"Lee was chosen by organisers as a symbol of the fight against ethnic divisions.

"'But one thing we all have in common is Bruce Lee.'
"Lee, who died in 1973 at the age of 32, was born in the US but moved to Hong Kong as a child.

Risus In Print
S. John Ross' rules very light RPG, Risus, is now available as a POD product through Lulu.com. A very interesting system, and S. John is a designer full of interesting ideas. It is ironic, though, that a six page RPG now comes in a 200 page edition.
If you haven't check it out yet, you should. The Risus homepage can be found here.
