something like FTL: 2448 or Fringeworthy and wrote material for it, nowadays
the Internet makes it comparatively easy to make useful contacts that keep

Oh yeah! Thanks to PDF's I was able to track down the one Flashing Blades supplement I didn't have. FGU, among others has returned from the grave thanks to PDFs. In the long run, I suspect just about every RPG that isn't tied to a lisenced setting will be brought back eventually. No reason not to.
