MMP is a healthy business guys, what is not really known, or perhaps not entirely obvious, is during 2002 for the most part possibly a lot of work was done, 2001 as well (who knows maybe early I am not the owner).
They just didn't take over ASL from a dying business on behalf of Hasbro, they had to take a game as massive as ASL (and lets face it can you think of a bigger game than ASL?) and completely re establish it with new printers.
No small task. Picture that under that light, and they did an awesome amount of work in 2002.
2003 has seen them up and releasing entirely new product that hadn't even existed, plus they have re established the Journal to take over for the original Annuals.
Additionally, they are more than ASL.
But it does take a bit of luck under even ideal conditions to read supply and demand correctly. So I am not concerned that ASL Rule book 2nd Edition sold out in short order. Actually that is a good sign, it means there is no shortage of aggressive ASL playing people out there.
I would not call them shoestring and desperate, just a small business with a major product and a large demand.
I won't be passing judgement on MMP till the end of 2005.
