Hey folks, you can now purchase the long awaited Fantasci, a science fantasy setting for Modern20, at the RPGObjects superstore!
It will also soon be available at RPGNow/DTRPG/OBS soon. I'll drop a line when that happens as well. Though buying from us is preferred because, uh, we get more of the money.
There's two books available now for the setting, with a third on the way.
First, there's the Gazetteer of Aurianis, the free guide to the home setting for Fantasci.
Second, there's the character building guide, with new occupations and feats, as well as a Modern20 Magic System.

Alexander was Great, not Greek
I bet Greek people who play Civ IV were happy to see Pericles added in the most recent expansion, Beyond the Sword.
That's because, unlike Alexander the Great, the first leader, Pericles is like, you know, Greek.
Having Alexander be the leader of Greece makes as much as sense as having Julius Caesar be the leader of the Celts or having Alexander be the leader of Persia and Egypt.
Alexander might have been born King of Greece (cause his father had conquered them) but he was no more Greek than Stalin was Polish.

Who I'm watching
I give a lot of thought to the industry, especially on the PDF, and as I've been thinking, my thoughts have been wandering to a few companies in particular.
I watch each of these guys for something they do that I wish I did as good as them.
Green Ronin: For the management team. As Gaorge Bush once said, they've got that vision thing.
Ronin Arts: They've slowed down considerably because Phil is running the world these days, well ok, he's running the Free World (TM) but why quibble. Still, this is consistently the company that made me go "I wish I'd thought of that".
New formats, new genres, new product types, always trying new things.
The Le Games: Advertising. No one works harder to get their products into people's heads than these guys. In fact, it was one of their recent marketing efforts that sparked the train of thought that sparked this post.
And if that isn't meta enough for you, go... I don't know, somewhere more self-referential than here.
