Just got a DriveThru email about changes to Double Blind, Wolf Pack and Wolves on the Border.  Guessing a re release of classic Battletech and Shadowrun novels.

How's that mash up with Battletech though?  And am I reading that these are novels right?

It's not a "mash up"...it's a new (well, old) range of products available for each of the lines. Still haven't seen the formal announcement yet, but it looks like they've finally secured the rights to re-release all(?) of the fiction originally released under the FASA banner.

Oooh. If we're getting a return of the FASA lore, is there a chance that we may see more (veiled) ED references?

+1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Or not so veiled. I know, I know The current FASA is not really interested in tying that knot back together (neither, IMO, is CGL) but the 5th world needs its 3rd world and I want to run an Obsidiaman street sam up against some Troll corp muscle.

I hope you mean 4th and 6th world respectively, right?

Late night with lots of paint fumes. Yes, I did. But you would need the 3rd and 5th as well
