In regards to the net book: while my own original contributions are limited
to the still-incomplete Disney Arcology, I would also love to help out in
making this Second Coming Tome. As the Reverend said, we'll need to watch
out for munchkinism, or things that are too unbalancing. I am, you might say,
on the conservative side of GMing, so I'd be glad to help out with this.

Well, I think the Disney Arcology would be quite wrong for this. This
book is a non-tech book. Devoted to those things arising out of the
'Second Awakening'. The races, new spells, new spell casting ideas, new
Totems (could the new wave of magic bring out the Dinosaur Totems? No
thwaps, just curious). Well you get the idea anyways. To draw an
analogy, consider this like the Unearthed Arcana from 1st Ed. AD&D.
People wanted more classes and spells and stuff, so out came another book.

Same idea.

> Is wondering if Hayden knows what he's getting into.

Right now, I have no idea :)

Actually, right now I'm just agreeing to archive and file everything that
gets submitted. After that, who knows.

(OOO! Creative writing! I like!)

]What if we compile a NET.BOOK called, as the subject says, The Tome of the
]Second Awakening (or maybe some other name). What this is is all of our
]unnofficial (non-tech) rules and ideas. Our new races. New spells. New
]spell casting ideas. New Totems. New whatever.

Sounds fun! Should we slip the matrix stuff in there as well? (THWAP)
Umm, geez. EVERYTHING? Ok, should we post it here or mail it to you
(Disasterous)? Help us, Obi Wan, you're our only hope...

]I bet we could come up with A LOT of great information.

Knowin' us, yeah.

]I'd be willing to act as a archiver (for now) and maybe editor (in a few
]months after everything is collected). I'd say we could easily come up
]with 50 pages of supplemental SR2 stuff.

]Comments?

Yeah. I hope you got lotsa memory! (hee!)

Hi, I've been hearing about the Net.book for Shadowrun. All the info I have
says that it can be found on teetot.acusd.edu. I've been looking on that place
for days and I haven't found it yet. I may be blind, but could somebody please
tell me in what directory I can find this book?

This is in the FAQ.

The Net.Book is called the Neo-Anarchists Guide to Everything Else, also
known as NAGEE. I believe you want to look un
pub/Beelzebub/Shadowrun/NAGEE or soemthing like that.

Thanks for the info. I just re-read the FAQ and there was only ine SMALL
reference to Neo-Anarchists Guide to Everything Else being called NAGEE.
