Sorry to take so long. READ MY OTHER NOTE FIRST! Tom talks about the LA
sourcebook, etc.

]I would very much like to hear Mr. Dowd's thinking on the matter.
They didn't want it to look like they were cashing in on the riots.

]that he is aware of the existence of this board.
He knows that we exist. We're the Internet Mailing List. He knows of us from
several people (Doom, Flare, Myself, etc) who call and ask questions. In case
you don't know, Doom nicknamed him the Dark Lord on High (or something close),
and Tom seems to like the nickname!

]am wondering how much affect we as members of this board and its sister
I don't know how much, considering that I don't believe that they get this
list. CI$, GEnie both charge to get/send internet e-mail, so it would be
cost-prohibitive to get this list. Personally, I think that they should send
us mail once in a while telling us what's going on. After all, we (by now)
probably have ~150 people, and we are REAL PLAYERS! Heck, I'd like to see this
mailing list become part of the "test pool".

]Does this board offer those of us with no extra funds an outlet to discuss
]our views of the game with those in charge
Unfortunately, no. However, you CAN send Tom email. (I don't know it offhand,
and it may change when they move to AOL). No guarantees that he'll reply,
however. Your best bet is to call FASA. (If you really want the number, call
me. But it's a toll call... area code (312), if you'd just rather check with
information) Depending on how lucky you are, you can get ahold of Tom, Sam,
Paul, and a couple others. Tom himself is rather personable, and knows the
rules WELL. He can answer your questions. OR, just send him snail mail. We
recently got back some stuff on enhanced articulation, via one of the list
members (sorry, I ferget who it was). And, you also have a lot of VERY
knowledgable people on this list, and they can answer most questions for you.
Certain ones get debated for a while, and someone usually winds up calling FASA
and getting an answer from the Dark Lord. Give us your best shot!
