Some RPG Links now (as if I blog anything else…):
Kenneth Hite’s top ten list of in-print GURPS source books, from October 1997, worth comparing to S. John Ross’ Best Of GURPS books list.

Also digging through the corpse of Mania magazine, I found this 1997 interview with Steve Jackson (on GURPS, obviously – pretty light reading…), and an article by Steve Jackson presenting GURPS.

All these finds were spawned by an RPG.net thread asking people’s opinions about GURPS, part of a “Best of the Forums” collection.

How Many Jews Did Hitler

How Many Jews Did Hitler Kill?, By William Markiewicz – The author speculates that Jews were much more prevalant in Europe before WWII then the official records show. I found the whole article evocative and filled with thought-provoking bits, from the line about Alexander’s Jewish Archers, to the bit about Frankists converting to Catholicism and adopting surnames based on the months of the year (like Mars and December).
