[HOE] Yay! They're HERE!!!

["Kai Tave" <kaitave@harborside.com>]

Yes!  My books finally came.  Thanks to all parties involved, and piss on
the U.S. Mail for putting a scratch on the spine of my copy of Waste
Warriors.  For shame.

However, my HOE shipment has come only one day after my Weird West shipment,
so I now have seven new books and no clue where to start reading.  I expect
I won't be leaving my room for a few months.

My only comment thus far about anything is on the Background: Soldier table.
The way people were talking about it, I was expecting horrible, horrible
results, but they (the results) really aren't much worse that things I would
normally think to give a character who was involved in the Last War.  I
dunno.  Maybe Shane or Allan could chip in their two cents on the edge's
cost-to-benefit value or something.  At any rate, I haven't read much more
than that, so my thoughts on the matter have no real value.  I'll probably
just go with what looks good.

Anyway, hooray for Pinnacle!
