Kinda like how heavy metal encourages suicide and glam rock encouraged bisexuality? Like how both glorified partying and rebellion for rebellion's sake? Like how country music encourages line dancing and glorifies inbeeding? Like how the blues did all of the above, back in the '20s and '30s? (Well, maybe not the line dancing or inbreeding, but...)
Get real. There isn't one form of music out there that hasn't rubbed someone the wrong way, and then they went out and said it was a sign of the end times, etc. They were wrong, and the new naysayers have it all sideways about rap, too.
And if there's too much of it on the radio for you, turn it off, or invest in a CD player. If this game's not for you, I'm sure Jason has plenty of others that are more up your alley.

Feh. Rap sucks, it glorifies violence, encourages greed and hypocrasy...
That is, unfortunately, the popular although gross generalization.

It's going well. The core mechanic has been tested and tweaked and I'm constantly adding cool stuff to the cosmology. I'm still really psyched about Wyrd is Bond. It's funny, because WiB and Modern Myths share some influences so players will be able to see where the systems overlap. I like to think of WiB as an abstraction of the Modern Myths world, in a way.
Overall, it's good good stuff.

Glad to hear it! It's always a good sign when the creator is psyched up about his work.
Interesting to hear that the two games overlap. Did you do what I did recently, that being set aside something cool from Modern Myths and have it blossom into Wyrd is Bond on it's own? Ain't it freaky when something like that happens?

Actually WiB and MM sprang from two entirely different sources and the realization that they had any overlap was a fairly recent event. But I do know what you're talking about and, yes, it is quite cool when that happens. ;)

Is this game also scheduled to be discussed further on April 7th, along with (I hope) Modern Myths?
The time draws near...any hints, any tasty morsels for those of waiting
sooooo
patiently?

On April 7th I'll reveal Key 20's plans up until the end of 2004. Some things are still in the air so I don't want to drop any hints that may prove premature.

Just a quick poke in here to say that I got to playtest an early version of Modern Myths, and an early look at WiB, and both are way cool. :-)

And of course, you just
HAD
to torture me with that information, didn't you Mr. Webb? Just
had
to let me know that someone else got a look at two games I'm very eager to play before I did. Just
had
to give the knife of anticipation a little twist.
If I didn't like Cartoon Action Hour, I'd write you into a game of
FATAL
as a spellcaster being forced to endure
EVERY ONE
of the spell misfire mishaps.
Well, that and the fact I'm probably going to get a playtest copy of Nine Worlds. And that writing you into a game of FATAL would require me to actually read it. And...oh, never mind!

ok, figured i'd share this to encourage Jason...
after listening to the album for the umpteenth time, i finally realized "hey, this reminds me of some good music to set the mood for either of Jason's games".
the band is The Transplants. the album is a self-titled debut...came out like a year ago. Do yourself a favor and check them out...i esp. think "Diamonds & Guns" and "D.J. D.J." are pretty appropriate for either game.
can't WAIT to read more info the games!

Thanks for the recommendation, Kreg; I'm always on the lookout for good music.
