by Kimli Gorm. An excerpt:
"... lots of folk think silver weapons are the best thing since cold-filtered ale. Well, lots of people are idiots. Silver makes crappy weapons, because it's just too damn soft. Of course, sometimes ya need silver weapons - like when you need to beat the crap out of some of Xenon's damned werebastards.
"Nothing splits a wererat's skull better than a silver shuriken. Melt three ingots of silver, then pour out the first shuriken into its mold. Before it fully cools, pour a bit of holy water onto the silver, and say a prayer to whichever gods ye worship. Ye should be able to make fifty shuriken this way, and ye'll end up using about three vials of holy water in the process... if you don't suck, that is."
