LOL! Elle is right, I *am* old... :) (Maybe I should mention that I
thought about putting down list.member.grumpy, but settled on Whistler :)

That's what I thought too. I'll re-post everything I have for Underworld
at the moment, so everybody can see what there is.

Do we have any French people on the list? Anyway, I once did a write-up of
the Netherlands with the intention of sending it to the NAGEE. A year
later I revised it, with the same intention, but I never sent it in. I
might do a third revision and make it a NERPS submission. It's 20 or more
pages, I believe, so maybe I'll have to chop some things out of it...

Didn't someone already do a Phoenix thing, in one of the NAGEEs?
BTW, there's one thing I want to make clear: I like to keep things
consistent with material that's already been published. Of course, with
net.publications that's never 100% possible, but I don't think it's a good
idea to do a write-up of *any* place that's already been covered in
reasonable depth somewhere else. So no Los Angeles (NAGEE1), Las Vegas
(also NAGEE1), North Bay (NAGEE2), Chambana IL (NAGEE3), and so on.

My idea too. ED connections might be nice, but they should be kept vague,
like the news article in the back of the adventure A Killing Glare (what,
you didn't notice that? :)

Plus it would have to be written by someone who understands Russia and
knows a good deal about it. Someone who lives (or has lived) there would
be best, but I think we'll have a hard time finding any of those on this
list. (If there is someone fitting that description, don't hesitate to
speak up, however.)
