> Twist is not bitching, whining or complaining. He is making a valid
observation on a reference he thinks the game could use. Maybe those of
you that have been playing for years think it's not necessary. And it
may not be for you. But there are others that would like to see this
kind of reference made available. And for those of you who don't want
it, I'll bet you buy it if it is published anyway...

Matt,
I don't know about everyone else *Doc' looks pointedly at K :)*, but I
was never disagreeing with Twist that such books were and would be
useful. As I've said a number of times, I think they'd be wonderful.
My point is that I don't think to expect FASA to make them is
realistic. They simply are not the kinds of things that sell well and
all game companies have to look at the bottom line.
Oh, and one other thing. Twist WAS bitching, whining and/or complaining
- or at least, that's how it came across. No offense, Twist.
I honestly think that we all agree on a basic principle here -
atmosphere books of the kind Twist wants would be wonderful. The
disagreement comes because Twist thinks FASA isn't making them (or
enough of them) and we them they are (or that it's unreasonable to
expect them to produce the exact KINDS of books he's asking for).
Like Jon said, let it die. No one is going to convince anyone on the
other side of the fence. It's much too subjective a matter. And there's
no point bitching, whining, complaining or even discussing it, because
that gets nowhere. If we want a book like Twist is suggesting, then we
need to talk to FASA and convince them there's a market for it.
