The Fourth Annual Neo- Anarchists Guide to Everything Else™ "Yes, it is easy not to believe in monsters, considerably more difficult to escape their dread and loathsome clutches." -- Stanislaw Lem The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age Edited and Compiled by Jerry Stratton [j--r--y] at [teetot.acusd.edu] The copyrights of each article are held by the original authors.

The Neo-Anarchists Guide to Everything Else™ Editorial Eating Habits Do desu ka(1), chummers! I'm sitting here at the jack with a bag full of soy burgers and unidentifiable fried rings and sticks. It must be time to edit the NAGEE again! Welcome to the Fourth Annual Neo-Anarchists Guide to Everything Else. This is a semi-regular electronically-distributed magazine devoted to FASA's ShadowrunÆ role-playing game. In the NAGEE, we're covering everything else. The Guide comes in four versions -- Rich Text Format (for Word 5.0 and other word processors), postscript format, as a Macintosh Standalone, and as an ascii text version. The ascii version contains the same information (except graphics) as the other versions, but doesn't look nearly as spiffy. If you don't have a friend with a Macintosh or Microsoft Word, expand your circle of friends: contacts are, after all, the key to survival. WordPerfect also has a converter to read Rich Text Format. We Need Submissions! We're running out of home towns! This issue's Pueblo is the last one on file. Then, no more locations. So if you haven't written up your home town yet, do it! And the Bulletin Board is a little sparse. Any rumors you want to report? Want to disagree with any of the articles? Praise one? Send it to the Bulletin Board (that's in care of moi, of course: [j--r--y] at [teetot.acusd.edu]). Gopher Site The gopher site is now teetot.acusd.edu, buried in assorted cool things to play with. This'll probably change. But then, I said that last time, too. Free Advertising! That's right, free advertising. I've decided to open the Rich Text and Postscript versions of the Fifth NAGEE up to real advertising. If your company wants to advertise itself or its products here, send in the advertisement before the Fifth NAGEE (as soon as possible, you know how definite release dates are for the NAGEE!). Here's the rules: 1) The ad must be in Microsoft Word-readable format. No hard copies, no postscript. PICT and GIF are fine; Rich Text Format is preferred. Text is okay as well. Encapsulated Postscript is okay too. 2) The ad must be no more than 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches. If it exceeds that size, I'll have to resize it, and I don't guarantee the results. 3) I don't bloody well guarantee the results anyway. Also, only one ad per issue, homer. 4) If I decide to continue offering advertising space in the NAGEE, advertising must be re-submitted before each issue. Comments and Suggestions Needed If you have any special feelings about the NAGEE offering advertising space, let me know. I haven't yet decided to continue this policy after the Fifth issue. But I think it'd be nice for net-aware, small companies to have a place to test their advertising. Submissions to the NAGEE have finally started tapering off. Looking to the future, it might be a good idea to open the NAGEE up to general RPG articles. (Then, the name would have to change to The Nasty Asshole Gamer's Electronic Examiner. Well, maybe not.) How do you feel about this? Let me know! Merry Christmas! Well, I looked over Jordan and what did I see, comin' from that amazing postman? A bound copy of the NAGEE waiting for me, a present from Santa Wordman. Wordman, author of the Pueblo article in this issue, the Vegas article in the first issue, and assorted other thangs, sent me a hoopy Christmas present: a hard bound copy of the first three NAGEEs. Thanks, Wordman. You're a frood who knows where his towel is. Artwork! I am impressed with the map included in the Pueblo article in this issue. So impressed, in fact, that I'd like to start including general computer art in the NAGEE. If you've got something you've done for your campaign, ready and rarin' on your computer, send it on over to me. At the moment, of course, this should be limited to generally Shadowrunnish art, but if we expand, anything's game. (So to speak.) Ja Matta! Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this issue. Until next time, just go frag yourself! FOOTNOTE: (1)Pronounce it doe deskah. Means "Yo, homeboy."
