I like this... It allows for very simple encounters where all the runners
have to do is solve a small problem (or even do nothing at all and wait
until it goes away), or can get deeply involved if they choose to.

Should we write this up into a full net.book?

Another good idea.

Sure, I've done it before and I'll probably do it again. However, there is
the minor matter that these things usually get bogged down for lots of
reasons and thus take very long to get finished :/
