the Seattle Sourcebook, maybe with fiction thrown in for good measure... Not
much in the ways of game mechanics, but lots of background material on places,
people, things, and so on.]<<<<

Yes, that sounds pretty good. I like MadDog's GIF map ideas too, heck, we can
even get fancy and scan in some AAA maps and start editing them at street level.
(Cut big block out here... insert Renraku Arcology... This road was removed...)
Of course that would take some time.
The way I see the overall project is an information sourcebook mostly for the
Gamemasters. I know personally, my Gamemaster hasn't a clue about how the REAL
underground works, let alone one as complex as the one in Shadowrun. He
thought I was nuts when I told him I could go out to a gun show and buy APDS
rounds for my rifle until a week later, I laid 10 tungsten carbide core,
plastic sabot rounds in front of him at the game table ($20 to prove a point,
neh?). Most people are unaware of how goods get handled. For example, where
do you think a street doc gets cyberware? Lets mix that with a street gang who
is hard for cash and "accquire" previously owned cyberware. Now you get the
picture chummer? The next time your runners have to ambush a weapons transport carrying a
load of H&K parts to Renraku, this book will tell them why they are
doing it, and above all, allow gamemasters to plan some interesting "shadowy
adventures" for their groups.
