Tim Powers interview on Rpg.net
A reprint on rpg.net of an interview with Tim Powers:
No, I’ve never done any gaming! Of course I know lots of people involved in it, and I love Kenneth Hite’s books — I know they’re for gamers, but they seem to have been written for me. I guess I’m afraid that if I got into gaming it would totally absorb me, and I’d get no writing at all done.

Captain Cursor calls his D&D
Captain Cursor calls his D&D campaign style “Spellpunk“:
“My campaign has defiantly been spellpunk. Necromancers with barely anything on but the leather bondage gear, pierced orcs leading revolutions against the racist humans, and mages that seek to become posthuman in their distopian city. But I think that it’s just a general trend of the genre.”

Tastes Like Phoenix finally has
Tastes Like Phoenix finally has another new review up. This is a cool site with some good gaming articles which went into a coma shortly after I discovered it. The nice thing about their reviews is that they aren’t really aimed at people who ask themselves “should I buy this book?”: They’re aimed at people who ask “well, I bought this book, what on Earth do I do with it?”.
The new review is of Harlequin, an 8 adventure campaign set for Shadowrun. It’s fascinating to read even if you don’t play Shadowrun or ever intend to. It’s aimed squarely at a GM and explains how to run those 8 adventures, what parts are weak, what can go wrong and how to fix any problems before they occur. Along the way, it’s a lesson on adventure plotting and the handling of encounters and NPCs.
