For a price (except SoLA). Isn't it basically a subscription service like Battlecorps? If it is, you can count on at least one person not trusting them to pay money for their "services." |

It'll probobly come down to playtesting related tweaking. If it works well the first shot through though...

I'm praying that Arsenal comes out before '07, and making frantic deals with thoroughly unwholesome entities to make Unwired come out around the same. I swear, the "arguments" (read: wholesale violence and destruction) that's stemmed from the lack of the two (mostly Unwired) has turned me into an alcoholic. Well, that's just my justification for waking up every other weekend in Wisconsin, butt-nekkid and covered in crude oil with an empty bottle of arak, any ways...

Odds are very good that Arsenal will come out before '07, and pretty much nonexistent that Unwired will do so (seeing as how we haven't begun writing it yet--the books currently being worked on are Emergence (due out very soon), Arsenal, Augmentation, and the earliest parts of Corporate Enclaves). |

I can't say a lot about Holostreets because I don't know a lot about Holostreets. I'm reasonably sure that at least some of its content will be by subscription only like BattleCorps, but that's about the extent of my knowledge about it. |

Well, to be fair this is based off listening to the podcast of Rob at Origins last year, but I seem to remember that it was described as basically that with the added benefit that Fanpro might cull some talent for freelancer work from Holostreets like they do with Battlecorps/Battletech (something I find not the least bit humorous because that would likely make Critias a strong candidate to write official SR material if he submitted material to HS, and I doubt any current freelancers would want that).
But since there's as much progress going on as there was last June, I figure I'll battle the moon first. |

We already have late August, so nearly every month of remaining year will see the release of a new sourcebook? Sure. |

I'm not a freelancer, but I would like to see Critias in the team. :) |

There you go generalizing and making false assumptions - again. |

What I've seen in Street Magic makes me very eager for Arsenal and Augmentation. Emergence I'm not so interested in, personally.

It appears that everybody loves you around here too, but if you can write well, hit deadlines, honor NDAs, and play well with the other freelancers and developers (in other words, be professional) then there's no reason why you couldn't be considered as well, assuming you're interested. Dumpshock history doesn't always translate to success or failure as a freelancer. |

Well, that's where we hit the snag, now, isn't it? Because I, well, opinionated, and that makes me tend to take a pretty hard line with something important enough to me to even want to join the team to write. Not to say I don't. I really, really want to write certain specific material. |

Indeed. The overall design, structure and mechanics of the module set a quite high standard for those to come. |

Opinionated isn't a problem--the problem is being opinionated without knowing when to let it go. We want people to come up with good ideas and poke holes in bad ones--that's how we find problems and stuff that doesn't work--but at some point, a decision has to be made. The trick is knowing when to back off and accept the fact that your input on an issue has been considered, either accepted or rejected, and the subject is now closed so we can move on. |
