More ebooks about some of the different cities would be awesome. I really liked the Rotten Apple one about Manhattan. Other cities I'd love to have an actual writeup about include Boise (divided city like Denver), Atlanta (capitol of the CAS), Metropole, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Geneva, etc. Other than London, I don't think anywhere in Europe has gotten more than a passing mention in 4e. Closest would be Geneva, which has a little extra info about it in Corporate Intrigue, in addition to the blurb in Feral Cities.

The following European locations have writeups in SR4: Constantinople (half credit), Hamburg, Geneva, Sarajevo, GeMiTo, Europort, Poland, Marienbad, Brussels, London, and then London again in Conspiracy Theories.

If anything, Europe has been overexposed. Asia has had seven and a half writeups. Africa has five (Nairobi twice). North America (excepting Seattle 2072) has eight. South America has three, two of those are Bogota. Australia hasn't been touched since Target: Awakened Lands.

Am I the only person that liked the setting books (Runner Havens, Corporate Enclaves, Feral Cities) and wants to see another one?

Probably not, but there's a reason why there aren't a ton of location books and it took nearly twenty years to get Shadows of Asia.

I'm talking about the in depth writeup like what was given to Hong Kong and Seattle in Runner Havens, Chicago and Lagos in Feral Cities, Neo-Tokyo and Los Angeles in Corporate Enclaves, Manhattan in Rotten Apple, Denver in Spy Games, Bogota in WAR!, and London and DeeCee in Conspiracy Theories. For an example, the 'writeup' on Geneva in Feral Cities is only 2.5 pages, with most of it devoted to discussing how the Matrix has gone to hell in a handbasket there, and little or anything about the city itself. I'm talking writeups with actual meat on the bones.

There have been some canon add-ons about french cities in french releases of Runner Havens (Marseille), Corporate Enclaves (Lille) and Feral Cities (Clermont-Ferrand) but surprisingly nothing about Paris.
They are available in pdf but of course you need to understand french...

Hand with what?

And, no, my issue is not being Bipolar.  Thanks for guessing, however.

French/English conversion...

Bilingual would be better, true, well IDN if every Canadian is...

I'm not bilingual, I'm unilingual-anglophone.

Don't know about anyone else, but I find the ones you mention here kind of worthless. But I prefer books with a 50/50 or 60/40 split between game mechanics and pure story info (in that specific order). Anything more on the story info side just does not seem to be worth the money paid for game books nowadays. Now if they'd cost the seven or eight bucks a novel does, that'd be a different story since that's basically what they were.

I'm on the opposite side from you on this one, Guns. Gear is sweet, and I love it to death, but the things I really need are world-building and adventures. The worldbuilding aspect is one thing I love about Shadowrun, especially when compared to D&D books.

And the preceding two posts are exactly why we've got the current format going on -- Spy Games and Conspiracy Theories, for instance -- that tries to give some people their beloved chocolate (rules and crunch and stats), and others their delicious peanut butter (setting/location info and Jackpointer chatter).

Some people want nothing but one or the other, and sure enough some folks hate this mixed format...but we're trying to give everyone a little of what they want, to keep both sides happy without having to churn out twice as many books.

[All4BigGuns]

We'll just have to agree to disagree then, though 50/50 and 60/40 aren't bad ratios either.  I just want each book I get my hands on to have a decent number of new options for my characters or I feel like my money's been wasted.

A Gang Handbook, for running games based around a gang controlling territory and operations. This was done in Shadowrun Companion 3rd ed. However an update an expansion could lead to some fantastic games.
