I am still going through all of the materials that I picked up while at Gen Con. Recently I found a stack of books that I bought, skimmed through and set aside when I returned home. One of these books, " Into the Black: A Guide to Below" from Bastion Press, appears to be money well-spent.

Recently I asked the titular question on Twitter and Facebook. Everyone must be too busy playing RPGs to reply as I have only received three responses and one of them was in regards to rocket propelled grenades; I guess I should have been more specific.
Recently Stan Lee – yes, that Stan Lee – wrote a letter defending video games and cites similarities with the witch hunt going on in the comic book industry half a century ago. What does this have to do with RPGs? Read on and find out.
I am in the process of writing a script (for the setting, the actors will be doing improv) in preparation for my first run of Directors Cut: Survival Horror. My wife has just finished with her residency at a hospital in another city, so that gives me a couple of weeks to work on the script while she unpacks and gets settled back in.
While at Gen Con last week, I was privileged to attend a presentation on an RPG called "Directors Cut: Survival Horror" hosted by its creators Amy and David Claxton. The developers intend on releasing other genres, which is why the name has a sub-title; so, if horror isn’t your thing, keep an eye open for other offerings. Directors Cut has a novel concept, and is quick to learn, so I anticipate it taking off really well.
