She, not he, if you were talking about my post.

I haven't stopped with BNW permanently, only just a pause.  We alternate 
campains after each story arc (or about every 6-8 sessions or so).

It will be harder to draw new folks into it, now that AEG has stopped 
supporting it (publishing the Covenant book doesn't quite count as 
supporting it, IMO, since they've decided to stop with the line), and thus 
it will be publicized only by folks who are still playing it.  But I don't 
think it is dead, or will die completely.  Games don't die off just because 
they go out of print.  People play what they like.  (After all, isn't 
Earthdawn compeletly out of print now?)

We all hope someone else will pick up the game, just so that we can 
continue to get cool new books.  I wonder if that's gone anywhere...but I 
suppose we'll find out when there is anything to find out.
