A Game of Thrones.

Everyone and their mother told me I should read it. Now it holds the dubious distinction of being the only novel ever that I've so thoroughly disliked as to put it down without finishing.

What Does Psionics Mean to You?

I'm going to have to disagree with a lot of the other posters. For me a lot of the appeal of psionics (as a player) is that it *feels* different than magic. I honestly don't think I would be at all interested in a system that made powers work just like spells. Note that I'm not arguing against psionics-magic transparency, which I think is good, but allowing the psionics mechanics to feel like their own thing, rather than reskins of the sorcerer or wizard.
