  • Novus Entertainment

    Novus Entertainment (commonly known simply as Novus) is a Canadian telecommunications company providing television, digital phone, and high-speed Internet services via a fibre optic network. The company is licensed by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (the CRTC) as a Class 1 Broadcast Distribution Undertaking for both Metro Vancouver and Toronto. Novus presently provides services to apartments, condominiums, and businesses in Metro Vancouver. Novus is one of the few broadband Internet carriers in Canada to offer a Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB) network. The company continues to expand its service in Metro Vancouver.

    Novus is also in the business of leasing dark fibre to other communications service providers and to businesses.

    Internet

    In July, 2011, Novus announced its 300 Mbit/s Internet service, claiming to be “Canada’s fastest Internet service” to go into effect July 2011. Due to its use of Metro Ethernet rather than DOCSIS or DSL technology, the carrier allows a direct RJ-45 connection into a wall jack, circumventing the use of a modem.

    Novus (role-playing game)

    Novus is a fantasy role-playing game created by Tim Dugger for Firehawk Games (FHG).

    Background

    Novus is designed to be a fun, flexible system giving players more control over character creation than many similar role-playing games. The approach was focused on a balance between player control and Game Master control of the game. Other design goals include easy modification of the rules without concern about upsetting game balance.

    System

    Novus is available in PDF and print forms. It is 128 pages long with 6 main chapters and an appendix.

    Basics

    Novus uses a 2d10 dice mechanic. Each die is both explosive and implosive. Explosive means that rolling a 10 on the die allows for an additional roll and adding its result to the previous total, continuing as long as 10s are continued to be rolled. Implosive means that if a 1 is rolled on a die, that die is rolled again and subtracted from the previous total. As long as 1s are continued to be rolled, this continues. If one die rolls a 10 and the other rolls a 1, this is called a Nova Roll, and the explosive/implosive numbers cancel each other out, and are read as simply 11. Other things, such as the gaining of a Fate Point also happens on a Nova Roll.

    by: Santana

    I've been searching for freedom
    I've been looking for someone
    In the dreams of my heart, I see your face
    Calling me into the light
    You're the vision of beauty
    You're so radiant and lovely
    I just can't believe you're here with me
    Your touch is my ectasy - my love
    Looking into the future
    We can see the beginning
    Children living in peace and harmony
