RE> Re: Authors & Articles
To Net Enhancements for Roleplaying Shadowrun<NERPS@********.itribe.net>


Could I make a request here? Can we make sure that these
contributions from Paolo's site at least sort of fit in with
FASA's vision of the world? I haven't seen this "San Diego
Free Trade Zone" thing, but according to FASA, San Diego is
owned by the Azzies and something of a military town. So I
seriously doubt it is a FTZ city.

I don't want to stifle creativity or anything, but shouldn't
we at least try to work within the guidelines set up by
FASA? I would really like to see a strong level of
consistency with our NERPS net.book with everything that
FASA has published. It gives it a certain level of
legitimacy that we wouldn't have if we start going on wild
tangents.

In other words, I cast my vote against including the San
Diego Free Trade Zone into the NERPS: NAGTRW.

I requested the authors for permission, nothing else. We're free to take or
leave anything we want, so if san diego is out of the story, let's drop it.
But I suggest first to take a look at it, it didn't feel so unreasonable...

I whole&%teadly (damn long words) agree, I'm doing extend research to make
sure my submission fits with everything published by FASA. A wonderful tool
(little plug) is the Timeline Explorer, along with the availability of most
sourcebooks :)

I could agree, but first give it a look Erik

Bye, Paolo
