Now, if people don't think SS is a *really* important part of SR, then I
suppose this would be a great idea. But it's not fair to the people who
aren't on the net to not give them a chance to see this info.

Nice. [Please correct spelling and grammar first, though, so this looks as
professional and well-thought-out as possible. Sorry, my mother majored in
English. It's not my fault. :) ]

I'd still buy every book, no matter if the whole stupid thing was on the
website. So I agree with this; FASA would also be able to get feedback from
a LOT more people, with a LOT more gaming styles this way. However, that
would also require a LOT more staff to run through it all.

YES. [If you need a web designer, FASA, my e-mail address is

Also a good idea. A total rebuild of the FASA site needs done, in my
opinion. Everything is outdated and screwed up. And whose idea was it to use
that cheezy "navigate the SR site through a badly altered Sprawl Sites
cover?" This *is* the game that partially centers around the Matrix, right?
Wouldn't that be a decent start, instead?
By the way, FASA, if you need a web designer, my e-mail address is

Well, I have a lot of other gripes, but I don't think a group-posted message
is the place for them. I think this is a great start. I'm interested to see
what other people have to say.
Oh, and, by the way, FASA, if you need a web designer, my e-mail address is

:what the frag is Hunter?
Way, way back in the dark ages of the early 90's, a small roleplaying
publisher released a new game, called Vampire. One very noteworthy
thing about it, was that the company announced that it was merely the
first game in a series of five that was to be called the "World of
Darkness", the others to be released each a year apart, and to be
titled Werewolf, Magus, Fairie, and Ghost.
After several name changes, a swap in the order that the games were
to be published, a series of second editions that followed the
initial games just a year after release, a s
