The Revenant Society: Core BookRevenants: The Endless Loop Beneath the City is a tabletop roleplaying game which is inspired by the Powered by the Apocalypse system, which was originally developed by Meguey Baker and Vincent Baker. Like other PbtA games, you roll 2D6 for your Moves there are group Moves and character specific ones, that have success, partial success or miss. It's up to the Fate Weaver to determine what that means, but it could be resolved in the form of gained lost

Revenants: The Endless Loop Beneath the City is a tabletop roleplaying game which is inspired by the Powered by the Apocalypse system, which was originally developed by Meguey Baker and Vincent Baker. Like other PbtA games, you roll 2D6 for your Moves - there are group Moves and character specific ones, that have success, partial success or miss. It's up to the Fate Weaver to determine what that means, but it could be resolved in the form of gained/lost information, damage to your already fragile corpse, or adding Watchers to the board.

A game starts with a character selection. Your Revenant vaguely remembers their life, so character development and backstory are integrated into the experience. Revenants begin with a Playbook that gives an overall feel of who they might have been as a person. It is a co-operative effort for both the Fate Weaver and the Revenants to determine how that ties to the Shattering Event, and how it shapes the characters over the course of the game.

In each game, Revenants are trapped in a time loop of the same night (typically midnight to dawn). The game takes place over four of those time loops. They use their Moves to travel around the city, trying to remain unnoticed as they decompose, investigating as they go. Once there is a fixed event, it cannot change. This is a challenge for the GM a.k.a. the Fate Weaver. If the Revenants get to dawn, they reset to the moment of the first "wake up" with their memories of the previous nights intact, but not any acquired items or allies. You use the Loop Board to track your information and which time loop you are in. If you loop too many times, you are trapped, doomed to repeat the same loop forever.

The Fate Weaver will write out notes of the Events that happen during the game on the Loop Board. That way, all players will be able to see what has happened so far. The Loop Board also keeps track of the Watchers, what Loop number the players are on and what questions they will need to answer. They will also facilitate keeping track of all the relationships and NPCs (non-playable characters) using the Map of Intrigue. You can draw lines on the Map of Intrigue between NPCs and make notes so all players are aware of what is happening.

On rare occasions, a doorway to Limbo opens up and if a curious living being were to step through that door, they would dissolve into shadow, turning into a Watcher. They may go through the doorways between the living world and Limbo but cannot interact directly with either the living or the dead. Seeing a Revenant trapped in the Time Loop fills them with the greatest pleasure, because that's the only thing that's worse than being a Watcher. Watchers take on the form of a tracker on the Loop Board. When players succeed at using their Moves, rolling a 10+, place more Watchers on the events, with a maximum of four. While the living do not see Watchers, they are inclined to look at you more carefully, and as you have been decomposing for 10 days by now, that is most undesirable.

Comprehensive! The Bible of Deep Learning!
This book has by far surpassed my expectations! I have purchased many machine learning and deep neural network books in the past, but nothing has ever come close to this book! First of all, it is written by the fathers of Deep Learning, and is therefore an authority. Secondly, the book is broken into three parts: 1. A math overview and refresher. 2. Deep Learning applications and 3. Research in Deep Learning. I can't help but go through this book from front to back. It is a smooth read, and every sentence written is meaningful. These guys know their stuff! And after you read this book, YOU WILL ALSO know your stuff! If you feel daunted by the price, just remember, you get what you pay for! I'd say they could easily charge about $300+ for this book, but they are doing everyone a very kind favor by ONLY charging this reasonable amount. You get A LOT of bang for your buck with this purchase. I hesitated at first about buying this book because of the price, but I am soooooo happy that I did! Worth every penny! Look no further, get this book and start your Deep Learning journey!!

A rushed, poorly written guide of how the "experts" can't really explain what Deep Learning is
Format: Hardcover
This book, in every sense of the word, is rushed. I think the authors wanted to establish themselves as leaders of this young-ish field, but does so by sacrificing quality. It also shows that Deep Learning theory has been there for a long time, known by another name called Neural Networks. The interesting algorithms are of MLP, Back Propagation and the classical neural networks. The optimization methods such as Adam are the ones that are new and interesting, and the only ones worthy of in this book. So, essentially, what you get from this book is use A for X, B for Y and C for Z type of dry, un-intuitive, badly written waste of paper. As for the structure of the book, it's like an example of how not to structure a book. It has some linear algebra, probability at the start (not good enough, and confuses more people and wastes paper). Goes on to prove other algorithms such as PCA (yeah, ok!). Then, talks about how this architecture works for this and that architecture. So, yeah, if you really want to try out deep learning, don't buy this book. Set up Tensorflow/pytorch/ other library, run the tutorials, find an architecture for the problem you are interested in and start tweaking that. You will have far more fun and would have saved your money. The praise that this book gets is beyond me. Did Musk even read this book? I doubt it.

The classic textbook on Deep Learning
Format: Hardcover
Deep Learning is the promising direction towards general purpose effective artificial intelligence. There is an explosion of fruitful research in recent years and a lot of applications pursued mainly from technology giants as Google, Amazon, etc. and outstanding research institutions. The book "Deep Learning " by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Gourville, is an excellent piece of work. They manage to present rather difficult things in an understandable manner. The theoretical presentation is outstanding typical of "classic" books. Also, the book stays close to the practical applicability of all the methods and discusses applications extensively. There are a lot of other useful books on deep learning that follow a more practical approach by focusing on a particular deep learning software package, but this one book is certainly much more essential since it provides the required theoretical background in order to be able to do serious work on deep learning. I consider the book as "must have" for anyone that works on deep learning either in an academic or in an industrial environment.

100% Recommend
Format: Paperback
Invincible Compendium One completely lived up to the hype. From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the story, the action, and the character development. What starts off feeling like a classic superhero story quickly becomes something much deeper, darker, and way more emotional than expected. The artwork is incredible and the fight scenes are intense without feeling repetitive. Every character feels important and layered, especially Mark and Omni-Man. The pacing is excellent for such a massive collection, and it’s hard to put down once you start reading. If you’re a fan of superhero comics but want something with real stakes, shocking twists, and strong storytelling, this is absolutely worth reading. Easily one of the best graphic novels I’ve picked up in a long time.

This is the best purchase I’ve made in 2025!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I don’t even know where to start ever since I finished (in early August, 2025) the whole series of this comic. I have never been this much speechless in my life. It’s my first comic that I’ve ever read and finished it. I got into invincible through the TV show and I wanted to give a shot on comics because people said it’s even better than the show, and I was blown away just by the tv show until I started reading this. It didn’t matter how tired I would be and/or how busy I would be, but I’d still make time to grab and read at least some pages very excited. There are so many parts in this comics where it reflected on my personal life and somewhat opened my eyes of what I had and need to do in my life. It was really fun, exciting, loving, caring, sad and emotional story. This comic has a definitive beginning and a final, conclusive ending. I loved it overall despite where there were some boring parts, but it all made sense later in the main story. Very well developed characters, stories and art. Now whenever I pass by my bookshelf and I see these books puts big fat huge smile on my face. I’m glad I have it in my collection. I got to experience in this comic what I couldn’t in real life. Every other night in random or toughest moment I would think about what would mark do in this situation. Thank you for this masterpiece ❤️
