I need to just be SuperDuper famous and just be SuperDuper phenomenal which you
are and you have great things to offer but she needs to do these three things
right here and that is number one research he needs to be researching
exactly what it is that your audience or your ideal clients are looking for to
help them move them from pain to pleasure you need to make sure that you
are you know going on YouTube and you're actually doing the keywords that they're
typing for instead of using the big words that you know that you're going to
be talking about in your business you need to be researching exactly what
it is that they might be you know struggling with I for instance if you
are a fitness coach and you're going in and you put in you know triceps or or or
whatever you need to be putting in the worst of the keywords that they might be
looking for us as such that's like you know sexy arms arm workouts uh you know
leg workouts you know further it's a flatter stomach workout you know most
people not gonna be putting you know triceps and biceps and abs and I don't
know the most of the simulator but you know I'm not a fitness person but it
just to give you a key and general idea of what you'd put in for your research
and stuff you're number two is your script yes I said it stripped you need
to be writing out your outline for your video so whatever you're gonna be
including in your videos you want to make sure you have your guideline points
so you won't miss it out on anything as far as if you're gonna be talking about
three steps to help get sexy our arms you need to be talking about those three
steps if we're gonna mention camp that you're
gonna be doing you want to make sure that you put that in your in your senior

that is going to be put in your video so you make sure you don't miss out
anything and then you gonna make a list of all your different grass your tech
slide your B rows and all that good stuff that you're going to be putting
into your videos and make sure that it's incorporated so everything comes
together nice and clean for your videos and lastly as I meet you earlier

Julie Zickefoose - The Creative Force - Duration: 28:40.
welcome to I love content I'm your host Laura Bergells and with me are Scott
Smith and Elizabeth Goede and our special guest today is Julie Zickefoose
she is coming to us from an 80-acre Wildlife Sanctuary in Appalachian
Ohio and other than writing and illustrating books Julie's also a
contributing editor to Bird Watchers Digest and she speaks she leads trips
and history excursions and she sings in a band and she even has a new book
coming out in 2019 so in other words she is a creative force and we are lucky to
have her POP by to talk about creativity for our Lunch and Learn today
so welcome Julie and I'm going to kick things off by asking you Julie where
does all this creative force and creativity come from oh boy you know
I've been I've been pondering this question I told you I was an over
preparer but it's true I kind of I kind of in answering that question I think I
need to get a little bit Jungian on you and this is not my field psychology but
I'm very interested in it and and Tom Laughlin who is a screenwriter and a
writer and also a Jungian psychologist says that there is this thing called the
self and in the self is the ego and hammering the way at the outside of the
self and getting into the self is the divine and creativity
I believe dwells in the divine it's something that comes from without it's
something that hits you or perhaps it can be soft generated but it's always
banging away on our door and what stands between creativity and the self is the
ego the ego is our everyday self that says oh I really ought to wipe these
counters and whoa you know gee I've got a lot of laundry to do and and oh you
know my husband won't like it if I write all day and you know so the ego is the
thing that's always mattering away and wrecking the creative force so
creativity comes from clearing away the resistance that keeps us
doing what we were meant to do I think and there are a number of examples of
that I had this really interesting revelation I read the writers Almanac
which is this lovely thing that comes in the mail it's from Garrison Keillor and
it's got a poem every time and it was talking about Emily Dickinson Emily
Dickinson is famous for just I mean her poems just knocked me out they're just
incredible yeah usually set in the natural world always incredibly
insightful and Syrian you know just just beautiful work um and Emily Dickinson
sort of was like in high society and just you know cavorting around with her
friends and everything in the belle of Amherst and then she just kind of
disappeared at around 35 and she was writing a lot of poetry and over the
years people have been speculating about what happened to Emily Dickinson what
was wrong with Emily Dickinson why was she always alone why was she a recluse
right and so that you know the speculations have been oh well maybe she
was an epileptic the meter of her poem sound like they were written by an
epileptic maybe she had a broken heart maybe some guy broke her heart and so
she went into seclusion maybe there was nothing wrong with Emily Dickinson maybe
Emily Dickinson wrote better when she was by herself
like I do like a lot of people do like we don't allow ourselves to be and so
I've been really exploring solitude I think creativity comes out of solitude
creativity comes out of clearing away the cruds that is in your head
that is in your way and a lot of the crud that's in your head that's in your
way is generated by people all around you're talking a lot or by the
television set talking a lot or by the radio bumming you out or whatever it is
so I guess I'm speaking from a position of having been mired in all the stuff
that keeps you from doing what you're supposed to be doing and suddenly seeing
the light and I feel really good about that I love that because a I love Emily
Dickinson and I did have a client we were talking about Emily Dickinson
and she said oh isn't it so sad that she was a recluse and I'm like no I really
loved that she did what she did in a way that she wanted to that she wasn't after
fame that she was after the creativity so how do you balance that with all the
different distractions that we have today and all the push of you know be
involved with social media and you know keep being out there in the world how do
you balance and that because I really really align with what you're saying
uh-huh well Emily Dickinson died at 55 with
1800 poems in her death so clearly she found the self herself very good company
and that was what she chose to do I think it frightens the world at large
when an artist says you know what later I've got stuff to do here I think it
bothers family and friends I think they just kind of say they don't they don't
have a way a lot of people of understanding what creative isolation is
all about and I and I guess I talked to a lot of women who say I want to do what
you do I want to write books I just want to write books I don't have time to
write books but I want to write books because I believe that you should make
it a having time is not the way to phrase it
making time is the way to phrase it making time I don't make time to write
books it's a whole different thing then isn't it mm-hmm
and so for me when I have I have my dearest friend is always saying I just
just don't have time to get my house in order
you don't make time to get your house in order and I were and I I correct her
every time and she loves me for that and she corrects me when I'm on the ceiling
she pulls me off but this is a you know it's about being the captain of your own
destiny and deciding what it is you're going to
spend this wild and precious life doing Mary Oliver is also considered a recluse
what a coincidence brilliant poet really a natural you know
poet incredible person so what if she spends a lot of time alone that's where
those poems come from so I guess I'm making a I'm making a plea for some
creative isolation I don't think we grant ourselves that and I just don't
think we do I think we think it's abnormal you know to want to want to
just shut yourself away and in your Tower and write but once you do and once
you get into that you know is it's a very powerful thing I really resonate
with that because at a very early age right when I graduated from with my
master's degree uh professor psychologist gave me the
gift of a psychological profile and he said Laura you're an extreme extrovert
and I said I think he might be mistaken about that because while I really like
people and I really enjoy being around people and I get a lot of energy from
being around people I really like my alone time and I like being among people
but it's like leave me alone otherwise no work will get done whatsoever
and I get really agitated if I don't have my alone time and I'm an extreme
extrovert apparently so how did weird is there a
balance that we need to have for creative isolation and our people time
well you know you're asking the wrong person has now been eight days I've
started my car so you know it's so funny I go to start my subaru and it goes and
I'm like what's wrong with you and it's like it's eight days so I I admit that I
am kind of on the other side of this right now because I'm finishing a book
so I'm kind of I'm I'm on the way other end of the spectrum but I also have a
problem with people dividing the world into extroverts and introverts I think
that's a problem because I think you can be a real mix
and there's nobody the party like you right and there's nobody who loves a
party like me but I like it when I want I don't want a party every night you
know if I partied every night I'd be
miserable so I think that every human being has doses of both and and I think
that what we're guilty of mostly is ignoring the introvert in ourselves the
person who has to be alone with their thoughts and collecting themselves in
order to produce something so I guess I'm just making a plead for people to
carve out the time to do what it is that sets them at peace and to grant
themselves unstructured time unstructured time is the greatest gift
any creative artist can have and and that's what we deny ourselves most most
frequently I think I see that as well I see children with so much structured
time and I had so much unstructured time and I'm not hearing a lot about this
whole introversion extroversion thing where people will act like introversion
is some sort of disease or if it's like this amazing social power and I have to
tell you I'm I'm kind of with you on the I'm not really believing that there is
such a spectrum I believe that we all have you know different personalities
but I'm not really sure that there's we should place so much credence on that
scale well I think it's very contextual and I'm always skeptical when anything
is presented as a dichotomy yeah thank you he's gonna fit neatly into two
buckets or one literally and the world is very nuanced and fluid and changing
and people are changing and people are gonna react to different circumstances a
different way depending on what they had for breakfast how much sleep they had
and whether and that they could annoyed by a person like they're speaking to
right now now that I got annoyed to buy it you might say I'm an extreme
introvert whenever I'm behind on a deadline and because I'm like people get
away from me I got work
hi I'm pretty much somebody that's all over the board as far as introversion
and extraversion so yeah I don't like dichotomies I didn't like one that my
friend came up with that everything in the universe is either a shark's tooth
or it isn't we we hit on something with deadlines right you just you just invoke
the word and there there was a corollary of this whole Union self with the ego
and everything and this guy Tom Laughlin works he's a psychologist who works with
terminal patients and he says that at the moment someone is given a terminal
diagnosis ie they have a very limited time to live their consciousness shifts
from the ego to the self they suddenly ask themselves well what is it that I
should have been doing all along what is it I should be doing they take up music
they go to their kids baseball games they visit their grandparents they do
things that have been shoved aside by all the ego stuff which is uh oh I got
to get this bill paid and I got it you know I gotta get this report in and all
that stuff that seems so important and was foremost in their life is suddenly
shoved aside for the heart stuff for the soul stuff and that shift of
consciousness that happens when you find out you have a very short time to live
is I would submit the same thing that happens when you get a big fat deadline
from your publisher it forces a shift of consciousness in you that says oh I
don't have much time left let's do what matters which is your work which has
always been what mattered but we need a deadline in order to make it matter to
us and so I like that parallel of and why is it called a deadline because
you're dead if you don't get it done right or that's that's after that your
contract is dead and you don't get paid right so I just I like that I like that
simile of or that metaphor of you know very little life to live or deadline
very little time to fool around and so you get to it brand um for my
book Saving Jemima I set myself a deadline of a year I experienced this
incredible thing with this bird that I raised this blue jay and I started
writing about her when the day I got her I just started writing because I knew
this bird was big and she wound up to have this incredible sort of picaresque
adventure of a life and all this crazy stuff happened and I'm writing the whole
time so by the time I released that bird I was well on my way and I just kept
writing and writing and then I started painting and the goal was a self-imposed
deadline up I'm gonna get a manuscript in exactly a year from the last time I
saw the bird the last time I saw the bird was December 23rd 2017 and I just
handed in the last chapter yesterday so I actually beat my own okay but it's
been a holy thing for me to be able to to put out an entire book written and
illustrated with 20 paintings and all the photographs 106 photographs get it
out just do it yeah you know so that's that's been that's been my go this whole
year and it's been amazing what you can put aside you know you don't actually
have to answer all 90 emails in your box that day you can let some of them age
until they ripen and then fall look it doesn't matter anymore
it's like first of all there's the reason the word dead isn't that word
deadline right and I love that I love a lot the other yeah about the having time
versus making time the same thing with answering the emails it's I have a thing
where I say it's not that I don't have time it's like that's not a priority and
there's just like okay my washroom right now is a mess
and it's been a mess now for three days but cleaning it up right now it's not a
priority we're talking about creativity he did exactly I think that one of the
things I have to remind myself is I have to
read the person that is sending me the email that says urgent do they have it
of quitting lots of exclamation marks and saying it's urgent when they can't
find the coffee filters or something like that and just like you have to take
the salt because some people are gonna find a way to get a hold of you if you
don't answer the text or the email something like that there's the people
that see you in the hallway to ask you if you got the voicemail about the email
they spend you have to like you can only give that so much effort it's just like
I used to be somebody that I have to answer this this and this right now and
then I felt that I used to work with manage 200 people and he said I checked
my email at 6:30 and 6:30 and that's it there you go
there you go let me uh that brings me to a point that is a new discovery of mine
years and years and years ago I said there shall never be a TV in the bedroom
no thank you not gonna happen and just recently I
realized that I'm using my phone as a TV so it no longer gets to come into the
bedroom either and the amazing thing that has happened since I did that is
I've started writing again so before I go to sleep I write when I wake up the
first thing I write is what I drink and creativity lives in the dreams the
divine comes to you through the dreams so if you write down your dreams you
remember them better the next time today is my dogs would be my dog's 13th
birthday and he visited me in my dream last night it was incredible yeah I
could steal him I could hear him he could talk it was amazing it was a
visitation had I not been writing down my dreams I might never have remembered
that I dreamt that but it's so precious to me so write down your dreams they
mean something every single one of them has all these rich metaphors in them you
can get essays out of a dream so write write with a pen on your hand
yeah and end thing about it as your penmanship
improves that's because they like the phrase write down your dreams because I
know people say live your dreams but if you don't remember what your dreams are
when you're working on a book and you're doing the photography and the
illustrations is there like one area that is more gravity than another do you
feel like okay I need to paint today or I need to write today or do your muses
ever fight for your time thank you for that question Scott that's a great one
yeah I have this thing I have the cerebral cortex that has a right half
and a left half and near the twain shall mix and the thing that that is my
particular monkey is that I love to write I could write hanging by one foot
upside down writing is therapy writing is easy
writing is fun for me painting I absolutely love to paint but only after
I've started doing it so I I set up a tremendous amount of resistance for
myself when I'm trying to get through that really thick membrane between the
right brain and the left brain the creative brain the right brain and the
left brain which is the writings so so what happens to me is I I have this
tremendous grinding of gears and and since I'm a linear thinker I get all my
writing done and then it's time to paint and then I basically goof around for
like weeks two months before I start painting my resistance walks in and says
hey hey shouldn't you really turn over that rhubarb bed before it you know so
it's really hard for me to start to shift gears right now I'm doing this
amazing sort of mix of painting and writing and and that feels really really
good but I know it's not really me I think it's just deadlines produced
just like the Kerouac story of him getting jazzed up to write and
then sitting with a roll of telegraph paper feeding into his typewriter
Truman Capote say that's not writing that's typing Oh
yeah sometimes it's just typing you know but but usually I think the thing that's
really cool about writing is that you don't know what you're gonna write until
you start doing it and then all this stuff comes out and I think that is the
subconscious channeling through because I'm doing that motion of writing with a
pen or typing it frees up the subconscious to start really speaking to
you at least it does for me and it's said that that quote writing is like
driving in the fog you can only see as far as your headlights but you can make
the whole trip that way right yeah yeah I feel that acutely too because I
participate in NaNoWriMo which is national novel writers month you
talk about deadlines you get your 30 days to write 50,000 words and there are
two approaches to it some people will say you know you have to have an outline
to write otherwise you'll never make it and then there's others
called planners and then the other half is called Pantsers and they're just like
just go in and start writing I find that I'm more of a plantser or a little bit of
both I have kind of a plan but once I start writing my characters and the plot
have a mind of their own and I might have ideas but it's like nope this
character's doing something else I got to see where this characters gotta take
me so that hey yeah yeah and it's all
generated from you but you don't really know that it's in there right do you
take write which leads me back to how you have to write those dreams off and
actually go through the process of writing to see what's going to happen
and would you recommend that even for people who aren't writers but for people
who are are like Elizabeth who is a painter and a drawer to say can you get
to drawing and painting through writing there's some things that I write
certainly beg to be beg to be drawn I'm beg to be painted I know Elizabeth what
do you think I'm back to this how I actually set and abide by my own
deadlines I'm very good when it comes to a client but I'm trying to figure out
how Julie you can and abide by your own deadlines do you
have any I do actually and they're really practical thoughts for me
deadlines are have always been sacrosanct because when I decided to go
completely freelance when I was gosh oh my gosh a long time ago I decided that I
would not have a boss anymore and I was going to be freelance and there were a
couple of things that floated up to the top and one of them is be absolutely
sure before you say yes I can do that that you can do it but not only that be
sure that you can do it better than anybody else could and that's why when
you guys approached me about this video conference I was like well I need some
more information I got really nerdy and I started emailing you guys because I
wanted to know what you expected I wanted to know what you wanted and what
would make you happy so I wanted to make sure that I could give you that that is
what I mean by being an over-prepare and I have only run into one freelance job
that was a horrible fit for me and because I didn't realize what the guy
wanted until after we were well into it and what he wanted me to do was to write
a book with all his thoughts and information but in my writing voice mmm
I was like oh okay so that's what you want so I lost weeks of sleep over it
because we had a contract and it was gonna happen and I realize I could not
bend and fold and me lay myself into that box that he wanted to put me in he
wanted my policy wrapped around what he wanted to say
so I finally just said I can't do this you know but that's the only time that
I've ever gotten into a job that far and then said whoa
usually I think I think it all out beforehand and make sure that I can do
right so as a freelancer that's it's just make really sure that you can do it
before you ever say yes and and then just
really super simple stuff make your workspace really nice you know you can't
work in clutter and junk and if it's a scented candle that you need or just the
right music on Spotify make it a treat to go into your studio you know make it
keep it nice as much as you can I mean you know when I'm working as I am now
there's just stuff strewn everywhere it's like a blue jay scan my blue jay
will take your your little cardinal anyway yeah try to make your studio
space really nice make it a place you feel like going when you walk in you
even happy sigh I got rid of all television when my last kid went to
college this fall I was like you know what never gonna watch it never gonna
turn it on if I need to watch TV I'll go to the neighbor's house or something so
that's gone and so this has been for me a process of throw bein stripped down
and it's really working well for me like I just I just went downstairs and I
admit to hang out clothes today but it's not going to get about freezing again so
I am four or unfurled my Amish driving rack in the basement and as I was
hanging the clothes on it in the dark I thought you are turning into Henry David
Thoreau what I'm trying to do is not use stuff that I don't really need to use
yahoos electricity to drive I've got time let's hang them up you know for
sure so and and what right if you can see with the light coming in the window
why turn on a light I know our time is running out and you know you you are a
prolific writer and we've got a lot of books you have a new book coming out in
fall of next year is that right tell us about that right yeah it's called saving
jemima life in love with a hard-luck jay and i mentioned earlier that that I'd
raised this bird but all this all this other stuff happened and it wasn't your
normal raise and release story there was television involved and there was
disease and catastrophe and love and laugh
and it's just a really kind of a neat story that has real arc and the coolest
thing that happened is all of this heavy-duty involvement with this one
bird has launched me on to my career as a professional J identifier and now
yesterday morning I could identify by their faces eight of the Jays at my
feeder just by looking at them by and this morning in uh up by their faces and
I'm seven and Counting now and the stuff that you learn when you know one bird
from another is incredible just incredible it's the same thing that Jane
Goodall did the first thing she had to do was feed the bird feed the
chimpanzees get them coming in and then figure out who each one was and who was
related to who now I'm never gonna go there with the Jays probably I mean I
might get there I'm looking at a J right now but but it's just it's like Jemima
kicked open this door for me and all this light came in and it's just it's
amazing now we're looking forward to that book in fall of 2019 and I know
that you talked a lot about creative solitude and yet you're still a social
person where can we find and follow you on social media okay I'm honest under my
own name Julie's in Affairs and I'm on Facebook under my own name Julie's

Explore The Ruins of A Medieval East African Empire - Duration: 3:41.
- On an island off the coast of Tanzania,
are the ruins of a city that was a hub of global trade
for centuries, right up until the Europeans
showed up and spoiled everything.
I'm Samir Patel, deputy editor of Atlas Obscura,
and this is Kilwa Kisiwani.
To get to the ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani, you first have to get
to the tiny island of Kilwa Masoko, get a permit,
and then head to the dock at the southern end of the island
and convince someone who has a boat to take you across.
As soon as you wade through the surf to the island,
you'll find yourself in the ruins of maybe the greatest
city of the Swahili culture.
Before Europe's Age of Exploration, starting
in the 10th century, a bunch of rich sultanates arose
on the East African coast, kind of like
the city-states of Renaissance Italy.
The biggest was Kilwa Kisiwani, which made its fortunes
by playing the global markets, trading the riches
of the African interior
(gold, ivory, timber, spices, even slaves)
to the Middle East, India, and then on to Europe
and even to China.
It was even mentioned in John Milton's "Paradise Lost"
as one of the great kingdoms of the Earth.
The site today is a ruin,
but the standing remains are spectacular.
They're all made of giant blocks
of limestone called coral rag.
You'll see the Great Mosque,
it's the oldest standing mosque in the region
which had 16 domes originally
(10 of them of still intact).
You'll see a fort called Husuni Ndogo, and the remains
of a bunch of other, smaller buildings.
But the real highlight, which you have to take a boat to
because it's on the other side
of a mangrove forest, is Husuni Kubwa,
the grand palace built by Sultan al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman
in the 14th century, at the height of the city's power.
You have to enter by boat, at the base of a cliff,
and then you climb these worn stairs to the hilltop
to the ruins of the palace.
There's a giant cliffside octagonal bath,
a residence with 100 rooms, a stepped greeting court,
with candle niches in the wall.
But it was a little too ambitious.
For some reason we don't know,
the sultan never finished it.
The question of who built this city was much debated
in the early 20th century.
Old accounts said it was founded by a Persian prince
who bought the island from a local king for cloth,
enough cloth to encircle the whole island,
and then destroyed the bridge
that connected it to the mainland.
This actually turned out to be a classic bit
of colonial thinking, that Africans couldn't possibly
have built such an international, sophisticated city,
a multicultural center, and a global trade network.
Later excavations at another of the stone towns
on the Swahili coast, Shanga in Kenya,
show clearly that the Swahili culture
was homegrown in Africa and it picked Islam
and its architectural styles-
the minarets, the mosques, the domes-
to make itself more appealing to Arab traders.
They cherry-picked their influences from the successful
parts of other cultures until it all came
to an end in the 16th century.
That's when the Portuguese showed up, building forts,
demanding tribute, and generally mucking things up.
A lot of the stone towns were hastily abandoned
around this time, and though it's hard to say exactly why,
losing control of the trade that made them rich
was probably a big part of it.
So this is one of the great, little-known
and little-studied medieval civilizations
of the world, like a Venice of its time.
And it's actually not really gone.
There's still nearly 2 million people living on the
East African coast who identify as Swahili
and millions more who speak the language.

John Carter of Mars - Character Creation - Duration: 10:52.
hi I am Virginia from Modiphius and I am the resident Jeddara of narrators here
and today we're going to show you how easy it is to do a character creation
run-through for the new John Carter of Mars RPG. The first thing you're going to
need is a character sheet and you can find one of these in the back of the John
Carter book or in our Prince of Helium notebook or in the description down
below. So Step One of character creation is coming up with a general concept for
your character. This is who they are? What do they stand for? and what are they
doing on Barsoom? I am going for a Panthan warrior so a mercenary who goes
around looking for glory and battle. It's best to put this down in the concept box
on the character sheets that you have a good idea as you go through the process
of keeping to this concept. The Second Step of character creation is your
starting attributes so the first thing you need to do is note down that all of
your attributes on this sheet start with 'four'.
It's best to write these in pencil because you're going to be changing
around the numbers as we go through the process. When filling in your starting
attributes it's worth noting that you have got two points to spend in any of
the attributes on there, though it's best to hold on to these till the end so you
can decide which attributes you need to bump up. The Third Step to character
creation is selecting the race of your character. Now in the core book you have
the option here for Red Martians, Green Martians, the Okar Yellow Martians and
the Firstborn. There are also rules for creating mixed heritage characters so if
you want someone like Tara of Helium who is part Earthborn and part Red Martian
you can do that too. I've decided to go for an Okar so, a Yellow Martian, who
comes from the frozen North of Barsoom so to make a much more interesting and
unique character.
Once you've selected your characters race, it's now time to look and see what
bonuses you get from that so for the Okar Martian you get a +1 to your
cunning and your daring, and then you get a choice to add +1 to two attributes
and you get the choice of Empathy, Light or Reason. Now because I'm going for a
warrior I want to give her might because that will give her strength and that'll
do better for her in combat and I want to give her reason because I wanted her to
be clever and be able to work out battle tactics. Also detailed in your characters
race will be the things that your character knows, the things that they
don't know nd the things they're capable of doing. An example of this is as a Yellow
Martian I can speak Barsoomian and I know about the Frozen North but I don't
do so well knowing about other cultures from other parts of Barsoom like the Red
Martians or the Green Hordes. Step Four of character creation is to select your
character's archetype. This is a much more in-depth background of your
character and what they're doing on Barsoom or what role they play within
your party because I'm going for a Panthan warrior I'm going to go for the
Panthan archetype so the archetype here gives you an attribute bonus so I get
+2 to my daring and my might
And I also get a talent from this. This is a grade one talent which is the first
level of talents that you can get and this particular one is who dares wins so
I choose a particular type of weapon and when I'm using that weapon I get bonus
damage. It's best to detail the names of the talents in the talent box on your
character sheet so you can remember what they are or you can write them out in
full. Along side of the stat bonuses and talent you get from your character
archetype you also get another list of things that you know and things that you
can do. So for example my Okar Martian knows military history on Barsoom and is
capable of negotiating work contracts for Panthans.
Step Five of character creation is picking a descriptor. Characters in John
Carter of Mars are large and bolder than life so picking a descriptor that kind
of describes the core of your character provides you not only with something to
use to roleplay but it gives you a stat bonus as well.
I have decided on the
'disciplined' descriptor she is a hard-working warrior on Barsoom and she
takes her her craft very seriously. So this descriptor gives me a +1
to might and a +1 to reason.
Step Six of character creation is adding any
other additional talents at the beginning of character creation everyone
gets five grades worth of talents to add all of the talents in the book are
graded one to five depending on how good they are or how complicated they are you
can switch to the talents chapter to decide these for yourself
or you can create your own. If you want to see us create some talents over video
then let us know in the comments down below but for now the talents that I'm
picking are... I'm picking the 'cut them down' talent
'an eye for danger'
and 'disarming parry'
It's best to choose talents that reflects the things that you want your
character to be able to do - so 'cut them down' allows my character to swing at
enemies left right and center which plays into her character concept. If
there aren't any talents in the book that fit what you want your characters
to do, you can work with your GN to create a talent that works for you.
Step Seven of character creation is your starting renown and starting equipment
now unless you're playing an Earthborn character because they don't get any
starting renown, you get a starting renown of Ten and you can mark this into
your box... you also get some starting equipment now it's best to talk to your
GM about which equipment it's reasonable for your character to start with but
most Martian races will start with a weapon of some kind or a symbol of an
important house. If you're Earthborn you don't get any starting equipment- you are
new to Barsoom just like Carter was when he first arrived. So I'm going to mark
down a s word as my core equipment.
Step Eight of character creation is picking a floor for your character.
This is almost like an anti talent. It's something that
if your character doesn't adhere to or follow - you actually lose some momentum
during the game and it's meant to be a drive to push your character into daring
and heroic situations. I have decided to pick the 'overprotective' flaw, this means
that my character prides it upon itself to protect those that she's with and
when she fails to do so she suffers the cost
so Step Nine and the last part of character creation is to finalize everything that
you have. The first thing to do would be to add those two points that we got from
the beginning of character creation to our attributes to see which ones we want
to boost. So looking at my character sheet I want to boost 'might' up by one more
because she is a fighting character and I also want to keep that she's very
intelligent so I'm going to boost her 'reason' up by one more and then I can
finalize the rest of these.
On top of this you also want to name your
character you can pick any name that you like but in the core book we do have
some suggestions and we take you through the naming conventions of all of the
core Martian races so you can really feel like you fit the setting. I am
taking one from the book and I'm using 'Sorav'. At this point you can decide if
your character has got any allies or renown that they want to spend at
character creation I'm going to decide that I'm going to have a Thark Chieftain
as one of my allies...
...and this is going to cost me six renown so I'm just going to
mark that off on my sheets.
Alongside this
we want to fill out our maximum
stress on all three of our stress tracks and you calculate this by choosing the
highest of the attributes that it affects. So 'confusion' affects empathy and reason
and the highest of my empathy and reason is going to be seven. For 'fear' that
impacts daring and passion and my daring is the highest so it will also be seven
and for injury it's going to be the highest of my cunning and might which is
nine.
The very last thing that you're going to want to do is if you do have a
weapon as a piece of starting equipment to fill that in in the weapons section
on your character sheet so the basic damage for my sword is two and I don't
need to add any notes or ammo.
One more thing to do that might help you out is
because in John Carter of Mars everyone has individual momentum pools
as seen on your character sheet . It's a good idea to mark off what your maximum
momentum it is at the moment just in the corner of the sheet so for me it'll
be equal to my lowest attribute which is four and it's the same for your luck
points you have luck points equal to your lowest attribute which is four for
me as well.
And there you have it you have now created a character for John
Carter of Mars so we can see here that I have Sorav the Panthan Warrior who
is allied with a Thark Chieftain with a high daring and high might. She's going to
be running around Barsoom, doing all sorts of heroic acts and getting into
battles and fights just like John Carter himself would.
So if you now have a new
bold, heroic John Carter character to play you might want to consider getting
our Phantoms of Mars campaign book to play them in! If you have liked this

DEGREES OF SEPARATION - Features Trailer - Duration: 2:32.
(exotic music)
(exotic music)
- [Narrator] Degrees of Separation
is a stunningly beautiful story-based puzzle platformer
from Moondrop Studios and Modus Games.
It's a unique atmospheric and artful indie game
with a ton of heart.
The central look of this game
is the split-screen interaction
between the two main characters, Ember and Rime,
who carry the elemental properties
of their distinct worlds wherever they go.
So as the characters move around screen,
the environment changes from hot to cold and vice versa.
In another video we'll talk specifically about
the amazing story, which is written by acclaimed
fantasy writer, Chris Avellone
and narrated by the talented Kira Buckland.
But for now let's talk about the game play.
The game is cooperative by nature
so the best way to play it is with a friend
or a significant other.
In co-op mode, you'll work together
to solve environmental puzzles.
For example, you may have to move around the screen
to either freeze or melt geysers to be able
to freely traverse the environment.
In single player, everything works the same
but you control both characters,
which sounds harder than it is.
You'll be able to to quickly switch between the two
or for general locomotion you can just hold a button
to move both characters simultaneously.
The game rewards intelligent cooperative puzzle solving,
rather than tight execution.
So anyone can pick up and play this game.
Every world will introduce a new mechanic
that presents a new challenge,
making you think outside the box for each puzzle.
For example, in one of the worlds,
you can use each other's energy
to explode the barrier between Ember and Rime,
allowing both players to access areas
they wouldn't have been able to before.
(uplifting music)
The music you're listening to is the original score
for Degrees of Separation, performed by Kristian Brastein,
an acclaimed composer based in Norway.
These hauntingly beautiful compositions
compliment the romantic atmosphere,
which really pops with its contrasting colors
and vivid details.
That's all we have for now.
Be sure to follow us on social media for more updates
and the chance at early peek at hands-on game play.
And don't forget to wishlist on Steam.
