PEMDAS - Special Year-End Edition - Albums

I love end of year lists because I like consensus, rankings and numbers. But consensus is all based on who gets to rank, and the people who get the most access to major publication rankings are white men, so the numbers are tainted by white supremacy, misogyny, and many other forms of bigotry.

Which makes it even more interesting to see what gets ranked where.

Here’s a Google Sheet I made of all the lists and I created a formula that basically measures how many times an album placed on a list as well as how high it placed on that list. I’m going to keep updating this list as it’s not done, but it’s fun to play around with right now!

According to my formula and the critics, the top 10 albums of 2020 (in order) are:

#1: Fetch the Bolt Cutters •• Fiona Apple

#2: RTJ4 •• Run the Jewels

#3: folklore •• Taylor Swift

#4: Future Nostalgia •• Dua Lipa

#5: Punisher •• Phoebe Bridgers

#6: Set My Heart on Fire Immediately •• Perfume Genius

#7: Saint Cloud •• Waxahatchee

#8: Heaven to a Tortured Mind •• Yves Tumor

#9: Women in Music Pt. III •• HAIM

#10: Rough and Rowdy Ways •• Bob Dylan

I also have a fun, unranked albums list brewing. I’ll release that at the very end of the year.

The trimurti in Hinduism is sometimes referred to by HIndus as the trinity of the Hindus. But the trimurti also becomes a quaternity in Hinduism. I have seen different examples for the transcendent fourth. I have read a book that described that the trimurti was a quaternity when the Mother Goddess was added. Another example is, those who worship Surya, the Sun God, see Surya as the transcendent fourth part of the trimurti. For the Surya worshippers, Surya encompasses the previous three deities in the trimurti. They say that the other three Gods are manifestations of Surya

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimurti

The Quaternity for Surya worshippers in relation to the Hindu trimurti

Surya is Brahma in the morning

Surya is Shiva in the evening

Surya is Vishnu in the afternoon

Surya

There are four hindu sampradayas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampradaya

Sri Devi Lakshmi Sampradaya

Rudra

Brahma

Four Kumaras

Originally the vedas were considered the triple vedas. A fourth veda however was added.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas

Rigveda

Samaveda

Yajurveda

Atharveda

Each veda has four major text types

Samhitas

Brahmanas

Aranyakas

Upasanas

There are 16 stages of life in Hinduism. These are the 16 Samskaras. http://www.vmission.org.in/hinduism/samskaras.htm

Indologist Jan Gonda has identified 16 steps (shodasha upachara) that are common in all varieties of puja:[27]

Avahana (“invocation”). The deity is invited to the ceremony from the heart.

Asana. The deity is offered a seat.

Padya. The deity’s feet are symbolically washed.

Water is offered for washing the head and body

Arghya. Water is offered so the deity may wash its mouth.

Snana or abhisekha. Water is offered for symbolic bathing.

Vastra (“clothing”). Here a cloth may be wrapped around the image and ornaments affixed to it.

Upaveeda or Mangalsutra. Putting on the sacred thread.

Anulepana or gandha. Perfumes and ointments are applied to the image. Sandalwood paste or kumkum is applied.

Pushpa. Flowers are offered before the image, or garlands draped around its neck.

Dhupa. Incense is burned before the image.

Dipa or Aarti. A burning lamp is waved in front of the image.

Naivedya. Foods such as cooked rice, fruit, clarified butter, sugar, and betel leaf are offered.

Namaskara or pranama. The worshipper and family bow or prostrate themselves before the image to offer homage.

Parikrama or Pradakshina. Circumambulation around the deity.

Taking leave

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puja_(Hinduism)

There are 16 stages of Puja in hinduism.

There are four major denominations of Hinduism

Vaishnavism

Shaktism

Shaivism

Smartism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_denominations

Panchayatana puja is the form of Puja in the transcendent fourth denomination Smartism. A quincunx is a cross/X made of five parts. The deities in Smartism are worshipped in the form of a quincunx.

The Ramayana

The marriage of the four sons of Dasharatha with the four daughters of Siradhvaja and Kushadhvaja Janakas. Rama and Sita, Laskhmana and Urmila, Bharata and Mandavi and Shatrughna with Shrutakirti.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana

The Ramayana describes the fourfold incarnation of God through Ram and his three brothers- the four sons of Dasharatha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmana

The birth of Four Sons of Dasharatha is depicted below

The Hare Krishna mantra is 16 words in a four by four quadrant model grid. The Hare Krishna teach that the mantra is God Himself. The 16 square quadrant model is the Form of Being

The Hare Krishna mantra is a quatrain

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Krishna_(mantra)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Tandava_Stotram

Quatrains have four lines. The Shiva Tandava Stotram is composed of quatrains. Each line in the quatrain has 16 syllables There are 16 squares in the quadrant model. The hymn is said to have been created by Ravana. Ravana stole Sita from Ram in the Ramayana.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaupai_(poetry)

Chaupai is a quatrain verse that uses a metre of four syllables. Quatrain is four lines. The syllable count of chaupais are 16/16. There are 16 squares in the quadrant model.

There are 40 famous chaupais. Again there is the repetition of four.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman_Chalisa

The Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses. Chalisa means forty in Hindi. Again, there is the repetition of fours

The introductory dohas of the Hanuman Chalisa talks about “the four fruits” of Ram. The Gita press interprets the four fruits as the four purusarthas.

The first three are worldly. They were described in the Vedas. The Upanishads added the transcendent fourth, Moksha.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puruṣārtha

Dharma

Kama

Artha

Moksha

The Ganesha Shodashi is 16 forms of Ganesha in a quadrant model pattern. The Ganeshas are in a four by four pattern. The Ganesha Shodashi is the most popular form through which Ganesha is worshipped. Ganesha is said to represent the Aum, and be shaped like the Aum. I described that the Aum is the fourfold sound.

The physical form of Ganesha is related to the Om. The Om is the fourfold sound. The upper curve of the Aum is the face of Ganesha. The lower curve is the belly. The twisted curve on the right side of the Om is the trunk.

The four states of consciousness in Hinduism

http://articles.nithyananda.org/2012/06/intensity-and-the-four-states-of-consciousness/

http://yogananda.com.au/g/g_turiya.html

In Hinduism there is three regular yogas and a fourth transcendent yoga. Swami Vivekananda articulated that there are four main paths of yoga

http://yogananda.com.au/g/g_turiya.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Yogas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga_of_Synthesis

Karma Yoga or the Path of Action (karma)

Gyan Yoga or the Path of Knowledge (Gyan)

Bhakti Yoga or the Path of Devotion (bhakti) to Ishvar (God)

The fourth different yoga is Raj yoga

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are very famous. I watched lectures on them a long time ago on the internet. They are composed of four parts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga_Sutras_of_Patanjali

Samadhi Pada

Vibhuti Pada

Sadhana Pada

Kaivalya Pada

The Brahma Sutras are four chapters each divided into four parts. The 16 parts are a quadrant model pattern.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma_Sutras

According to the Upanishads the self has 16 parts.

“Lastly, Sukesa approached the sage and said: ‘Holy sir, Hiranyanabha, prince of Kosala, once asked me this question: “��Sukesa, do you know the Self and his sixteen parts?”” I replied, ““I do not. Surely, if I had known them, I should have taught them to you. I will not lie, for he who lies perishes, root and all.”” The prince silently mounted his chariot and went away. So now I ask of thee, Where is the Self?’” (Prashna Upanishad 6:1).

https://msu.edu/~puhek/miem/Upanishads.html

Shankara recognized 16 authentic upanishads. There are 16 squares in the quadrant model.

There are four stages of life in Hinduism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashrama_(stage)

Bramacharya- focused on education. The first square is related to the idealist temperament. Idealists are mental and concerned with education. 0-24

Vanaprastha- 48- 72. This is the retirement stage. The individual is now less concerned with the family and more with preparing for Moksha. The artisan temperament is related with the third stage. The artisan is more of an individual and less concerned with community and family

Grihastha- the Grihastha stage is concerned with family and married life. The second square is related to homeostasis and relationships 24-48

Sannyasa 72 plus. The person has renounced the world and is focused on Moksha. The fourth square temperament is the rational temperament. The Rational is focused on seeking the Truth.

There are four Adi Shakti Pithas. They are said to be the four major parts of Devi Sati’s body. They are

Puri, Odisha (inside Jagannath Templecomplex)

Guwahati, Assam

There are four major Advaita Mathas. Each of the four is related to one of the four Great Sayings of the vedas

Padmapāda

Hastāmalakācārya

Sureśvara

Toṭakācārya

The four great sayings of Hinduism are

prajñānam brahma - "Prajñāna[note 1] is Brahman"[note 2], or "Brahman is Prajñāna"[web 3] (Aitareya Upanishad 3.3 of the Rig Veda)

tat tvam asi - "Thou art That" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 of the Sama Veda)

ayam ātmā brahma - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman" (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2 of the Atharva Veda)

aham brahmāsmi - "I am Brahman", or "I am Divine"[7](Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda)

Aurobindo is a famous Hindu sage. He was thought by many to be an avatar of Krishna. He also is worshipped with the Divine Mother. The woman who he is worshipped with was thought to have been an avatar of Laxmi. He said that there were four beings involved in creation. They are

According to many Hindus, like the Hare Krishna, Krishna originally had two quadruple expansions. According to these Hindus, Krishna is the supreme God. The two quadruple expansions are similar to the gnostic notion that in the beginning was two tetrads.

https://www.facebook.com/Knowyourgod/posts/501900056583733:0

First quadruple expansion

Karanadakashayi Vishnu [Maha-Vishnu]

Kshirodakashayi Vishnu [the Supersoul in each individual]

Garbhodakashayi Vishnu [the expansion in each universe]

Sesha, also called Seshanaga

These four create the material cosmic manifestation.

Krishna then expands himself into four forms. These four forms experience pastimes in Vrindavan. When studying Hare Krishna I would watch cartoons on the pastimes of Krishna. The cartoons consisted of these four characters, who are four forms of Krishna.

Pradyumna

Balarama

Aniruddha

According to Hindus like the Hare Krishna, four verses sum up the Bhagavatam.

The renowned isckon temple of Delhi is divided into four sections

Lord Caitanya had four disciples. Caitanya was seen as an incarnation of Krishna. Often Caitanya is depicted cruciform, with his arms raised, and with his four disciples, two on each side.

The Char Dham are four holy pilgrimage sites in Hinduism. They are mentioned in the Mahabarata

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_Dham

Badrinath

Puri

Dwarka

Rameswaram

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_Dham

The four pilgrimage sites above are for Vishnu. Shiva also has four pilgrimage sites associated with him.

The Vedic Priesthood consists of 16 members in four groups of four. Four groups of four is the quadrant model. The 16 members are four chief priests and their assistants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_priesthood

The hotṛ was the reciter of invocations and litanies. These could consist of single verses (ṛca), strophes (triples called tṛca or pairs called pragātha), or entire hymns (sukta), drawn from the ṛgveda. As each phase of the ritual required an invocation, the hotṛ had a leading or presiding role.[citation needed]

The udgātṛ was a chanter of hymns set to melodies (sāman) drawn from the sāmaveda. This was a specialized role in the major soma sacrifices: a characteristic function of the udgātṛ was to sing hymns in praise of the invigorating properties of soma pavamāna, the freshly pressed juice of the soma plant.[citation needed]

The adhvaryu was in charge of the physical details of the sacrifice (in particular the adhvara, a term for the Somayajna). According to Monier-Williams, the adhvaryu "had to measure the ground, to build the altar, to prepare the sacrificial vessels, to fetch wood and water, to light the fire, to bring the animal and immolate it," among other duties.[citation needed] Each action was accompanied by supplicative or benedictive formulas (yajus), drawn from the yajurveda. Over time, the role of the adhvaryugrew in importance, and many verses of the ṛgveda were incorporated, either intact or adapted, into the texts of the yajurveda.[citation needed]

The brahman was the reciter of hymns from the atharvaveda who was largely silent and observes the procedures and uses Atharvaveda mantras to 'heal' it when mistakes have been made.

With the hotṛ:

the maitrāvaruna

the acchāvāka

the grāvastut (praising the Soma stones)

With the udgātṛ:

the prastotṛ (who chants the Prastâva)

the pratihartṛ ("averter")

the subrahmanya

With the adhvaryu:

the pratiprasthātṛ

the neṣṭṛ

the unnetṛ (who pours the Soma juice into the receptacles )

With the brahman:

the brāhmanācchamsin

the agnīdh (priest who kindles the sacred fire)

the potṛ ("purifier")

The Hindus have a four caste system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_system_in_India

Brahmins (priestly people)- mental. The first square is mental and good.

Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, tradesmen and farmers)- These are the doers.

Kshatriyas (also called Rajanyas, who were rulers, administrators and warriors). Homeostasis. The second square maintains order and structure. Rulers and administrators organize and order. Warriors protect.

Shudras (labouring classes).

The fourth caste was seen as different

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/twice-born

The three upper orders were “distinguished from the shudras”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvija

The Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, and the Vishyas are considered “twice born” but the shudras are not.

http://eighttwosix.blogspot.com/2010/03/indias-caste-system-socially-useful.html

Again the quadrant pattern in the caste system is fulfilled in that the first three castes are different from the fourth. Hindus say that they have a four caste system. There is a fifth element that is so different that it is not even really considered a caste. The fifth is always questionable and ultra transcendent. I described how Empedocles said that fire is the fourth different element. But fire still associates with air, water and Earth. The fifth, ultra transcendent element, aether, does not even interact with the first four. It is not even connected. The same holds true for the untouchables.

Ramakrishna had a teaching about four wise men and an elephant. The four wise men touched different parts of the elephant, and thought the elephant was the aspect they touched. Ramakrishna says that religion is like the elephant, and different religions understand a different part of the whole

One touched the leg of the elephant, and said, "The elephant is like a pillar."

The third touched the belly, and said, "The elephant is like a big jar."

The second touched the trunk, and said, "The elephant is like a thick stick or club."

The fourth touched the ears, and said, "The elephant is like a winnowing basket."

I have spoken to Hindus, and researched the chakras, and they are a four plus three pattern. The first four are different form the next three.

The four petals are said to represent the four elements. The four petals are also thought to represent the four vrittis

greatest joy

delight in controlling passion

natural pleasure

blissfulness in concentration

The four petals are also thought to represent the four goals of a Hindu, dharma (psycho-spiritual longing), artha (psychic longing), kama (physical longing) and moksha (longing for spiritual liberation.

The Vishuddha chakra is the fifth chakra. The chakra has 16 petals.

Square breathing involves inhaling for four seconds, holding for four seconds, exhaling for four seconds, and then holding the breath out for four seconds and continuing. I attended a meditation event where the instructor had the class do square breathing some time last year. I did not even realize that what we were doing was quadrant oriented, until I looked it up afterwards and realized that the four components of the breath was a quadrant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtakam

The stanzas in an "ashtakam" are a rhyming quartet with four lines, i.e. end lines rhyme as a-a-a-a. Thus, in an ashtakam generally thirty-two lines are maintained. All these stanzas follow a strict rhyme scheme. The proper rhyme scheme for an astakam is: a-a-a-a/b-b-b-b….. (/ represents a new stanza).

The conventions associated with the ashtakam have evolved over its literary history of more than 2500 years. One of the best known ashtakam writers was Adi Sankaracharya, who created an ashtakam cycle with a group of ashtakams, arranged to address a particular deity, and designed to be read both as a collection of fully realized individual poems and as a single poetic work comprising all the individual ashtakams. He wrote more than thirty astakams in stuti [dedication] to various deities.

64 is four 16s.

The 8x8 (64) grid Manduka Hindu Temple Floor Plan, according to Vastupurusamandala. The 64 grid is the most sacred and common Hindu temple template. The bright saffron center, where diagonals intersect above, represents the Purusha of Hindu philosophy.[4][33]

The Brahma Padas, in the center, is a quadrant. There are four padas, the Brahma, the Devika, the Manusha, and the Paisachika.

The 9x9 layout still has four padas, but it extends the Brahma Padas.

The 9x9 (81) grid ‘’Parama Sayika’’ layout plan (above) found in large ceremonial Hindu Temples.

Agni, the God of fire in Hinduism, was associated with the swastika. When making a fire people use firesticks, and the sticks make a cross.

King Vajra then had 16 idols of Krishna and other gods carved from a rare, imperishable stone called Braja and built temples to house these idols in and around Mathura so as to feel the presence of Lord Krishna. The four presiding idols of Braja Mandala are Sri Harideva of Govardhan, Sri Keshava Deva of Mathura, Sri Baladeva of Baladeo, and Govindaji of Vrindavan. There are two Naths—Sri Nathji, who were originally at Govardhan and are now in Nathdwara, Rajasthan and Sri Gopinath, who is now in Jaipur. The two Gopals are Sri Madana Mohan, who is now housed at Karoli Rajasthan, and Sakshi Gopal, who is now moved to town of Sakshi Gopal, Orissa, near Puri. There are 16 squares in the quadrant model.

The show Information Please would have a transcendent fourth guest panelist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Please

Panel regulars included writer-actor-pianist Oscar Levant and newspaper columnists and renowned wits and intellectuals Franklin P. Adams and John Kieran. All the panelists were well-versed in a wide range of topics, though each had a specialty. Music and filmquestions were often addressed to Levant. Adams was well known for his mastery of poetry, popular culture and Gilbert and Sullivan. Kieran was an expert in natural history, sports and literature. A typical question would have three or four parts and would require the panelists to get a majority of the questions right, lest they lose the prize money.

The show would always have a fourth guest panelist, usually either a celebrity, a politician or writer. Guest panelists included Fred Allen, Leonard Bernstein, Boris Karloff, Clare Boothe Luce, Dorothy Parker, S. J. Perelman, Sigmund Spaeth, Rex Stout, Jan Struther, Deems Taylor, Jackie Robinson, Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Ruth Gordon, Orson Welles, Basil Rathboneand a very young Myron "Mike" Wallace.

A variation of Information Please, this time a program devoted exclusively to music with the same four-member panel format, became popular when it was televised in Los Angeles in 1953. After two years of local success, Musical Chairs became a summer replacement series on NBC Television. The Bill Leyden-hosted game show lasted eleven weeks on the national airwaves.

VASTU SHASTRA has HINDUS ORGANIZE THE HOUSE around THE FOUR ELEMENTS

http://www.vaastu-shastra.com/bring-energy-balance-elements.html

http://www.vaastu-shastra.com/ngif/five-elements.gif

To relive the blocked energies, centre of existence need to be balanced for well-being and better life. Our living place consists of five elements. Space which is the most important of all the five elements.

Air is governing element of North-west corner while fire is assigned the South-east because of its aggressive nature. Water is an element of North-east and earth is assigned with South-west. Likewise the human body is a crafted frame having an order of five elements called chakras which is balanced by external elements. The elements of living place need to be balanced akin we balance body’s elements with external material such as food and meditation.

Vastu Energy Balance Imbalance of elements can be corrected by the most subtle & higher element- space while defects in native place can be balanced or rectified using Vastu tools like wind chimes, energy pyramid and crystals. These Vastu tools helps rectifying negative energies and try subtle the ambience with positive prana. Body prana can be instilled by correcting chakras that are responsible for our day to day functions. In such way external prana of cosmos or dwelling place have to make lively by creating balance with energy elements of Vastu.

A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, literally "circle") is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe.[1] In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.

The basic form of most mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the general shape of a T. Mandalas often exhibit radial balance.

Ragnar’s Keep Review

Recently I was approached by Ian Brockbank (who runs the blog Melestrua’s Musings) with a request to take a look at his published setting location Ragnar’s Keep, available on DriveThruRPG. Despite never having done a review like this before, we learn by doing and so I accepted the free copy he offered and I’m determined to give it as fair of a look as I can offer.

Ragnar’s keep is a 36 page document that details a fully realized and established location for low level adventurers to visit or interact with. It’s not designed as an adventure itself; while plot hooks are provided it doesn’t come with a specifically intended storyline or goal for players to approach. It is a setting location, written to be usable in a wide variety of ways, and to provide a map and location for GMs who are looking for some hard details to build off of. Ian specifically contrasts it to the more generic d100 plot hooks style design, offering up something that requires less improvisation and gives the GM a cast of characters with fully established character motivations, flaws, and relationships with one another and the location. This may limit the use of it in some ways if the specific dynamics don’t fit within the setting already planned, but aspects of it can be picked up or dropped as fits within a specific goal the GM has in mind. The material works for any “standard” fantasy setting based off of medieval Europe with magic, but the given mechanical rules are designed for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons.

The titular keep is a three and a half level fort with a basement, ground level, second story, and a half third story, along with some extra details in a path leading down to the nearby waterfront. Two different maps are provided for each castle level, one with grid and annotations and the other a detailed illustration created by Heroic Maps. The illustrations are simply gorgeous, and provide a wonderful and deeply immersive location on their own, and are available for purchase as a separate product on DriveThruRPG from the artists directly (link here). Every room is given a detailed description, and a cast of over 20 NPCs fill in all the major roles needed to keep the castle running (along with the castle’s own personal haunting ghost).

The keep and the country around it are given a 1 page backstory detailing how the lands came to be and the political situation it exists within. This information is very specific, creating and naming specific people, locations, gods and a loosely detailed empire that all come together and define many of the keep’s inhabitants and their relationships with one another, and while renaming these details is possible it does keep this from being able to be inserted into any setting without rewriting. The established setting relies heavily on colonial activity to set up tensions between different people, and this could be an aspect of the writing that creates the largest obstacle in using the keep as written. The empire of Thraesya and their goddess Tenesia invaded a formerly independent land by sea, conquering settlements and laying claim to the countryside for its rumored silver deposits and bountiful natural abundance. The native groups were subjugated and made vassals of the empire, but of course it was an unsustainable position as the expected riches were never found. Nearly 80 years after the invasion the empire handed the territory over to a young nobleman who titled himself Grand Duke, named the territory Melkantor and set about ruling it himself. The present day situation is the Grand Duke attempting to forge Melkantor into a unified country, and Ragnar’s Keep itself, overlooking the town Ragnarston and its important position in the only passable trading rout back from Melkantor to Thraesya.

The full description of the castle grounds and rooms takes up 12 pages, and goes into great detail. Every room gets at least a paragraph of description, listing any important details in the design and layout of the room along with its use. Specific inhabitants are described in how and when they may be found in this room. As the castle is meant to be usable for more than just an invasion based adventure, there is more detail on the daily schedule of non-combatants than I’ve typically seen for castles in premade adventure modules, which is useful for games where the characters may integrate themselves deeply into the castle’s life. While few groups will encounter many of these details, those that do will have plenty of fun little secrets and interesting bits of environmental storytelling to reward them. The options here allow a much greater depth of verisimilitude in a wide range of story opportunities, from infiltrating the keep as a member of the serving staff to entering as a guest of the lord or lady to fighting through the halls… either for or against the lord.

The castle is actually incredibly well stocked with magic items, giving a huge reward to groups who have motive to assault or rob it. From the lord’s +2 longsword to the cleric’s staff of healing, new magic items such as the scales of identification and the ring of clairvoyance, plus a large number of uncommon magic items and magic potions scattered among the important NPCs, magic equipment is quite prevalent. It’s enough to well stock a full adventuring party if they clear the place out thoroughly. It’s not necessarily a game breaker, since characters are only likely to gain these items if the GM sets up a reason for them to fight the entire castle, but if a low level group does have reason they’ll come out potentially quite far ahead of the curve, item wise. I do enjoy that one of the junior clerics has a cursed rapier though. He’s a thoroughly unlikable person, and the perfect target for such a thing.

The largest section of the PDF is actually the character roster. Twenty-three NPCs over 13 pages, it details every character who has a hand in running the castle, and those most likely to be relevant in a wide range of stories. The Lord and his family, the heads of the serving staff, captain of the guard, the assigned cleric and his students, the local bard, the castles ghost, and a number of other roles within the castle are detailed. Not every inhabitant is detailed, the regular guards, cooks, cleaning staff and such going unnamed and not even clearly counted. The GM has some leeway in deciding the numbers and composition of these groups, depending on the way they’re making use of the material (though the easiest way would be to just assume that every bed mentioned is filled). The characters that are detailed though cover a wide range of different archetypes and personalities, allowing plenty of opportunities for interesting role playing. Characters could make friends or enemies out of many of the different characters, and several have very forward present story hooks to take advantage of, from the local bard who wants to attract the Lady’s attention, to the wererat butler with a history of theft, to the maid who was aged thirty years by the castle ghost. Most NPCs get unique stat blocks, many built using PC classes, though a number are functionally similar enough that they may have simply pulled from the same one. There’s three level 4 fighters whose stats mostly only differ in a few small ways that don’t necessarily benefit greatly from the space spent on different stat blocks. In this case, the method used in a lot of adventures of taking a more generic stat block and indicating the differences in the text may have been more useful, especially if the text and the generic stat block are kept on the same page.

The plot hooks provided are all solid enough to work off of, mostly positioning the keep as a neutral or friendly force to the players to function around. It could be a home base for the group, a location to collect missions to defend the pass or surrounding countryside, or simply a place that exists nearby and rarely directly influences the characters. Of course, the keep could pose a threat to the group, either if they stand against the colonizing force of the region or other reasons. Breaking in or laying siege to it could be a climactic set piece to a lower level adventure. There’s a few character based plotlines that can function well if the group establishes a notable enough presence within the keep as well.

Two new magic items round out the document, and look fine to me. I will admit, magic item power levels are one part of 5th edition where I have nearly given up attempting to understand the balance of it, but the provided ones are fun, flavorful and interesting to work with. Neither is particularly powerful for a rare item, instead providing information in some capacity. The ring of clairvoyance, well, allows the user to cast clairvoyance at will, though each use after the first in a given day forces a saving throw against exhaustion, and the scales of identification are a weaker 3/day identify spell. A group without access to the spell would definitely appreciate having the scales, even with the weaknesses it has built in.

Overall, I think the castle itself is fantastic. The design is good and the rooms and areas within it have plenty of potential to explore in a wide range of stories and situations. The characters are detailed and many are interesting, with plot hooks easy to build off of the major ones. Where I personally have trouble is with the backstory, and the way that plays onto the NPCs. To put it simply, I have a lot of trouble with using colonial stories within my games, and I do not feel that the material provided gives a strong enough weight to the implications it sets up with that narrative. This is, by my estimate, more meant to be an example of Roman colonization of Britain than Europe to America, but similar implications are still built into it. The colonizing force’s culture and religion are given far more relevance to the setting than the natives’, who exist mostly as scared and nameless servants. The prejudice of the lord and many of the keep’s inhabitants are the driving force of much of their characterization, and the few native characters who are given real merit and weight in the castle are those who have assimilated into the dominant culture or literally died to it. I don’t know if this was intentional as well, but all named native characters are women. Just a weird fact that caught my attention.

Having these narratives in a game is not bad entirely in and of itself. Many people want to examine these stories, whether to overcome that aspect of history or as part of building a world that mirrors our own. But it requires a lot of careful consideration to use them without being harmful towards people who still live under the results of colonization. I am not the best person to make the decision of what is and isn’t good use of these narratives. And so, I personally choose to largely avoid them, along with other examples of real world oppression, unless actually directed there by a member of such a group who wants to explore it in a game I’m running. This means that a large portion of the implied background of this environment and a big part of the character motivations and relationships do not fit within a situation I would use. I feel the specific background set in place by the keep would exclude it from my game, but I would absolutely use the map with a different background.

I don’t have a number out of 10 to give this product, as I feel there are some very strong elements within it that keep me from being able to define it so clearly. There is a lot to enjoy with it, from the artwork to the well realized characters to the excellent design of the castle itself. If you are just looking for a good castle map with detailed interior descriptions and at the minimum a good starting point for the inhabitants, it fills that perfectly. I think beyond that it’s up to you to decide whether the backstory elements that bothered me are a breaking point for you as well. If you are interested in checking out Ian’s work, you can purchase it here, which will get you $2 off of the standard price. This link is valid until the end of 2019, so you have two and a half months to act on this deal.

Top Ten: Paris

April in Paris

Next week, after the holidays are well and truly over, I will be publishing my annual survey of the Top Ten Stories in the World of D&O for 2018. In the meantime, during the holidays, I have been posting a series of alternative Top Ten lists. Yesterday, I posted my list of top ten things to see and do in London. Today, I am publishing my list of the top ten things to see and do in my all-time favorite city, Paris.

I have been to Paris many times and have strong views about the place, as my list below reflects. There are also a number of obvious omissions from the list below, as well. Most first time visitors to the city know they want to see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, Sacré-Cœur, and the Arc de Triomphe. Every first time visitor to Paris should definitely see all of these sites. Just the same, I have left these top destinations off of my list, to make room for some other destinations that might or might not make their way on to visitors’ itineraries. I have set out my list below. Please also see the additional top ten list below, as well.

10. Place des Voges: An atmospheric square located in the Marais district and built in the early 17th century, this beautiful brick residential development built along harmonious and uniform lines is now a quiet retreat. On a sunny day, it is great just to visit the Place and to stroll around the square or to take in the atmosphere on one of the benches, and then afterwards leave the square by the southern archway and walk down to the Rue Saint-Antoine enjoy one of the many sidewalk cafés along the way.

9. Le Grande Epicerie: The Grand Epicerie is a food emporium adjacent to the famous Le Bon Marché department store. The grocery store has several floors of gourmet foods and beverages. The place is frankly a little bit dazzling but it is a lot of fun just to walk around in and to look around. There are several dining counters in the store where you can sample a wide variety of foods, but the best thing to is select an array of foods to take away, and then to enjoy a picnic meal in the Square Boucicaut, in front of the department store’s main entrance.

8. Fondation Louis Vuitton: The Fondation is one of the newest museums in Paris. The modern art exhibits in the museum change all of the time, but in any event the real reason to visit the museum is to see its dramatic exterior and fascinating interior design. The beautiful building was designed by famous architect Frank Geary. It is also beautifully situated within the Bois de Boulogne. There are a number of terraces within the museum affording views of the park and the city. An interesting place to visit.

7. Buttes Chaumont: In far northeastern Paris, far off of the tourist grid, is the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, a huge park with a manmade lake, a picturesque temple perched on steep hilltop, and a series of wide promenades. The lake was built on the site of a former gypsum quarry. A stone grotto with a waterfall adjoins the lake. For someone interested in seeing a different part of the city, this park is a great place for strolling and on a sunny day for people watching.

6. Village St-Paul: In the middle of the Marais district and just off of Rue Saint-Antoine, behind the St. Paul church, is a quiet, hidden district of narrow streets and alleyways. The area has the feel of a small rural village. It is full of antique shops and of small cafés and restaurants. This quiet area is a very special secret place, only steps away from a busy avenue but entirely off of the tourist grid. Don’t tell anybody else about this place, it will just be our little secret.

5. Île Saint-Louis: At some point, most visitors to Paris make their way to the Notre Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité. Not many visitors cross over the footbridge behind Notre Dame leading to the adjacent island, the Île Saint-Louis. The smaller island is only a few steps away but it might as well be in a different city. By contrast to the busy, tourist-crowded streets around Notre Dame, the streets on Île Saint-Louis are calm and quiet. The island is a great place for a leisurely lunch after touring around Notre Dame, or anytime you want a quiet meal away from the crowd. The residential streets are beautiful and the walkways along the waterside afford great views of the river, of Notre Dame, and of the city nearby.

4. Saint-Germain-des-Prés: Notre Dame is more famous, but the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the Left Bank is older and more atmospheric. There often are concerts in the old church, and if you are willing to attend a service in French, it is a great place to take in a mass on Sunday morning. Across the square from the main entrance to the church is the famous Les Deux Magots café, whose famous patrons have included Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Pablo Picasso, and James Joyce. After a beverage at the café, stroll around the neighborhood and along the Boulevard Saint-Germain, it is one of the great districts in the city.

3. Canal Saint-Martin: The Canal Saint-Martin is part of the series of canals linking Paris to distant rivers bringing freshwater to the city. The Canal remains a working canal. A series of locks allow barges to make their way down to the Seine River. Walkways line the canal and bridges cross back and forth, affording great viewpoints from which to watch barges make their way through the locks. The Canal is not far from the Marais but just the same it is pretty much completely off of the tourist grid. On a sunny day the Canal is about as special of a place to stroll as there is in all of the city.

2. Rue Mouffetard: The Rue Mouffetard is a very special street away the busier environs of the Latin Quarter. At the northern end of the street at the top of Mont Sainte-Geneviève is the Place de la Contrescarpe, a large quiet square ringed with cafes and brasseries that has something of a small village feel. The Rue Mouffetard itself �� which is lined with small shops selling wine, cheese, tea, clothing and books – has rolled downhill toward the south since the Roman era. The area is also now laced with student bars, including one called (I am not making this up) “Student Bar.” A great way to end an afternoon in Paris is to stroll down to the bottom of the Rue Mouffetard and then back up the hill for a cool beverage at a sidewalk café in the Place de la Contrescarpe. (The Place made my list of the ten great places to have a beer.)

1. Jardin du Luxembourg: Paris is a great city full of beautiful places to visit, but in the entire city, as far as I am concerned, the most beautiful and the one most worth seeing is the Jardin du Luxembourg. The Jardin made my previously published list of top urban parks – but it is more than that. It is the place that most embodies the spirit of the city. The most essential Parisian spirits inhabit the gardens, where romantic couples slowly promenade and little children sailing their boats in the central fountain shout happily “Regardez, Maman! Regardez!” There is no better place anywhere for a stroll, to enjoy the view, to take in the air, to walk the many others enjoying the atmosphere, to feel fortunate that you have been able to travel to Paris, just to see and walk in the Jardin.

A Picture Gallery: I admit that more than once I have made wise-cracks about people who post pictures of their food on social media. Over time, these kinds of remarks have turned me into a hypocrite, because the fact is that over time I have posted lots of pictures of food in various travel posts. Sometimes, food is an interesting and even an important part of the experience in some travel locations. I have taken lots of pictures of my meals as I have traveled around. Here are some of my favorites below.

Uma feijoada, in São Paulo, Brazil (the traditional black bean and pork stew — in this picture, the beans are in the ceramic bowl).

A traditional meal of Tatties, Neeps, and Haggis ( potatoes, turnips, and haggis), in a pub in Edinburgh

When I travel alone in Germany, I often have trouble with the menu. No matter what I order, I wind up with breaded pork cutlets. In a lunch restaurant in Frankfurt, I decided to ask the waiter what he recommended. He suggested the daily special; I said OK. When it arrived, it was a big sausage on a pile of green mush, with some potatoes. Next time, the pork cutlet.

In fairness, I have had some enjoyable meals in Germany. This tasty (albeit heavy) meal of turkey ham, scalloped potatoes, sausage, and salad was at the Gröninger Privatbrauerei in Hamburg Aldstadt.

There are a lot of great reasons to visit Mumbai, but among the best reasons is the amazing food. Here’s a picture of one of my breakfasts, a serving of Uttapam (a rice batter pancake with a variety of cooked-in ingredients and a number of accompanying relishes and spices).

Smoked salmon and champagne at the Oyster Bar in the Food Hall at Harrod’s in London

A Bibimbap at a small family restaurant in Seoul. (That is, a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul, gochujang, and soy sauce, with a fried egg on top).

At a shabu-shabu restaurant in Tokyo (the name shabu-shabu is onomatopoeic and refers to the sound made when the beef and vegetables are swished back in forth in the pot of boiling water).

An octopus at a fado club in Lisbon. (Yes, I ate the whole thing).

This is a picture taken at a wonderful dinner at my good friend Aruno Rajaratnam’s house in Singapore. The menu included brown basmati rice with ghee and lemongrass; lentils with thavasi, long beans, and broccoli; chicken marinated with ground herbs and spices; prawns cooked with red chilies and tomato chutney; cabbage cooked with turmeric and herbs; and cucumber salad with yogurt spiced dressing.. Many of the herbs and spices were from Aruno’s garden.
