Tales From The Floating Vagabond
Originally published in 1991, Tales from the Floating Vagabond was one of the first comedic RPGs.

The Cyborging Continues . . .
Sometimes living in the future has very personal benefits. I've known for a little while that my hearing was going. Last week I started wearing hearing aids. Very, very worthwhile. I know some folks resist them because of their association with age, but (1) Hey, breaking news, I AM OLD....
