Re: [DL] Combined format? [Goff, I think]

["Daphne Brunelle" <dbrune4@po-box.mcgill.ca>]

I'm not going to chime in with my opinion on the combined format issue (no
pun intended) since Ross, Daniel and a bunch of others have pretty much said
everything I would have wanted to say about that.

However, Nick's post reminded me of something I wanted to ask: is there
going to be something akin to The Agency sourcebook for the Texas Rangers
coming out any time in the (relatively) near future?

Apologies if this has already been addressed and I missed it.
