Looks like we know what the next sourcebook is going to be, if the usual "cover art = imminent release" trend holds true.

Lockdown has been in the works for quite a while now. That it's now in this phase may mean SRO is coming along nicely.

Cover art:



Anyone know who the artist is?

If my google-fu is strong, it's a Boston sourcebook, yes?

AJCarrington
No idea. Looks good, though. Troll with a bazooka gets me every time.

The link's text mentions it's setting up Boston as a location.

I love it when they visually show AR stuff. It looks so cool.

[PeterSmith]

Love the cover. And yes, it's set in Boston. And yes, it's the book that the SRO backers covered as a stretch goal.

I'm glad you all get to see it. It looks even better full-sized. There's some incredible art in this.


Oh, and the text is looking pretty good, too.

Correct. It's about the NEMA Quarantine Zone, which is basically all of (I think) Boston locked down due to Sybil rearing its ugly head, a crazy dragon attacking NeoNet and something that I myself suspect is Blue-227 causing people to go berserk.

There are a few stories from the book that were already posted at Shadowrun Universe, whose writer (Scott Schletz) has Sybil. I kid you not.

There's also https://twitter.com/Jackpoint2075 which contains a lot of tweets about the Boston lockdown and how it pretty much is going crazy.


ZeConster pledged enough for the printed book, I can't wait to steal it from him and have a physical read rather than a digital one. His name can thus of course be found in the credits of SRO. Mine too, but not because of my pledge. ^_^'

I think it's going to be interesting. I don't think anyone but Scott should be doing CFD stories; he just nails it every time, for my money. I mean, really, go pick up Stolen Souls and read "Freedom Isn't Free" again. Because if that's not creepy as hell to you, there might be something wrong. Probably with you (though possibly me).

Like one of the JackPoint tweets mentioned, the UCAS is now 3 for 3 in losing major cities: Manhattan, Chicago, Boston. St. Louis is a divided city. They nearly lost DeeCee a couple times, Detroit almost had a dome put over the whole city to isolate it from the world, Seattle independence policlubbers occasionally stir up trouble, and then there's the UCAS Sector of Denver ...

i love the design of the combat axes that troll is using on the far right of the picture. Very neobarbarian

[PiXeL01]

I can't wait to read it! More chaos to descent my players into ^^

I wonder if this book will influence where Season 6 of Missions is set...
