Mastercard and Visa aren't FASA's fault. Can't really say the place's
location or traffic was, either.

On the other hand, I think FASA ought to know that their sales rep
wasn't at a fever pitch marketing the cards.

And, sigh, I would have to blame them for the turgid interest in the
game as well. Frankly, there aren't any other Boston players (nor for
the RPG either). A few more conventions on the calendar would help out
immensely...
