RuneQuest) game in development for many years, but is looking at
publication this coming year.

RPG Review Issue 3
==================

Articles are being sought for the third issue of RPG Review
(rpgreview.net), please contact Lev for further information. We will be
including last year's GURPS Bunnies & Burrows game in this third issue
along with a review and results of our Credo: The Game of Duelling Dogmas
- congratulations are due to Michael's Church, 'The Shepherds of Nicea'
for achieving the most number of Church votes and followers in our January
game.


St Kilda Library
================

For those who don't know, the St Kilda library has a significant (100 plus
items) collection of roleplaying games under their "game books"
collection, mostly new items.

Select 'advanced' in the search and either use 'game books' as the
collection search or 793.93 for the Dewey number. All of the material
seems to be recent in the year 2000+ category, so don't expect to find any
old classics!
