I've also seen one that had the front cover of the Lone Star sourcebook on
it.

A lot of these posters, I think, ae various promo posters, rather than just
regular posters sold on mass market...

However, I could be wrong... I've never seen a normal SR poster for sale
taht wasn't a promo poster given out to a distributer though...

Plus, I have seen some SR art pop up in other non-SR places... I saw a
Harlequin picture on a card somewhere a couple years ago... Don't remember
what it was though...

Bull is right....
All of our posters are free promo posters. We don't sell any in stores. Some
early FASA artwork has lapsed back to the artists - Harlequin cover being the
biggest piece. We still retain some rights but not all rights.

I was checking out www.discountgames.com and noticed they had SR posters
for sale (around $6 each IIRC). What would they be? (Illegal?)
