I'm going to be upgrading Nuketown to the latest and greatest version of Drupal at some point over the next two days (hopefully tonight, given that I've laid in supplies of Mountain Dew and fried chicken, and the family won't be home until late). I'm testing it on local version hosted by ye ol'PowerMac first, but if something unexpected happens when I update the live site, well, you've been warned.

Should the worst happen, and the site goes down, emergency updates will be posted to The Atomic Age, my Blogger backup blog.

The Libertarian Gamers Project is having a lively conversation about using the Star Wars campaign setting to run just about any type of game imaginable, from space opera to noir detective stories to medical dramas.

The idea that kicked off the hold discussion was Jay Hailey's proposal for an Age of Alderaan in which modern day adventurers find themselves in a galaxy far, far away.

The March 2007 edition of SF Site features reviews of the books Command Decision by Elizabeth Moon, Hardboiled Cthulhu edited by James Ambuhel, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch and my vote for the most amusing book title of '07, John Scalzi's You're Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop: Scalzi on Writing. Looking for a good book from 2006? Then check out the SF Site Best SF and Fantasy Books of 2006: Readers' Choice awards.

You'll also find a movie review of Ghostrider and the regular columns "Babylon 5.1" and "Geeks with Books".
