It would make a good addition to the NAGTTW, I think. As for what they're
like, how about "much the same as now"? They're wearing clothes today that
are 200 years out of fashion, so I think they can keep it up for another
60 years :) Although they'd have to find a way to live with magic and
metahumanity, which might cause great problems for them...

Watch that Harrison Ford movie with the little Amish boy who witnesses a
murder, and you should be able to recognize them on sight. Although I saw
something once that about a former Amish (would that make a good
shadowrunner?) who said the movie was a good depiction, except that the
woman (the boy's mother, who (naturally) falls in love with Ford's cop
character) would become an outcast.
