Another Obscure S-List Writer
How can you not love a conspiracy setting whose first published adventure had the elevator pitch of “What if you woke up one morning and accidentally found that part of your life was missing? And found someone was willing to kill to keep you from getting it back? Kill you, that is…”
The idea was for 30 days to use a small set of sources picked according to Jeff Rient’s “Alchemical Proposal” to create an RPG setting from scratch. I never finished it, but I think I did make a few very creative elements. This is one of my favorites.
This past week was Star Trek day. I wrote about Star Trek in terms of genre and ownership, but Overlord DVD really captured what Star Trek means to so many of us.
