Before to set out to print this mild-mannered monster, a look at the contents might help you sort things out.

To compensate, we're trying to focus on better quality material and better editing, but whether or not we're succeeding in this is anyone's guess. Pages 32-33 are maps available only in Postscript. Page 34 comes to us via Mark Cook's Subsector Viewer for X Windows and is available in both Postscript and as an X Windows Dump. Page 35, currently available only in the physical distribution, is just a picture of one of the Imperial nobles. The cover art, as usual, is also not included in the electronic distribution... sorry. If you want some info on how to get a physical (bound) copy with all the art (there isn't much, though), just ask. That's all for now... feel free to holler praise or foul tidings, whichever suit better your purpose. We're open to both encouragement and criticism. _ /| \`o_O' ( ) <--- jimv@ucrmath.ucr.edu U ucsd!ucrmath!jimv (uucp) Aachk! Phft! Ftp!
