I still am working on teh Cleveland file. it's currently a little rough,
and has a few sections that are missing (Hey tinner! That's your part dude!).

The file is currently in the style of NAGTNA, but I[m thinking of
converting it a little to something more similar to what's in Target:
UCAS. <shrug> but i do still have it and want to submit it...;]

Ok... me and Fro were talking about this last night, and here was the Idea
that I came up with...;]

NERPS Catalog 2059 (Chances are it'll be around then when this finally gets
finished:)).

Bascially this would be a general book full of "miscellaneous" stuff that
everyone around here creates. New Spells, New Weapons, New Vehicles, New
Gear, etc.

A book like this would be relatively simple, and could be done with a
minimum of fuss, effort, or time. It could also be a running NERPS
project. Every year, compile all the new spells, gear, and stuff created
by members during the year.

That was my idea, at least...;]
