Removed this contact info:

Their phone number is 512-447-7866. Their fax is 512-447-1144. Their general e-mail address is sjgames@io.com. Their mailing address is PO Box 18957, Austin TX 78760. Their shipping address is 2700-A Metcalfe, Austin, TX 78741-5630.

It is not encyclopedic (IMHO) and can be found on their web site. Their site is a better place for this kind of info since it may change. -Frecklefoot

So why DID the raid happen?

edit

The article only mentions the -mistaken- reasons for the raid, and that everything about it being a part of Operation Sundevil was false, even if common perception by the public... ...so.... what WAS the real reason for the raid? You'd think, being an encyclopedia article, this would be mentioned... or does nobody know why they raided? --I am not good at running 01:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Reply


The Steve Jackson Games website has their account of what happened at http://www.sjgames.com/SS/ , and a retyped (not by them, apparently) copy of the secret service affidavit at http://www.sjgames.com/SS/affidavit.html . The reason (after a brief glance) appears to be that one of the writers of GURPS: Cyberpunk ran a BBS that the sercret service believed had illegally reposted/ distributed the Bell South E911 Practice text file which had been stolen and not legal to distribute. 66.93.216.231 19:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Although the Bell South E911 practice text file was available from Bell South on request for $13.00 which came out in the trial. Originally Bell South pressured the Secret Service that the file was proprietary information, this was found later to be untrue. Timmccloud 22:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unencyclopedic list tag

edit

What exactly is "unencyclopedic" about the list of games produced by this company? It seems highly relevant and is organized in a reasonable manner. I plan on removing the tag in one week unless someone can explain why it should stay. -Chunky Rice 20:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

User 75.167.196.110 has added three newish dice games to the article. (Thanks!) For easy of reference, here are the pages at SJG's website: Cthulhu Dice, Zombie Dice, Proteus. Cheers, CWC 09:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
