Bosnia unveils Bruce Lee bronze
Bosnia unveils Bruce Lee bronze
"A bronze of martial arts legend Bruce Lee has been erected in the Bosnian city of Mostar - a day before a second statue of him is unveiled in Hong Kong.
"The life-size 1.68 metre statue depicts the Chinese-American actor in a typical defensive fighting position.
"Hong Kong unveils its own statue of the kung-fu star on Sunday, at a ceremony to be attended by Lee's widow Linda.
"The Mostar unveiling was attended by the ambassadors of China and Germany, both of whom assisted the project.
"The city witnessed fierce fighting between rival ethnic factions in the 1992-95 war.
"Symbol
"It remains split with Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Serbs still deeply divided.
"Lee was chosen by organisers as a symbol of the fight against ethnic divisions.
"'We will always be Muslims, Serbs or Croats,' said Veselin Gatalo of the youth group Urban Movement Mostar.
"'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.
"The statue there will be unveiled on what would have been the Enter the Dragon star's 65th birthday."

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.

GURPS Powers
This is something that I want to plug for a couple of reasons. First, it is going to be a kick-ass book. Finally, with Fourth Edition, GURPS is able to handle super-powered characters. Second, I get my first GURPS Playtest credit in this (check the Table of Contents preview) which is pretty darn cool for me.
My first "professional" attempt at becoming a game designer was back in 1986. After seeing a "want list" for proposals (back in Roleplayer, the zine for GURPS that SJG originally published) for the first edition of GURPS Supers, I sent in a proposal. It was awful and, rightly so, I received a rejection letter about it. It was a personal rejection from Steve Jackson though, which I actually thought was pretty cool.
If you haven't yet, you really need to check out GURPS 4e
, it is the best version of the system to date.
GURPS Powers
"Save the World . . . or Destroy It!
"GURPS Powers is the ultimate book for the ultimate characters in the new Fourth Edition of GURPS! Here's everything you need to create every kind of amazing, off-the-chart superhero you can imagine . . . as well as amazing wizards, wuxia fighters, shamans who command spirits . . . even gods!
"Written by GURPS Line Editor and Fourth Edition co-author Sean Punch, GURPS Powers introduces some new rules, but it is mostly about using the rules that are already in the GURPS Basic Set to cover superpowered characters, megawizards, and earth-shattering psionics. GURPS Powers also include guidelines for 'special effects' and several different ways to vary a power on the fly -- two crucial concepts for comic-book superheroics.
"GURPS Powers is a Fourth Edition GURPS book that completely replaces the Third Edition books GURPS Supers and GURPS Psionics. Like our other Fourth Edition supplements, it's a gorgeous 240-page, full-color hardback.
"If you've got a high-powered campaign . or high-powered players . you want GURPS Powers!"
