It seems that since they are Canadian, the diving U.S. dollar has really hammered them hard. Apparently, even though they had their best year ever sales-wise, they took a real hit to their bottom line. They have apparently laid off all their staff and are operating on a one-person skeleton crew.Anyway, they make great games, I think. It all has been really well written and well thought out (except, of course, their Canadian insistence on spelling words like "Armour.") I mean, their anime guides, even if they didn't have the game information, are a ton of fun to read. Plus they are really nice people and their books are just beautiful. Big Eyes Small Mouth, their main game, is a cool anime game with versions for D20 and their own Tri-Stat system. Same for Silver Age Sentinels (D20 and Tri-Stat versions.)So, if you ever had the thought that "Hey, I might just pick that game up someday," now would be a really good time to do it. The Stingy Gamer Edition of Silver Age Sentinels is like $10, or they have a version of Tri-Stat Silver Age Sentinels that is $15 for the hardback (it had a printing error where the art turned out too dark.) In fact, I just bought the too-dark book so we would have an extra copy of the Tri-Stat rules, should we ever want to try that.Here is their main Web site:<a href="http://www.iguardians.net/store/" target="_blank">Guardians of Order Catalog</a> Here is the Rarities and Oddities site with some older, out of print stuff including the printing error SAS Tri-Stat<a href="http://www.iguardians.net/store/rare.php" target="_blank">Guardians of Order Rarities</a> (And yes, if I could figure out how to come up with the $150, I would buy their Guardians of Order hockey jersey in a heartbeat.)That's the end of my pitch.</blockquote>
