One of the ideas somebody kicked up when Underworld was half-finished, was
of a Neo-A Guide To The World. I kinda liked the idea myself, but at the
time we were doing Underworld so the idea was postponed. If there's
interest in it, we can start it now.

Although the title should be a dead giveaway, the idea was that the book
should cover countries and cities that FASA will be unlikely to touch in
the near future. For example, I once wrote up a piece about the
Netherlands for the NAGEE, but never submitted it; a bit of reworking and
it should be good for a NAGTTW. Various others on ShadowRN have said
they're writing about their own part of the world, which could also come
in handy if they were to submit it for such a project.

Maybe I missed it earlier but when and where will Underworld be
available?

Soon. Paolo is HTML-izing it now, and when that's finished he'll post the
two RTF versions (A4 and Letter paper sizes) as well as the HTML version
on his page.
I'll leave him to make the announcement on NERPS and ShadowRN :)

I appreciate the two RTF sizes, after the fun I had tracking them down
for the Plastic Warrior books and other NERPS projects. Actually I'm
still trying to find Foundations in US Letter RTF. The one I've pulled
down from http://nspace.cts.com/pub/Role-Playing/Shadowrun/NERPS/ seems
corrupted somehow.
