Reviewer Review'd

[princeofcairo]

There are so many things I should be writing reviews of right now, not least for a much-belated "Out of the Box," that instead I'm writing a Suppressed Transmission about the King of the Cats. (Don't go blaming me, it was Nancy's idea.) While delighting me to no end, it does leave you, my gentle LJ readership, somewhat bereft-ish. "What did Ken

Hello, Mr. Hite.

I had really enjoyed your Suppressed Transmission columns in the past, but am no longer sufficiently interested in the rest of the stuff offered in Pyramid to justify its cost. I did buy the Suppressed Transmission book; have any further volumes been published? If not, is there any way to get your ST beside re-subscribing to Pyramid?

Thanks in advance.

There are two volumes of Suppressed Transmission collections currently available from Steve Jackson Games; we continue to discuss future volumes every so often, although there aren't any concrete plans as of now.

Likewise, as of now, the corpus of uncompiled "Suppressed Transmission" is legally available solely through paid Pyramid subscription. Even if I were to move the column to another site, the exclusive electronic rights to the already-published columns would remain with Pyramid. By now, of course, there's something like five years of uncompiled columns on the site, which strikes me as a pretty good value for $20 or whatever a subscription is at the moment.

Hah! These delayed reviews still give me the opportunity to get my own Pulp Hero review in first.

Glad to hear how the tour went. I do need to get myself up to Chicago some day. Good luck with the Spring tours. Have you gotten any media coverage?

When I first heard of the Occult Architecture Tour, I drooled. I really can't think of a better way to spend a day then being thrust deep into the occult weirdness of a place by experienced ghosthunters (I'm using "ghosthunter" in the widest possible way). Sadly, even though John Tynes at least would be close enough, I really don't have that sort of money to spend.

*Sigh*

It does occur to me that Victoria, BC, would be another excellent place for such an excursion. We're the "Satanic cult capital of the world," have our own sea monster, was the city that sparked the Satanic cult-scare of the 1980s, and supposedly there are a series of tunnels underneath the city that take the shape of a pentagram and are used for dark rituals. Oh yeah, and Aleister Crowley stopped by for a few days at the beginning of the twentieth century, and stayed in the house of a former German aristocrat.

One of these days, I'll need to do my own private excursion to study the occult underbelly of my home.
