I must agree with Crossfire and Scotty, to whit-'Ye kinna change the laws
of Physics'. These 'dead zones are IM-not-so-HO a very bad idea and I
think that they detract from an otherwise exemplary 'sourcebook' (NAGEE).
This is and the speculations on the 'barrier' are definitely things I do
not like.
If Silver Cianide is reading, please restrict your magazine articles to
extrapolations from given data (New weapons, spells, city layouts,
comments on existing products' info, and fiction). Plese do not include
things that radically change the game and which are not based on anthing
published or which can be reasonably extrapolated from real world examples
(New ammo, vehicles, surveillence equip., etc.)

I'll get off my soapbox now.
