> This reminds me, Shadowlore 2 ???...... :)

(For the rest of Mark's points/ideas, see my other reply to his message,
as I wanted to make a separate thread out of this.)

Shadows Of The Mind, ShadowLore II, and DragonLore are currently all
compiled in a single file on my HD, which is nearly finished. It has a
layout that reminds me very much of the way ShadowLore and Foundations
look after Rob Hayden's editing, for nostalgic purposes :)

Now all I really need is a name for it, with which I hope you can all help
out once again. Yes, I know that a great many of you will never even have
heard of the above projects because you joined after they were "finished,"
but neither did I participate in any except DragonLore, so you're not
alone :)

Well done!

Well i also only got involved in the latter (origonally NEPRS Dragons
and other paranormal creatures) due to when i joined the list!

This does pose the problem of what do some of the sections contain,
'NEPRS guide to the paranormal' or similar would cover a lot of the
stuff but i think a few part finished projects which are incompatible
with that sort of name have been thrown in the mix over the years.

I've had a quick peek (I'm a proofer nyah nyah!:)
Looks pretty smooth, and the filesize is small. I haven't had time to Read
it yet, but I'll try to get it printed today and proof it over the next few
days.

I've read through the old logs, I almost feel like I was there for it..
I like the current title: 'NERPS: Forgotten Treasures'
I realize it's not hugely great for indicating what is inside the book, but
it seems appropriate.

NERPS: Dragons? Psionics? Shadowlore? :)

Seriously though, "NERPS: Forgotten Treasures" sounds good.

How about NERPS: The Vault?

Uh - Oh ... this is starting to sound like a White Wolf game "Monster: the

NERPS has always been like that, though... And we're not specifically
looking for an adjective but probably one or more nouns and/or pronouns :)

I like Lost & Found better than Forgotten Treasures, BTW.

What about something like "The missing files"? It would ride the wave
of the current "Files"-mania :)

Actually, it's "Monster: the Noun". Not adjective. :P Or, to be more
precise, "Noun: the Noun", since I'm not sure if a Mage is a monster
(Or a Monster, even)...

I still propose EITHER the opportunistic "NERPS, the missing Files"
to ride the wave of the current "files"mania, or "Nerps: you don't
have all life, chummer" meaning that we don't have all life to write
books :) BTW what _exactly_ does "chummer" mean? In my opinion, it is
the sound you make before spitting! :)

What about "superstition: the negative personality aspect"? :)

Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Shouldn't this be "NERP: you don't
have a life, chummer" (or "we don't have a life"), meaning we don't
have a life to be writing all these books. :>

> books :) BTW what _exactly_ does "chummer" mean? In my opinion, it is

Isn't this a derivative of "my chum, here..." or sumpthin like that?
