In this area I am afraid that I must agree with Mr. Coburn.  While I enjoy 
the Weird West, the Wasted West, and Lost Colony (as I am not big into 
science fiction games) do not interest me.  Thus, while I am interested in 
the overall storyline, it is not enough of an interest for me to sustain my 
purchasing habits of books should they only marginally deal with the area of 
the Weird West.

While I may not NEED other books to run the game, regional sourcebooks are 
always interesing.  I tend to run storylines that are not central to the 
overall plot anyway so I like broad regional overviews.  

While I realize that this is not only a passion, but also a business for you 
folks at PEG, I hope that you all will consider making line specific products 
as well.
