[UA] The Bartman Baseball

[James McGraw]

Thing is, with UA all politics are local. It's true
that a game set in the UK won't involve TNI, The Naked
Goddess, Dirk Allen, the Freak, Mak Attax and Satan's
Chosen Temple trying to find the true identity of
Saint-Germain, but neither will must US-set games. It
seems as if most people just make up an underground
local to the area of their game and run with that,
feeling free to ignore or use most of the published
material as they see fit.

My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
                      - G.K. Chesterton
