 is an instance of synchronicity I would like to mention: the UA rules
system is very close to the rules system my gaming groups have been using
for years. It's on the internet if anyone wants to check
(http://homestead.deja.com/user.robin_pfeifer/home.html). It's not my
intention to accuse anyone of plagiarism (or being accused of such), but
the similarities are so numerous, at least for rules-light systems, that I
see it as an instance of two game designers having similar ides and getting
almost identical results.

As Charles Fort says "It steam engines when it's steam engine time."  I
can't read or speak German, so I didn't rip off your system: I ripped off
OTE and CoC.  

For my next trick, I'll rip off V:tM.

The Greek Underworld kicks ass. It's like "Six Flags Over Psychotic
Depression," and Cerberus is the Ultra Twister.
