RPGnet: Review of The World of Synnibarr
"Contrary to my expectations, the World of Synnibarr did not suck all of the flesh off of my face, leaving behind only a screaming skull. It did not rape my other gaming products, leaving them pregnant with “neomods”, McCracken-speak for something as simple as a gaming module. It did not shoot twin streams of hydrochloric acid into my eyes, nor did it squat on my chest and stare at me when I was trying to sleep."

Why Vote Cthulhu?
On Homeland Security:
Who would mess with Cthulhu? 'nuff said.
On Foreign Policy:
Our candidate routinely meets with an asian special interest group called the "Tcho tcho". The word "leng" has been heard mentioned many times, and that's the chinese word for "cool"!!
On Mental Health:
Many of you have asked: "What Would Cthulhu Do, if voted into office?" The anwser is: Drive Everyone Mad and Eat Them...
On the Economy and the Environment:
Great Cthulhu has solutions for unemployment and protecting the environment, for after Cthulhu eats half the world's population there will be plenty of job openings and urban sprawl will be a thing of the past.

Wired 12.09: The Giants of Anime are Coming
The giants of anime are coming, huh? Boy, Wired sure is on the cutting edge of this one. Thanks for telling us, guys. Can't wait for GitS II though.
Wired 12.09: The Giants of Anime are Coming
"The story has become Hollywood legend: In the mid-1990s, veteran producer Joel Silver met with two brothers. A little-known writer-director team, they were pitching an idea that Silver just couldn't wrap his head around. Finally they showed him Ghost in the Shell, a 1995 full-length Japanese cartoon by Mamoru Oshii. 'We want to make a live-action version of this,' they said. Ghost was like no cartoon Silver had ever seen. Rather than the family-friendly fare conjured up by the word animation, it was a violent tale about a futuristic world where people are so entangled with computers that nobody knows who is human and what is real. Quickly grasping its appeal, Silver gave the brothers the thumbs-up to produce a movie about a futuristic world where people are so entangled with computers that nobody knows who is human and what is real. The brothers were named Wachowski; their movie was called The Matrix."

David A. Spitzley's Mythic Detroit
A developing Urban or Dark Fantasy setting built around Detroit. Since its relatively close to Cleveland, some of the magic may bleed back and forth. Perhaps as parts of a Triangle over Lake Erie.
Mythic Detroit
"If you say the name 'Detroit' to most people, they have very little idea there's more to the city than cars, Motown, houses that burst into flames on October 30, and (thanks to His Eminence Marshall Mathers) the presence of a road named 8 Mile.
"As you might expect, this page is intended to rectify this somewhat. I won't be pointing out mundane stuff like the Renaissance Center, Ford Field, or any other elements of the recent downtown building boom. Personally, I'm much more interested in the odd, the whimsical, the 'What the Hell?' factor. Every city has it, and Detroit, a major metropolis during the first half of the 20th century, has at least its fair share."
