This is just a clarification on 2 points.
1) The Opening story from the SRII rulebook, "Plus Ca Change", and one of the
stories from Into the Shadows have the same characters.(Smedley the Troll,
Nameless the Sammie, Iris the elven rigger, and Neddy the Mage) This could
account for the confusion.
2) RE: Mr. Findley's Organized Crime SB : I spoke at length with Tom Dowd about
this work, and it IS mostly completed, Mr. Findley's original Organized crime
section intended for the Lone Star SB has been expanded, and largely
re-written. Unless I misunderstood him, It is being edited now, and is almost
ready, and should be released right after
The-Book-We-Are-Now-Allowed-To-Speak-Of, since FASA put the official title on
one of their release schedules...(I refer to, of course, Awakenings)

Just My Two Pence.

These are characters from one of the Into The Shadows stories (the one by
Paul Hume); he also wrote the opening story for SR2 so that's solved :)
SR1 has a different opening story, by whatshisname, the one who wrote the
first SR novel trilogy. This story has the Dodger, Ghost, and Sally Tsung in it.

Or the NAGM or NAGA as it is still known here :)
