Shadowrun 2030.

Some ideas on how this would go include:
1) Very little magic
2) Severe racism... opinions have come a long way in that 27 year span and
its still pretty bad in 2057.
3) The crash of '29 still has a cast-iron grip on the world (the virus
wasn't fully purged until late 2031)
4) Euro-Wars are just beginning
5) Cyberdecks are all but nonexistant
6) Aztlan forms
7) NAN nations have just recently formed
8) No cyberware (or at least very experimental)

Think of all the chaos! It'd be a darker, less powerful sort of game: no
cybermonsters running around destroying everything in sight, no mages with
ungodly spellcasting abilities. So what's the concensus? I know there's a
few other projects out there now, but I think this could be a big one.
