I review the psionic adventure and tool kit, If Thoughts Could Kill by Malhavoc Press, written by Bruce F. Cordell.

I enjoyed this review. I think I owned this book at one time, but I don't recall anything about it. It's cool to see someone going back and reviewing older material that may have passed some by.
Were the Ravers portrayed like real-world ravers, or is it just that Cordell used the term divested of that context? I think it's an evocative term, and most of the people I'd game with wouldn't be distracted by its real world connotation.
Have you seen Of Sound Mind, which is a psionic adventure from Fiery Dragon? I recall thinking it was well-done. It was written by Keven Kulp, who is the mod known as Piratecat at EN World. It appeared at roughly the same time as If Thoughts Could Kill, maybe a little beforehand.
Fiery Dragon also produced the Psionics Toolkit, written by none other than Mike Mearls in 2001, years before he worked for WotC. I've always had a neutral attitude about psionics, but this book really made me think of psionics in a positive way. It packed a wide variety of material into 55 pages.

Thank you.
The term 'raver' was used to describe essentially a hit team. For me, the chosen term is too distracting.
I haven't seen this products. I will have to hunt them down.
