Title: Sixth World News
Post by: lokii on <02-12-19/0836:38>
I have published contemporary news articles from the Sixth World on Reddit for a while now. If you are interested I always update this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments...xth_world_news/ (http://"https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments/5rzmad/overview_sixth_world_news/")

A note: most of these are not accurate to the day and often the month (the precise date is often not known) I try to spread them around the year evenly but it also depends on when I find the time. And I don't shy away from conjecture.

So far:


In addition I have done some Sixth World current events, using the timeline link (real world year + 62), that has now fallen a bit behind:

That's cool. I do a similar thing every now and then but specific to the campaign I'm running. Mostly I do front pages like this one. (https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6_avsG8QmVw/Wgjl7hglRnI/AAAAAAAAAZo/TV_imH44cxASFlj02DKdTlJBpuQbZ_oQQCLcBGAs/s1600/Seattle%2BTimes%2B2.png)

Fancy. Of course I'm interested in the remote past of 2019. So instead of neo-printing technology I use the style of a pre-Crash internet forum to present the news items. :D

It's a cool way to give some life and presence to the game's history.

A little annoyed with the Kodiak bits. The Kodiak base is a major hub for rescue operations in the gulf. It wouldn't be decommissioned. I'd say it's a transition. handover to keep serving. now the rocket launch facility is more interesting. I think it's owned by Ares.

But does Athabaska at that time have the ships to actually make use of it?

Ares will buy the whole installation next year.
