OK. May as well put all my cards out on the table: I
would like to see Sourcebooks for different cities
(done in the same format as New Seattle since that
seems to be where FanPro is headed) for the following
(Simply a brainstorm and in no particular order):
Chicago (to include the Downtown Elevated, the
Northside, the O'Hare Subsprawl, the Noose, the
Westside, and the Southside with their different
neighborhoods; the Suburban Communities like Elgin,
Aurora, Waukegan, Joliet, NW Indiana, Kenosha and
Racine. This should also discuss life in and out of
the old CZ similar to the Target: UCAS book, but bring
it up to date)(Also this should answer some questions
of what became of the Universities and Colleges that
were trapped in the CZ?: UIC, UofC, Columbia College,
etc.)
New York City (to include Manhattan, The Counties,
Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Westchester
County)
Los Angeles
Portland
Boston
Washington D.C.
Vancouver
Atlanta
New Orleans
Dallas
Houston
Philadelphia
Detroit
Denver
Toronto
Montreal
St. Louis
Minneapolis/St. Paul
Kansas City
Salt Lake City
Las Vegas
Phoenix
Neo Tokyo
London
Paris
Rome
Athens
Cairo
Hong Kong
Shanghai
Beijing
Moscow
Bangkok
Istanbul
Manila
Sidney
Berlin
New Delhi
Rio
Buenos Aires

Some countries I'd like to see (updated) Sourcbooks
for are:
UCAS (state by state with a paragraph on the state's
major cities outside of any big sprawls; maybe
highligh major cities like Buffalo, Milwaukee, Des
Moines, Omaha, Cleveland, Columbus Indianapolis,
Wichita, Duluth, Louisville, Albany, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Portland,etc. Also, I think mentioning
College Towns like Carbondale IL, Columbia MO, and
Dayton OH would add a different element that would be
worth exploring.)
CAS (state by state; maybe highligh major cities like
Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham,
Richmond, Tampa-St. Pete, Austin, Little Rock,etc.)
The NAN (and highlight "major" population centers like
the old Vancouver, WA; Spokane; Boise; Missoula;
Butte; Albuquerque
California
The United Kingdom
Ireland (Tir na nOg)
Germany
Italy
Eastern Europe and Russia (but that seems to mostly be
covered in Shadows of Asia ...)
Egypt and Israel
The Caribbean League (will that be covered in the
Shadows of Latin America?)
Australia and New Zealand

Just some ideas guys ...
