Well, for just the Humour Value (tm), I go along with Rob.

How about Voting for it then folks ?

Everyone could throw in a title and we could vote for one

Me - I vote for NERPS or should I say NERPS For Tomes ?


-WHAT

I put my hat into the ring and side with J.

Just plain, good ol', NERPS.

There are many types of articles in this incarnation of NERPS. Maybe
they should be divided in various NERPS: xxx net.books.... As I see
it like a bunch of binders, where any contribute can be added to the
right place. NERPS: Tech, NERPS: Magic,.... but, then again, it
sounds too much like GURPS...:)

I also like the idea of splitting the project up by subject. That would
break it into smaller files which would make it easier for people withsmall
accounts to FTP them one at a time if they collectively take up too much space.

After some thought and reading of the various title suggestions,
I reckon NERPS isn't 'Nothing Ever Really Pleases Steve/Scott/Whatever',
but 'Nothing Ever Really Pleases SHADOWRN'...

:-)

I refuse to anthropomorphize a GAME.

It was the list I was referring to, i.e. everyone on it. Ah never mind...

I like NERPS. It works for our purpose and is usable for mulitple projects.
Besides NASGUL does really cover what the Net.Book has in it. As for coming
up with a better name, names are harder than ideas.
