I come here to mourn the loss of the FASA Corp.
They went out of buisness recently, and as far as I'm concerned, it is a sad day for the gaming comunity.
If you don't know, the Freedonia Air and Space Administration is the company that produced Battletech, Shadowrun, Earthdawn, and several other games.
They were always a good company to deal with, and you could tell that thier games were made by people that were actually themselves gamers. If you had a rules question or other comment you wanted to write in with, you were guarenteed a personal reply.
The rules of thier games were realistic while remaining smooth playing, and the background storys of thier settings and worlds were rich and detailed.
Battletech and Shadowrun were sold to WizKids, the company that makes MageKnight. I here that the founder of WizKids was also a founder of FASA, so I hope he does good things with the licenses.
RalPartha, FASA's miniture manifacturer, is also defunct I fear, so if you played Battletech, go out and buy as many mini's as you can now. We may never see them again.
