Son, you just got yer wish....:-)
Please let me share the good news with the whole Listserver: I am
right now hard at work on the long-awaited, oft-requested Texas Rangers
Sourcebook. It'll be 128 pages of Dual-Statted goodness, and it will MORE
than level the playing field between Rangers and those pantywaist Agency
types.:-)
It's still in the draft stage, but I have addressed all the points
you raise in your post. I can't say much about them in detail because of
that, but rest assured, my aim is to give you everything you need to make
your Ranger the Stone Cold Steve Austin of DL.;-) (Kick-Wham-Stunner-Dead
Zombie:-) ).
Look for the book sometime in first quarter '02. I have to go
finish it now, so 'nite all!
