Rob, I still favor compiling those three subjects into one book, And
I also think a title with a movie term is the way to go. I'm trying
to come up with a term, but the best so far are either vague or lackluster:

NERPS: for GMs
NERPS: Producer's Handbook
NERPS: Value Pak
NERPS: for the lazy
NERPS: ofr those with a life outside of gaming
NERPS: Backdrops

I gave some thought to three different books, but I think in the end we
are going to have A LOT of material, at least 50 pages each. I think
putting each of them seperate not oly gives us three 'somethings' to have
available, but also allow GMs to know exactly what book they need without
having to doo much page flipping.

I also like a sort of 'movie-motif'.

Of couse, GURPS already has 'GURPS: Supporting Cast' :-(

Anyone have any ideas? Bueller? Bueller?

I have to say I like the 3 book idea, for the same reasons that Rob
said: You know which book to go to!!!

=> NERPS: Backdrops
I LIKE THIS ONE!!!

I think this idea has been suggested before but how doe the title Cast of
Shadows sound?

Supposedly each individual has only two original thoughts in his or her
lifetime. Just throwing out trivia to the masses. There is nothing so
pleasing as disemination of information.
