Hya all.

I just had a question. I've noticed that there are some FASA-officials on
this list, and writers too, but I don't know if they work for FASA or are
free-lance.... I was wondering, how many and who are they?

Just wonderin'...

Mike Mulvhill, the SR Product Line Developer was on the list last Spring,
but had to get off due to lack of time.

Steve Kenson is a free lance writer and product developer, though he might
as well be full time...:] His credits include Awakenings, and a good bit
of material in Target UCAS, and most of the other recent books.

Jak Koke, a free lance writer who's done Dead Air and the Dragonheart Trilogy.

Joel Biske is on the Shadowrun Card List, this lists Sister list run by
Loki, and he used to be assistant art director for FASA, and is now a
freelancer for them.

Mike Nielson and Jim Nelson also regularly answer questions and comment on
stuff funneled to them from Loki and a couple other SRCard members, and
they've talked about joining the Card list when their schedule settles down.

Those are the only ones that I'm aware of, but that's still quite a bit.
It says very good things for FASA that they are that involved with the
gaming community for their games...:]

AFAIK there are two: Steve Kenson (freelance sourcebook writer) and Jak
Koke (freelance novelist). Mike Mulvihill was subscribed about half a year
ago, but signed off due to time restraints.

Jak mainly seems to use this list for feedback about (and thereby plugs
for :) his latest novel, while Steve occasionally posts ideas he's had for
stuff he's working on, and asks us to comment on it.
