    I dunno, from the what was written below, it sounds like there will be NO NEW
    BIRTHRIGHT RELEASES UNTIL 1999, that sounds like bad news to me, I have been
    waiting very patiently for new material, and have been somewhat disappointed.
    Nothing new for BR until 1999 sounds like BAD news to me.

    I do appreciate you keeping us informed about what is going on, it does show us
    consideration.

    EEEEEKKK! What kind of "exciting new format" are we talking about?!?

    This I do appreciate, even it there will be a demise of my much beloved full
    color pages. Quality products has marked the BR line from the begining, I can
    only hope it will continue to actualy have products to sell....

    Don't tease me about a new format, and who is going to want to buy a boxed set
    that is going to be replaced with a new edition sometime soon?

    I understand that what you are being allowed to tell us is kinda megre, but I
    have seen too many "delayed" projects that the game producers fully intended to
    release, never see a shelf. I don't know what you can tell us to calm our
    concerns, but I think that just about everyone on this list is concerned about
    this news.

    Well, that's no fun. I really hope that at lest the book of regency
    and the monstorus compendium will come out this year. It would placate
    us "old fans", and help keep the awarness of the line up. I have
    played games that are not supported by thier companies in the past and
    the present (Champions, Cyberpunk and Mekton (though thats changed
    lately) and it can be done its just harder with out source material.

    I appreiciate the Mr. Stark was kind enough to give us the word instead
    of letting us twist in the wind.
