To add to the Forward by Erik J and the message K sent out a week ago, I
talked to Mike briefly a few days ago. Basially, I asked specifically how
the buyout would affect the conventions, since we're already starting to
plan out Origins 2000 (O2K :)) for the SR Tourney and stuff there. Mike
basically said a lot of the same things he did to K, and said that nothing
should change on FASA's end, other than some more leeway on stuff and a
partner in crime for making new stuff. Conventions and FASA itseld will
remain as is.

I think MIke is surprised at how freaked everyone was by this :]

Hey, after hearing just a few months ago that FASA had been
bought up by Ral Partha, who had been bought by Microsoft...

oops. my bad.

Microsoft was bought by Ral Partha?

Mark

[FASA bought Ral Partha. Microsoft bought FASA Interactive. People
got confused and started leaving off the "Interactive" when passing
along the news.]
