Yeah that was a really nice nod that surprised me. I can't recount how many hours I spent playing that Unearthly (100) game.

Or was it Shift X? I may need to dust off my boxed sets....

Which novel was the reference in?

Butcher is a Marvel fan - and I've the "I'm a disciple of the Tao of Peter Parker, obviously." quote.

It's in the Your Story book for the rpg, not in one of the novels.

I also read in the recent game trade magazine that Jim Butcher is a Birthright DM.  It's my all time favorite DnD setting.  Mavel, Birthright?  I think I'm suddenly realizing why I like all this Dresden stuff.
