See the recently posted Amerindian Expansion (that *did* make it to the list, yes?)

"Re-sale" implies it was sold in the first place :) I'd go with ...

Or, for that matter, donate the copyright to FASA. However, I'm rather insistent that
the contributors for AEX get their fair share, too, on the copyright line, meaning we'd
end up with something like....

which is quite a mouthful.

Ahh. If they're net.cards, rarity doesn't matter: just download and print out ten zillion
Skwrks (I know where a JPG can be found). However, I've often found that - in playing
with my group - rarities *do* help; force a player to substitute a pre-existing card of
the
proper rarity in order to put the net.card in their deck. It's less a matter of
restriction
(*everyone* has a Remington 750 they can 'swap' for a Crazed Drone or Quetzlcouatl) but
an educational process -- which cards, really, balance against which other ones (and why
a Rem750 isn't worth a Killer Drone).
>Anyway let me klnow waht everyone thinks..
I say go for it: I know Mike and Jim like the Amerindian set, and its something to focus
on until Corp War gets released. It'll take a while for everyone to get used to the cards
(and the more feedback I get, the better - nudge) but I think there's a lot of fun waiting
in
the set.
