**Disclaimer** This is not a suggestion for a ghoul cookbook.
What areas of the Sixth World do you feel are ripe for either their own chapter in an upcoming book or their own book in general? I was looking through the Sixth World Almanac tonight and found myself thinking about past runs. I remembered thinking when Shadows of Europe came out how cool it would be to run around in Morocco and Ibiza and Casablanca. Our group ended up going there and it is the stuff we still talk about nowadays when we're swapping war stories around the gaming table.
I think the entire Africa could do with it's own Shadows of Africa book. Seems like the whole area (even extending out from Africa into the Arabian Peninsula and Middle Eastern areas would be an area chock full of interesting story ideas.
What are your thoughts?
-
I really enjoyed the Seattle 2072 book, but wasn't very impressed with the Almanac. I suppose I am just more interested in the finer "narrow but deep" information rather than the "big and broad but shallow" information. Overviews aren't my thing. I like meat and potatoes. Personally I would love to see a "Seattle 2072" style book for Hong-kong, Chicago & London respectively. 'Runner Havens' and the like were awesome books, would like to see more of that type as well - with lots of good setting information - and some sprinklings of game info to boot.
-
I liked the Almanac and I think the production values on it were pretty good.
I know there are lots of countries in the Sixth World and I understand space requirements but it's maddening to me to look at a map and see countries on it that are not fleshed out with an entry.
I would like to see a little more game information put in each book, it'd be nice to get some new tech toys or what have you every time a new book is released.
Regards,
Ed

You mean to have books that focus on specific areas (like Runner Havens, Corporate Enclaves, Feral Cities, Seattle 2072 or the upcoming War sourcebook)? And books that feature specific aspects of the SR life (like Runner's Companion, Corporate Enclaves, Vice, Running Wild and the upcoming Attitude Book)? Maybe some books that go in-depth on aspects of a shadowrunner, featuring gear and SOTA tech (like Arsenal, Augmentation, Street Magic, Unwired and the upcoming Runner's Toolkit)? Or maybe you just want quick-and-dirty little one shots that give you "extra" stuff (like 10 Gangs, 10 Jackpointers, The Rotten Apple: Manhattan and This Old Drone)?
The Almanac was created to put everything about the Sixth World into a single book to give new and old players a way to see how the world works. Hence, why it's called an Almanac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almanac#Contemporary_almanacs). It's not meant for detail, but for reference. It's an appetizer, not an entree.
-
My above was not intended to be a shot at the Almanac. I like the Almanac, I think it was a good book and I own the print and PDF versions of it. It was a good effort at covering a vast and ever-changing Sixth World.
I wish that it could have covered all the nations of the Sixth World but that's not reasonable as the Sixth World, just like the Fifth is always changing and in constant motion and it's hard enough to generate an accurate almanac for our times.
I would also like to see '207-whatever' books for cities that haven't been touched on in recent editions like London. I think a '207-whatever' book for Berlin (in English) would be awesome. I enjoyed the various 'Target:' themed books and I wonder if there would be any interest in a Gazetteer style series of PDF's? You could cover locations in a shorter format, kind of like the Manhatten book did for the New York area. It seems to me that places like New Orleans, Sydney, Metropole' and other locations would be ripe for those style of products.
Also, now that I think about it, I'm a sucker for NPC books that provide unique and statted out NPC's for use in your individual campaigns. And I'm looking forward to the PDF 'Parazoology' that Jason talked about earlier because I use paracritters all the time in my games and it's always good to have more statted critters available for use.
YMMV
-
Sorry, I may have been a bit harsh in my post (comes from reading that after reading some posts on Wizards' forums...) ;)
-
I think a quick book on corporate compounds (different types I.E: a cargo transfer hub, corporate offices, corporate facility for Cyber/Bio manufacturing, Zero zone lay out, different levels of security that corps would have?), types of homes and what they look like (floor plans) for the different lifestyles, detailed generic NPC's, one example of low level, experience running team, and Prime running team would be awesome. It would be a resource that targets both players and GM's...and it would give us a better idea of what places look like in 2072, and a resource that allows us to better detail our own facilities.
-
I'd like to see an even narrower and deeper focus. Seattle 2072 was great but Seattle is the default setting for SR so there's plenty of room to expand on what's there while still leaving plenty fo room for individual GMs to add their own flavor. Every district in Downtown could easily be expanded to a full chapter worth of locations, NPC's and adventure seeds. The International District, Elven District, the Orc Underground and others are at least as rich in detail as the Aztechnology Pyramid or the former Renraku Arcology. The same thing goes for any neighborhood in Seattle, really. Surely Dante's Inferno deserves more than a paragraph.
Edit: Granted, this could also be a series of full adventures where each serves as an introduction to locations, factions etc.
-
I understand what the almanac was, and it was good production value. I was just saying it's not my preferred style of book. ;)
-
I like the style of the book because it's the first of its kind in the SR books. A concise and complete introduction to the history of the Sixth World and all the places.
-
After thinking about it some more, I think there might be a viable market for PDF's or booklets or something covering areas that the Almanac could not address for whatever reasons. Some of the countries of Africa, South America and Eastern Europe and the Med areas.
I know MilSpec is coming out but I really enjoyed the SOTA books as well and I think a 10 year jump in the game timeline along with the transition from Wired to Wireless could certainly justify it.
I also give Frankie's idea a thumbs up, those would be useful books for any of us to have access to, no matter what level of game you're running.
-
Also, keep in mind, those countries that are a border and a name. . . are a ripe play ground for your own game to set your own rules. Don't like how politics runs in Seattle? Pick a po-dunk city in the CAS and use the four pages of description in the Almanac as a loose framework and go to town. Right now, my group are stomping around the Norfolk sprawl (which has a total of one official paragraph written about it in SR4 books that I've seen).
It helps that we live there and I like world building, but that doesn't have to stop anyone. It's an alternate timeline with magic and insane technology, you could pick Nashville and decide that with the influx of magic, the King is back as a Free Spirit who's decided to make himself the mayor-for-life. His policies have put him at odds with state officials, but his local popularity and international fame make it difficult for them to move against him.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see sourcebooks for the cities you've mentioned, and the corporate locations books previously discussed make great pdf booklets that I would go after like a fat-kid in a candy store. I'm just saying that if you're GMing and a blank spot on the map irritates you, you're looking at it wrong. It's not information you're missing, but rather an invitation for you to put your own fingerprints on the Shadowrun universe in a serious way.
-
That's a good point.
One of the things I enjoy about SR is that they tend to give a paragraph or two on the majority of the areas they address in almost any sourcebook and that leaves plenty of wiggle room for a creative GM.
Still, I like knowing a little bit about every place, that way the PC's can get briefed on it to and the characters feel more worldly about what's going on outside their particular patch.

Like Shadows of Delaware. Why was it the only state in the UCAS to not have its capital on the 6WA map? What happened to the pre-Shiawase Decision haven for corporate headquarters? Answer for yourself.
-
Deleware is a hotbed of Shadow activity even today. One can only imagine the deviltry that will occur in 2070. Documenting such a complex shadow ecology is best left to the professionals.
-
I liked what 3ed did with the "Target" series of sourcebooks and Shadows of North America covered a some also, but what about the CAS, I mean other than maybe Atlanta, New Orleans and i thing either Austin or Houston, you dont hear didly squat about the south.
-
We don't hear diddly about much else other than Seattle, and now Hong Kong (Runner's Havens et al).
But I agree with Chaemera, no one is forcing you to run in Seattle, etc. To make things easier, my last SR game was set in my hometown of Toledo, Ohio. I figured that the players would find it easier to aclimate to the game if they had some familiarity with their surroundings. It was a blast turning the Glass City into another sprawl complete with a corporate presence, unique gangs, sports teams, local government, military presence (yes there is a local military presence here), and other characters of interest. Not to mention mapping out itsown unique Sixth World "history". I still get giggles that I turned the most affluent and in my opinion "snobby" neighborhood in town into a blasted-out, free-fire zone.
Now that I'm getting into SR4, Im taking my old notes and updating for future use.
-
Has anyone heard of running in Alaska? *blink* Made me curious..

It's "Athabaskan Council" turf now.

Ah.. *Noted* Thanks for the information. (:
-
yeah if its in anything its most recent would be in Shadows of North America, but you'll more than likely be limited to whatever is in the NAN book
-
There's been a lot of shakeup on the West Coast since the CalFree sourcebook. An update would be nice.
-
Another thing you may consider is a book on secret organisations (or rather such with hidden agenda), as they seem to have an important role in the Sixth World. Prime candidates for more details would be the Draco Foundation, the Atlantean Foundation, the Apep Consortium. Besides, you may not stop here, as the Vatican seems to be an interesting outfit to know more about, as well as many others, I guess. There are already excellent books on organised crime (Vice), corporations (Corporate Guide) and the drug underworld (Ghost Cartels), and it looks like Spy Games will address at least some of the intelligence outfits out there. Thus, I think that adding a secret organisations book will only contribute to fleshing out the world even more. Besides, who wouldn't like a good global conspiracy? :)
Other than that, I've really loved the Shadows of series from third edition, so an update will be very much appreciated. What I miss the most is the everyday juicy bits that shadowrunners used to exchange about life in a certain country/city. Actually, the humour in it was the best part, I hope it's kept there.

There's a lot of info on LA in Corporate Enclaves detailing the changes that happened in the City of Angels.

Some of that was the Loose Alliances book (one of my favorites of all time, cause it covered mid-tier groups like Apep and the Atlantean Foundation iirc-AFB). The threats books are also a good read for secret societies/agendas. I think Catalyst has them for sale as PDFs. Updated information would be nice though. ;)
-
I would like to see details on the changes in Tir Tairngire, what with the old Council of Princes being thrown out. Since several of those Princes were IEs . . .
my original SR character was from Athabaskan Council - it's been nearly 20 years, and I'm still 'discovering' parts of his background.
-
I would like to see details on the changes in Tir Tairngire, what with the old Council of Princes being thrown out. Since several of those Princes were IEs . . .
Lemme wrap up a proposal or two. I'd love to tackle this, been kicking ideas around for quite a while, I've just gotta find the time and a way to fit it into the production schedule. ;D
-
I would love to see a book detailing the Portland sprawl in Tir Tairngire. I was bummed out when I heard that the Awakened Haunts was shelved. Miami would be a great sprawl to do if a new book on piracy comes out.

O.o
Yay!!! Let me know how this pans out.
-
There are three of us who independently developed the same general idea involving the Tir. While Critias is putting together his idea though, I am writing a book proposal which could possibly involve Portland. Though I doubt it would focus as much on magic as Awakened Haunts probably would/could have since it's a slightly different focus.
-
It looks like my request for a secret societies/agendas book is going to be answered sooner than I thought, through the Conspiracy Theories book - thanks guys :) It does sound logical, after all the conspiracy stuff in the Dawn of the Artifacts series, though.
But this is Shadowrun at its best, keep it up!

Something occurred to me while reading the UCAS entry in the Sixth World Almanac. Regarding the list of states that comprise the UCAS: why aren't there any Canadian states listed, or were they absorbed by the US states that bordered them?
-
Yeah Shadows of Africa gets my vote...
Who else wants this book post up and let the head guys know.
BTW, the middle east is already covered in shadows of Asia.

I'm not sure why they aren't listed, but they still exist as independent states. In fact the current Vice President was the governor of Ontario.

State of Confusion: "Didn't we used to be Provinces?" "Yeah, I blame the USA." "Hey, I used to be me own country, me b'ys!" "No one cares anymore, Newfoundland!" "At least we're still called the Maritimes." "I miss the Dragon." "Shut up, Prince Edward Island, no one cares about YOU anymore now." "Why don't YOU shut up, ONTARIO. Arrogant bastard, just because you have Toronto still."
-
Well according to the Sixth world map, Newfoundland is now part of Quebec.
-
Well according to the Sixth world map, Newfoundland is now part of Quebec.
When did THAT happen?
-
Labrador is part of Quebec, I've seen. But not the Island of Newfoundland...
Might have to pull out my 6th World Almanac again...
-
Like half the UCAS states are technically Commonwealths. We ain't care about technical terms.
-
Still, the fact that there aren't anything Canadian listed in the UCAS entry makes me wonder if President Colloton (who's the current President of the UCAS as of 2073?) is troubling....
-
Toronto is mentioned on page 195.
However, you shouldn't read too much into it. 6WA doesn't exactly have the best reputation for QA among SR books. NAGNA indicates that there are five former provinces became states. That list did not include PEI because Dunk bought it sometime between 2019 and 2030. It would later become a part of the UCAS again, though it's up to interpretation as to whether it was a part of the UCAS and just not a state, or in a soveriegn No Man's Land. However, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have always been states.
Newfoundland was annexed by Maine in 2019 (NAGNA, 65). Here is the list of UCAS states and territories that I compiled to determine the size of the Senate in Conspiracy Theories.
- Kansas (including Oklahoma)
- Nebraska
- South Dakota
- North Dakota
- Minnesota
- Wisconsin
- Iowa
- North Missouri
- Illinois
- Michigan
- Indiana
- Ohio
- Kentucky
- West Virginia

- New Brunswick
- Prince Edward Island (I haven't decided if it's a part of Nova Scotia or a special district, but it doesn't have representation in Congress)
- Seattle Metroplex
- Federal District of Columbia

I can assure you that there is no one who wants better coverage of Africa than I do. However, a "Shadows of" anywhere book isn't going to happen.

When did Milwaukee become a state?

Newfoundland is part of Quebec.

Um... No. See, they're NEWFIES. They used to be their own country, and very much have their own unique culture compared to the rest of Canada. Mostly Irish and Scottish, with a few other things thrown in.
They'd likely get drunk, take the fishing boats to the mainland, and start some fights.
...
Actually, I think that's called "Tuesday Night"...
-
well the whole North America thing is already done to death in Shadowrun....focus more on the other places on the globe...
I mean like AFRICA is one big unknown just waiting for a sourcebook.
-
How about Australia? India? Russia? Iraqistan?
-
Bobo, that is because there are parts of Africa that are chaotic, scum-infested, soul-crushing pits of despair and hell on earth. And the rest of it is worse.

Mirokon,
That's what makes Africa so interesting...yeah, the setting makes for a great adventure. Africa is probably the most primeval and dangerous continent in the world.
Nice thing to throw at the players.
-
Lagos is already detailed, but how much do you really want on the rest of it? Other than Azania and Egypt, where else could you actually do any running in Africa, on a long term? Asamando? One of the drek-poor tribal lands that tend to hate outsiders and have little to nothing in the way of advanced tech?
Africa is a good place to visit, and then run like hell from, not to base a campaign in.
-
Really???
You get high tech centers like Azania, Kenya. primeval lands like he Congo Tribal lands. Mystery and intrigue in Egypt. The Rising magical power that is Ethiopia/Eritrea/Somalia. Warzones like west africa, Angola, Libya, sahara etc.
And what do you mean running away from...Africa probably has the richest mineral wealth in the world, lots of megas are probably trying to mine there. Also its jungles are a good source of magical talismongering, that is if you have the guts to survive.
And of course, your players get bored , throw them in Africa, that will wake them up.
-
Yeah, see, but you're forgetting lovely things like high background counts over god knows how much of the continent from centuries of grief and suffering, chaotic tribal lands that make Africa today look positively stable, a nation full of people who eat people, angry spirits looking to wipe the Kilimanjaro mass driver off the map, MASSIVE shedim infestations, and the fact that most of those mineral rich areas are under the thumb of a single corp that runs the area. Oh, and there's the fact that large parts of Africa make Humanis look positively tolerant. And the lack of any real matrix coverage over most of the continent.
As I said, there are a couple places worth talking about, namely Azania and Egypt, but other than that, there's only a couple sprawls in the continent worth mentioning, and all of them are best left to local players, since out of towners stick out worse than a troll at a dwarf family reunion.
Sure, there are things happening there. But there's many, many, many more things happening in Seattle, Neo-Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, DeeCee, Denver, and so on.
-
True, but then again, more work for mercs and shadowrunner...cities are not the only places where shadowrunners go.
Well there can be many things happening in Africa...and btw, there is a whole world out there not just North America or whatever.
-
Sooooooooooooo... Latin America sourcebook? ;D
-
I still say a dedicated CAS source book is needed. Probably all sorts of neat toys that could be tossed in there too. ;D

It's not all unknown. That is the problem.

Yeah, my predecessors did a bang-up job of reinforcing the Dark Continent (they even use that exact term) idea of Africa, beginning in Cyberpirates!, then Sprawl Survival Guide, and finally they ran it into the fucking ground in Feral Cities.
I'd just as soon leave Africa the Hell alone for a while.

in latin america ::)
-
alan quartermain...
invent him of course...unless you want to put Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone in Shadowrun...
yeah, we also need a latin america sourcebook...that too gets my vote.
Feral cities yeah, great job on Africa...Lagos is one of the most dangerous feral cities in the world.
