Okay, you asked for it... :)

1) The Neo-Anarchists' Guide To The World (NAGTTW) is the current NERPS
project, because most of the ideas have gone into this direction. We may
start up another project before this one is finished, but don't hold your
breath just yet.

2) Off-limits material: this is split into countries and cities; for
example, North America still has lots of open areas, because only th major
cities have really been covered by FASA.

Countries (each has a sourcebook devoted to it):
Caribean League
California Free State (disregard Los Angeles in NAGEE 1)
Germany
Ireland (Tir na nOg)
United Kindgom
Tir Tairngire

Cities (ditto, except as noted):
Chambana, Illinois (see NAGEE 4)
Chicago (Bug City)
Dayton, Ohio (see NAGEE 6)
Denver (actually, the whole of the Front Range Free Zone)
Las Vegas (see NAN 1, NAGEE 1&5)
New York City (more specifically, Manhattan; see NAGNA, disregard
NAGEE 2)
North Bay (near Detroit, UCAS; see NAGEE 2)
Pueblo (the city, not the Pueblo Corporate Council; see NAGEE 4)
Quebec City (see NAGNA)
Seattle

Borderline Cases (these have been covered somewhat vaguely by FASA or
someone else I know of, and so we can write articles about them as long
as they don't contradict published material):
Amazonia
Azania (South America)
CAS
China & Hong Kong
Colombia (the South American country, see NAGEE 6)
Japan
Native American Nations (all of them)
Quebec
Salt Lake City (see NAN 1)
Tibet
UCAS

This seems to be a fairly comprehensive list, but if someone has something
to add to it, please do.

3) It's best if articles get written by people actually from the area. If
those are unavailable, the next best choice is someone who has some
actual experience with the place (like having lived there for some time,
or even having been on holiday there once). Someone without any
first-hand experience of the place would come last.

I encourage everyone who wants to write something, to pick a city or a
country of his or her choice, and then refer to point 4.

4) For examples of the way to write, refer to FASA books like NAN 1 & 2,
California Free State, Seattle Sourcebook, and so on. In short, write
from a shadowrunner's perspective, write a tourist guide with additions
made by shadowrunners, or both.

The following points should preferably be addressed at the least:
* Basic statistics (population, population density, corporate
affiliation, poverty levels, etc.)
* History (of the area in the 21st century)
* Basic tourist information (when to go, where to go, how to get there,
currency, health care, and so on)
* Basic shadowrunner information (who pays, where are they, how to
find them, who to avoid and why, how to get into the place illegally)
* Relative prices for goods (compared to Seattle levels) and possibly
also legal info (basic laws and punishments for violating them)
* Places of interest (both for tourists and runners)
* Other stuff that's necessary to know

If you are planning on doing an entire country, it's best if you do all
the above for both the whole country and at least one major city (the
capital, most likely).

If you can, draw a map of the country or city. For countries, I think a
map is almost essential, for cities a bit less so. This can be done
either on a computer, or by hand; if by hand, you'll want to have access
to a scanner (contact me privately <gurth@******.nl> if no scanner is
available to you, but you want to include a hand-drawn map anyway.

Drawing maps can be pretty simple, just find an atlas, place a paper over
the country of choice, and copy the outline and major areas, then fill in
the details.

5) Announce your intention to write about your choice on the list, so
everyone knows who will do what. I'll keep track of this, so if there are
any questions, address them to the list or to me.

Underworld was decided upon about a year ago, not long after I took over
as editor. Now I want to finish another book, to set a record :) (Rob has
done two, J.D. is still editing his first, I've done 1 1/2 now...)

Id like to write something about my home country iceland. I posted something
a few days ago about this but im not sure it went through.The problem is
that id
have to contradict something Fasa has written.Mainly that Iceland had been
turned over the the Trans-polar-aleut nation after the war.There are a
number of points for this.
1). Iceland has never had a native Population all who live here are colonists
2). Neather Canada nor America could have turned the country over to the TPA
since it isnt thiers to give.Its in fact much more likely Iceland would
have
joined the Scandinavian coalition Considering the past political action.

I got around this problem in my game by having Iceland Split from the TPA in 54
Creating a country governed much like pueblo.

Phew :) Thanks for putting Quebec on this list. A friend and I are writing
up a full sized sourcebook on Quebec, that we have submitted as a proper
proposal to FASA, so we have our fingers crossed :) You can keep a secret,
can't ya?

Where does it say that Iceland is a part of Trans-Polar Aleut? I can't say
as I've ever seen that. Maybe it was NAN #2...

In about a week or so I'm going to post my general "overview" of the world,
called a Geo-Political Primer. Gurth, and everyone else, just because I have
a paragraph on a country doesn't mean someone else can't flesh it out. In
fact it would be preferable to do so. Point in case: I have Iceland as
being virtually the same as it is today (Perhaps no other nation has changed
as little as...). However, since a native has precedence and more knowledge,
when it comes time to edit, just axe my little bit out and insert this other
fellows material.

I won't send in my maps until the text is done. At that time I can edit my
current maps to reflect the lists changes.

Sound good?

I may be interested in doing a piece on Australia - I've lived there for
over a decade. However, since I'm new to this stuff, someone will have to
tell me how to do this!

I also need some info on Australia in 2050 or whatever. From Fields of
Fire, I know that we have mercs escorting people through the deserts etc,
but what about its world status. I don't want to contradict anybody who
is already published!

See ya,

This is fine by me. I don't own NAN2 (I should buy it some day, I think)
but from what I know of Iceland it sounds illogical that it would be part
of the NAN. The split seems a good way of getting it out, mainly because
it won't contradict things that have already happened in the SR timeline
-- if, OTOH, you'd have gone and made up a whole new history for Iceland
in the 21st century, I would have to think hard about it.

Oh, and one more thing (this goes for everyone, not just Olafur): it's
been said on ShadowRN recently, and it also applies to NERPS: don't quote
hundreds of lines and add your own text to the very end of it. Remove all
the stuf you're not replying to directly. Thank you.

It's not hard, just write up something the way FASA does.

FASA was supposed to come out with an Australia sourcebook this year, but
then it was postponed until early '97, and after that they moved it to
early '98. I think we can touch Australia safely, knowing FASA books that
get postponed that often/far will either take even longer to get out, or
be dropped altogether.

We know Australia was (is?) fighting a war in New Guinnea, possibly with
Indonesia (that's my guess) but at least with some guerrillas. That,
however, is all I can remember at the moment. There are more Aussies on
the list, so you might want to contact them about this idea.

First off, hello all. Anyway.

About the CAS, living on the gulf coast I have used some material off
the top
of my head and compiled a campaign for use in this area. I haven't seen
much
written by FASA on the Gulf coast, and seen very little on
Louisiana<NAGEE 2
I think>.

Though problem is didn't write anything down and not sure if I could
come up
with something suitable enough for the NAGTTW. If someone wishes to
collaborate with me on this area I'd be glad to do it.

I have a few ideas on the panhandle of Florida<area I live>. Should I go
ahead and start milling ideas?

Sure. There should be other listmembers from what is the CAS in SR, so
perhaps you could discuss it together?

I wouldn't mind collaborating with you on this one, since (despite
British citizenship) I've lived in Australia all my life. Could well be
helpful to share ideas, like...

And the only reason I didn't speak up sooner was that I thought Australia
was off limits due to the Australian sourcebook due out in '98 (maybe).

articles for this publication (or is that distribution).
I am living currently in New Zealand and have written a guide to New
Zealand for shadowrunners. I will get around to rewriting this in
about 2-3 weeks.
it might take a month to get it RIGHT but if this is no problem I
will submit it then.

By the way is there any one else from little ol' New Zealand on the
list.

Ok I think something might have been missed. The list included a lot of
places in this world, but it missed a major spot that with the Califorinia
sourcebook I've been thinking about it even more. If this thing is going to
be about the world why not include the seas? After all there is a lot of
potential. I admit most of the operations under the seas would be corporate,
but where else to have runs. All the fun of a normal run on top of the
chance everyone could drown with the cutting of one tube. (Sounds like a
good way to get rid of those newbie munchies to me.) If there is support for
this idea I am willing to collaborate with someone but I can't do it all
myself right now. Bottom line I think it could be a lot of fun and a place
where we could have almost free range.

Comment? suggestions?

I agree. Especially where areas near the coastline are described, it'd be nice
to be able to have some references. And the seas is not just a large area of
the earth, but a big topic too, that should be devided further, since i do
doubt all the oceans are alike, or the north or the baltic sea, or... well,
you know.

There is no deadline as yet. Quite likely (going by previous NERPS
books), it will be several months at least before articles get posted, so
your 3+ weeks is not a problem at all :)

>about the seas
Snip snip

I agree ive been wondering arent there any undersea citys. Maybe Japan would
be the first to try something like that and then what about deep sea mining
and such ive been trying to write up an adventure were my runners get into a
sort of Abyss like fix.So i say definetly include something about the sea.

Also someone asked about Antartica, well i was reading through the Corporate
shadowfiles and there on page 22 there is a mention that Renraku has An
Archology there ao why not any other companys.

I've got a fair amount of notes from my own attempt to
create an underwater aqualogy. If your really serious
about this let me know and we can talk about it.

There was a three or four magazine supplement on New Orleans in White Wolf
Magazine a year or so ago, got them in my library somewhere.
