relied on player reactions in order to function. In other words, there is an evil wizard out to take over the world. The player characters are good, therefore it’s their duty to stop the wizard. Game play then follows a traditional storytelling narrative of protagonists working to return their world back to the status quo. Bad guy makes a move, good guys move to stop him. They react to the situation the Game Master (GM) presents. This limited style of gameplay can grow tiresome and redundant and places almost the entire burden of game creation on the GM. That's where proactive roleplaying comes in.With proactive roleplaying, GMs give over the narrative to the players. They imbue their characters with goals and desires, wants and needs, and then let them make the decisions about how to achieve those things. It’s no longer up to the GM to provide the entertainment. The characters choose what to do to achieve their goals, and the GM is the one reacting to their choices. Every conflict and “adventure” a character goes on is in service to their goal, rather than the typical “random bad guy of the week” adventure.The Game Master’s Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying gives GMs and players all of the information they need to play their favorite 5E TTRPG in their favourite settings, while transforming their games from reactive and restrictive to proactive, unbounded, player-driven narratives.

For many tabletop RPG players, the joy of an in-depth game is that anything can happen. Typical adventure modules include a map of the adventure’s primary location, but every other location - whether it's a woodland clearing, a random apothecary or the depths of a temple players elect to explore - has to be improvised on the fly by the Game Master (GM). As every GM knows, no matter how many story hooks, maps or characters you painstakingly create in advance, your best-laid plans are often foiled by the outcome of an unexpected dice role or your players refusal to stay on task. In a game packed with infinite possibilities, what are GMs supposed to do when their players choose those for which they're not prepared?The Game Master’s Book of Random Encounters provides an unbeatable solution. This massive tome provides 100 maps and 300 tables for all types of encounters, from temples and taverns to ships, wizard's lairs and much more! Each entry includes original handdrawn maps and multiple tables designed to help GMs fill in the sights, sounds and possible encounters in each location. This allows GMs to start new adventures or enhance existing ones on the fly. No matter where your players end up, they'll have someone or something to persuade or deceive, impress or destroy. There are nearly three million possible adventure combinations in all - enough to delight players for hours on end.

The Game Master's Deck of Boons and Banes consists of 40 stunningly illustrated cards, 20 of which impose a bane of some sort on a character. A curse, for example, that constantly threatens to strangle a PC to death the more active they are. Or a blight that causes mold to grow over the PC’s skin in thick, stinking patches. The remaining 20 cards convey a boon of some sort - a blessing from a higher power or the magic that courses through the natural world. For example, the PC may be blessed with a pair of guardian wolves that travel with them wherever they go and fight on their behalf. Or they might even sprout giant dragonfly wings twice a day, enabling them to escape danger or travel long distances with ease.The exact composition of the deck players might choose to draw from is up to the GM, whether it be made up of all bane cards, all boon cards, an even mix of the two, or some randomly assigned ratio of good to bad. The boons are a great temptation - but drawing a bane could bring about a crippling result, so players will need to weigh the odds every time.The companion book includes a description of each card’s effect and how it impacts the PC who drew it. Within each entry, GMs will also find suggested side quests related to each care, as well as recommendations for scaling card effects up or down depending on the level of the characters drawing from the deck.
