Reading the post about Shadowbeat gave me an idea. Many of us lament the
loss of shadowtalk, so how's this for an idea?
A book that is mocked up to look like a mailing list discussion group,
Shadowland or whatever, but instead of a single theme, there are just
threads about all sorts of subjects, as written by runners. It would be
purely adventure hooks and world flavour, like Threats but with a different
format.

I like the idea - loads o' hooks and atmosphere. But isn't this what
ShadowTK is?

...Worship the potato? The idea seemed silly to me. But then I thought, what
else is more deserving of worship? It's simple, it comes from the earth, and
it can kill you if you disobey it.

Well, maybe, but in my games at least, if you mention something that you
found online,everyone saus "OH, the Internet." in the same tone as people
use when mentioning tax. A canon sourcebook (written by 'official' writers)
would be inarguable :?)
