~ News from afar ~

DragonRaid Web:
The rumor is true! There is a web sample of what it is like to play
DragonRaid. It's an introduction to DragonRaid, but for those that haven't
found a group to play with, it can give you a taste of what Dragonraid is
all about!  The graphics are pretty cool and this web site will even
generate a character randomly, showing how they are derived, in just a few
moments of delay.

The creator of this Web sample, Glen Stewart said "I certainly was thrilled
when I saw the original material about a year ago!  Much more could be done
with the multimedia capabilities of the web, but that's all I've had time
for at this point."

Here's the location --

~ Reminder News ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever wondered if there was anyone else out there who has played
DragonRaid?  Maybe wondered if there is another Adventure Master (nicknamed
Referee's by some of us) who has encountered similar or possibly even MORE
Bizarre situations than you have?!  Well, here is your chance to find out.

The LightRaider NET editors have discovered and pestered Glen Stewart to
host a DragonRaid mailing list (email of course!).  But in our pestering we
promised there would be at least 30 people sign up for it.

Here's how you can become a subscriber to the dragonraid mailing list!

Send an email message with "SUBSCRIBE dragonraid" to listserv@associate.com.

After you sign up you will get email from dragonraid@associate.com.  Any
message you send to dragonraid@associate.com will automatically be sent to
everyone on the list.

~ the bard's music ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's Jill's submissions for the bard's music for the month of June...

Come visit the unofficial Resurrection Band Homepage on the web at
http://walli.uwasa.fi/~mandt/rez/rez.html  Check out their new CD called
Lament--the songs speak of the condition of so many people today.

Bride has an official homepage that the guys maintain themselves (I think
that Dale does this) at http://ns1.win.net/bride/  The band is touring right
now; maybe they will come to your town next!

There is one more worthy site dedicated to Bride that has lots of features
like discography and a readers' favorites poll and results.  Definitely
worth a visit at http://ns2.kis.net/free/bride.htm/

~ the librarian's desk ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You enter a room with a friendly fire burning at the other end. Comfortable
chairs form a crescent around the fireplace and then you notice the myriads
of books in the walls, stacked on tables and even suspended from the
ceiling!  How could you choose a book to read... A head shrouded with hair
the color of cirrus clouds nods to the desk in the center of the room. One
end of the desk has been cleared of all but a few books. In this sea of
literature, there is a path to the place of those few writings. Those
writings the librarian has set aside.

"Read any work you like." says the seated figure as a wizened arm
directs your gaze to the entire room.

By now, you HAVE to at least know what those titles are set aside on that
desk...

Maybe try looking at a magazine like Beyond Online, "the electronic version
of the magazine for Christian young adults. Twenty thousand copies of Beyond
are distributed quarterly and free of charge to young adults across Canada
and the US. Our mission statement is "challenging young adults to know God."

Or if you want to find a classic or two, try the Guide to Christian
Literature on the Internet is a good place to find some Christian reading
material on the Internet at:

~ the artist's gallery ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://www.wp.com/artmax/gallery.html

Here's an interesting place called Christian Art in the 1990's. It has a
variety of art types (architectural/stained glass, sculpture/mixed media,
painting, prose/poetry, and music) and they're working on an automatic slide
show as well.

LightRaider Net is an electronic newsletter for adventurers!  

We discuss the DragonRaid (tm) game designed by Dick Wulf
(ftp://earth.usa.net/users/dragonraid), tell stories and experiences we have
had and talk about new adventure ideas. We also share what books and music and
graphics have inspired us and maybe what we have used to enhance learning.  

We would like to hear from people who have played DragonRaid (tm). Reply to this
message or send email to cass@alaska.net to let us know that you want to
continue to receive the LightRaider NET.  Feel free to forward it to anyone
you think would enjoy it!

A LightRaider is a strong and adventurous TwiceBorn who is sent out on
missions in the service of the OverLord of Many Names.  If you have never
heard of LightRaiders, here is a good source to learn about them:
