A year or so back someone on the list mentioned that there were 2 adventures
that were in production when Carl Sargent was DLOH which Mike scrapped when
he became boss. IIRC one was set in the Carrib League with the runners
having to track down a corp execs runaway son. They both looked truely awful
from the brief back cover descriptions of them. Could someone point me in
the direction of where I could find information on them. This is a case of
morbid fascination.

Cheers.

The only unpublished adventure I can remember is the 7321 Running Short, which
should have been a collection of short adventures for 1-2 characters and a GM
for those nights where most of the group can't/don't show up.

That's the only one I can remember being announced, but not published. It's
quite possible, though, that the two adventures referred to here were never
really announced in FASA promotional material because they hadn't been
developed far enough yet. Not that I'd heard of them in any way before this
question, so this is pure guesswork on my part...

Here is a copy of a message from Wed Jan 31 11:25:01 2001:

> Lars' question about the mysterious novel got me thinking about
some apparent gaps in FASA's SR product line up.

I got these off FASA's web site after some SERIOUS digging... looks
like they just got lost in the shuffle somewhere. Looks like the SR
universe was set to take a very strange turn... maybe this explains
some things.

> It would appear that product 7218, which lies between 7217 (Target:
Awakened Lands) and 7219 (Target: Matrix) does not exist. Does
anyone know what is/was supposed to be there?

7218: Target: Space
Price: $15.00
Status: Coming Soon
ISBN: 1-?57%0-322-A

Description: Seen it all? Hoping for a bigger score where no runner
has gone before? Welcome to the outer limits, chummer, where you'll
find... nothing! Nothing, that is, besides the intrigues of
megacorporations locked in fierce stellar battles where the rules of
Earth don't apply! From massive space stations to sprawling
moon-bases, from nimble spacefighters to lumbering Planet Destroyers,
from cute new aliens to a race of clones bent on xenocide, you'll
have your hands full as Shadowrun takes you to the far reaches of
your imagination! (Upcoming products will support Target: Space,
including Paranormal Aliens of Mars! and Airlock, an campaign set in
Saturn's rings.)

> Also, 7321, between 7320 (Harlequin's Back) and 7322 (Super
Tuesday) never seems to have made the light of day. This one's quite
old, and I am quite sure that nothing lies there. Was this a
cancelled product or some such thing?

7321: Spring Break!
Price: $12.00
Status: Coming Soon
ISBN: 1-5S5&0-323-56

Description: What happens when a wealthy college student goes missing
during a Carib League vacation and his father turns to shadowrunners
to find him? PAAAAARTY!!! Hilarity and high-stakes drama ensue in
this taut, thrilling, beer-and-babe filled adventure where the crazy
hijinks never stop! Can the runners remain sober throughout the
weekend-long kegger? Can they avoid the attentions of the
suspiciously well-informed Dutch swimsuit team? Pack the battle van,
bring your kevlar swim trunks and head down south for Spring Break!

Was there ever anything published while Carl Sargent was DLOH? I don't remember
seeing his name in any of the books, except the ones where he is the author
(London Sourcebook, Imago, Tir nan Ôg, Prime Runners and some novels), never as
a developer.

<<<<<

Not really. He was never really the Line Developer anyways, just interim Line Developer
while they were deciding on Mike (It was only for a period of a couple months at most,
IIRC).

The only project of note that was worked on during that period was VR2. While it has
Mike's name as LD, since he was the LD by the time it hit the printers, Carl's mostly
responsible for that mess of a book.

There are one or two, IIRC, and I believe they have something like
"Assisted by <name>" underneath his developer credits. Cybertechnology is
the first one I found, and Mike Mulvihill was apparently working his way up
to full DLOH back then :)
