Yes, and the "Example Potions" section explains how it was created. It generally matches the rules they put forth in the rulebooks - just a short distance, just enough to cross those Zones and Zone Borders.

Oh my...I suddenly have an idea for a "Transporter" type character who can port his car across places...some form of Focused Practitioner or Lesser Talent maybe. Or maybe like the movie "Jumper" teleport attacks! Yes I know it was a pretty lame movie but the idea is cool.

Hi Fred,

Will the new book include the bad guys from the short stories after Small Favor? I'm most interested in those that were in "Last Call", "Even Hand", and "Aftermath."

Guys,

definitely email the team and ask them questions.  I got answers in less than a day (and I think I gave them an idea for part of the clarification chapter  :o )

That's because they don't just believe in customer service, they LIVE it. They're gamers, too, and they understand exactly what you're going through.

Would love to see a possible write up, or at least glance over of Edinburgh...

This would be nice, maybe a write-up of some of the Wardens as well (Chandler, Meyers, etc.)

I'll second the look at Chandler; I want to see the stats on the man the rest of the Council trusts to hold a checkpoint alone... and the rest of the Wardens trust to make food for them.

Any new Rumors? 

Meaty bits to tease the taste buds?

Still hard at work. The Neverglades got a new draft recently. The Catch Up chapter is a beast that threatens to feast upon the succulent eyemeats of the Underkoffler. Rob Donoghue's chapter on the open road is sounding more and more interesting. Vegas is coming together, as are others, too, while the Russian Revolution has nearly reached its feverish conclusion.

Thanks for the update, Fred!

Does the book cover the novels up to Changes, or does it cover [quite soon to be released] Ghost Story as well? I am asking as I assume that the Rumours-book won't be out until after Ghost Story is available.
