Junkers is due out in...what...March, I think.  I'm still waiting for the site
to list the products and when they're coming.  Yes, the issue of Junkers has
been hashed and rehashed and rehashed.  Everyone (even Shane) seems to agree
that the Junker section was pitiful.

Trying very hard not to infer anything.

Well, officially, I think that it's pretty useless now except for Doomsayers.
Although, since I am allowing the old types in my game, I'm thinking of
running it just like Faith from Deadlands.

Speaking of old types, such as Hucksters and such, here's an idea to keep
people from playing one as often...double or triple the cost of the Arcane
Background for those types.  Just a thought.
