Hey there chummers,
So here's the deal: while I'm not new to tabletops in general, Shadowrun is a completely different ball game. I've been reading through the core books (Anniversary Core, Street Magic, the Almanac, etc) and feel fairly competent enough to start running a campaign.
As stated in the title, the primary focus of the campaign will be running guns in the pacific from Seattle to Shanghai. Most of my players are new to the system (well, newer than me) and I want to try and ease them into the setting as well as let them get a feel on how things are supposed to work in the shadows.
I know this is starting to get long, but I feel that the more information you have, the better you all will be able to help. So what I ask is this: Are there any supplements, media, etc that you would recommend for a gunrunning campaign? Any tips or tricks from your own sessions that might be beneficial? Any advice for a new GM in general? Anything and everything is appreciated as I want to give my players the best possible experience so that they want to continue playing.
Post Script: Also, is there a map of the world circa 2072? I've found one for the '60s, but nothing more 'recent'. Is that map still viable? Has anything changed?
