@gonzohistory had a great idea in one of his last few podcase episodes: a game of Lexicon where the players create a fantasy bestiary as a handout for players.
That sounds like something I might want to try. You could integrate this with a game of #dnd or so, where players get some extra xp or something for bestiary entries.
here's an idea I had for a #shadowrun campaign a while ago: use an actual #bbs as a job board/contact/forum for runners between runs.
the idea would be that they have to login to a specific address on a machine to get infos about their runs.
should be doable with a very basic setup of e.g. synchronet
"Just use Linux" is much like "just ride a bike" or "just shop at a refill store" - accessing the non default option can be time consuming, expensive or unavailable locally.

What sort of plank managed to get this through internal approval at MS?
