Does anyone know a reason why FASA would be in financial trouble? With
the Success of the Battletech and Shadowrun lines I would think they
would be doing OK. I know the entire industry is having problems right
now but I would have thought FASA's diversification (RPG's, Computer
Games, VWE, Novels) would have shielded them somewhat.
