Yeah, JD is supposed to do Shadowlore II, but he has been really busy the
past few months or so...real life, don't you know. Gurth, upon prodding, has
asked JD about it a few times and JD always says something to the effect of
"Don't worry about it, I'll get it done when I get some free time (which is
always supposed to be coming soon)." Oh well.

Your ideas for NERPS stuff aren't bad, but they don't fit real well with the
current Underworld project. Your bit on Munich might be real good for the
possible next project, which looks like a Neo-Anarchists Guide to the Globe
(or, Rest of the World) type of thing. So sit tight with that thought.

What about a "Threat" for Underworld? I've got the new Threats book, and
there is always room for more. I've got an idea or two. But would a secret
society be enough "Underworld'? I think the right one could be. Any
thoughts? I could probably tie it in with the Hormone bit.

BTW, good to see you back Paolo.

Now common people. LET'S GET THIS DAMN PROJECT FINISHED!!!
Sorry, I'm just looking forward to the future here on NERPS, which means
Underworld needs to be finished.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll keep them in mind for future books. At the
moment, we're trying to get Underworld finished :)

If it will deal mainly with street-level stuff and not so much
high-and-mighty corps and magic, it may be a good submission for
Underworld. If not, save it for the world book that's next on the Things
To Do list.

A nice idea, but one that will hardly fit in with the current project, if
you ask me.

You are about 2 months too late with this :) I think you should take a
look at Paolo's page, go to the NERPS section, and download NERPS: Edge
Runners. That has lots of peoples' characters in it, for GMs to use as
NPCs in their campaigns.

It's June, you know :)

That about sums up SL2's statuts, yes. I offered J.D. to finish it for
him, but he said he would have the time shortly, when he could stop doing
the things other people should be doing in his opinion...

We still need that adventure that Fro was going to write, to complement
the Hormones article. How far has that progressed?

*conspirational whisper* We agreed not to tell them yet! :)

(Now that will have made them curious *grin*)

Not an adventure, but could probably be adapted to one. I'll get on it,
like, right now, instead of reading Just Compensation and downloading Visual
Basic for Dos.
