Okay -- I'm still unsure if Gurth will be visiting or not. Until he does,
we still have time to come up with ideas and dazzle him with our brilliance.

NERPS: Stuff
Submissions being taken. I'll be culling the logs today to see exactly how
much we have. The Submission guidelines were re-posted on the 14th.

NERPS: NAGGTW
I can't seem to find a very recent "Authors and Articles" list for this --
most recent in the logs was May, and I know it's been posted since then by
Gurth.

If you have promised an article for NERPS: NAGGTW please get in touch with
me via private email. I want to compile my own authors and articles list
and then I can do some log reading to find the most recent versions of some
of the posted material.

New Projects:
The two ideas that seem most popular are "Edge Runners 2 / Players" and
"Gangs and Corps". These are my suggestions for those two ideas.

ER2/Players would rock if done well. I would prefer to see a slant towards
non-runner characters that you still may interact with on a semi-frequent
basis. Things such as fixers, media moguls, important political figures,
law enforcement officials, etc.

Both Gangs and Corps were popular ideas, and I think they should be
combined into a single "organizations" book. My reasoning is this -- some
people don't care all that much for corps. Some people don't care all that
much for gangs. Doing a project about one or the other would most likely
end up stagnating pretty quickly. If we expand the book to include all
organizations, we can also include Policlubs, Cults, Political
Organizations, Smuggling Rings, Terrorist Groups, etc.

SR2 vs SR3: For things that require stats, I don't see much reason to
stick with SR3. Within 6 months most of the people who are "active"
Shadowrun players will be playing SR3. If people want it we could release
the book with SR3 stats included, and then a seperate file with SR2 stats
for characters that have them. However, this is mostly Gurth's choice, so
this is something else I'll discuss with him when he gets to my place..

Feedback and more ideas still welcome.. :-)
