caseopaya and I. That evening was a simple and pleasant affair of a homecooked meal (braised chicken maryland) and enjoyment of each other's company. The following night however we decided to spend at night at the Rendezvous Melbourne, which is certainly has some beautiful art noveau features. Yes, there is silliness in spending an evening in a hotel approximately 7 kilometres from home, but it was enjoyable silliness just the same. We kept a bottle of Moët in reserve for tonight, being the end of the 13th b'ak'tun, in accordance to the old Mayan calendar (and issue I spoke about some three years ago).
Also, because the stars are right, I have finished a review of Call of Cthulhu, which does point out its brilliance and some oft-overlooked flaws; it will find itself on RPG.net soon. On a related matter, have picked up a small mountain of gaming material which should keep me going for a year of two. In other writings, the Isocracy website has reprinted and added a couple of quotes to an excellent article by Matt Barsan on the limitations of the "anarcho"-capitalist position of voluntaryism. I am less convinced by the psychological approach by William Hathaway on the inevitability of war.

The small mountain of Star Wars material is making me think about running that game however. I'm partially inspired by a thread on rpg.net
I haven't looked in the Batman game, but I have played DC Heroes (and reviewed it) which had a fairly good system. It had some issues with granuality, and I thought the open-ended method could lead to, well, superheroic actions. But that was quite acceptable for the genre.
