Just because I think an SR world map is a good idea, doesn't mean that it's
a do-able project for FASA. My guess is that it would be a huge project
with a lot of development time and art time. You know they would want to put
a great deal of effort into making it right, as well as produce something
beautiful, not half-hooped. That's what FASA aims for on every project, IMO.

They'd have to justify the investment with a return. Posting it to the web
page wouldn't work, I don't think. They'd have to sell it. It might work as
part of new sourcebook or as collection of maps. I don't know.

I think the NERPS project is a great way to fill in countries until FASA
decides what to do with them. Unfortunately, I can't look at the NERPS
stuff, just in case something accidentally creeps through my subconscious
and into one of my books.

BTW, got an advance copy of Stranger Souls today, hot off the press. I
think that means it should be in game stores in two or three weeks. AFAIK,
they're distributing it through both the game trade and the book trade,
unlike the last couple of novels.

Best,

Yeah, Lucifer Deck and Steel Rain weren't (along with some Btech novels),
but Shadowboxer and Binding Force(Btech) came back through the game stores.
