I gave up trying to incorporate FASA's storyline into my world a long
time ago. For example, I moved the Chicago hive to Denver. And the
hive is going to be around for a long time, as far as I'm concerned.

My approach is to buy the sourcebooks and use what I want to use.
Sometimes I use everything from the sourcebook to the letter.
Sometimes I don't use a thing.

For example, I've set a plot in motion that would be destroyed if I
kept to the storyline from Jak's books. So I won't follow that
storyline to the letter.

On the other hand other sourcebooks are awesome and don't interfere
with my campaign plans at all, so I can easily incorporate them.

And then there are times when the basic material is great, but I
don't like the story, so I change the story. <shrug>

Make of it what you will, is my philosophy.
