Q: Given the massive fan support FASA has behind all three* of its games,
why is "resources" considered an acceptable reason for FASA's website to
be so disorganized and out-of-date?

You have here what equates to a volunteer army. Hand-pick two or three
list denizens as "Official Shadowrun Webmongers" or whatever, e-mail them
the raw material, and let them do the page designs and HTML conversions no
one seems to have time for. Once you get back polished individual pages
from them, putting links in from the main FASA page is just a
several-minute job for some employee or paid contractor. You could even
assign entire subsections to specific volunteers, for the sake of
organization.

The benefits are:

1.) A richly developed, up-to-date Web site, greatly enhancing FASA's
reputation; and
2.) Reduced costs, since there's plenty of HTML-proficient people here
who'd do the job for bragging rights and the chance to see this stuff a
few days ahead of everyone else.

The risks are:

1.) Reliability, since you can never *make* a volunteer do something; and
2.) Quality, which you can't be assured of until you see the finished
product come back.

Risk 1 can be managed simply by limiting the offer to people who are
long-time supporters of the game and whose own Web sites show a great deal
of work and dedication. Risk 2 can be monitored easily by taking five
minutes to review the Web pages that are sent back before putting them on
the FASA site.

Setting up the program might take some time early on, since someone at
FASA would have to come up with a standards document (page backgrounds,
font sizes, headers and footers, etc.) for volunteers to follow to
maintain a consistent look for the site. And someone at the FASA end
would still have to do minor editing on the pages that come back in. But
that's still *much* faster and cheaper than having to do the work
in-house, and once FASA sees what Web volunteers can do there might be an
opportunity for them to provide more creative input, taking even more load
off people whose real job is game development.

What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Or an idea that's been proposed
already and rejected, ignored, or under lengthy consideration?

Another thing I'd like to propose is something I saw at the TSR website
(quit sniggering, guys), and has to do with out-of-print material.

At the AD&D website, they've made the 2nd Edition LEGENDS & LORE
sourcebook available, for free download, as an RTF document (take a look
at http://www.tsr.com/ADND/Downloads.html if you're interested). Would
such a thing be possible for some of the out-of-print Shadowrun books
(like LONE STAR, for instance)? It's true that they're going to be
out-of-date, but some of us are after the material, for either
sentimental reasons or because there are some interesting things that
we'd like to have references for, and not just because it's the most
current available. Some of us aren't terribly particular about the
final format; yeah, the original, with cover art, would be cool, but if
we have to print it out ourselves, we can live with that, too.

Another idea, instead of merely posting sourcebooks, is the concept of
digital books.

The difference is that posting sourcebooks is essentially giving it away.
Given that maintaining the web pages, and the Internet connection, and (in
some cases) paying for the traffic generated by the site, it becomes hard to
justify this (except as supporting the fans, of course. :)

An equally valid method is digital books. The difference is that digital
books are a 'pay-per-download' method. Prior to downloading, you receive a
bit of javascript, which takes your credit card details, processes a minimal
charge ($5, for example... this cost still gives the authors/publishers
their kickbacks, and covers the costs) and then issues a digital receipt. It
then starts a download of the book.

When the download is complete, the javascript fires off a packet saying that
it is done. If the download is terminated, the digital receipt can be used
to start another download later, without having to pay again (after all,
your goods were never delivered).

If this method was proposed to FASA, there might be more interest. It gives
them a chance at some revenue to justify the cost of setting up the
sourcebooks for download, and at getting continued income from the
out-of-print sourcebooks.

I could live with this; I'm not so much looking for freebies as I am the
information in those books. $5 a pop for the document is, to me, more
than fair. They can even put them on the main order form that way. <g>

Did you likewise send this to FASAMKTG@***.com?

Something a lot easier would be to get Adobe Acrobat. One can possibly
assume that most of the sourcebooks are in a single file in a state
ready to go to the printers. With Acrobat, you can just use the normal
print function and send it to a PDF file. In the file, it looks like it
does on paper. It requires no work (unless you want to bookmark the
starts of chapters, or something else like that) and it's pretty quick.
PDF file viewers are free to download from the net (or I am sure you
could include one on a CD of PDF files, which could also be a reasonably
cheap way to distribute all of the older books). I think you can even
hyperlink them, but I haven't played with that yet.

It would be a much quicker and easier option for FASA

Please, God, if we're going to convince them to do this, let's convince them
to do it in more than one format. I hate Acrobat like I hate few other
things in life.

I do like the CD idea, though. You could fit lots o' docs in lots o'
formats on that puppy. I'd pay good money for something like that.

I know that something like this would be a godsend, especially for
people who haven't been collecting stuff since the year dot. A search
engine would be really useful as well.

<personal peeve>
Acrobat is what's wrong with PDF files. Every system I've ever installed
Acrobat on goes unstable within hours of its use. I think it's just that
Adobe doesn't particularly seem to like me, or perhaps there's a curse
involved. I don't know. All I know is that Acrobat and I don't get along.
</personal peeve>

Your mileage, of course, may vary significantly. What really ticks me off
is that one of the guys I work with, on an identical machine, has never had
a lick of trouble. I go to his machine, and it crashes. Maybe I emit some
kind of strange energy field or something....

Well, my experience with trying to print US-page Acrobat files to A4 has
convinced me that this is a _bad_ thing. :)

Acrobat Exchange)

Well, I know from experience, that if you are careful, you can create
PDF files on both Letter and A4 sized pages, using nothing more than a
change in print settings. Mind you, you need to format the source files
for A4 paper and then just set the PDF writer to print to Letter sized
paper. Granted the margins look a little off, but you can't have
everything :)

If this goes ahead, then maybe we need to convince FASA that there are
people in the world that use a paper size that isn't 8.5x11". Maybe they
could make a special version for export that uses A4 paper.

Now I'm kidding myself :)

What you are talking about are bogons. Bogons are the elementary particle
that causes computer programs to crash. Generally, programmers are bogon
attractors, thus preventing the bogons causing their programs to crash while
they are there. Users (and, in particular, programming managers) seem to be
bogon repulsors, causing bogons which wouldn't have hit the program to veer
and cause crashes. In an extreme case, you have people who are actually
bogon emittors, and perhaps you fall into this category.

I deeply believe that something like that exists. I've got the same problems
with hardware. The brother of my pen-pal has an 80% breakdown-rate with
newly bought electronics. And on TV there was a woman who blows light bulbs
(I'm not saying I believe anything on TV :)

For a full explenation of the effect of Bogons and their anti particles
and other related phenoninon go read the Quantum Bogosity entries in the
New Hackers Dictionary (the name of the printed version of the venerable
jargon file). You can find online versions of the book if you dont want
to buy this wonderfull volume. It even helped me in one of my computer
science classes. :)

Ya, ya, ya im repling to my own post. I shouldnt be allowed to post
withing 10 minutes of getting up. I screwed up the name of the theory. It

As regards the Adobe reader, I also find it hard to read without actually
printing them out. I do not really need all the stuff printed out, and would
like to read on my computer.
If you want to see what they would look like, try White Wolfs web=page,

Or when you want to print the file out, select "Shrink to fit" in the print

I think that it would be a good idea, but as you mention there would be a lot

It would be nice if FASA would do this but I do not think that it will happen.
