Sounds good. Again, should we send it to you or to the list?

>MAGIC:
> New Totems
> New Spells
> New Spell Systems (if there are any around)

Again, where to put it?

>TECH:

Ok, Next question is do we put serious gadgets or the RFU's (Really f$#%$#^
up) stuff from the tinker-gnome outcasts from AD&D (The other choice...)

First: Where to send everything.

To avoid clutter and wasted bandwidth, I'm going to act as archiver
initially. Essentially I'll collect up everything that gets submitted and
then mail out some kind of a comprehensive list of what's what so that
those on the project can then get what they need.

So, the first thing _I_ need to do is to send out some kind of 'form' that
everyone can use for their submissions. Essentially it is just a place to
put your name and email address and a short description of the submission.
That way we can tell at a glace what the submission is.

I'll tryo to get something worked up tonight or tomorrow.

Realistic stuff. Some of it might be goofy (hey, we're net.people), but
most of it would just be different net.products produced under a guise
associated with the 2nd awakening.

Rob, I, for one, would rather see it posted to the group, maybe
under some sort of header (ie TSA: <Subject>) for one reason. I
remember that once upon a time there was a plan to re-write
the Rigger rules. In fact, I think there was even a group created
for that specific purpose. Well, its been some time and I have
heard nothing more about it. PLEASE, for those who are part of
that project, take no offense. It just sounded really great, with
some of the ideas being quite promising. But in the end it seem
to just fade.

Well, that's just my opinion, for what it is worth.
