Which is fine - because I wrote a scenario for the book. The book cover can already be seen on the internet. And it has my name on it ( among some others ).

Neat! Tell us more about it.
A game I was working on last Summer/Fall required a universal clock that would increment time forward for the entire universe of players at the same time (i.e. time advances for all payers at the same rate and at the same time) The sweep daemon we created to perform this task (wait, wake up, advance time, trigger events, sleep) was called Cthulhu for a very long time.
Speaking of poetry and stuff, the CEO of the company that laid me off last year has completed the sale of the Company (All Praise The Company). He got an ~$12M payout for his trouble and posted/tweeted a haiku on his last day:
Financial crisis
Stalled too many customers
CEO no more
At the time I composed a alternative farewell haiku for him:
Screwed your employees
Screwed all your customers too
Left with a bonus
I'm a haiku poet!
It's been a long, loooong time since the Lovely Mrs. DzM or I did actual role-playing gaming (though I suspect the Lovely Mrs. DzM does still have a leather bag full of dice somewhere, and I recently found a big stash of AD&D and AD&D 2nd Edition books buried in a closet).
