Yes, we're still slowly working on it.
The basic city source material is done IMO, just needs polishing.
The tough part is the GM materials - ie. Characters, etc.
You can still count me in for sure, and I'd assume Bull as well.

Probably an excellent idea!
Ideas for topics? Hmmm ...
"How to be an Evil GM for fun and Profit!" ;-)
I wouldn't mind a series of supplements along the lines of "Two Dozen of
the World's Coolest Samurai", followed by "Two Dozen of the World's Coolest
Magi", etc., etc.
But I guess that's your whole "No people" thing isn't it?
What about something called "Tell it to them Straight?"
Maybe a book of descriptive phrases and ideas that make starting a run more
interesting than "You all meet in a bar and are hired by Mr. Johnson ..."
Booooorrrring!!!
Give like 101 different ways to start a run that aren't cliche.
BTW - Has anyone seen something called a "Random Cyberpunk Atmosphere
Generator?"
It's basically a chart listing hundereds of visual elements runners might
see in the sprawl - helps flesh out the streets a bit.
I got it from the Scrawls from the Sprawls APA about 5 years ago, and have
never seen it printed on the net anywhere.
I could write it up for an article, and give credit to the original author,
who I sadly no longer no how to contect.
Hey, Kenson recyled stuff from SftS for Awakenings, and FASA "stole" my
eyeball/datajack for Cybertechnology! ;-) Why not get some more mileage out
of this puppy?!
