Hardly suprising. I didn't even know there was one this year until I read the deadline was coming up, a few weeks ago. |

Note that those release dates are for the German editions. There's been some slippage with both Emergence and Arsenal but they'll very likely be out before their German counterparts (which are translated from the English versions). |

It's a zone in southwestern germany where a nuclear power plant exploded and messed up the whole place. Reminds me always of Deadlands: Hell On Earth.

It is an irratiated and deserted area comprising today's Luxembourg and parts of Germany and France created when the nuclear power plant in the French city of Cattenom exploded in 2008. The SOX possesses a severely distorted astral space due to the radiation and suffering that makes magic and astral travel almost impossible. Consequently there's a number of corporate research facilities (the money they don't have to spend on magical security is far more then needed for radiation shielding). The SOX is completely surrounded by a heavily fortified wall and guarded by MET2000 mercenaries. It does not belong to either France or Germany but is a separate entity controlled by a corporate council. Information can be found in
The SOX mentioned in the newsletter is a sourcebook/campaign hybrid in FanPro D's "Hot Spot" series (one previous release: München Noir). What's special about it is that it's a collaboration with the French publisher of SR - the book will be published in both German and French, containing the same sourcebook part but a different campaign for each country. |

You have a setting that makes a bit more sense. Isn't that enough? |

In the long run, one or two weeks don't make a big difference ;)
(speaking of the english version, of course) |

Dont think ever said this before, but I really wanna give fanpro some money. hehe
chomping at bit as im sure everyone else is for "core" material. Arsenal,Augmentation and Unwired are sorely needed around our table. Wouldnt compain about Emergence either. Ugh seeing Unwired so far down a release schedule thats already behind has caused my teams Techmancer to jump into the proverbial "vat" and reemerge as an adept. (Hmm team misses haveing a Decke....errr hacker). |

Your Technomancer compadre might want to suddenly re-surface once your GM announces he'll run through Emergence with you. On the other hand, he might want to show up again after...

I absolutely can't wait for Arsenal. To finally be able to put a book of weapons in the hands of players that keep sending me shopping lists of things like this:
http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn67-e.htm AT least Arsenal will keep them medicated for awhile. :sleepy: |

You might get the sourcebook part, like you got the informations from "Schockwellen". |

Eh. It tends to get incorporated into English-language sourcebooks eventually. The Schockwellen PDFs (French and English) were, AFAIK, written because that specific campaign left huge shockwaves (hence the title) throughout the world which had been touched on in several books, but needed some grounding (mainly for GMs) in exactly why it was happening.

If so, you have to wait for a long time. Don't see any upcoming book where the contents fit.

Feral Cities? Corporate Enclaves?
No? It's not Neo-Tokyo, but the SOX does have a lot of corp presence that is of interest to runners. |

Then the plan is to make the sourcebook part of the book available in English as a PDF download - not sure exactly what the conditions will be, and the whole editing process will probably take some time since English isn't the authors' native language.
But it's gonna be there alright. |

Hmm... Now that I think about it, that might work as well (Feral Places, probably not Corp Enclaves since the SOX doesn't exactly fit the CE criteria). But even then there would be a big timeline compatibility issue, since SOX is supposed to take place late 2070 / early 2071. |

I think, Berlin will be the favorite for Feral Cities.
