iīd prefer this list for discussion, as iīm used to it.
bandwith isnīt a problem for me (my access being
government sponsored, but limited to office hours). as
long as the others donīt mind, iīd like to get future 
information on m e here.

need one except for purchasing rpg material from the
other side of the pond.

nice idea: but give a better chance for non-academic
characters. iīve got a decent education, so have my
friends who did their tour of duty in former jugoslawia,
but we all have met persons that never got a chance for
much formal education and still would make better player
characters than uns university wimps.

strongly agreed. expand the timeline from now on (no
nukes please. thereīs enough shit happening without
them) (and a updated weapon collection would be fine
too)

a fine job.
