Well, there's the scenarios in the Narrator's book, on the website and various fan publications. Sartar rising is slated for May - certainly likely to appear before the Lunar Handbook. Not too dreadful over all, though perhaps not that apparent to the uninitiated. Perhaps the website needs to be pushed harder in future releases - especially the Heroes book.
Most support for, eg, world of darkness has been in the form of source books rather than scenarios. Certainly sales and interest appear to have been far higher round here for non-scenario stuff for that system, so I'm not convinced that Issaries strategy is wrong. I certainly wouldn't be recommending all my players to go buy a scenario pack, while I have pushed them to get Thunder Rebels. There are also very, very few rpgs that have ever had supplements of the standard of Thunder Rebels...
I seem to recall that Pendragon went for some time with no scenarios - may be some connection?
Cheers,
Graham
