Subject: South African Sourcebook ?
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 09:47:51 GMT + 2:00
Hi

A while ago there was a romour that FASA was going to be bring out a
South African (or was it Africa) Sourcebook. Any idea what is in the
pipeline about it? Actually while on the subject are there any other
interesting source books comming out such as Japan, China, Russian. I
don't suppose that they are planning to bring out a world map of the
SR universe showing how the layout has changed?

FASA people should take note: this would be a great way to ripoff our
money! A glossy poster world map, a must-have to all SR GMs, would be
fairly cheap and fast to produce (compared to a sourcebook) and they
could charge the same for it as for an adventure.

<Smack> Please stop the whining! Nobody holds a gun to our heads and
makes us buy their products. Ripoff our money??? This list is full of
people suggesting extra rulebooks, sourcebooks, resources, etc. from
FASA. I say keep 'em coming. I choose want I want and don't want, and
vote with my wallet. I would much rather have too many choices than too
few.

Personally I don't like flaming, but RIPOFF is not a particularly nice
phase. So...
