So what? In Shadowrun you can survive an atomic explosion because it does
"only" deadly damage...(Well, unless the GM uses the optional rule but why
should he kill his PCs ;-) )

[Hey! Did you notice that everything (including this highly interesting movie
discussion) has something to do with shadowrun...even OTs :)? ]

not even in the dictionary...;-) )

Spoiler space is space you leave when you're about to say something that
might spoil something for someone else. So, if a new Shadowrun book called
XYZ comes out, and you want to tell everyone something from it, but it's a
GM's only book, you put something like this:

Spoilers for XYZ, only read if you know it won't ruin your game!



D
O
N
'
T

P
E
E
K
!

Actual spoiler space should be longer than this. Then, the actual spoiler
text.
Wow guys! In XYZ you find out that it's the last 3 letters of the alphabet!
:-)

Spoiler space is a courtesy to other listmembers who haven't read the book
yet, and who DON'T want to know.

Just leave 30 or so lines blank and put at the top of the page
SPOILER SPACE for <whatever the book is>
