As a side detail for the Catholic Church in 2060 - the Society of
St. Paul is a Catholic order of brothers and priests, who have as their
charer "using the media to bring Christ to the world". This includes
(today) books and print media, but also video, television, and the Internet.
In fact, they're responsible for Vatican City's telecom grid. In 2060,
I'm willing to bet they'd number more than a few deckers among their
congregation...could make for an interesting NPC :)

Well, in that case you know as much as any of us do (unless Tibet gets
included into Target: Awakened Lands and somebody on list already has
a playtest copy or somesuch of it -- in which case, they're not
telling anyway:). In fact, last time this came up, that's about as
much as FASA really knew, I think:)

Just a quick note, it isn't normal procedure and to my knowledge FASA
doesn't do it, to playtest "place" books. You playtest rules, not places.

So I seriously doubt anyone is playtesting Target: Awakened Lands. MitS,
almost certainly is being tested right now based on their time table. I
suppose that it's possible that the Cannon Companion and/or Man & Machine
will get playtesting before the end of the year, but that depends on the
planned release date for those products. Of which, I don't know and FASA
hasn't announced, to my knowledge.

Just FYI.
