Last Friday night [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya and I ventured to the Corner Hotel to see the last ever show of The Stems, a 60s revivalist garage band who had some significant success in the 1980s and reformed in 2007 (following that?). They were aptly supported by the Huxton Creepers, along with The Dolly Rocker Movement and Even. It was an excellent show for aging alternative rocker types like ourselves, competently and energetically performed, although the couple standing behind us probably could have done with a hotel room.

The latest issue of RPG Review has been released which starts with a fascinating legal debate over our use of 'Young Gods' as the title of an article in the last issue (I'm sure some readers will love to get their teeth into this one), industry news from Mingshi, an interview and artworks by Dan 'Smif' Smith, a review of the New Worlds of Darkness series plus a scenario for the same, a retrospective review of Swordbearer and Heroes of Olympus plus a scenario for both game systems based on the Odyssey, a GURPS Transhumanists plus Time Travellers campaign, languages in GURPS, travel and transport in Paranoia, reliance on NPCs, Metagaming, Anachronisms and Diegesis, a review of Fallout 3, a review of the movie District 9, and, of course, advice and help from Lord Orcus himself!

I'm speaking tomorrow at the Melbourne Atheist Society on "Atheist Support for Religious Freedom?" which promises to discuss the hard issues, not the easy ones. In my absence the Unitarian Philosophy Forum discussed "Death and Existence" which I provided an outline for the discussion. Tickets now available for the 2010 Rise of Atheism convention in Melbourne which features Richard Dawkins, Phillip Adams, Peter Singer and P Z Myers.
