Well all the FASA people I talked to (and had my brother talk to ;) told
me that FASA had indeed dropped the EarthDawn line. However, that they
were looking to see if they could sell it to another company. When
I asked them how close they were to selling it, and how long would we
have to wait for an official anouncement, I was told that "They would
not know for some time" and that an official announcement would be made
when the time came... if it came.

On the EarthDawn mailing list, the person who first announced that it
was for sale said that the same friends in the gaming industry told
him that EarthDawn was sold this week. If this is true (and I hope
it is), then they had to have been close to a deal last weekend.

Originally, I hoped that this downplaying of information meant that
Corp War might still make it to Gen Con. However, I meet Gabe at
the Comicon and I now his sources are good, so I guess it has not even
gone to the printers yet. I know there are some uncut sheets lying
around somewhere, but those are probably just the play testing versions.
