Subject: [FASA] Web site updated again. Earthdawn not dead?
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 11:01:15 -0500
FASA updated their website yesterday, adding a mailing list notification
thingy for their various product lines (Battletech, Shadowrun, Crimson
Skies and - Earthdawn!). They've been hiring recently - are they going
to try to keep ED going? I hope so. I want that Dragons supplement.
:-)

You and everyone else I know ;)

This certainly sounds hopeful, but from what snippets I've heard over the
last few months...things aren't sounding good for the "resurrection" of
Earthdawn, I mean, preferences aside, if it were a good seller then it
would've been snapped up within weeks of it being 'offered around' as it
were...?

I asked Mike M. about this the other day on AOL. He said that Lou Prosperi
was NOT one of the folks rehired, but he didn't mention the status-quo of ED
at this time.

It is a -very- good sourcebook..And sheds light on the personalities
of many of the Great Dragons..

So they are hiring for ED..cool..maybe we will be doing another ED
tourney at GenCon99..

You've got a reply-to that over-rides the list. You may already know
this, but I thought I'd tell you anyway, just in case.

You're acting as if you have first-hand knowledge of this sourcebook; I
was under the impression that it hadn't seen the light of day and no one
here had had the chance to have first-hand knowledge of it, in spite of
depserate desires otherwise. If you do have first-hand exposure to
DRAGONS, would you be averse to telling us how you got it?

i'm sure mr. granite would love to tell you the story of how he got
the dragons book...it is one of his all time favorite things in the
world...'cause then he can segue that into a little gencon talk...right?
