Dangerous Journeys
''Dangerous Journeys'' was a roleplaying game created by Gary Gygax, the cocreator of the original ''Dungeons & Dragons'' system. The game was originally announced as ''Dangerous Dimensions'' but was changed to ''Dangerous Journeys'' in response to a threat of a lawsuit from TSR, Inc., the publishers of ''Dungeons and Dragons'', and the company Gygax had cofounded, over objections that the "DD" abbreviation would be too similar to "D&D." Created after his departure from TSR, the publication of this series of books by Game Designers' Workshop was met with lawsuits by TSR, which ultimately saw the production of the game system cease. The design of the game system addressed many of the perceived flaws and limitations of the older AD&D game system, such as a lack of a skill system and rigid, class-based restrictions on weapons.

Holding what he considers Aryan civilizations to be the pinnacle of humanity, he blames Semitic influences for moral and social degradation, and holds that the State must ensure that "higher" races must rule over the "lower" races and not interbreed with them. Published in 1930, the book sold more than one million copies by 1944 thanks to Nazi support. Hitler awarded a State Prize for Art and Science to Rosenberg for the book i ...

Mythos
Myth is a genre of folklore consisting primarily of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society. For scholars, this is very different from the vernacular usage of the term "myth" that refers to a belief that is not true. Instead, the veracity of a myth is not a defining criterion. Myths are often endorsed by religious (when they are closely linked to religion or spirituality) and secular authorities. Many societies group their myths, legends, and history together, considering myths and legends to be factual accounts of their remote past. In particular, creation myths take place in a primordial age when the world had not achieved its later form. Origin myths explain how a society's customs, institutions, and taboos were established and sanctified. National myths are narratives about a nation's past that symbolize the nation's values. There is a complex relationship between recital of myths and the enactment of rituals. Etymology The word "myth" comes from Ancient ...
