![]() The prose he crafted, vivid and effective within its domain, really is virtually indistinguishable from that of its inspiration, whose own involvement was limited to an early in-person meeting and regular phone conversations thereafter. He immersed himself in Feist’s works to the point of that he was almost able to become the novelist. So, Hallford wrote Betrayal at Krondor with Feist’s fans constantly in mind. Hallford points to one disillusioning book in particular, which constantly referred to phasers as “ray guns.” It inculcated in him a sense that any writer who works in a beloved universe owes it to the fans of said universe - even if he’s not really one of them - to be as true to it as is humanly possible. BETRAYAL AT KRONDOR RIFT GATE SERIESI read them as well, and can remember that some of them were surprisingly good as novels, at least according to my adolescent sensibilities, while also managing to capture the spirit of the series I saw on television. He points back to an experience from his youth: when, as a dedicated Star Trek fan, he started to read the paperback novels based on the television series which Pocket Books published in the 1980s. Thus, even though he wasn’t quite of Feist’s hardcore fandom, he had enormous empathy for them. He calls himself a “born fanboy” by nature. Hallford may have come to Midkemia late, but his dogged determination to capture the world exactly as it existed in the novels would come to a large degree to define the project. Somewhat to everyone’s surprise, Feist was willing to entrust this young, unproven writer with creating something really new in his world. During the crash course on Midkemia which he’d given himself in the few weeks before starting at Dynamix - like Cutter, he’d come to Feist fandom cold - Hallford had identified a twenty-year “hole” in the chronology where he and Cutter could set a new story: just after A Darkness at Sethanon, the concluding volume in the original Riftwar Cycle that had started the ball rolling. It would be better, he thought, to set a brand new story there, one that would let Feist’s many fans meet up with old friends in familiar locales, but that wouldn’t force them to step by rote through a plot they already knew. Here are a few sample paragraphs: The biggest appeal of the Midkemia novels, Hallford believed, was indeed the world itself, with its detailed culture and geography and its cast of dozens of well-established characters. And if you're curious about how a game like this could possibly work without becoming an incoherent mess, you should check out the latest post on The Digital Antiquarian blog that features a detailed retrospective review of Betrayal at Krondor, and briefly mentions its two sequels. It is also a game based on a series of novels that are in turn based on a D&D-inspired tabletop RPG. ![]() All other trademarks and trade names are the properties of their respective owners.Developed by Dynamix and published by Sierra On-Line back in 1993, Betrayal at Krondor is an ambitious CRPG designed to resemble an interactive fantasy book.

This on the other hand, was a prime example of a ridiculous 40-yard dash time proving to be a factor in measuring a player's ability. Fabian Washington (CB) - 4. There’s little doubt that under the type of conditions that the NFL players run the 40 at the combine, Bolt, who is retired at age 32, would surpass anything any of us have ever seen in the 40 yard dash. DeMarcus Van Dyke (DB) - 4.28 seconds (2011) Played in 5 games total, currently plays for the DC Defenders in the XFL FASTEST 40 YARD DASH EVER PROChamp Bailey (DB) - 4.28 seconds (1999)ġ3-time Pro Bowler, 3-time first-team All-Pro, Pro Football Hall of Famer Stanford Routt (DB) - 4.27 seconds (2005) Marquise Goodwin (WR) - 4.27 seconds (2014)Ĭareer-high 962 receiving yards with San Francisco in 2017 Played in 20 NFL games, mostly as a kick returner Rondel Menendez (WR) - 4.24 seconds (1999) 1 - John Ross III - 4.22 seconds Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III The fastest official 40-yard dash time ever recorded at the NFL Combine was by John Ross III. Chris Johnson (RB) - 4.24 seconds (2008)ģ-time Pro Bowler, 2009 Offensive Player of the Year, NFL record for yards from scrimmage in a season (2,509 in 2009) : Former Alabama star Henry Ruggs III ran a 4.27 40-yard dash to join the list in 2020. Here are the 14 players with the fastest 40-yard dash times in combine history. Ross set a record of 4.22 seconds in 2017 and was selected ninth overall in the first round by the Cincinnati Bengals. The 40-yard dash has long been the premier event at the combine, and a solid performance by a wide receiver or a defensive back in the 40 can have a significant impact on their draft stock. The NFL now provides specific speeds on different in-game play types with their Next Gen Stats. The question of the validity of that number is up for debate. Members of the NFL Draft Class of 2020 will race against the clock this week in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine, where the fastest draft prospects in the class will attempt to match or break John Ross’ all-time record in the 40-yard dash. It is reported that Bo Jackson ran his 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.13 seconds in 1986, making him the fastest of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() We present three of the most important types of propulsion and describe advantages and disadvantages. What are the advantages of shaft systems, so-called sterndrives and a pod, specifically: the IPS system from Volvo Penta? SeaHelp gives an overview.Īnyone who wants to move on the water under motor, can not avoid a few thoughts about the type of drive of the particular motor yacht (or the built-in machine for sailing yachts). In addition to the size of the yacht, the type of use and performance, the buyer should also consider the various types of drive available on the market before making the purchase in order to avoid disappointment later on. The electric boat effort is mostly comical at this point.Whoever wants to buy a motor yacht is often faced with the choice of the right drive. I covered the reasons hydrofoils don’t work well in powerboats and how bad these designs are in another article. And you’re seeing electric inboard designs that use hull designs that are woefully inefficient to showcase any of the advantages and electric motor can offer. We are seeing hydrofoils with electric outboards, an obvious non starter. There is a tiny industry of entrepreneurs that are trying to solve the electric power solution for boats and they make all of the mistakes you would expect. A mild hybrid system addresses all of those objections. #Inboard vs sterndrive fullThis is the biggest burdens for full electric adoption for marine use limited charging, limited range and huge cost disadvantage. Mild hybrids are not sophisticated and there is no charging necessary. For sterndrives of all kinds a mild hybrid really changes the conversation for efficient and quiet operation. At low speed in harbors, marinas and waterways you could run on pure electric power, only using the gas engine when underway. ![]() You could take a common 300 or 350 HP sterndrive V8 package and immediately add 20% more torque with reduced emissions. In a mild hybrid, the electric motor takes over as the starter generator, with a 48 volt system, offering electric assist at low speed and acceleration.įor boats, it makes tons of sense. ![]() #Inboard vs sterndrive seriesMild hybrids have been fully adopted in automotive as they are an affordable and efficient stop gap between full electric and more complicated series hybrid systems. In previous articles I have mentioned the idea of mild hybrid systems for use in more marine applications. But there is one area in the future that really might help sterndrives and it is mild hybrid technology. Obviously sales have fallen since outboards really took off about 10 years ago where the fishing and performance segments continue to dominate. I would say the tow boat, surf boat, luxury bowrider and larger luxury boats are really the key markets holding up the sterndrive sales. For that use case they are quite good and that is a significant market now. With that you get the ability to trim the drive while it’s fully submerged with counter rotating propellers for incredible thrust and control. Moving the propellor ahead, away from swimmers is safer. Design is an underappreciated aspect of sterndrives in general.Īs opposed to a V drive or direct drive inboard, the forward drive and 4S offer many of the benefits of a sterndrive with some of the advantages of an inboard. I know Mercury is trying to change that with the incredible Verado V12 but I’m not sure that works for more traditional luxury boaters. Boaters that are shopping in the luxury segment from small single engine luxury boats to serious luxury sport yachts are definitely considering the look of the boat and outboards don’t scream luxury. ![]() The quiet operation, smooth torque delivery and incredible array of power available are just a few of the benefits, along with the more sleek aesthetic. When it comes to luxury boats I believe there is no substitute for inboard or sterndrive technology. That said, when it comes to the marine market, is the future of sterndrive power in peril? Let’s take a look at the sterndrive market, where the technology is working now and where it is heading. Every party comes to and end and the boat party definitely will unfortunately. With boat sales at all time highs and outboard sales through the roof you have to wonder when the party ends. ![]() ![]() ![]() By placing a Color Control Point on any part of the image you wish to alter, and moving a few simple sliders, you can achieve incredible results in a fraction of the time required by other tools.

![]() ![]() A Smokestack, left unattended, will remove a lot of permanents. One of the first, best ways to have a Smokestack be truly great is to have a lot of extra permanents running around. Here are the best general ways to abuse the card. ![]() Keeping track of the proper pace of the Smokestack is a good skill to acquire. A quick note for those of you who don't realize this about Smokestack: you aren't required to add an extra counter every turn. If you'd like, every turn they'll lose yet more permanents than the turn before. As someone relentlessly loses cards to a Smokestack, they really do start to get frustrated. The cards that make people lose hope are the ones most likely to get me excited. (I'm only bragging about that because it's fun to rub in the sweet taste of victory on former State Champs who are past their glory days). I did okay, beating up on two former Wisconsin State Champions, Rob Castro and Jake Welch, in the process. I even got to play a Smokestack deck once in a tournament, a whopping 10 person event in Milwaukee's classic small-town Magic shop, the VGC. Smokestack was one of those cards I kept plugging away at. Plenty of great cards never have their potential realized, because they may have only been good for a week, or they may have only been good if something else didn't happen to exist. So it goes that many, many decks get sent to Deck Limbo, tossed into File 13 with rarely any hope that they'll see the light of day again. If you play in Block Constructed, say Odyssey Block Constructed, for example, it's quite hard to make a deck that doesn't include one of the following cards: Wild Mongrel, Psychatog, Mutilate, or Mirari's Wake. ![]() Most of the time, I make decks with an eye on tournament play, and there are a lot of inherent limitations on creativity when it comes to making those decks. (He and I talked on the phone about it and laughed at ourselves for all of the terrible choices we made as deckbuilders back then.) His deck is easily one of my favorite decks ever, even with all of its rough edges. Last week, when I talked about Pox, it was a special treat just to be able to mention Andrew Wolf's Pox deck. One of my favorite things about writing the Single Card Strategies column is to revisit some of my very favorite moments in deckbuilding. ![]() ![]() ![]()
