*** SHAMELESS HYPE ALERT...skip this message if crass commercialism bugs
you! ***

After a long dry spell, Atlas Games is about to release NORTHWEST PASSAGE,
a CYBERPUNK 2020 RPG adventure set in the cold wilderness of Alaska. 
Written by Andrew Lucas and Jeff Ranger; cover art by Doug Shuler;
interior art by C. Brent Ferguson; maps by John Marshall.  64 pages, SRP
$10 (US).

The book is in our warehouse and shipping to distributors next week.

A note on availability: Distributors' orders are *pathetic* right now. 
Because of things like the collectable card game market (making tight cash
flow, insolvent retailers, etc.), distributors are ordering more
conservatively than I thought possible.  What this means for the consumer
is that you may have to *ask* to get the book from your local store,
especially if they're too busy trying to stock "the next magic" to keep up
to date on those role-playing games.

If you can't seem to get the book from your local stores, mail order
remains an option.  You can send check/money order for $10 + $2.50 p&h to
Atlas Games, PO Box 131233, Roseville, MN, 55113 and we'll send a copy
straight to you.  We can't take credit cards ourselves, but if you send us
a visa/MC/discover order (needing name, card #, exp. date, and signature)
we *will* pass the order along to a local game retailer who will fill it.
