Epic Legacy is 2CGaming's Epic level expansion to 5th Edition. Following the tradition of older editions, we envisioned tiers of play above 20th level and brought them to life in the form of the successfully crowdfunded Epic Legacy Core Rulebook. After thousands of hours of development, play testing, and an awesome community at our backs, we delivered the ultimate Epic-level 5E experience which has received critical acclaim throughout the RPG sphere. This system empowers both Players and DMs to take their 5th Edition game to the literal next level, and hundreds of adventurers and DMs wove Epic tales of wonder and glory. With Epic Legacy you can advance PCs to 30th level through the awesome power of Epic Prestige classes that compliment every base class, cast world shattering spells, face down gods and monsters of incalculable strength, and many many more epic experiences that can't be found anywhere else in 5th Edition. That is why we knew we had to come back and push this awesome system even farther by creating the Epic Legacy Campaign Codex. This project seeks to both build upon the rules presented in the Epic Legacy Core Rulebook while providing 5th Edition gamers of all stripes a platform to launch their most epic campaign yet. Whether you are new to Epic Legacy or a grizzled veteran back for more, we welcome you to explore and share all this incredible system has to offer. At 2CGaming we are always trying to innovate on our presentation, so when we decided to expand upon the Epic Legacy system we knew we couldn't just an expansion. We needed something new, a worthy vehicle to deliver that not only empowered the reader with new Epic Legacy content, but upgraded its presentation and format. That vehicle is Nexus, The City of Legends; a campaign springboard that seamlessly integrates new content into its streets and people.

How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Technology advances are making tech more . . . human. This changes everything you thought you knew about innovation and strategy. In their groundbreaking book, Human + Machine, Accenture technology leaders Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson showed how leading organizations use the power of human-machine collaboration to transform their processes and their bottom lines. Now, as new AI powered technologies like the metaverse, natural language processing, and digital twins begin to rapidly impact both life and work, those companies and other pioneers across industries are tipping the balance even more strikingly toward the human side with technology-led strategy that is reshaping the very nature of innovation. In Radically Human, Daugherty and Wilson show this profound shift, fast-forwarded by the pandemic, toward more human—and more humane—technology. Artificial intelligence is becoming less artificial and more intelligent. Instead of data-hungry approaches to AI, innovators are pursuing data-efficient approaches that enable machines to learn as humans do. Instead of replacing workers with machines, they're unleashing human expertise to create human-centered AI. In place of lumbering legacy IT systems, they're building cloud-first IT architectures able to continuously adapt to a world of billions of connected devices. And they're pursuing strategies that will take their place alongside classic, winning business formulas like disruptive innovation. These against-the-grain approaches to the basic building blocks of business—Intelligence, Data, Expertise, Architecture, and Strategy (IDEAS)—are transforming competition. Industrial giants and startups alike are drawing on this radically human IDEAS framework to create new business models, optimize post-pandemic approaches to work and talent, rebuild trust with their stakeholders, and show the way toward a sustainable future. With compelling insights and fresh examples from a variety of industries, Radically Human will forever change the way you think about, practice, and win with innovation.
