Does anybody have an updated release date for the Tir sourcebook? I know that
it was originally the end of May. Is it still the same? Or has it been
pushed back like FASA seems to do? And how about other goodies from FASA up and
coming?

Also, am I the only one who would really like to see an Atlan sourcebook that
includes all or most of Central America and the particulars of Aztec blood
magic?

I too would like to know about the Tir book and any upcoming Shadowrun
products. I am hypothesizing that with the upcoming release of Earthdawn,
new SR products will be few and far between. (If you don't know,
according to rec.games.frp.* rumors Earthdawn is a fantasy game set in the
past of Shadowrun's history, in the fourth world, to be exact. We are in
the fifth now, and the sixth is SR.) Another rumor has Tom Dowd working
with Steve Jackson games on a new product, so that should slow down SR
development also. I'm sure someone here must have access to a catalog; if
TSR sells hardbound catalogs in stores, FASA must have something.

On the subject of sacrifices, I think that all it would do is add extra
energy to rituals. Perhaps the sacrifices person (even a mundane) could
count as an extra team member. Or it could add to the force of the spell.
The latter idea is based upon Paladium's Beyond the Supernatural, in which
sacrifices add to available P.P.E. (energy available for magic.) Any system
needn't be complicated.

Just some thoughts,
