<Long New Seattle review from old list deleted>

I pretty much agree with K on the book. It is laid out very nicely and has
some new info, but the bulk seems to be reprinted from other OOP books. The
layout and convenience of New Seattle makes up for this, as long as FASA
doesn't go the way of Paladium books where 3/4 of each sourcebook has
reprinted info from other sourcebooks.

Unlike K I rather liked the adventure hooks. It gives specific ideas for each
neighborhood that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. As far as FASA
changing or altering these events down the road, that's the risk of playing
Shadowrun strictly according to the timeline.

I'll beat you to the punch here: Ballard is a upper middle class neighborhood?
BWAHAHAHAHA! For those of you who are not familiar with the Ballard district,
it is famous for it's population of white trash punks, retired fishermen, and
bad drivers. There must have been some serious renovation done in the next 60
years.
