* Two cards from ''Illuminati: New World Order'' are very creepy after the 9/11 attacks. The Pentagon shows a mushroom cloud coming from the eponymous building. Terrorist Nuke shows a two-tower building that looks like the World Trade Center with an explosion near where the first plane hit.

* ''Unknown Armies'' has a published adventure titled "Fly to Heaven," in which an airplane is hijacked by a madman who plans to broadcast himself crashing the plane into the Sears Tower in order to [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend to the Invisible Clergy]] as the archetype of The Terrorist. Did we mention this was published in 1998, just three years before September 11th?
* The ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'' book "City of the Damned: New Orleans" has a sidebar that mentions if you ''really'' want to shake up the political structure of New Orleans, then much of the city is below the water line. Given the CrapsackWorld nature, odds are those levees would go down with one strong hurricane, no doubt raining destruction on the city and wiping out many of the elder vampires. The book was published in 2005, three months before Hurricane Katrina made landfall and did basically ''exactly'' what the writer of that sidebar predicted it would do, sans the vampires.
