>Ok, the way I see it, this project is turning out to be an Underworld book.

>Providers: Armourers, Gun-Runners, Cred Launderers, Software pirates,
> Information providers, and of course, the lord of them all,
> the Fixer. It should explain how they go about their business,
> how they can be contacted. It should handle everything
> from how to purchase BTL's to where to go to get an Autocannon
> to where to look for a Beta clinic.

>The Sprawl: This section handles the terrain. Where people are located
> and how to find them. Where do I go to find a Street Doc?
> The sleezy bar, the homeless shelter or the basement of the
> McHughes down the street? This section deals with the areas

> examples of where shadow figures may be hanging out. And
> finnaly, how to fence your loot, like Honest Eddie at the

>The Operation: Finally, this section tells "how things REALLY work". Where
> DOES the armourer get his SMG parts? or where do poor street

>Anyways, that's what I propose to you. Mail me on some comments.
