Ok. Everybody REALLY oughta put in some spoiler space, when discussing
Sourcebooks and stuff. IMO, SR has stayed kinda on-course, but FASA is
*definitely* getting IRRITATING with their new habit of putting a part of
the story in sourcebooks, and the rest in novels. I stopped by
Barnes&Noble the other day...the Barnes&Noble CHAIN, AFAIK, now doesn't
carry SR Novels. Why? Because FASA now has it going to game stores. my
local game store can't carry novels, simply due to distributor issues(as
the guy at the game store, HobbyMasters, said. not sure)....ARRRGH.
Another fact is also that a LOT of info is now contained in sourcebooks
ya see once in a milennium. My parents generally only let me spend a MAX
of $30 per 3 MONTHS on game stuff, which is beginning to make following
SR futile. Arg.

John
