So... whats the buzz on the new Shadowrun 2050 book coming out later this year. A book which re-releases the original 2050 setting with 4th ed rules?
For me, Its the most anticipated book of the year, but then I run a campaign actually set in 2050 and a book like this would have/will make my life some much easier :) So from me, I'm sure as heck getting soft and hard copies.
But what's the buzz on the forum? Looking forward to this release?
-
Here here. I am happy to know that I will be able to make use of my older materials.
-
Funny enough, I'm looking forward to it. It would be like I started buying books back when I first found out about Shadowrun in '91 in a way...
Still want to do more than just GM, and hopefully someone will pull out the old great adventures for me to enjoy somewhere, sometime.
-
Definitely looking forward to this one.
-
Me too...hoping they're going to give it the full color/hardback treatment.

So... I could have saved myself a lot of time and not bothered with my conversion of the entire 2050 setting (http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=6676.0) to SR4.

Hey Ajax, I like what you've done with your conversion so far. When I get time, I'll have to post some questions on your qualities decisions, but it's good work.

Sometimes that's the way it goes. As in it goes over top of you like a Mac truck after laying you out.

This book doesn't even exist yet and it's already got pride of place on my book shelf.

So, is a city in the CAS going to be the default example setting for this book? :D
I read a post a while back about how Atlanta has the most Classic Cyberpunk/Gibson vibe out of all the cities from Neo-Anarchist Guide to North America....
-
Well most of the 2050 material was based in Seattle I believe (at least module wise it seemed), so my guess would be Seattle is going to be the primary location.
-
Seattle has always been the default location for Shadowrun, I believe.
-
That's exactly what I wanted to do, when starting my campaign a few months back, but decided that trying to retcon the world while maintaining the current rules would be a real PITA, and trying to keep track of what was or wasn't available would be too difficult.
I'm in. Save a copy for me. ;)

I said that.
Anyway, since Seattle has been the default setting forever it's a strong presumption that it will focus on that.
-
Is Seattle the default setting in the German version? I would think otherwise.
-
Until they produced the first Germany sourcebook, I would suspects so.
Now there are half a dozen German-language books on the AGS and various sprawls. As the German translation of SR4/SR4A is a translation, they would still be discussing Seattle the way that book does in English. However, their Quick Start booklet and I'm sure additional material in the core books are about Germany.
As I recall, some material in DidDS2 (the second Germany sourcebook published about a decade ago) flat-out retconned and eliminated some of the nonsense from the first book that was published around 1992. So I have no idea what the setting info on AGS would be, if any. However, I imagine that the Pegasus freelancers would be the ones to ask.

Hmm, 2050. Is that far enough back to bring that alternative to Cyberdecks into play?
-
Naked decking and program carriers? Yes.

Put your clothing back on, it doesn't mean that!
Really hoping that whoever on this project for Decking has their A-Game going.
-
Naked decking and program carriers? Yes.
Nice. And thanks for the refresher, as i knew it was something to do with "carriers" but was stumped on the complete name.
-

But why would we care about the German version? ;)
-
Germans seem to get the best stuff? ;D
-
I just voted, sided on an enriched Seattle environment.
The logic behind that is: Make one awesome setting and if the game goes well HBS will design an expansion later that includes another city.
-
I love that Seattle is the default setting, 'cuz I live in Washington and have been up and down Tacoma and Puyallup. :)

Denver, Denver, DENVER, DENVER, DENVER, DENVER!

We need more info on the cities down here in TX.
-

YES.
I miss those *so* *much*.
First edition exclusive, but MAN they were cool.
-
This sounds pretty good!
-
As we get closer I get more excited myself. A shot at playing when I was first introduced to the game... 1991.
...
*Sighs* I'd probably end up GMing anyhow.
Really hope CGL has a good team on this.
-
That is a really good news because I am back to using the SR1 rulebook to play the game right now...
I hope the matrix will be back to the old form :)

What, like Decking with no clothing on?
