Actually, try not to think of Nerps as being against Gurps but rather spoofing
it and the SJG tendency to put Gurps infront of everything.

After all - no one in their right mind would ever accuse most of us as
being very serious.


Hey or we could have - NERPJ - nothing ever really pleases Jason :)

NAH - not as cool sounding as Nerps - and Jason would shoot it down :)


or we could do NERPS: NASGUL

making it a thing with double abbrevations.

Of course you know GURPS will retaliate with GURPS:NERPS:NASGUL
and really be asking for a thwapp.

Gee - Am I getting silly now?


OK HERE GOES
Every one send in their top 3 choices for the title
(I presume we can agree upon the NERPS: XXXX mostly?)
and then we will calculate them up.


Dan

ps - NASGUL is cool BUT... it is getting redundant and a little out of taste
ShadowLore tends to stay with the genre

Man - I can't believe I just said that.

Not EVERYHING. There's no GURPS Ogre ("OK, this is a 2000 point campaign.
Build you characters with Vehicles and reverse-engineer the quirks").


>Hey or we could have - NERPJ - nothing ever really pleases Jason :)

Or NERPC-Nothing Ever Really Pleases Carter. :)

With what? His NERPS: Thwap?

You mean SJG would retaliate in that fashion. You've got __rps on the brain,
son. An is that the Olde English Thwap? Or is it Thwappe? Perhaps Flare would
know.

>Gee - Am I getting silly now?

No. You're perpetually silly.
