Yo,

I know I'm APITA with my incessant pouning on peoples mailers for SR
demographic, sociological, geographical, societal, etc. info concerning
those countries not already covered by official material. Nontheless, I
have a knack of sending my PC's to the farthers corners of the known
world, so I'm generally needing info on the SR countries with regard to
everything.

Now, I've myself made Denmark 2050, but want to discuss it a
tad more with other Danes and some other Scandinavians before publishing it.
I've also gotten some usable info on China, but lacks rather on Japan,
Russia and Italy.
(Deal is, one of my groups consists of 2 Danish Paratroopers, 1 Spetznas
(sp?), 1 Jap Decker, one Cascade Crow Magi/Sammie and 1 Italian Gov trooper.
Lotsa travelling, usually paid by their employers, and quite some fun -
different cultures. But am having quite a time creating credible
backgrounds, especially since I'm so hung up :(, ie bad at making
non-sleep research).

So as you can understand, I would be deeply grateful for any kind of
material written by someone with just a little more knowledge of
non-covered countries than myself.

Anyway, hope that the people had a good vacation if such does indeed
exists in your worlds. ZU

My buddy is a SR player stranded in Japan now with nobody local to play
with. He has told me that he has been chomping at the bit to play or do
game-like activities. He can't Email play since the little open office
cubicles with roving managers are non-condusive to Email playing.
Anyhow... I asked him to make a sourcebook for Japan, or at least give
some great info on it in a SR setting. We will see what he does, and I
will send it to you!

Thought your friend might want to know that there is a group of locals
in Japan who have put together an archive page for Shadowrun. The
address is:
