I like Rob's NERPS ideas.

However, how about something overdramatic:

Shadow Into Light:
The (Oliver) Stone files
Concerning the true state of the art.


You think of the strangest things when you (literally) haven't slept for
25 hours. Let's see what happens when we go without sleep for 27 hours!

Hmm, awfully quiet on this topic of a title. Anyone have any ideas? or
is NERPS: something ok?

If so, what should the something be?

NERPS: Supplements?

I'd appreciate some discussion on this. Thanx.

I think just plain old 'NERPS' is fine.
NERPS for x$ is too much, and closes off all the possibilties we might
come up with.

How do you mean that it closes off possibilities?

Ok, as long as we have some lull in here while we do the next round of
voting:


We shoudl see if we could come up with better titles for the next set of
NERPS books.

These are the working titles, but they just don't seem to have any 'zing'
to them. Anyone have any better ideas?

A. NERPS: PLOTLINES
B. NERPS: SPRAWLS
C. NERPS: CHARACTERS

The reason I ask is that I'm putting together the FAQ for NERPS and I'd
like to put a better set of names in :-)

And no, I'm not calling it darwin (PLOT-D joke for you not there).

These are the basic things you need for a movie: Script (plotlines),
location/set (sprawls) and actors (characters). I'm trying to think of a
term that encompasses all of those in one word but nothing comes to mind
yet.

You could go for alliteration: NERPS: People, Places, and Plots.

I hate to be an annoying bastard (but I am, aren't I), but we still need
some title ideas for the next round of books.

Think, dammit :-)

Ah, I just signed on (pretty much), and was wondering what books you

I will, I will - once I know what you are talking about!

PS- Hey Robert, is the Krypton site still having problems or no? Just
curious, because you seem to be posting more lately.

Ok, three books. Current working titles are:
NERPS: Plotlines
NERPS: Characters
NERPS: Sprawls

We need somehting with more 'zing' to it.

<cowering> Sorry..... :(

=> NERPS: Plotlines
=> NERPS: Characters
=> NERPS: Sprawls
=>

But you want to keep the "NERPS:" part of it right? Just something to
replace "Plotlines", etc.?

OK, Plotlines is self-explanitory, Characters I assume are Begining
Archetypes(?), and Sprawls are places to go on the town(?). Am I
right?

That's close enough fro government work. Full detail will be made once I
reset the list and post the FAQ, but the titles are sorta needed for the
FAQ, y'see.

Plotlines - NERPS for Brain block ( Oh gawd,you weren't supposed to shoot him,
that's killed the plot off ! What now ?)

Characters- Nerps for Extra with Names (before being mowed down by hose fun
(gun) loving Pc's)

Sprawl sites- Nerps for Places to go and things to blow (up that is)

hmmmm, er

Plotlines - NERPS for FASA (Hee)
Charaters - NERPS for Chance Encounters
Sprawl - NERPS for Tourists

Sad, I know by I'd though I'd try
