Subject: Important idea! (also Re: german sourcebook order)
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 1997 12:28:57 +0100
Fro recently contacted me about how there are around 180 people subscribed
to this list, but nothing really ever seems to get done here... He had a
few good ideas to get interest in NERPS up again, which I'll get to in a
moment. Fisrt up, though, another thing I want to bring to your collective
attention:

1) There are 14 promised articles for the NAGTTW, but only four or five of
them actually seem to be under construction. I would like to hear from the
writers of the following pieces whether they intend to submit them for
the NAGTTW; if I don't get a reply for an article within about a week
(that's until the 10th of August), I'll remove it from the authors &
articles list.

Australia
Baltimore City
CAS
Cleveland
Iceland
Israel
Minneapolis/St. Paul
New Zealand
Norway
Oklahoma
Siberia


2) Adam's idea. This is to write a book consisting of many short articles,
in which everyone can participate simply because the articles shouldn't
take long to write -- half an hour to an afternoon or so -- which should
put them into reach of the people who would like to contribute something,
but don't really have the time to type up major articles. (For an idea of
the kind of article we have in mind, take a look at NERPS: Foundations.)

Adam and I had some ideas what the book should be about, but I will not
mention them here just yet because I want to hear what YOU think. The only
direction I'd like to push the ideas in, is at something else than the
articles in Foundations: that is, no people, places, or adventure seeds.
Apart from that, let's hear some thoughts about this, okay?



Now for the Germany Sourcebook stuff:

Could you please take this off the list? It seems to me you're working out
some kind of deal to get that book, which I doubt many other people on the
list are really interested in. Private email would be much better for
this, especially if you plan on swapping snail-mail addresses for this
thing...
