[BNW] Miscellaneous

Hi: 

I like the Wind system you guys have come up with. It seems quick and easy to 
remember. When designing the game, I just decided that I wanted to not have 
to keep track of too many kinds of damage, so I just went with wounds and 
stun. To my mind, if a person is stunned, they're pretty much out of it and 
you can have your way with them. In reality, it's difficult to actually knock 
someone out without doing them some serious damage, often a concussion or 
worse. The idea that you can just pop someone upside the head to drop them is 
pretty much just a gimmick from film and television, as well as comics. 

As for Origins and GenCon, I'll be at both, but not Euro Gen Con--at least as 
far as I know. I'll be in the AEG booth at Origins and GenCon. As for a 
listserv dinner, I don't know that we'd want to have one separate from the 
Pinnacle guys, but I'd leave that up to Shane, as I don't want to horn in on 
his party. AEG hasn't historically done such things, I don't believe, so I 
wouldn't bet on anything on that front. 

Either way, I hope to see many if not all of you this summer at the shows. 

Delta Prime is back from the printer, and the release date for the books to 
be shipped from the distributors is May 30. You should see it soon after 
that. 

Bargainers is already at the printer, so we're moving along pretty well now. 
Crescent City is in layout, and I'm making my way through Glory Days as you 
read this. 

That's all for now!
