They say that the horrors in New Orleans are unimaginable. Yet they were imagined 30 years ago by Samuel Delany in the story Dhalgren. Read the full story.

I had a chance to page through Spycraft 2.0 yesterday at Barnes & Noble (yes, B&N -- I was stunned that they actually carried any RPG books, let alone a new one like this). It's a hefty book, and after a quick glance at the table of contents and reading about the design philosophy, I do like where it appears to be headed. It looks to be more streamlined and cohesive, with less of the time-consuming paperwork associated with stuff like gearing up.

If I can swing it, I'll definitely be picking it up, and heck, maybe I'll even use it as the engine to re-launch my stalled Spycraft campaign.
