Hey everyone. I know many many many of you have picked up the Companion but
for some reason this past week we have recieved a bunch of calls from fans
and stores saying a some FASA products are not out when they are in fact
availaible. If you have trouble finding any of these products (below), let me
know (e-mail me directly, don't waste valuable mailing list room). Let your
retailer know that they are available (print this letter out if you need
proof) and if he or she can't get it from their distributor have the store
call us at 1-312-243-5600 and ask for the Sales and Marketing Dept.

The products are
Shadowrun Companaion (FASA#7905) - shipped in Novemeber
The Battle of Coventry - BattleTech (FASA#1693) - shipped in January
First Stike - BattleTech (FASA#1697) - shipped in December
Prelude to War - Earthdawn (FASA #6401) - shipped in November

Have Fun!
Play Games!

Is there a list of in-print/out of print Shadowrun items?

Um... wouldn't the catalogue on FASA's web page have the
current list of in-print items? Course, it wouldn't have
out of print items though...

FASAMike, ever consider re-releasing Universal
Brotherhood(?) (at least I *think* that's the name of the
adventure). I have heard so much high praise of it on this
list that I dearly want a copy, but can't find one anywhere
:(

Actually, FASA's web site doesn't even have an up-to-date list of current
product releases.

Hey, FASAMike, what's up with that? Your Battletech page is far more
complete. You don't even have the Errata up.

But of course, I love your product (bowing, scraping the ground with my
forehead) I am your loyal slave. I bow to the Que...er...um...CEO. Yeah,
that's it. I bow to the CEO.

The Universal Brotherhood.
FASA code 7205, a sourcebook and adventure for shadowrun.
contained
: Missing blood : THE adventure!
: 'The Universal Brotherhood', an 80! page sourcebook / PC handout
for the adventure. Sometimes called, 'Zeb Wanderly' for the
journalist that was supposed to have written it, or X3XL5 its
shadowland file designation (it was up for about 2 seconds till the
Gordons tavern explosion, the answer to which the file contains.)
: A GM screen / product cover, got more than a few bugs on it, to
be hidden very carefully from all players till they know the truth.

The problem with releasing it again would be stopping players finding
out the truth is now nearly impossible, its on 'Bug citys back cover'
and 'Double exposure' uses the UB's rep as a sale pitch as well, and
now the companion uses the UB as an example bad guy about 5 times.

It is brilliant though, i got lucky and found a copy i could buy, i
have never EVER seen it for sale new in the UK, i you hear of folks
touring US cons looking for it.
