Here is a list of all the articles that have been submitted for NERPS:
Stuff so far:

AUTHOR ARTICLE SUBMITTED
Adam Jury <fro@***.ab.ca> Ares Light Rope 2100 23-10-97
Barbie <barbie@**********.com> Do Cyberzombies Dream Of 10-09-97
Electric Sheep?

That would be about enough for a small flyer, I think... Not much of a
catalog o' stuff as we envisioned. So people, if you have some nice
gadget, spell, critter, or whatever that you use in your game and would
like to share with the world, don't hesitate to type up a short text about
it and post that to the list with "Stuff" in the subject line.

Hmm, Gurth I`m not the author of this. I have made only the html->txt
conversion, since the author didn`t had the time.
The real author`s name is in the header of the article.

BTW: How is it as name NERPS: Gadgets ?

I looked at the message header, not the actual article... I'll correct it
next time I post a list like this.

I was thinking about NERPS: Novelties myself. Anyone else have ideas for
the title?

I guess it you're hurting for stuff that bad... I could post 70 or so
basically new spells (if I can find that old file of mine).

It isn't in there, and that's your own fault, so there ;) I had asked
everyone submitting articles to put "Stuff" in the subject line, which you
have persistently failed to do -- when I searched my NERPS folder for
the text "stuff" your messages naturally didn't come up, but because I did
remember there were some I dug through manually, ending up with two out of
three. Not bad, but it would be nice if everyone submitting something for
the stuff book put the relevant word in the subject line...

You're right, my fault... Sorry Gurth...

I'm lucky I can remember my e-mail password some days so I can even check
this mess...;]

That would turn the book into "NERPS: Spells & Some Other Stuff" :) Maybe
you could select the most interesting/useful/useless ones and post them
instead?

I'm kinda partial to NERPS: Stuff as well.
It's simple and concise.
Gadgets won't cover things like spells, etc.
Novelties makes it sound like a collection of children's toys.

I vote for Stuff.

I Vote for NERPS: Novelties; It has a certain ring to it.

I prefer "Novelties" over "Stuff", but have a couple other
suggestions:

"NERPS: Bibelots".
I'm pretty sure bibelots is plural for bibelot, which means "small object
of curiosity, beauty and rarity.

"NERPS: Virtu"
Virtu means 1. Excellence or merit in objects or art, curios and the like
2. such objects or articles collectively 3. A taste for or knowledge of
such objects. Can also be spelled "vertu".

Bibelots is indeed a french word, but i wouldn't vote for it: it has a kind
of out of date connotation; i mean, a bibelot is the kind of small objects u
put on a shelf and on which the layer of dust grows thicker as time pass...
