I just got a copy today, drool! Can't wait to start looking through it.
Has anyone else got a copy yet?

Really? I called the snotty guy at Ludicrous (the gaming store I go
to) and he said, quote, "That's really interesting, because it
hasn't been sent to distributors yet." He's an annoying one, Mr.
Grinch. ;)

Maybe I should've ordered through FASA. :P

One of my players in the Aztlan PBEM has one, he's been quiet up to this
point, but that's because we (Mike and I) are lucky. We're picking ours up
(all 4 of them between ourselves and our players) this week.

I live in Ottawa. I think it's strange that the Rigger is out, supposedly
three days before its release, the 14th I heard last.

the best and they usually are great at getting stuff in.

Actually I managed to get an advanced copy from one of the artists, a
little before you did. Though someone has told me that FASA shipped 2
copies to some con as prizes for the weekend of the 4th.

Most distributors go the FASA shipment late friday night (10/10/97), or
atleast that is what they claim. I think they got them in wendsday and
didn't unpack them until friday.

FYI, Jon Setzo did not get his copies as early as he should have. The
distributors, peter, myself, the two luck members of the con and several
of the artists had copies BEFORE the author. Isn't it some sort of
practice that the author gets the first copy printed?

I have been absent from the list beacuse of it. Too many things to do
with it :)
