Did the old NERPS files (Edge Runners, etc) ever get saved or are they gone to the great bit bucket in the sky?

Mmmmahh, NERPS-filets

I still don't know what a NERP is.

NERPS is NERPS-tacular!!!

It tastes good, whashes your dog, does your wife and smells like teen spirit

EDIT: Get it now!!!

NERPS for lunch, NERPS for dinner, NERPS for cleaning your bathroom floor!

Thanks a lot, Reaver.

I'm thinking of running a game through a NERPS® office building. My basic plot is that one of the secret ingredients of NERPS© is drop bear, which is why, when dropped from 4 meters or more, it kills people. Only a very, very small bit of drop bear is required, but it's there. Unfortunately, due to a mislabelled package, the drop bears are delivered to Melvin Niblett in Corporate Headquarters rather than the high-security production facility they're meant to go to. Of course, the drop bears escape, eat food after midnight, and reproduce in water, so the NERPS™ building needs to be cleared out.

Any thoughts on my basic premise? Anything I can do to make it more NERPStastic? Either way, I was wondering, who makes NERPS(rctm)? Are there any competing products? I was thinking of making a Japanese competitor find out about the accident and send in ninjas to worsen the problem and steal the secret recipe. How would one write 'NERPS' in Japanese?

I'm definitely at the very first stage of this, so I'd love to hear input.

Way to combine my two most hated threads, into one awful off topic post.
Why is it when you mention NERPS or Drop Bears, the stupid gas come on and people's posts turn into literary kaka.

That's why.

now that those links are all defunct, does anyone know where to get all the old nerps publications?

The Big Knobi Klub is still there. I didn't check all the NERPS links in the datastore, but the one's I clicked on came up.

That's a neat idea. One day, I'm going to try and set a run entirely in a NERPS factory and see how mad I can drive my players by never actually quite describing the NERPS.

You can also hit up the Shadowrun FTP archive over at shadowsource.org

Thanks, sir

I seem to have returned. Anyway, I have PDF copies of Foundations and Shadowlore. you can get them at http://www.chibu.net/SR/NERPS if you'd like. I'm working on making PDF versions of the other two as well, but it's taking a bit since i'm working on a bunch of other books as well.

EDIT: Also, on the same note, I have all (i think, assuming there are only 6) of the Plastic Warriors books. But not all of them are in a good format, that is to say PDF. So, I'm currently trying to get them into that format, but if anyone already has the origional PDF versions (which are much nicer than the ones I have) I would greatly appreciate them.

EDIT 2: I've put the Plastic Warriors books up that I've managed to crappily format into PDFs. Http://www.chibu.net/SR/PW
