[UA] The Future of UA?

[Pablo Valcárcel]

What can one say after this? I can't help but agree with it ;).

It's sad anyway, I always thought that the UA line was very cleverly 
planned, first the one-shots to start gaming, then the very useful for 
players and gms alike books ond Magic, Avatars and the NI, and after 
that "Weep" and the 2nd edition. I just can't believe looking at the 
quality of the work, and how well was everything planned, that the line 
wasn't succesful. Maybe UA could have used some player guides or 
something like that to increase a little bit the sales, but that's the 
only thing I can think of.

One thing I'm really interested in knowing is: Had you mr. Tynes or mr. 
Stolze anything planned for the game? I mean, had you in mind any future 
books? And what was the story behind the Naked Goddess (Hey I had to try 
it ;)).
