If we were to do a book with descriptions of places, I'd want it to cover
places the world over, not just North America. I've seen a good text
about Denmark (BTW, sorry I haven't replied to it yet, Helge :), I've got
something on my HD that needs some work, and I know other people are also
typing up stuff about the city or country they live or run in.

Keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to start from scratch: if
you've already written up your home town and posted it on the WWW
somewhere, that can be used just as well (as long as you don't use stuff
that other people hold the rights to, mind).

If we assemble all this into a book, and add more material, it could be a
good, solid resource for players and GMs.

I don't think it's proper English, no :) Anyway, it could become a very
thick book, if this generates the response you seem to expect (in my
experience it doesn't, BTW).

I'll get together with the other players and the GM from my group (who
aren't subscribed to NERPS), and see if we can put together some
Australian information. Ray Macey, Peter Bailey (or any other
Brisbanites), if you're on this list, want to work with our group and put
together some Brisbane info? I'm quite happy to act as editor/compiler
for the Australian contingent.
