/
/ 1. Timeline [TIME]
/ 2. Character Generation [CG]
/ 3. Rules Clarifications [RULES]
/ 4. Roleplaying Guideline [RP]
/ 5. Product Info [INFO]

I strongly suggest further subdividing the outline. One of the reasons
I wasn't able to complete the Roleplaying Guideline was the fact that
the subject is Huge. There's roleplaying in general, roleplaying in
shadowrun, where to get ideas, roleplaying typecasts (by race and/or by
character type), roleplaying for newbies, etc.

Or, maybe this would be a good topic of discussion to reserve for the
new list.

/ What else needs to be covered for newbies? I think a section on GM'ing
/ (Pacing a campaign, being fair, etc) is a must. Perhaps also a "Finding
/ other people that play Shadowrun" article.

6. Character Creation [CC]
6a Crunching the Numbers [CC-CtN]
6b the Mage [CC-tM]
6c the Rigger [CC-tR]
6d the Decker [CC-tD]
6e the Street Sam [CC-tSS]
etc.

/ I can see this is quickly turning from a net.book to a co-operative website

/ but that's cool with me.

If you get contributions ;)

/ Any thoughts?

see above
