I think that is a fantastic decision and really hope it works out. Two quick questions. One, do you have a ball park idea of when the first of these titles might be published? Two, will this title contain long stories like used to be in MMA and DDA, shorter stories that might have appeared if MM&F and DD&F were still around, or some of each?</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>The SJ-type books are a new format for Gemstone, so there's still some ironing out to do before we can schedule them. One definite aim is for them to feature the material that was previously going to go into MMA and DDA, and they could well include material that would have gone in MMF and DDF.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Personally, I hope that if all goes well we'll be able to get the first ones out by no later than the fall of '07.
