"As I was dusting off some of these ideas in preparation for this month's
Round Table, Ms. Z dropped a gauntlet. "You've already designed those
games," she pointed out. "You should do something new. Something like The
Crying of Lot 49," she added, referencing one of my favorite, and most
re-read, novels. The very idea is utter and total madness. The challenge of
pre-imagining any Pynchon novel, much less this short treatise on paranoia
and hidden agendas, as a game is certain to drive any designer to the brink
of insanity."
