I attempting to compile all the canon history of Berlin and the AGS that I can for background and plot development, but aside from a few blurbs, is there any solid source material on the region outside of the German Sourcebook and the Shadows of Europe books? Is there any mention in the SR novels?

In particular, I am mostly working on Berlin and its history since the fall to Megacorp Forces in 2060.

Any info or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I think that there were a couple of books released by Pegasus, but in German only. Most of their stuff has also been released in PDF, so you might be able to pick them up on DTRPG...though you'll need to read German.

Another German-language resource (fan-driven):

lol

Yeah I was afraid of that...

You would think it wouldn't be too hard to translate, particularly with all of it on PDFs.

As with most things, always a function of time and money. 8)

For English sources-Sixth world almanac has about 3 pages on the AGS.  Runner Havens has a short write up on Hamburg.  I am sure there are others, but that is what i saw in my collection.

The new DLC for Shadowrun Returns, that comes out next month, will take place in Berlin, I think in the 50's. Might be a nice way to get some flavor for the setting.
