I dunno what are your feelings of Target UCAS. I thought it was about as bland as a Irish Chili cookoff. I've been working to rewrite a open book for Boston. So far I've got the entire city mapped off and maps of all the neighborhoods in Boston central. I'm also looking to put together different contacts for boston and what not to make the area more realistic. If anyone is interested message me. I've put together around 30 pages worth of material but I'm only around 30% done. Enough to game with but not to have a complete idea. Here some Ideas that I'm working on:
: Rebuilding and changing Barren zones - with migration and the economics migrant families are going to crowd in Boston. Areas of delapidated neighborhoods in south and north boston become self contained "free zones" devoid of law. : Cambridge Anyone who's been to Cambridge knows it's refered to as "The peoples Republic". With the two strains of viruses Cambrige encorporates to a closed city. Movement into and out of the city is highly regulated and there's a fence/wall that surrounds the entire city. Now defunct "health check points" are the primary way in and out of Cambridge. Now instead of checking for just VITAS they run a criminal check. Guns are highly illegal and can block your port of entry. Non citizens get a "living" / "travel" permit that allows them to go in and out of the city but only after they're background is researched thouroughly. If you have a record then you'll be "watched". Additionally political correctness or the 2060 analogue isn't just a nicety it's the law. (IE see Demolition Man's Verbal Morality Act.) : The Maze is no longer "the Maze". Due to eath quakes and other activity and the cost of maintining underground T, the T has moved above ground leaving behind a large network of tunnels through the city. Developers have turned parts in to quaint shopping networks while enterprising smugglers use the old tunnels for smuggling arms into Cambridge or Chelsea. (Chelsea is a industrial waste zone, there's a shanty town, Industry, and lots of "gentlemen clubs") : Big Mamma is back with a vengence. I have more specifics but if your interested post something and I'll answer any questions you have. Additionally I'm going to be releasing with the book maps I've created for places in Boston such as resturants and stuffer schacks. They're going to come in both 8"x11", 40"x28" (plotter size) I'm looking for Archetectual msp?, stencils for Visio 2000. If anyone wants to toss them my way I'd be interested. |
