For the local community I've produced another issue of The Willsmere Whispers. Also locally attended the Melbourne Anarchist Bookfair and Workshops at the delightful surrounds of the Abbotsford Convent, which really is a location I must find more excuses to go to. This was a very well attended and vibrant event which included catching up with the delightful Paula (who had purchased a suitcase of books, compared to my single purchase of a study on John Anderson).
It contrasted well with the absolutely dire address at the Unitarians the following day where a handful of aging and irrelevant Stalinists engaged in a talk claiming that Kruschev and Gorbachev had betrayed the Soviet Union. The irony of running such an event on the fiftieth anniversary of the Berlin Wall was quite clearly lost on such rigid minds. The request that they at least considered the comments from the leaders of Unitarians in Eastern Europe who were repressed under such regimes didn't garner much sympathy. In way of a motivated response, I have written: Left-Wing Fascism: A Senile Disorder.
Finally, I have released a very late edition of RPG Review Issue 12. A history special issue, it almost became an item of history in its own right. Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with the content; my own contributions include an overview of historical RPGs, the use of Pendragon for the one thousand year history of the Britannia boardgame and a review of Deadlands, the horror-western RPG. The latter will make its way to rpg.net as well..
