I'm sorry to announce this but the subject line and the press release says it
all:

http://www.fasa.com/PressReleases/PRClose.html

And, no, I don't have any further information at this time, except to say
that it feels like the end of an era for me.

Take care all,

Steve Kenson

I feel like somebody died.

Same here. Perhaps it was appropriate that after reading the FASA Press
Release, I heard, in the distance, Amazing Grace on live bagpipes...Fading
into a friend's stream of the end theme of Braveheart. A company that helped
me make friends, discover and, after crossing the paths of fate and the Grim
Reaper whilst narrowly avoiding the latter's blade, rediscover myself through
endless games of Shadowrun, and reignite my passion for stories...gone.
Never thought I would, but even now I'm shedding a small tear. It's been a
hell of a ride, folks. From my first introduction to FASA through Battletech
and stories of Great Houses clashing in a far future reminiscent of stories
of medieval kings and knights, to my long joyride with Shadowrun, it's been
great.
