Cheetah missing from new AtB, HU2

[hansnhsu]

Revised TMNT had a Cheetah. After the Bomb doesn't. Neither does HU2.

Now HU Revised didn't have the Cheetah and I can understand HU in general not having it as it's supposed to be just a subset of TMNT.

And I can understand AtB wanting to focus on North American animals.

But with TMNT no longer in active publication, AtB is supposed to replace it- and it SHOULD include every animal that TMNT did, no exceptions.

Secondly, the rule about restricting AtB to North American animals isn't consistent. Sure, Tigers are omitted and AtB's full list of Mammals on pg. 16 tells you to refer to HU2. But it includes African Lions.

I'm mostly disappointed because I expected the Full List of Animals on pp. 15-17 to really be a complete full list (excepting Transdimensional dinosaurs and Insects from Mutants in Orbit.)
But it's missing the Cheetah from TMNT, which leads me to wonder if there are any other animals that were left out.

Yeah, I saw that.

How official is it?

Not at all. But since there won't be any more After the Bomb books for a long time it's all there is.

Kinda hard to write books when you're traveling the globe, huh Erick?

Anyway, I'm glad that you don't take the approach used with the Rifts books. You give us GMs just enough material to build something from and let us work from there.
