    sp!ke, you are rapidly becoming my hero on this list, next to Greg
and John who invented the game in the first place. Not only is
Cronenberg sadly overlooked in discussions about surreality, but his use
in rpgs is generally minimal (discounting Over the Edge, which begs to
have Videodrome being broadcast from AXTC, and bad write-ups of Scanners
on alt.games.whitewolf.) But you singlehandedly came up with videomancy,
velocimancy, anarchomancy (I *think* it was you, anyway), and now the
bee people.

"Johnson, we wanted to have a talk with you. Please, sit down. Now,
don't take this the wrong way, but we just don't think you're fitting in
here...."

Also, for videomancy, you might want to check out a short story that
appears in the collection "Darkside: Horror for the Next Millenium"
called "& Thou Hast Given Them Blood to Drink..." It's about a group of
hell-bent videomancers on the side of Entropy broadcasting satanic porn
and using it to channel negative energy, which then motivates serial
killers. Or something like that. Hard to really say, as it appears they
had a drunken William S. Burroughs do the narative editing.

Keep it up!
