I don't remember ever hearing definately that The Covenant would be done 
before the sale.  That's good to know (although Covenant is going to be 
less useful to me than EU, which I'm *really* looking forward to, I still 
want to see Cov. too)

But even if they are still publishing it for the next two books, they 
shouldn't send off-topic emails to the list like that.  It's one thing if 
it is rpg related.  But card games are another step away from the list 
topic.  People get cranky.

That's certainly nice of them and we appreciate it.  But I'm sure that 
everyone can understand if we're feeling a little orphaned right now as 
fans.  Our game has no permanent home, and only two more books for 
certain.  We don't know what's going to happen for sure.  It could go to a 
company that really puts effort into it and makes it shine, or it could go 
to a company that doesn't do much with it and lets it linger or itself goes 
out of business due to the shaking up of the industry that appears to be 
happening.

That's what we hope too!  We love the game, or we wouldn't be here on the 
list.  Anythign that threatens our game makes us anxious.  ;)

>Either way, thanks for all the support. I do appreciate it.

It's a great game.  It deserves it. :)
