Satoshi Kon and Sadayuki Murai. An interesting anime, well worth
seeing, though I suspect it would have been better had I some
familiarity with Japanese film history.</p></li>

<p>It was recently <a class="reference external" href="http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=142503">announced</a> that Arthaus
Publishing, the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.white-wolf.com/">White Wolf</a> imprint,
had purchased the rights and back stock of the <em>Pendragon</em> Aurthurian
roleplaying game from Peter Corless of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.greenknight.com/">Green Knight Publishing</a>. Stewart Wieck <a class="reference external" href="http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=2816416&postcount=7">confirmed</a> that they
<em>would</em> selling the existing and also developing new projects that
would keep the current rules, with perhaps some tweaking. James Lowder
of Green Knight <a class="reference external" href="http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=2818869&postcount=40">confirmed</a> that
Arthaus will have access to all the unpublished works that have been
written for Pendragon, so perhaps we'll finally get to see some of
them.</p>
<p>I find this very encouraging; Arthaus has the resources to support
<em>Pendragon</em> and they seem to have produced some reasonably good books.
I'm looking forward to seeing new Pendragon materials.</p>

interesting to note that it's not just more of the same as the first
movie. Most of what little story there is in the two movies is in this
one, and more of the backstory is revealed. Worth renting.</p></li>

<li><p><em>Lord John and the Private Matter</em>, by Diana Gabaldon; A Delacorte
Book, published by Bantam Dell, a division of Random House, Inc,
October 2003. This is the first of Gabaldon's novels about Lord John
Grey, and the first of Gabaldon's works that I've read. A historical
mystery set at the beginning of the Seven Years War, it takes a short
but sympathetic look in passing at the gay subculture of London. It's
a fairly good historical; I'll have to look and see what her other
books are like.</p></li>

<p>Chaosium seems to be trying to get things published in a more timely
fashion. Probably for cash-flow reasons (ever the bane of the small
RPG publisher) this seems to be reflected mostly in their Miskatonic
University Library Association Monographs series, which are digitally
produced small run publications in cardstock covers and tape bindings,
with all the editing and layout done by the authors. This should give
them an opportunaty to produce interesting works faster with minimal
costs, as well as give them a less risky venue for experimenting. I
hope it works well for them.</p>
<p>I haven't seen any of these yet, but several look interesting from
their descriptions:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><em>The First Book of Things</em>, by Michael C. LaBossiere. This looks
like a fun collection of creatures, technology, and magic.</p></li>
<li><p><em>Mysteries of Morocco</em>, by William Jones. A “civil, geographical,
cultural, political, and a Mythos tour of Morocco during the 1920s and
1930s”, covering several locations and including a scenario and
several maps.</p></li>
<li><p><em>Cthulhu Invictus</em>, by Chad Bowser, Andi Newton, and Deane P.
Goodwin. “Horror Roleplaying in Ancient Rome.” I presume from the
name that this involves the Cthulhu Mythos in ancient Rome, but I
think that you could easily find enough horror without it. <a class="reference external" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-6530607-2018313">Thomas
Harlan</a>'s <em>Oath of Empire</em> series would be good
inspiration for this, if rather later than what we normally think of
when talking about ancient Rome.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Interestingly, the <em>Player's Book</em> and <em>Magic Book</em> from <em>Runequest</em>,
3rd edition were available for a couple of days as the <em>BRP Player's
Book</em> and the <em>BRP Magic Book</em>, but were apparently removed after a
more plan for republishing them was conceived and put into motion. It
certainly would be interesting to see a <em>Runequest</em>-derived core RPG
published in the modern world. Of course, between <em>Call of Cthulhu</em>
and <em>Stormbringer</em> one already has all the necessary rules in print,
but it would be nice to see them all presented in one package, well
edited and integrated.</p>
<p>With the possibility of this and the actuality of the republishing of
the West End Games house system as a (more-or-less) generic system it
will be interesting to see how they succeed in the market against
existing universal systems such as <em>GURPS</em>, <em>Hero</em>, and <em>Tri-Stat</em>.</p>

<li><p><em>The Judgment of Caesar</em>, by Steven Saylor; St. Martin's Minotaur,
June 2004. The last three books or so books of Saylor's <em>Roma Sub Rosa</em>
series have struck me as more unhappy than usual; this one continues
in that vein until the unexpected end. Saylor's series remains my
favorite of the current batch of Roman mysteries, and this is a worthy
addition.</p></li>
