Subject: [BLUE PLANET] - Back from GenCon!

Hey All, 

We are just back from GenCon, and much fun was had by all. We did a little 
biz, hung out with some cool people, and ran lots o' Blue Planet - six 
sessions if my weary brain remembers right. 

Hey hey to all the list members that came to the dinner (yeah Toy's buffet!) 
and/or played in the "members only" BP session Saturday night. Chris, Brian, 
Andie (sp?), Ron, Chip and Mike - thanks for the enthusiasm and for not quite 
killing "the wild thing"... and for understanding when we were forced to move 
when the Porn Star game took over the room ; ).

Though just home, I am leaving first thing tommorrow for a much anticipated 
vacation, and will not be back until the 23rd. As a result I will be offline, 
but I have a *hypothetical* question to post to the list before I go. We 
would appreciate any sincere and considered comments you might have and I 
look forward to seeing a massive discussion thread when I get home.


The set up:

Biohazard would love to be able to produce more, and more frequent, Blue 
Planet products, and we know you would all like that as well. For many 
reasons, this has not been possible thus far. As a result, we have been 
considering ways to change the way we do business so that we can increase our 
productivity, but maintain the quality and qualities of the BP line we all 
dig. 

One option we have considered is an alliance of one sort or another with a 
larger, more financially capable company.

*Hypothetically* if we were to join forces with one company, they would 
*hypothetically* want a second addition Blue Planet. It would:

1. consist of BP and Archipelago combined into a two book (player's and 
moderator's), hardcover set

2. have tons of new and cool artwork 

3. feature a continuation of the Blue Planet future history  - say a rich and 
turbulent decade or so.

4. be followed by a 4-5 book per year release schedule, starting with the 
immeadiate release of Fluid Mechanics.

We have learned to rely on the opinions of our list members and so... 


The question:

If this *hypothetical* possibility were to come to fruition, what would you 
all think about the above take on a second edition of Blue Planet, and the 
oportunities/concerns such an alliance might bring?



Thanks all, 

Jeff "Bound for Moab" Barber
