Far as I know, they're still hanging in Jordan Weisman's Kitchen.....
That makes for one of my interesting SR stories....
About 3 summers ago, a close friend of mine got a job as a live-in nanny
for a well-to-do businessman in the Near West Chicago Suburbs (we were
living in River Forest at the time.) At the time, I had been playing SR
for about 2-3 years, and was preparing for yet another group excursion to
Gen Con. One night Ashlyn invites me over to her employers house to have
dinner and keep her company, and she kept being rather "cryptic". I
arrived, said Hi to the kids, had a pleasant evening. Upon getting the
"grand tour" of the house, I noticed a familiar picture on one of the
walls. In a frame on a wall near the kitchen, I saw the Universal
Brotherhood - UK ad staring at me, and next to it was the picture of the
elven maid and ork butler from the same Sourcebook. I was immediately
curious, and Ashlyn told me with an impish grin that the house I had been
in that evening was that of none other than Jordan Weisman, one of the
FASA owners, and SR creators. It seems that he needed the help because he
was travelling all over opening up new Battletech Centers that summer...
I guess living in Chicago *DOES* have its perks....<smirk>
C-Y'all at Gen Con! (I'll at least stop by GRANITE's game, even though I
couldn't get in.... not pre-regging does that.... D'oh!)
