Yeah, lots of minor Horrors appearing might be a "good thing" as people would realize the threat they present.


Why did the Big D put bequests in his will regarding simsense? Perhaps it's because the use of Moodchips can produce an effect deterrent to Horrors?

If the AR is considered another "plane" perhaps Deus is actually a new incarnation of "Horror" for that "plane?"

[Fortune]

Ok, so all of this happens between SR3 and SR4, right?

I'm lost. All 'what' happens?

Last I heard, wasn't it Ares who was tryingto build a launch facility on Ayars Rock and the spirits were just giving them a ton of drek for it???

You are thinking of Killimanjaro. Nobody is doing anything with Ayer's Rock because of both the Manastorms and the Aboriginal Shamanic Fanatics.

And also because there's nothing to be gained by the Corps by doing anything there.

Assuming afcourse the "Horrors are comminG!" plot will stil exist with new owners of the game line.

Hey Fortune,

I think you're right. I believe I am thinking of Kilamenjaro. And the "all this" I was refering to was that Ayars Rock floating around with a drek-load of trapped spirits in it. THe way you put it sounded as if it had already been written into canon.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

nope, that was just us brainstorming.

(although brainfarting may be a more accurate view)

[Gabriel]

Ah, gotcha. By the way, I just read that Shadows of Latin America is being solicited as a series of free DL's. Has anyone ever heard of a Shadows of Australia book being worked on? I only ask since that is the last continent that would require a "Shadows of..." book. Personally I think they will be happy with the Australia section of Target: Awakened Lands, but one can always hope.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

well, if you wanted to start writing one, i'm sure we could pass it arround the P2P networks and make you famous.

The part about Ayer's Rock being a 'Spirit Prison' has been canon since the second novel came out in around 1990.

The floating bit is ... um ... interesting, but not part of SR history, past, present, or hopefully, future.

[Fortune]

They may, or may not end up being free (but probably will be). They are being used to propel the new online, subscription fiction website, Holostreets.

Ain't going to happen! Oz was covered to FanPro's satisfaction in Target: Awakened Lands, along with Antarctica. The only continent that really needs a sourcebook is Africa, which didn't get nearly enough print time in either Smuggler's Havens or Cyberpirates!, but that is also not going to happen. FanPro has pretty much exhausted the 'Shadows of" series, and will in the future cocetrate more on specific locations. An example of such is the soon-to-be-released Runners Havens, which will detail Seattle and Hong Kong. Four other (as yet unnamed) 'shadowrunning cities' will be covered in future releases, or at least that is the plan.

[Retread]

Probably gonna be rehashes of other books: Berlin, Sekondi, Kronstadt, Boston, Denver, etc...

[Fortune]

FanPro has stated that they plan on Shadowrun being less North American centered in the future.

I'm thinking that they are going to go with London and Lisbon, with the other two being drawn from Constantinople, Vladivostok, Tokyo, Berlin, and Metropole.

Out of those five, Metropole, Tokyo, and Vladivostok are recently described (as of 2064 in SoA and SoLA), so make of that what you will. It is said that these books will be more like New Seattle in detail, if not format. We'll see.

[Gabriel]

Damn! I forgot about Africa. I hope nobody sues me for this. I can just see it now: "Both FEMA and Gabriel the imaginary elf have been sued by the NAACP today for racist comments regarding proud african americans."

[Ruski]

Lord of War had a really interesting take on Sierra Lieone... scarry place, but grounds for a reaaaallly violent SR team or two (or million)

-RuskiFace the Pirate

[Retread]

Africa in SR is probably the most violent place in the world...


Personally, I'd like to see a Caribbean League Pirate campaign. There's a lot of room for fun and excitement.

[Gabriel]

Nah, they already did that. Africa is really the only big local that has been so excluded from material in SR. I'd love to see some canon data on that place.
