Uh, gawrsh. I'd need to go back and look at that essay again. Off the top 
of my head, I'm now even more convinced than I was then that IP 
pollination is critical to big RPG success. Based on the interview with 
the estimable John Wick that appears in the new Pyramid, and on 
Alderac/FRPG's handling of the L5R properties, I'd lay odds that they'll 
make 7TH SEA into a smash.
