You will note that my insertions are mostly in all caps...This is NOT
meant as a volume increase..This is simply to make my inserts easy to
spot..So no flames..I have also made a couple of alternate sugestions
for some of the things that were sugested previously...Unfortunately
my phone line is currently down..I think the weather finally go to the
lines..And I am not sure when you will end up getting this..I am
hoping you will get it tomorrow...That would be 23 JAN... But I have
no real idea..It may end up being long after you have had it with this
whole idea...Oh well....

You would be staking a claim to a terrirory..ie Club Pneumbra would
only be available to Blue Johnson to work out of..All other Johnsons
would have to pay a commission to the owning Johnson...

Ohhh..This is kool...and it makes more sense with place names instead
of street names...Hmmmm... I will have to think about how this could
be represented for a while.........

I suppose Contacts could be represented by 1 cm runners that is
approx 1/144 scale..The basic archtypes..in each of the races of
course..
[sami,mage/shaman,decker,rigger][elves,dwarves,orks,trolls,humans]
[rigger could be represented by a 1 cm vehicle] must have one of each
type in order to purchase a buddy these could also be of each of the
races and archtypes in a 2 cm figure..and that leaves the playing
pieces.....Hmmmm

Without a complete list of what is available..I would have to say just
about any of the standard lead [yes, I know they aren't lead anymore]
figures for SR with 6 included in the box...

All the rest looks good to me....

accomplish...Later...
