Subject: Info for the SR Monop Game needed.

Hidey Ho, friends and neighbors... need a little help here..

I need some suggestions for places for teh SR Monopoly game...

What I'm looking for is a list of Clubs, Districts, and Other Runner
Hangouts and Runner Targets in the Seattle area to replace the properties
on teh Monopoly board...

I don't have the Seattle SOurcebook available to me right now, so what I
could use is a list of Districts, with three places associated with each
distrct. I want to give each collection of properties a Disctrict Name
(Like all the Purple properties are the Penumbra District), and then give
each property in that color a specific place associated with teh distrct.

Make sense?

Well... Any help will be appreciated...:)

Not really, but here goes...

The Zones:

Seattle/Downtown
Renton
Tacoma
Fort Lewis
Redmond
Puyallup
Auburn
Bellvue
Snohomish
Council Island
Everett

That makes 11.

Redmond definitely is the low-rent zone on the board.

What about the trains? Are there four Monorails in Seattle 205*?

As for places for each zone, I'd be tempted to use as many from the
sourcebooks and adventures as possible.

Or, the subdistricts of each Zone.

What thinks you all?

(Where's Dante's? My character has never been there. The rest of the team
has. *harumph*)

*sigh* I think I read your post wrong.
Did you mean the districts of the sprawl, or districts within Seattle
proper?

Thanks...

Yup... Redmond will be the dark purple properties atthe front of the board.

I was thinking changing the Railroads to other civil (of a sort)
services... Maybe Lonesatr, Knight Errent, The Shadowland BBS, and Docwagon.

Thruout the sprawl... I need area that will be quickly recognizable...

Let's see... how about the monorail, Metro Transit bus service, the
Seattle Public Ferry System, and Sea-Tac airport?

Well, the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood is so famous that you'd
have to put that in. Is it in Redmond or Puyallup? If it's in Puyallup
I'd suggest changing redmond to it.

No. Just the one loop. As it stand now (RL), it's a straight line
between the Seattle Center and the Westlake Center. In the SSB, It's a
loop which includes sections going down Broadway and into the
International District.

For the RRs, I'd use the Metro System. Downtown Tunnels, Waterfront
Tunnels (actually in construction, finally), Downtown Zone, Peripheral
Zone. If the guy who wants to make the game wants, give me your
snail-mail address, and I'll mail you some Seattle Metro System stuff.

It's on about Roosevelt and 50th. Caused a stir when the University named
the new computer galaxy "Dante".

If you (the 1st guy) want to know the RL districts, I could help you out.

outside Seattle?
