Actually, I was told via e-mail that was never true. I had
a bit of correspondence a few months back with Mike
Mulvihill and he rather vehemently denied that bit of
trivia. Since he's in charge of the Shadowrun product line,
I would tend to believe him. So what NERPS really means, if
it ever meant anything at FASA, is stull up in the air.


"Mission Control, the Eagle had landed!"
BTW, Gurth, if you'll recall we had a little side project a
few months back. I received word that it will be included
next time. When I get word there is no turning back, I'll
make the announcement on the list.

Forwarding to list as only i got this.

Note to DD the problem is with the lists setting of reply to fields,
for some reason the lists fail to reset the reply to fields generated
by some list members, look at the reply address generated by your
mailer and if possible reset your default reply to field to something
that works all the time or this will happen to you quite a bit and
the solution for folks sending mail is not 100% compatible with also
handling non list mail, i for 1 consider inaccurate replys from the
list due to this problem as something to put up with rather than
risk an accident involving an important email (ie something work
related). due to forgetting to switch between 'list' and 'nonlist'
email setups.

I didn't notice any advertisements for NERPS in the Germany sb. I did
however notice a person wearing a KMFDM shirt, pretty cool.
