So, the top four in 2072, but NOT in order, are New York City (Which, minus Manhattan, you almost expect them to fracture into four normal-sized cities, but that goes against the Metroplex idea)

The boroughs did fracture into separate counties back in 2029.

[Wakshaani]

Did they come back together, or is New York no longer a single city but five smaller ones?

I have a PDF to grab, don't I?

[Crimsondude]

As far as I know, they're a lot more than five cities still by the description in NAGNA.

[Wakshaani]

The Manhattan PDF talks about the rotten apple as if it's just a city unto itself, rather than one part of NYC.

Hrm. 6WA has the remaining four chunks standing as "New York City", and trying to be seen as an equal to the corporate entity of Manhattan. That's ... actually kind of neat.

Weird to find things buried you never thought to go reading about.

[Crimsondude]

Hmm. I guess they took another crack at the Quad Counties post-NAGNA.

Was just thinking it would be cool to see somthing like a small PDF Street Legends supplemental detailing the Smoker’s Club from Runners Anatomy.

Check out Loose Alliances. Old info, but still...

[Frankie the Fomori]

There is the general info about them in Loose Alliances but I was talking about a full write up of the members used in the Anatomy similar to the stat + write up of street Legends. So when a new player/vet reads Anatomy they would have there Stat write ups available to see Dice pool's, ATT levels and kind of see how a PC/NPC stat's respond in a Fiction format.

[Mirikon]

More Legends PDFs in general would be awesome. Still plenty of Jackpointers and other important NPCs who haven't gotten the treatment. And there is a part of me that would just love to see Puck doing a writeup on someone like Dodger, or Frosty doing a writeup on Ehran the Scribe (possibly from Ehran's point of view, given their circumstances).

[CanRay]

Dirk's still around, hopefully.  And apparently Argent hasn't gone to the old 'runner's home yet...

[Mirikon]

Dirk is around. He wrote a piece on Naheka, fittingly enough, for Clutch of Dragons.

Oh, I'll just add something in here. Combat drones designed for melee and close quarters combat. Sure, the flying drone with the sniper rifle is nice, but especially in urban and jungle environments, having a drone capable of fighting in melee would be useful. Hell, Deus showed how effective melee drones could be with the Spiders and Medusas, as well as the bumblebee with its nanobot sting. I can't imagine that the tech has gone completely.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Why would you need such a thing?  Just have a swarm of small drones that spray various concoctions/nanites and/or armed with a machine pistol loaded with S&S that wide burst everything in an area.  CQB taken care of.

I really agree with you on this. It is possible to build something like that with Arsenal options IMO, but something official would be nice. Because not all of us like it old way. And because something like mechatronic scoripo (that FNV, Giant Radscorpio version I have on my mind) scares the shit out of players everytime

Can always take an Otomo and have it punch its way out. Real Steel!

The Medusas were kangaroo cat drones that were fast, armored, capable of jumping, had razor sharp claws, tails that could let them hang from things, and the ability to deal taser strikes by touching you. And then Deus built a powered-up version of them. If you can't see how that would be useful in a close-quarters situation, you're not thinking clearly, or you've become over-reliant on firearms. Melee weapons never run out of ammo, and they are quiet. In buildings or the jungle, they make for an excellent choice for stealth operations.

Yes, but it would be nice to have ones that don't cost ungodly amounts of nuyen. All the combat-capable anthromorphic or melee-capable drones currently are cyborg suits or milspec, with the exception of the TAN-DEM from MilSpecTech 2, which still isn't much good in melee.
