[UA] A reading suggestion, and two totally unrelated question s

[Stimson, Aaron]

To the cop question it might depend on whether his noble status is people
obeying the law or something like that.  In this situation it would be a
Self 8.  Otherwise I would think it would be a self 3-5.

	I just finished reading a thoroughly odd little travel guide called
"L.A.
Bizarro" by two guys named Maranian and (I think) Lovett.  Or maybe Lowell.
 Anyway, if you're setting a game in L.A. this is a great book to have on
hand.  It's got descriptions of all sorts of lesser-known restaurants,
tacky tourist attractions, wierd underground businesses, and a "Hollywierd
Death Tour".  Sadly, the book also keeps alive the myth that Fatty Arbuckle
killed Virginia Rappe, but other than that it's top-notch.  If your
campaign is based elsewhere, it's still worth a look, just to see what kind
of wierdness exists in our real world.  After all, who knows when your
players might decide that they need to buy a bat preserved in formaldehyde,
visit the grave of Marilyn Monroe, or hire some porn actors?

	Okay, first question: Is anyone else getting their messages
doubled-up?

	Next question: I know this will come up in my game sooner or later
(knowing my group, within about 3 minutes of the time I start running).  If
a good, relatively honest cop violates the law, what level of Self check
should that be?  I'm thinking around a 4 or 5, myself.  Opinions?
