			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After playing <a href="http://blacman.com/">Blacman</a>, here are a couple of games that will help you become more diplomatic and probably politically correct.</p>
<p>The first one is <a href="http://www.aforcemorepowerful.org/">A Force More Powerful</a> which is a strategy game in which you use diplomacy in order to avoid conflicts.  Unfortunately, I bet this kind of thing doesn&#8217;t sell very well and it does come at about $20.  Maybe after a while you&#8217;ll find it in the discount bin at your local tech store.<span id="more-76"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>AFMP is a single-player, turn-based game in         which the player takes on the role of chief strategist in a nonviolent movement         against the opponent in one of ten pre-packaged scenarios. As the player takes         charge of the movement’s materials and human resources, recruits new         members and builds alliances, the player also learns the value of strategic         planning, and the careful formulation of goals and tactics.</p></blockquote>
<p>The second one is <a href="http://www.food-force.com/">Food Force</a> which reminds me of Team America World Police.  This one sends you on a mission to aid starving people in India.  And best of all it&#8217;s free.</p>
<blockquote><p>A major crisis has developed in the Indian Ocean, on the island of Sheylan. We’re sending in a new team to step up the World Food Programme’s presence there and help feed millions of hungry people.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a proposal for magical teas in RPG games.  (I use original D&amp;D so bear with me.)  This is an idea that has been &#8220;brewing&#8221; in my head for a long time, and I&#8217;m finally making an effort to flesh out the details.</p>
<p>Magical Tea</p>
<p>Magical teas are dry herbal mixtures which can be stored for extended periods of time and used when needed.  Unlike potions, magical teas are not used during the heat of battle for a quick bonus.  Because they take some time to brew, and their effects usually take some time to come to fruition, they are generally used during an adventuring day and sometimes over long periods of time.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>A typical dose of magical tea is prepared by brewing 2 oz (or 50 grams) of tea in 8 oz (or 240 ml) of water.  This requires:</p>
<ul>
<li>The tea</li>
<li>The water</li>
<li>A heat source for boiling</li>
<li>Time</li>
</ul>
<p>A basic example of a magical tea:</p>
<p>Black Hill Tea</p>
<p>This magical tea is made from a secret collection of herbs and flowers gathered by the monks of the Black Hills.  Characters who drink this tea will gain 1d4 hit points over night.</p>
