Actually, there's already a pretty detailed writeup of Australia in final
draft form for Target: Awakened Lands, which WizKids gets along with all of
the other final draft SR manuscripts, so they've got an Australia writeup
already if they choose to publish it.

Not that I want to discourage fans from creating their own Australia netbook,
if they want. Just keep in mind that WizKids isn't likely to consider
publishing it when they've already got one that's done and paid for.

I know, this is the most annoying part. It seems there has _always_ been a
detailed writeup of Australia, just about ready to be sent to the printers.

Anyone know if this is an adaptation of the original 'Realms' magazine write
up or something new?

It's not likely to be anything like the original Realms material. I
co-authored the Australian section, with two others, and I don't believe
any of us have even looked at any copies of Australian Realms within the
last five years. All original - and sadly, for now also all consigned to
the "waiting" basket.

This has simply whetted my appetite. The very little bit of the Realms stuff
I saw seemed very west coast-centric, since that was where they were based.
So it is probably a good thing that it is all new stuff. If we ever see it
(grrr).
Thanks.
