I could swear it wasn't that long ago that I has doing this, but I
can't let you off the hook for a quarter. So here we go...

1. I absolutely loved Caravel. Everything about it. And I was
intrigued by the mini-suppliment format. Would you envision anything
along those lines for FFE?

2. And while I'm sucking up, I can't wait to get my hands on a FFE
Sparks set. Is this in the works? Would you hold on to it until
closer to the full release or could publish it as a teaser?

3. Finally, a noir pastiche:

*****
When I woke up, there was blood on my shirt and I was pretty sure it
was mine. I felt my hands behind me, tied securely together by
someone who knew his knots. A sailor, maybe. My mind was wandering,
so I shook my head and tried to right it again.

"Hey, Mugs. I think he's awake."

I looked up through my swollen lids and saw a swine of a man in a
sharp suit step into the dim light. His wet, piggy eyes took me in
like he was looking for a choice cut. "I'm glad to see you lived, Mr.
Cassaday. My boy here hit you pretty hard and I thought he was on his
way to the pen."

I could keep my heavy lips from smiling. "I won't report him if you
let me go."

Piggy snorted. "Come now, Mr. Cassaday. We have business to do. Just
tell me where the broad is and Mugs won't have to hit you again."

Mugs cracked his knuckles and I waited for the blow to fall.
*****

Which leads me to my last question: while I feel the combat needs
good crunchy rules to keep uncertainty in the game, social
interactions are a hazier matter. How much dice-rolling goes into
things like Interrogation and Seduction in FFE?

Have a great day!!
