Good question. Porbably a few, but shouldn;t be too bad. In this day
and age, hopefully the majority of folks interested in a new RPG will
check online or ask around. I know there's been a little advertising
for SR4, but I wonder how many FLGS actually know about this. Too
many seem pathetically ignorant about their stock.

Well do I remember SR3 and the complaints, questions, etc. that it
caused. And SR4 will be far, far more dramatic, considering the
change to the entire system.

But you know what? I've been watching bitching, whining, complaining,
and all the rest for months now (mainly on the Forums), and I've been
unable to do much more than say "uhh, give it a chance. It doesn't
suck. no, I can't tell you why. just STFU and be patient!" At least
once the book comes out, the folks not happy with it will actually
have something concrete to complain about, and I'll be at liberty to
actually discuss the game.

Ahh well...
