Okay, as far as I can tell Shadowrun has been around since 1989, that's 14 years, and all lot of things have happened since then... And I'd like to hear your thoughts.
My main questions are: What in Shadowrun Canon has come true, or at least shows sign of coming true? (Schwarzenneger going into politics [PA of NA, 1990], Chameleon clothing [Shadowtech 1992]) What does it have that hasn't and probably won't happen? (Century Ferret being discovered [PA of NA], The Food Riots in New York that sparked the Shiawase decision [Various offical timelines]) What has definetly happened (or at least on the way) that can not be fit anywhere into Shadowrun Canon? (The Twin Towers on 9/11, Our current situation in Afghanistan and Iraq, Not to mention the current presence/existence of FASA and WizKids Shadowrun Sourcebooks) Finally, if this world 'Awakened' when the actual Mayan calendar 'ends' (2011/2012/about eight to nine years) what kind of 'Shadowrun' would we make? |
