Remember that
Underworld movie
I mentioned?
Well, White Wolf (publisher of the
Vampire: The Masquerade and other
PRGs) is
suing
Sony over the movie, claiming it rips off their universe. White Wolf has
identified
61
common points between the two works. In particular, they claim that
Underworld rips off a short story set in the While Wolf universe called
"The Love of Monsters". I've actually read that short story (my friend
Justin is into
Vampire and he has the book). It's pretty decent, if
gothic horror is your sort of thing.
Is White Wolf right? Maybe, maybe not. I doubt the similarities are
entirely coincidental, but should White Wolf have a
monopoly on
vampires versus werewolves?
I just had to write an author bio for an article I wrote. Ugh! I hate
writing bios. It's even harder than doing a resume. How do you make
yourself sound good without sounding arrogant or like you are trying too
hard? I think everyone else has the same problem, because whenever I read
the bio of someone I know, I laugh.
