Hello. This message addresses several points.

Andrew,
Yes, please post that. I've been trying to get a copy. Did FASA post stuff
from their catalog on GEnie also? I heard that they had Tir Tairngire
NPC's and other stuff in it.
Also, if you want to have success with a CAS adventure you should probably
set it in either Dallas/Fort Worth or Atlanta, because those are cities
endorsed by FASA.

I just want to say something about the maps, they suck!! The map of North
America has two Denvers (one is hard to see, but it is there.) It also has
the UCAS and CAS being too long. I would suggest using the map in the
hardcover SRII instead. It is better and of a higher quality. The wide
range map of Washington, D.C., shows Maryland completely surrounding D.C.
on either side of the Potomac! "North Virginia" appears to be a vertical
shape, composing territory from both Maryland and Virginia. Wrong. Of
course the SRII map thankfully ignores the whole concept of North
Virginia. As you can see, this is a pet peeve of mine.

3. Star Wars

Wait a minute, are you saying there will be another Star Wars movie? If
so, will George Lucas direct it? What's with the clones? This
sounds really exciting if true!

Ok, it is official as far as I know that Star Wars: Chapter I will be
release memorial day of 1997 (the 20th year aniversary). Lucas is
directing (with ILM producing the SPFX, of course), but the story is still
under wraps. It WILL NOT be based on Zahn's stories.

Read rec.arts.sf.starwars for recent and accurate information.

Now back to Shadowrun.
