With just under three weeks to go, I am feeling quietly confident that everything is falling into place for the Cyberpunk 2020: Year of the Stainless Steel Rat convention, now with Fraser Simons, Rick Wayne, and Stephen Dedman as confirmed speakers. It will be quite a good way for the RPG Review Cooperative to end the year, especially that circumstances prevented us from running a RuneQuest Glorantha convention this time.
On related activities, RPG Review 48: Supernatural Places and Beings has finally been released, horrendously late, but here nonetheless. My own contributions includes reviews of To Hell and Back, In Nomine, Little Fears, and LexOccultum, plus an article on metaphysical-medieval perspectives on Incubi-Succubi with stats added for Ars Magica. Plus, I've had an old review on the Mongoose edition of Traveller posted on rpg.net; a few more sf classics will follow soon.
In actual play this weekend I ran a session of Eclipse Phase which saw the PC Proxies beat a hasty retreat from organised defenses of the European Union TITAN supercomputer in Stuttgart, complete with 22nd-century version of Mercedes Silver Arrows. It followed from an evening visiting Brendan E., where he treated us to more additions to my woeful lack of experience in popular culture include several episodes of Zomboat!, which frankly has brilliant narrative escalation and characterisation on a super-cheap budget, along with the light oddball charm of a kitten in the midst of criminal gangs with Keanu.
With the easing of social restrictions in Melbourne,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya actually ate out at a restaurant tonight for the first time in perhaps nine months or so. Mind you, it is the same restaurant where we get a regular Friday night pizza from, but still, it was a good experience. Engaging in such an activity mid-week was a bit of a necessity, after we'd had plasterers in today fixing the hole in the ceiling that's been there for four years (it wasn't causing any harm). Although Mac the Cat is rather disappointed that his escape hole (left by a previous plumber) in the BIRs is no longer available.
