Maybe not so many, but for those who'd like to write something for
Underworld but have no ideas what about, here are some ideas:

* Gangs: how are they built up? How do they relate to each other? What do
you have to do to join (or found) one?
* Squatters: the only things we know about them are vague references.
Anyone want to give us more info?
* Street weapons: not everybody has access to mil-spec weaponry, so what
/do/ they use?
* Fiction: anything and everything that deals with the street could be
made into a piece of fiction...
* Magic: just because this is a book that deals with the street doesn't
mean there can be no magic in it. Sensible and low-level is OK here,
Harley-style is not :)
* Archetypes/Contacts: anybody want to create a few archetypes? Characters
and locations are both welcome.
* Housing situations: how do people live at the lower end of society
in the 2050s?
* Street Docs: again, very little hard facts in SR books, so you can make
them what you want all the way.
* Chips: anyone want to create addiction ratings for BTLs, new
narcotics-chips, and what have you?
* The Ork Underground: hey, the book *is* called Underworld... :)
* An adventure based around Whistler's hormone article. Somebody (Fro?)
was going to write this, but I haven't seen it yet...
* The Salvation Army: are they as innocent and humane as they appear, or
are they just another UB, but one that has been going for a longer time?

If ay of these seem like something you want to write about, by all means
go ahead! If you don't like any of these subjects, think of somethign you
do want to write about and also go ahead!

Anyone who is (supposed to be :) working on an article, try to finish it
as soon as you can and post it on the list, else the book will get done
without it.

Remember that there will be no NERPS books unless there i input from the
list...

I think all the submissions I have promised to date are in....or least I hope so
:) I have an idea for an article on street weapons. And a partly writen one on
mythical contacts, that is ones that have become urban myths in Seattle with
some GM info those that the GM wants to be real. The question is what is the
current deadline for this NERPS project and what is the subject with the next
book? I may have some time to do one or the other, but I don't want to
re-schedule and rush things only to be a day late with the article, on the
otherhand I would also not like to have the project delayed waiting for my
submission...my ego is not that large....yet. :)

Yes.

The deadline *was* last Friday, but I think it's been moved forward a
bit... Anyway, I don't adhere rigidly to deadlines anyway, so something
that's a few days late is okay. Something that comes in two months after a
deadline is not :)
