Baseball Card Adventures - Babe and Me
Did he call his shot or didn't he? Witnesses never agreed. Like other baseball fans, Joe Stoshack wants to know the truth. Joe Stoshack and his father Bill travel back to 1932 and catch Babe Ruth's called shot in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs.
If you want to include a little magic with your modern-day adventures, I -highly- recommend this book. There is some great background material here on Voodoo, as well as some fantastic material on the "Shadow War" between things of the fantastic and things of the "real" world. You'll be wondering whether this could really be true by the time you finish this book. I'd like to see a well-run GURPS: Voodoo campaign just to see how close it would be to "X-Files".

It's Okay To Be Different
Parr (The Okay Book) combines rainbow colors, simple drawings and reassuring statements in this optimistic book. His repetitive captions offer variations on the title and appear in a typeface that looks handcrafted and personalized. A fuchsia elephant stands against a zingy blue background ("It's okay to have a different nose") and a lone green turtle crosses a finish line ("It's okay to come in last"). A girl blushes at the toilet paper stuck to her shoe ("It's okay to be embarrassed") and a lion says "Grr," "ROAR" and "purrr" ("It's okay to talk about your feelings").

Fantasy (Roleplaying Game)
Fantasy is the most popular genre for roleplaying games. Now GURPS offers roleplayers a comprehensive guide to fantasy worlds of all kinds. Building on the flexible, streamlined Fourth Edition rules, GURPS Fantasy lets you create a campaign to explore the world of your favorite book or film - or your own dreams. You'll find examples of magical plants and animals, unique monsters, nonhuman races, occupations, spells, and enchanted objects, ready to use in your campaign - or to use as inspiration for your own inventions.
Oh, how delightful it is to fall in love for the first time! How exciting to go to your first dance when you are a girl of eighteen! But life can also be hard and cruel, if you are young and inexperienced and travelling alone across Europe . . . or if you are a child from the wrong social class . . . or a singer without work and the rent to be paid.
Set in Europe and New Zealand, these nine stories by Katherine Mansfield dig deep beneath the appearances of life to show us the causes of human happiness and despair.
