Somebody (uplink) on rgfc claims that there was a third booklet in the
UB package. This book should contain art, with pcitures describing
what is described in the transcript.

I have seen my shares of UBs, but have never seen anything but the
loose cover, the transcript and the adventure.

Does anybody else have this third art booklet?

They're obviously crazier than a s$!thouse rat. 1 adventure + 1
sourcebook + 1 slipcover = 1 FASA product I yearn to own. I don't need any
phantom 'third booklet' to lust after too :)

I saw that post too, and wondered as my UB contains "only" two
booklets. Judging by the cover and the size of the two booklets I
don't think there are much room for a third booklet. Could it be
something Fasa released at a GenCon maybe?

Or it was just us poor Danes that received only 2/3 of the books :-)

Oh btw I forgot to mention that I've got an extra transcript (no cover
and no adventure). I would very much like to trade it for something
else that i don't have.

For those keeping score, the transcript is (by far) the best part of UB. It
is some of the best writing SR has ever seen.

Lars, what are you looking to acquire?

Just the usual scarce stuff:
BABY, Lone Star, Corporate Security Handbook and/or PoaD.

Not sure if it even needs spoiler space considering how old this is now

Is there a standard for spoiler space? I forget.

In the UB adventure the players come across the name Prey as a queen.
Offhand, as GM I assumed Prey would be the local Queen. Now I've finished
the adventure as a player, and I'm not so sure. Does anything else mention
Queen Prey? Has anyone used the idea that she is the uniting force behind
the Brotherhood and gone with that somewhere?

>From the other Brotherhood adventure I ran I don't think there is a
uniting force behind them. I.e., it felt like more of a hive than a
group with a leader. Granted distinct cells had queens, but I don't
think there was a top queen.

I don't think the UB had a kind of "top queen" -- as I've always
understood insect spirits, each hive has its own queen and doesn't care
about the other hives in any way. The impression I get of the UB is that
it was more an organization of insect shamans banding together for their
common benefit, than that it existed so that a single person/spirit
could control all the different hives.

My GM mentioned to us that "prey" (Is that how it was spelled? It looks wrong)
is Polish (or some other eastern eurpoean languagew) for "ant". Heh.

Hmmm, the UB started off as a Magical Group?

No :)
Ant in polish is "mrówka" (mroofkha).

There is no polish word similiar in spelling to English "Prey".

I wonder what language he said it was (and the spelling)?
