It really is great- a divided metroplex constantly full of shadowy goings-on, like a Sixth World version of Cold War-era Berlin.

The prophecy says, you should brush up on your german. There is a sourcebook being released in October called Berlin 2072. Berlin is basically back to that split status. Half is Megacon controlled territory, the other half is gang turf. Fences, walls, paranoia, LOTS of job opportunities... I don't think it's gonna be released in english though.

Unfortunate that it's only in German, then- sounds like a good read, but my mastery of English is somewhat lacking, let alone any other language.  :-[
Not to be demanding, but can you please point that Panther Assault Cannon somewhere other than my groin?

focus on what made Shadowrun a great setting...

The blend of high technology and magic?  :p  Not that I really want to get into an argument, but magic is simply too entwined in the setting to remove it without making it a completely different game.

He's not saying remove all magic.

<snip> making it a completely different game.
... called Cyberpunk.

Yes it is an it was an ok game to me but yeah I like Shadowrun for the simple idea of the added magic.

You misunderstand me. I do not want to take magic out of the game. I only want Immortal Elves and their "OMG the Horrors are going to get through the barrier and kill everyone and everything!!!" plots gone. Big difference :)

Problem is removeing the horrors completely means to remove them from history an that would screw Earthdawn up massively so we need the horrors to be there just as a threat not actually comeing through ...at least not yet anyway give Shadowrun say 2000 more years lol.

*Unless some fool magicians think it's a path to greater power to bring them over earlier. But that's what runners are for, omae...

Read: the Azzies.

The azzies are treading on so much weak ground right now they do anything that gets out and Shadowrunners won't be the ones dealing with them the corporate court will by saying it's open season on them to the other corps.

What happens next aztec go boom ! ;)

My sole wish would be for an updated re-release of Denver: City of Shadows.

...then again, I'm biased since I grew up there.
Here's hoping they release the original in PDF soon... But an update is definitely needed to see how the Data Haven's working with Ghostwalker.

I think the last crash kill the denver data haven didn't it??

I love Denver to play in; the main group that I run operates their main base there.  Even though GW has changed it a ton, it's still such a hotbed of intrigue that it's hard to walk away from =)

It really is great- a divided metroplex constantly full of shadowy goings-on, like a Sixth World version of Cold War-era Berlin.

That does sound awesome! Perhaps I should write up a proposal to management for a Denver-based, espionage themed sourcebook that would update what's happening in Denver while also providing spy gear and other fun stuff!

Or perhaps I did that yesterday!

Prasies to the man who out thinks us!!

An this is one thing I REALLY REALLY wish they would do they make books in english all the time and they get converted to German or French or (insert language here) but they write a book in one of those languages and its eh guess your screwed for knowing what is in it unless you can read that language. :'(

Haha trying to translate that much text would probably make my head explode, not to mention it would take me fooooreverrrrr to do, i'd like it for reference and for nostalgic purposes. The majority of my fam either is from or lives in the around frankfurt and you better believe i'm going to be making my runner's hop into that territory.
