Does anyone know if Cities other than Sea-Tac or New Orleans (from WW)
have been created in detail for SR? I have worked up Detroit and Nashville
(with the group I run with) and was wondering if people have made any
others.

Thanks,
Bryan Prince :)

I worked up the Bass islands in Lake Erie. *grin* Imagine
how hard a run against a security firm based on an island
would be...especially if the RnD was located next to the Housing
compound.

Water attack under radar with an air get away.

Or possibly air both ways. EIther way needs LOTS of matrix over watch to help
out. Also, got walking in like you belong there with matrix overwatch could
work.

The best runners have the corp let them in :)

Check the issues of the NAGEE for LA, Las Vegas, and some other cities
and areas. Also, in NAGEE5 it says that FASA is going to bring out a
Denver Source_box_, with maps and a few book about Denver in the 2050's

The material for New Orleans is in WW 31-35. It details the city, its
history, Mardi Gras (2052 style), several good NPC's, VODUN (voodoo!!!)
and a small adventure that isn't too bad.

My material on N'ville and Detroit is all on paper right now. I'll try to
get it to disk very soon, however.

We did a run against an island facility just a while back. We sent
the drones in first for a distraction and then used a high signature
Cigarette (hydrofoil in RBB) to land and unload. We used a chopper
for the pickup.

that's fine, but FA$A has said that they will be doing a sourcebook that
contains New Orleans and voodoo, and it will be different (especially the
voodoo) from the WW stuff...

i have the WW stuff, but merely as a reference for right now...

Wait a sec... what's this WW stuff I keep hearing about? And how can I get it?
A little bit of info on New Orleans in 2055 could be useful...

The stuff in WW is first edition, right?

The voodoo spells are especially (I would say semi-munchkinous, if
I had to describe them) strange and possibly not suited to the
rest of the shadowrun world. Divination, zombie creation, sex change
etc. etc. I don't remember this, but I was under the impression that
houngans could create zombies without paying karma for it???

WW= White Wolf Magazine...they had a five parter on New Orleans...issues
31-35...i was able to pick up all the issues at once except 32, which i found
only one copy of at gencon last year...the White Wolf booth didn't even have
an old copy, but a friend found it for me at Crazy Egor's if i remember
correctly...
