But why? Are they afraid that the inhabitants of Los Angeles are going to
read the book, look at the timeline, and coordinate their rioting with the
'historical evidence'? This is inane to say the least. If this is not
the reason I would very much like to hear Mr. Dowd's thinking on the matter.
Speaking of Mr. Dowd, I take it from your repeated assertions of your
communication with him that he is aware of the existence of this board. I
am wondering how much affect we as members of this board and its sister
board, SHADOWTK, affect the games and upcoming products for it. I am
aware that their is a forum for discussing Shadowrun on GEnie that the
designers are regular members of, but alas I do not have the money to fund
my modeming activities beyond calling locally to my server and getting on
Internet through my university (read: I donon have any money to get on
anything that is not free). Does this board offer those of us with no
extra funds an outlet to discuss our views of the game with those in charge
or do they just listen to those who can afford to subscribe to GEnie?
Questioningly yours,
