Okay, people - I brought this across from ShadowRN. Now, I don't intend
to get into this debate myself, but I've just had a bit of a grand
vision thingy. Oooo...:)

The background is, I was sitting in my room on Saturday, listening to
Def Leppard (Slang) and checking out something in RA:S. Then I decided
to read a bit more and I remembered how freaked I was by all of it -
for my mind, RA:S is the scariest thing in Shadowrun I've EVER read -
even moreso than Threats (my all-time favourite SR book). I thought
it'd be very interesting to write a story using the shutdown as a
background, but I convinced myself that it isn't a good idea because I
have all these other commitments and SR is, unfortunately, a dead end
in a writing career for me right now.

But I've got this really good idea for a story now, inspired by RA:S
and the Def Leppard song, Pearl of Euphoria (wonderful mood music for
SR if you ask me). And now I've had a vision...:)

People, how would you feel about writing short stories set during the
arcology shutdown? As long or short as you want, doesn't matter. If
we're good enough (and I'm sure we would be with some editing) and we
got enough material, we could submit it to FASA to see what they think
about publishing it. I was thinking we could link the stories as was
done in Into the Shadows, so if you're interested, I'd need to know
your plot ideas, so we can work them in together (I'm volunteering
myself as the editor/collator if you hadn't guessed). At worst, you'd
have an interesting Shadowrun short story. At best...well, let's not
get our hopes up too much, but you see what I'm saying. :)

Anyway, what do you think? If you're interested, let me (and the list)
know. I think this could be a great project to do over the list. I'm
prepared to volunteer my time to help anyone who needs it (you've seen
some of my writing - you know what I can do) and I hope other
experienced writers here would do the same. I've read stories on here
that tell me that we're good enough to do this and I think the arcology
shutdown could be a perfect background to this kind of thing.

If you haven't got RA:S, but you're interested, a) get it, b) borrow it
or c) tell the list your problem. There are people here who can provide
data on it and there are some pages on the net somewhere (can't recall
the address offhand, but it's there) containing the 'lost data' - stuff
that was cut from the sourcebook.

So let me know! I'm in for one!! :)

Renraku Arcology: Shutdown is a new book, published around about the
same time as SR3.

In other words, yes, it's around. If you can't find it in your local
bookstore, you should be able to order it directly from FASA,
Amazon.com or any other internet-based supplier.

Thanks. I'll be picking it up today, then. I'll have my topic for you
tomorrow. When is the deadline for signing up for topics? (I work at a
newspaper, so I kinda have a small (very, very small) idea of how
publishing works. Oh, I'll proofread stories if you want me to. That's
what I do.)

I would love to write a story about the shutdown.
However, I have never had the patience to write
stories. If it is ok, I am going to submit a plot
line. Anyone who wants to write the actual story can
feel free. This is actually how we played the shutdown
in our gaming group.


I don't know if there needs to be spoiler space or
not..

c

The team was sent in to help get people out (big
surprise I know). Specifically, the team is sent in by
the military to get Governor Shultz and some of the
bigwigs out. Intelligence from inside indicated that
Governor Shultz and party are part of the Resistance
holed up on B18-19. The team enters the acrology via
the water filtration and recycling entrance using
submersible jet ski's.

Long story short. They fight their way down to the
Frozen food section and find the people they were sent
after. They also find several children and sickened
people. The team decides to give up their own spaces
on the jet ski's so that more can leave in their spot.


The team is now effectivly stuck in the arcology. Ok.
Here is where we diverged. Deus sends one of the
White's to confront the group. Deus wants to play a
game with the runners. He will give them floors B-13
thru B-20 as a safe zone. He promises to remove all
security personel and leave the area unmonitered. The
runners can do whatever they wish in the area (Dire
warnings on messing with the reactors and that floor
is off limits). The runners can send anyone they find
out via the water system. However the team members
themselves may never leave. The game is simply for the
team to move up against the forces and rescue as many
as possible before they die.

That was our premise. I know what Deus' motive was and
why he wanted to play the game in our version. If you
want me to put that here later I will. I just wanted
to give some of the actual writers on the list some
fodder. Feel free to use this as you will.

What do you think,
Kismet

If you're interested, please do. I hope the setting inspires you as
much as it does me.

Don't forget to check the website out! I'm going to get the address
from ShadowRN and post it here.

I would love to write a story about the shutdown.
However, I have never had the patience to write
stories. If it is ok, I am going to submit a plot
line. Anyone who wants to write the actual story can
feel free. This is actually how we played the shutdown
in our gaming group.


I don't know if there needs to be spoiler space or
not..

The team was sent in to help get people out (big
surprise I know). Specifically, the team is sent in by
the military to get Governor Shultz and some of the
bigwigs out. Intelligence from inside indicated that
Governor Shultz and party are part of the Resistance
holed up on B18-19. The team enters the acrology via
the water filtration and recycling entrance using
submersible jet ski's.

Long story short. They fight their way down to the
Frozen food section and find the people they were sent
after. They also find several children and sickened
people. The team decides to give up their own spaces
on the jet ski's so that more can leave in their spot.


The team is now effectivly stuck in the arcology. Ok.
Here is where we diverged. Deus sends one of the
White's to confront the group. Deus wants to play a
game with the runners. He will give them floors B-13
thru B-20 as a safe zone. He promises to remove all
security personel and leave the area unmonitered. The
runners can do whatever they wish in the area (Dire
warnings on messing with the reactors and that floor
is off limits). The runners can send anyone they find
out via the water system. However the team members
themselves may never leave. The game is simply for the
team to move up against the forces and rescue as many
as possible before they die.

That was our premise. I know what Deus' motive was and
why he wanted to play the game in our version. If you
want me to put that here later I will. I just wanted
to give some of the actual writers on the list some
fodder. Feel free to use this as you will.

What do you think,
Kismet

If you're interested, please do. I hope the setting inspires you as
much as it does me.

Don't forget to check the website out! I'm going to get the address
from ShadowRN and post it here.
