Using the computer to generate NPCs is handy! I never tried Morrow Project but I'm looking up a link on it now--sounds fun! What issue of Dragon has the article on the D&D/GW crossover? I have a bunch of issues from about the 70s-100s plus Best Of 2-4; used to have earlier ones back to the 40s, but I don't seem to have those anymore, though I keep feeling like I should have them around buried somewhere. I did a little Star Frontiers when it first came out but not much. I always thought Top Secret looked interesting. Other ones I've enjoyed are Marvel Superheroes and Call of Cthulhu. I also like wargames, though I've only scratched the surface of that with Axis and Allies, Panzer Blitz, basic stuff like that. On the video rpg side I really like Neverwinter Nights.

I just got the issue out, it is Volume XVII (17), No. 2, the Jully 1992 edition. It has pictures of "giant space whales" with cities strapped to their backs which is set in the "Spelljammer" universe. There is an excellent article on where technology and magic meet and some tips on how to take technology into an AD&D world or vice versa. Also a good articles on ideas on how to use UFO's in your campaigns, it is like a nutshell of the various conspiracy theories and ideas on how to use them in any campaign from AD&D to Top Secret to Twilight: 2000 and so on.

There is another game that was made by the Twilight: 2000 people, "Dark Conspiracy," that is sort of like a cross between "X-Files" and "Rollerball" on steroids where your characters basically fight monsters and demons that have come to our universe from another dimension. I'm into the Morrow Project too where you characters are frozen so you can wake up after a nuclear war (or some other catastrophe) to rebuild the US and Canada, I was always fascinated by that genre.

Computer games, I like the Final Fantasy games for my Playstation and Diablo/Diablo II for the PC.
