Black Junk Yards gets a paragraph in Seattle 2072, plus two Shadowtalk comments that are also small paragraphs. The content isn't drastically different from what is in the Seattle Sourcebook, although one of the Shadowtalk comments adds some details about Black's security. The junk yard made an appearance in one of my games a year or two ago.

For the record, I like Seattle 2072 and I don't regret buying it, but Seattle Sourcebook is my true love. That's probably nostalgia from 23 years ago talking though.

Re-read it ;)
Some parts you just shake your head at :P But that's its age showing through. It really was a good book.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

I'm from Seattle so I'm terribly biased.

Looks like the German version of the Seattle Sprawl box will get a totally different map-poster.

As preview, there's a large version for download.

Wait, a somewhat useful map of the Seattle Sprawl?  Stop the presses, that isn’t allowed! :p

Seriously, although I kind of like the poster in the English Box set, I’d pay for a physical copy of that German map.  I don’t even care about the language issues, it would still be better than anything I have (granted I only have the 1st and 5th edition Seattle supplements, maybe somewhere in the middle there was one with more useable maps.)

Wow, these maps are amazing, if slow to load (for me). What's the significance of the C [A] zone rating for Tarislar?

I mean, I know what the letters mean; but not the parenthesis.

It would be great if this map was released as a stand-alone file on DTRPG. Ulisses Spiele did that for their Earthdawn map: when you buy it you get several versions, including a layered PSD.

Me three! A full-size poster and/or a PDF with sufficient resolution to read the fine print ... I'd buy both.

I believe the C is the official rating, or at least was from when Lone Star held the sprawl contract, but the actual rating is equivalent to A because "someone" had contracted additional KE security to supplement security since Lone Star virtually abandoned Tarislar.

Good to know Dude. I guess Tarislar is middle class now. Gentrification!

Tarislar gets a nice write-up on p. 126 of Seattle 2072 and on p. 66 of Emerald Shadows from the Seattle Box Set, if you have it.

Tarislar is officially abandoned by the metroplex government, meaning there are no municipal services, but the community has pulled together to provide sanitation, water, power, food, and a Knight-Errant contract (as Crimsondude notes). The Ancients and Laésa are dangerous, especially to each other, but also provide a measure of order and stability and protection from outsiders.

Something tells me this discussion has not been unnoticed by Pegasus Spiele...

we are thinking about a 'map pack' in a far higher resolution somewhere down the release schedule...
