Every now and again life steps in and reminds you that this is just a game. Best of luck, Dances.

Subject:  [Rage] Notes From Azrael

      
    Hi All,

    I have a couple of things I wanted to address to the Rage public at large.
    Those of you with websites, please disseminate this information to the
    community.

    First off, it is with great sadness that I announce that Dances With
    Shadows, Bobby Turman, will be stepping down from his official duties at
    Azrael.  Certain family concerns have surfaced eating up his time.  Dances
    will continue the planning and execution of this year's Stone Rivers
    Challenge.

    For those of you who don't know, Dances has been instrumental in the
    continuing of Rage, and our push at Azrael to continue both games.  He will
    be missed, but a place will always be left for him should he wish to return.

    The next note is more official business.  We have begun planning stages for
    the development of new cards for Rage: The Apocalypse.  I wanted to put out
    the official word that at this time we are not accepting submissions for
    card ideas.  The reason for this is one more of licensing concerns.

    All material we develop for the game must first be approved by White Wolf
    before any form of publication.  Basically, we jeopardize our license if we
    release material that White Wolf hasn't seen or approved.  This includes our
    storyline material as well.  At some point during our design process we will
    be accepting card ideas from the Rage community, but we will have to make it
    clear the legal ramifications of accepting those ideas.
