Sweet. 

If they are going to include all the Arcanes, and all three of the settings,
that is going to be one massive book.

Well, yeah.  
There's always going to be someone complaining about something that was done
different.  I remember the discussions here when Deadlands revised came out.

The same thing happened with DnD 3rd edition, Ars Magica 3rd, Champions 4th,
etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Hmm. . . I'm kinda torn about this part.  On one hand, as a fan of the setting,
I'd like to see some closing of those plots.  On the other hand, as a gamer I'd
like to see a setting book that has plenty of room to adventure in.  

Ah well, Shane's writing it.  It'll be good.

I'll have to try and check it out this weekend.  I can't get to the PEG sites
from work.  

Anyone have any idea of cost, page count, estimated time of ship?

Thanks.
