I know they're a small company... but if you don't tell your customers
what you're doing and when it'll be available for sale, you just loose
business.

No website is better than the mess they have at the moment, they should
take it down and have a single blog on the front page. Yes they were
big, they fell hard... time to go back to basics.

Conspiracy X 2.0 is one of their hidden gems, the new source book is
available for pre-order from Paizo - no mention of it on their own
website, or a release estimate.

Totally agree, the Unisystem is one of the better generic systems, in
either the Classic or Cinematic flavour. Witchcraft plus supplements is
also a great game. Abandoned in favour of other games... such a shame.

Small companies need to give us constant updates... if not, we lose
interest and miss the release and don't buy the stuff. Did you know ESP
Volume 3 was out? Stealth release equals no sales.

(Sorry for rant, just annoys me)
