Hey all,
My Season 5 kicks off at Sci-Fi City March 6th - and I realized with some of the new players that they might not 'get' the setting of Chicago as much without...well a history lesson.
Is there anything out there - short of a chapter of the Feral Cities - that would be ideal to give them the run down, bug brief, CZ, Bad Mojo type low down?
Totally open for suggestions here. =)
Regards,
PoX

Bug City.
It's longer than a chapter (duh), but it's one of the best-written books Shadowrun has produced. The intro chapter is a must-read for anyone, whether or not they're playing in Chicago. If you're remotely interested in Chicago, the entire thing is worthwhile.

A timeline should suffice. Use the one from Feral Cities, then add in 2075 that the Mayor starts Project: Takeback.
That's about as streamlined as it gets, imo. After that, you mahzwell be giving them Feral Cities and beyond that Bug City.
