Not trying to speak for Shane, but I think he;s said that te plan is to 
put books that are out of print and unlikely to be reprinted in e-book 
form. It's a pretty good policy, from both our end (we can still get 
the books we crave) and the PEG end (they can still get a bit off these 
without the risk of printing a possibly-obsolete book)

Also, Shane seems to spend time fixing typos as part of prepping the 
books... At least, the ones I got as part of the anniversary CD deal 
were marked as 'revised' copies.

I think by the rules, it can't... Only single-action weapons can be 
fanned, but the double-action weapons can take two shots. There's a 
single-action and double-action Peacemaker, however. Maybe one of the 
list's more knowledgable firearm experts can jump in.

Of course, my brain has been leaking out my ears for the last week or 
so, so this may be BS.

I spent a rather depressing weekend getting my notes together for the 
game I'm runing friday... I'm using a one-shot Halloween adventure to 
resolve a campaign loose end by letting my posse play as the MiBD for a 
night of Aliens-esque fun. Should be interesing....
