The following is from the "Rumblings" section of the latest Dragon Magazine
(#215):

" Carl Sargent, famous both for his work on the GREYHAWK(R) campaign setting
and on FASA'S SHADOWRUN* game, has accepted a position with FASA Corp. to
take over the position of SHADOWRUN line developer from Tom Dowd. Barring
problems with immigration, he will relocated [sic] from Nottingham, England,
to Chicago this April. Welcome to the colonies, Carl!
Tom Baxa joins the FASA art studion, effective immediately. His previous
freelance work for TSR includes extensive freelance work for TSR includes
extensive work for the DARK SUN(R) world, and covers for DRAGON Magazine
issues #186, 192, and 210. His first staff project with FASA is Bug City,
alrady at the printer. He will work on both interior (color and B&W) and
color covers for the The Adept's Way, and EARTHDAWN* source book."

I think that this is probably a good thing. I would have picked Nigel over
Carl, but we can't have that now with the tragic incident of last weekend. I
know Carl's work from before Shadowrun through Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay,
where he wrote some adventures and supplements, and I think he is a good
choice.

YES !!!!!!!! Carl Sargent is GREAT - his novels and sourcebooks are the
best. I think he'll make a fine DLoH.

I agree. Carl is a great choice. I for one cant think of another who would
do the job well (Nigel would have been perfect). Carl has done some great
work (I was particularly impressed with his Greyhawk stuff for TSR).

Has anyone got a list of SR stuff Carl has already done? Tir Na Nog was
quite good, but I have always been partial to Magic/Elves in SR.

Uhmmm... didn't Tom Baxa do the cover for The Grim? I know his sig (and
his style) are on it!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I shall face my fear. I will permit it to pass
over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner
eye to seek it's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
