1) After looking at everything this evening, I anticipate that it will
be ABOUT 80 pages long.

2) The more I think about it, the less I like the title. I mean, It is
REALLY grating on me to have to say "Hi professor, I'm editing a book
called 'Who What Where'. There has got to be something better.

Please someone suggest something....

Well, its longer, but how about "NERPS: Places To Go, People To
See, Things To Do" (we could call it NERPS: PTGPTCTTD for short, and
confuse the hell out of Newbies.)
Or, call it NERPS II, and subtitle it "Places To Go, People To
See, Things To Do."
Thoughts?

Everyone around here (my local SR group) loves the title.

O.K., since we have "Shadowlore", why not "Shadow-world"?

Just my 2 nu-yen (spelling?)

Yea, but it gives an equal number of people the heebee-jeebees.

How about NERPS: Rumors, or ShadowRumors or something like that. It could
be a bit too vague for a title, but it gives the project a mysterious feel.

I don't have any ideas for another name myself but I don't like the
Storyweaver idea.

That sounds like the name of a very munchkin AD&D bard...the kind
where there's a big, long, implausible story behind the character, which
is totally forgotten when the Monty Haul aspects of the game start up
after the first encounter.
I even know somebody who'd do that...he named one of his rabbits
Fluffytail, and the other one Thumper (he was 15 at the time.) His older
brother, a good friend of mine, renamed them Lunch and Dinner -- those are
the names that stuck. *grin*
In other words, IMO NERPS: Who What Where is a better, more
respectable title. Not perfect, but better than NERPS: StoryWeaver.

Yeah, that's pretty good...and, it fits the subject about as well
as NERPS: Shadowlore. (IMO, just barely to not at all.) But, still, a
good title, if you don't want my suggestion (NERPS: Places To Go, People
To See, Things To Do)... *grin*

Hmm, I thought NERPS: Places to Go, People to do would work.

NOT!

Anyone else have any ideas?

Don't make be beg...

Oh Fearless Leader, I hate to point this out, but perhaps there'd
be more people with ideas on SHADOWRN than on NERPS. We've got, what,
less than twenty people here?
As long as you don't like that snarlin' title I came up with,
howzabout "NERPS: Go Do See"?
(I duck as our Fearless Leader beigns to blow chunks.)
