Mage (Archaeron)
''Mage'' is a 1980 rulebook for the Archaeron Game System. Contents ''Mage'' is a supplement designed to add to a fantasy campaign, or it can be used as a magical combat rules system. Reception Lloyd W. Willis reviewed ''Mage'' in ''The Space Gamer'' No. 37. Willis commented that "The main problem with ''Mage'' is that it requires a thorough and imaginative referee. Since such referees are always in short supply, using ''Mage'' in your campaign is likely to be quite disappointing. On the other hand, if you use it for the one-on-one magical combat, it promises all the excitement of the last Duran-Leonard fight."

Sugar Ray Leonard Vs
Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Compound sugars, also called disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules made of two bonded monosaccharides; common examples are sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (two molecules of glucose). White sugar is a refined form of sucrose. In the body, compound sugars are hydrolysed into simple sugars. Longer chains of monosaccharides (>2) are not regarded as sugars, and are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Starch is a glucose polymer found in plants, the most abundant source of energy in human food. Some other chemical substances, such as glycerol and sugar alcohols, may have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugar. Sugars are found in the tissues of most plants.

Fantasy Role-playing Game Supplements
Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction involving magical elements, typically set in a fictional universe and sometimes inspired by mythology and folklore. Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama. From the twentieth century, it has expanded further into various media, including film, television, graphic novels, manga, animations and video games. Fantasy is distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the respective absence of scientific or macabre themes, although these genres overlap. In popular culture, the fantasy genre predominantly features settings that emulate Earth, but with a sense of otherness. In its broadest sense, however, fantasy consists of works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians from ancient myths and legends to many recent and popular works. Traits Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Magic, magic practitioners ( so ...
