Captain James Cook first made contact with the area now known as British Columbia in 1778. The colonists who followed soon realized they needed a written history, both to justify their dispossession of Aboriginal peoples and to formulate an identity for a new settler society. Writing British Columbia History traces how Euro-Canadian historians took up this task, and struggled with the newness of colonial society and overlapping ties to the British Empire, the United States, and Canada. This exploration of the role of history writing in colonialism and nation building will appeal to anyone interested in the history of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and history writing in Canada.
They Watch... from the salons of the rich to the darkest corners of the tenements, they are out there in the city. The city plays host to countless organisations, each with their own agenda, battling in a shadow war for supremacy under the cover of the smog that fills the streets. These groups range from the ancient to the new, from political activists to cultists worshipping dark gods. Their members range across society, inviting both gentleman and scoundrel to their secret meetings. So you need to watch your step as you cross the smoke shadowed streets. The next person you meet could be one of them. But will they become an ally, or an enemy?
ROLEPLAYING DURING THE GREAT PURGES OF STALIN'S RUSSIA All is not well at Krasivyi Oktabyr-3, a collective farm hidden away in the wilds of central Russia. A fall-off in production has come to the attention of the Soviet authorities and communications are down. No one has a clue as to what is happening out there. Despite the ravages of the Russian winter, someone must be sent to uncover the reasons for the slackening production and to deal with the situation. Vigilance is key, as there may be anti-Soviet agitators at work. Trust no one! COLD HARVEST is a CALL OF CTHULHU scenario set at the height of Stalin's Russia in the late 1930s. Players take on the role of NKVD agents from the People's Commissariat For Internal Affairs, tasked with investigating strange happenings at Krasivyi Oktabyr-3. COLD HARVEST has been designed to be playable by one Keeper and one player, as well as for groups of between two to six players. Eight pre-generated investigators are included, allowing players to chose from a range of characters. Directions are also provided as to the role and duties of an NKVD officer, allowing players to quickly understand the motivations and responsibilities of their characters. Throughout the scenario, guidance and roleplaying tips are provided for the Keeper, as well as advice for using other published Soviet-era scenarios with COLD HARVEST to form a larger campaign set against the backdrop of Communist Russia.
