Good point, Wyrm. See, the truth is, only about four people on
ShadowRN or NERPS have even /seen/ this fabled NAGM. So, until FASA
releases it and we can go down and buy it at our favorite gaming shop, it
truly cannot be considered "official" or even "real."
For all we know, FASA will scrap the whole idea tomorrow. But
once it's in the usual softcover book form in front of us, it's real.

In reply to the NAGM question, it's still in playtest format and probably
won't be out until summer or fall. I know its real (in playtest) because I
have a copy. As to it being scraped,I highly doubt it. There's a lot of
new goodies (and baddies) in it.

Correction: *I'VE* seen it.

I've even read a couple of pages. And yes, it kills psionics
nicely.

But it's workable.

Don't worry.

I dont mean to sound like an idiot, but take my word for it - psionics
have no future if the stuff I read in NAGM gets published. To make a long
story short psionics is just another world view for FASA, albeit a somewhat
limited one.

That corresponds with what Tom Dowd told us. But it doesn't
matter; in this instance, we're prepared to ignore him. *grin*
Besides, it's all in your mind....

Hmmm. Well, Reave (Gee, Ward, I think you were a little hard on the
Reaver last night.... ;) ) perhaps you could be nudged to send all of
us little kiddies .net.copies? Yeah, yeah, it plays fast and loose with
the InterNet and copyright laws, but then again, anybody on here who
asks for one is liable to go out and buy the damn thing anyhow...

In reply to Ouroboros request of making net copies of the NAGM for
everyone, I wouldn't mind doing that, but I don't have a way to scan the
pages into my computer, so that means I would have to hand type them in.
I'll admit I pretty fast at typing, but not that fast, so I'm afraid that I
can't comply with that request. Sorry :(.

I will buy it when it comes out to find out the final revisions if I was to get
ahold of a beta test version (which I'm doubting will happen :>)
