Not really. Azania is mentioned as being another Awakened Elven nation in
at least a few of the novels and sourcebooks, CyberPirates covers
Madagascar, and a portion of South Africa.

There was a list member who wanted to do one. I don't recall if he
ever did a net version.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.

Predator and Prey has some background info on the Gold Coast but
is an adventure book and Cyberpirates has a section about Southern
Africa.
AFAIK that's it,

Oh...well, then. There goes that thought. I'll just slink on back to
the Newbie Cave then. If you need me, please be sure to light the Newbie
Signal.

What is this Target stuff? Is it a kind of magazine or sourcebooks?

Sourcebooks. So far, "Target: UCAS" which covers the former CZ (Chicago),
Beantown(Boston), and Motor City (Detroit). Then came "Target: Smuggler's
Haven", covering several (I don't have it yet so I don't know which) areas
that are considered ... well... Smuggler's Havens.

Recently fasa's place books have appeared as Target: Location.
I believe there is only Target:UCAS and Target:Smugglers Haven out
now. But expect more in the future. Mike seems to enjoy grouping locations
with similiar themes together. They are just like any other sourcebook.

They're sourcebooks, and the name appears to be FASAMike's
version of the old Neo-Anarchists guides. So far there's Target:
UCAS (about the UCAS in 2058 -- heh, I just realized I _still_
haven't read more than about half of this book...) and Target:
Smuggler Havens, which talks about a number of places around
the world, involving smugglers.

AAAAArhg! This is really late ...

Sorry. I didn't have any real net acces the last months and missed lots
of the traffic on SR since I just couldn't dig through the piles of
stuff that flooded my computer...

Ok, I was one of the people working on Africa, South Africa / Azania
especially. I'm still doing it, but for several reasons rather slowly
now. Reason one is: NAGTTW is no longer active, so I couldn't see any
need for me to do lots of work recently. Reason two: I'm terribly short
of time at the moment. Reason three: I move back from Africa to Europe,
and getting my computer here, getting it set up and cheap internet
access working took lots of time.

Eventually, I will continue doing some real things. For now, I've not
got enough time to finish anything. Anybody willing to contribute is
welcome. I'd be glad to share my ideas if it leads to something useful,
and I've got no broblem finding web space to present the result.

It's only the results missing ;-)

Since I'm not reading ShadowRN at the moment, mail me directly if you
are interested!
