One thing has always plagued me since I first saw them mentioned in the Shadowrun 3rd edition manual.
...What are Nerps? Please answer. And thank you for your time. |

Is it just me, or do most of the links on that page not work at all?

You're welcome. I was going to post something in Japanese that translates as "no problem," but then I ran across this page and couldn't stop giggling. Anata no gosenzo sama ni kao o awase rare masuka! Get ready to meet your ashamed ancestors! Fun Phrases for the Shadowrun Tourist -Siege |

Sorry, I didn't fully explore the functionality of the webpage.
However, you can always look for the posted NERPS on mirrors and other archives of material. Just a thought. :grinbig: -Siege |

Good question. Ask Adam-sama or Pistons-hime.

Considering that this unofficial series of net-books was not around when FASA first mentioned NERPS, it'd be a good bet that they are not the origins of NERPS in canon. |

A fan-based rendition applied to the numerous advertisements put in the initial books as easter eggs and in jokes. I also like to trick peopl eby telling them that's the real meaning.

You people are disappointing... I was expecting you to fill the thread with the random "NERPS for..." comments we saw last time someone brought up NERPS...
