Well........ here's hopin' I don't tick TOO many folks off here, but heck, 
wouldn't be th' first time.    Just hadda de-lurk for THIS one though.   
Apologies in advance for any offence anyone takes, but no apologies for the 
thoughts expressed.

Now Gus.... as many (both here AND on the HOE list) have stated, I prefer one 
of the game settings over the others (Weird West in my case, if the handle 
didn't clue y'all), and while I enjoy reading  the HOE material, the same 
problem that PEG seems to have, that of lack of funds, also affects those of 
us that are labeled Consumers.    A sad but true fact.   If things like food 
and shelter for myself and my family didn't come into consideration, I'd own 
everything that appealed to me, PEG oriented or otherwise.   Sadly, that 
isn't a possibility.   And while I have no intention to, as you put 
it..."jump the PEG ship'... I, and obviously many others, really can't see 
spending what MIGHT be the same amount of money, getting a smaller amount of 
relevent campaign material for us.   Is that a bad thing for us to think?     
I, personally, don't think so....just simple economics...just like any 
decisions PEG makes.    This isn't a "whine", it just is.   As far as "not 
getting exactly what we want",  hmmmmm.......do YOU purchase things (goods, 
services, materials, etc) if it isn't exactly what you want?   You might have 
more available ready cash then I then. Congratulations.

>>You haven't even seen the new format yet and you're already writing it off 
as a failure.<<

Naaaaaah....... not writing it off, just expressing doubts as to it's cost 
efectiveness to me, personally.   As a matter of record...I do not like the 
Epitaph, ergo I do not buy it (actually have to say that I DID buy the first 
one.....the WW adventure in it was a pretty good one).    Do I blast the fine 
folks at PEG for doing the Epitaph, something I don't care for?    Nope... I 
just hang on to my hard-to-come-by cash to give it to them when something I 
DO want comes out.     I hope that doesn't make me a bad person.

>>Look, all I'm saying is don't jump off the plane before we leave 
the run way.  Buy one or two of the new books.  Don't judge it by it the 
cover,  Buy it!  If ya don't like it, fine, don't buy anymore.  But if ya do 
like it, who knows, ya might just start going along with one of the other 
game lines, and if enough of ya do that, you might guarantee that PEG will 
be around for our kids to play.<<

Never intended to do anything but....   Exactly what I've done in the past.   
BUt the basic concept remains the same.... as you state, if we don't like it, 
we won't buy it.   One of two things will happen then... PEG will revamp 
again, or fold.    Personally I hope NEITHER of those possibilities occur.    
 

>>Go ahead, keep whining and give up on PEG all together.  Enough 
of ya do that, and I guarantee that in another year or two, you won't have 
anything left to complain about.<<

Have to say...... THIS one section of your post really did irritate this 
'thin skin' of mine.    "Whinning" like this is sometimes called "Opinions".  
  They tend to be like ********, (expletive deleted) everyone has one, and 
someone, somewhere thinks they stink.   My opinion (or 'whine', if you will) 
is that as presented here, the combined Deadlands won't appeal to me AS MUCH 
(read that carefully..... I didn't say 'at all' or 'anymore')    As Shane has 
ssaid, ALL the games will eventually be connected.... Black Book anyone?   
That doesn't mean that everyone WILL connect the games.   No one knows how 
PEG is going to produce their product (excpet them...to some extent, huh Mr 
Goff?   heh heh heh), so the opinions expressed here (and in other's posts, 
I'm sure) ARE subject to change.   Like your's might.... you might HATE any 
changes made and stop buying them yourself.   Who knows the future.... 
well....excpet maybe that Astard Bay Stone!    

(Shane, John (s), all other PEG Pals..... we here in Chattanooga are with ya! 
   But, as with most things in live, reality is subject to change without 
prior notification.    Hope y'all liked the "Mojo Business Card" <IF ya 
noticed it at all!   heh heh heh> in our entry in the "Ghostbusters" mail-in!)

OK......... I'm lurked again.     Feel free to blast me at will, I'm Ghosted.
