heh.

let me think a while about bombers here...

thank you for filling my mailbox :) ('nuff said)

about the hormones story:
* no corp is ever gonna allow some sicko bandit steal their profits. right?
so, hormon trade has been taken over by corps. i know, it's called
"underworld", but the biggest part of this are the corps in my opinion!
[still brooding...]
* now the trade is supposedly in mafia hands (in a roundabaout way), but not
anymore. now the trade is to make animals look tasty and bodybuilders look
- well - bodybuilded. but in 2056, hormones can be used for a larger variety
of things. and made untraceable. raagh - this is getting weird.

[gee i like these brainstorms on e-mail. my phone company does also!]

yes. i might be in for a submission. the rest of brainstorm will be continued
privately (have mercy!) so you guys don't have to read my drivel :)

about the world.book.thing - anybody interested in belgium :) ?

cheers,
bert

IMHO, no. Corps should feature *very little* in Underworld. We already
know how they do their business, from Corporate Shadowfiles. That book
isn't very useful for actually running a game, but I found it contained
good background info. Anyway, even though corps can effectively do what
they please, they still have to abide by the laws of other countries in
some cases -- for example, if Aztechnology's dairy farm #26843P is on UCAS
territory, they cannot just do things there that are illegal in the UCAS.
Now I believe hormone treatments for animals are allowed in the USA at the
moment, but they're a BIG "no" in the European Union.

Read your mail off-line :)

> about the world.book.thing - anybody interested in belgium :) ?

I had been thinking of pulling that together with the Netherlands -- split
Belgium in to and make Flanders part of NL. FASA doesn't seem to know what
happened around these parts (I live maybe 25 km from the Dutch/Belgian
border), so some books seem to say Belgium doesn't exist anymore as a
separate country, and others imply it does...
