Hey Gang,

     I've very carefully decided not to get involved in the Cybergames 
bashin', and I still have faith that they will finish restructuring whatever 
it is they have to do, to allow are men behind the green and orange, do 
their awesome work, as they have for so long.  I'm irritated that some 
things have been delayed, (Waste Warriors; hint, hint).  I'm ticked that 
others have been, from what I hear, postponed, (Lost Colony; 
grrrrrrrr.....).  But I still have faith.
     Having worked in the game industry on almost all levels, I understand 
what it means to have great product, and no money.  I was mostly happy, when 
WotC bought out TSR, namely for the fact that D&D was headed down the road 
to oblivion, before it was revitalized by new money, and fresh renovation.  
I'm confident that Pinnacle will see some shiny new light in their tunnels.  
They have a great product and great ideas.  When I go to sell HoE or 
Deadlands, it sells!  When I go to play HoE or Deadlands, well....I don't 
have to tell you guys, but IT KICKS ASS!  And if a little patience is all 
that's required to see some more great stuff, I will happily use my 
collection to the infinite capacity it already has, while I wait.
     I support Pinnacle, not for loyalty; (I'm a RPGing whore).  I support 
Pinnacle, not for Shane's or anyone else's investments, though they are 
great.  I support Pinnacle because I love the games.  I love the work.  And 
will continue to do so.
     On a side note...as patient as I am, if I don't see some final word on 
when at least Waste Warriors is popping onto my shelves, I'm going to have 
to take up chewing nails.  :)

                          Jason (The Long Winded) Adkins
