I think I remember you saying earlier that you read the first book in the 
Wildcards series and that was it.  The first book is, in my opinion, hands 
down the worst book in the series, until you get the seventh book or later, 
and then things become a lot more complicated because some of those books 
weren't all that great.

I think if you read book 2 and especially book 3 you may change your mind 
about the series, or at least part of it.  Book two still has the anthology 
feel to it, but the stories are very much related to one another, they just 
have different writers.  The third book is the best in the series in my 
opinion and it is one flowing story rather than a collection of several short 
stories.  It reads like a RPG adventure and there is a ton of material in the 
book that could be easily adapted to BNW, at least I think so.  I use several 
of the story elements (not the exact plotline) in my BNW game and the players 
seem to like them.

So, if you have some free time, I think you will especially find book 3 a 
good read.  You really need to read book 2 first though to fully appreciate 
book 3.
