Okay, so I went out on my nightly walk, and while I was out I realized what I'm *really*
interested in knowing is what sourcebooks/adventures/novels advance the SR 'metaplot'.
For example, I know that the "Secrets of Power" trilogy covers Dodger's meeting
and fascination with the AI Morgan, a story arc who's other end lies in the novel
"Technobabel" (I think that's the name, I've never read it), the sourcebook
Renraku Arcology Shutdown and the adventure Brainscan. I don't know if there are any
intermediate plot developments anywhere else.

Some other groups I know of are: Universal Brotherhood, Bug City, and some novel I own but
can't remember the title of. :) I know Queen Euphoria is another insect adventure, but I
don't know if it ties into that plot or not.

Then there's Harlequin and Harlequin's back (and indirectly the novel Never Trust an Elf,
and Tir Tanguire and probably Tir na Nog sourcebooks), which is more in line with the
SR/ED crossover metaplot, but that's okay because I like ED too. :)

The novels, in particular, I know little about as I have read only a handful of them.

Thanks for any input you can give!

"Burning Bright" by Tom Dowd. This is set just before the events in Bug
City, and is one of the few SR novels that actually ties into the game's
storyline (unlike BattleTech novels, for example).

Only in general terms, in that it's intended to be the first time PCs run
into insect spirits. Having run both, I prefer to use the UB for that :)
