Hogunmark huh? Oddly enough, I think that is one of the Sourcebooks
that our Hobby Store does have. May need to run out and get it, along
with Baruk-Azhik and Tuarhievel, I know those two are still there
waiting for me to buy them.

All I can say right now is that I'm doing my best to make certain it is
made available in SOME fashion. Whether that is electronically or in some
other way, I'll have to let you know. Hopefully, I'll have something for
you soon.

I hope so, too. Thanks for filling out the survey. We need everybody's
support, and, truth to tell, I kind of like it that way. It definitely
makes me want to work harder, knowing you people are all out there
depending on what we do (well, for published BR material, anyway).

That fits into the "so far, so good" range ...

I picked this up yesterday and, although I haven 't had time to go throug=
h this in detail
yet, it looks great and solves a few of the problems I had converting the=
three timelines
to see where the events happened. Thanks very much to you both for this.=
It's a gem.
