The old Shadows of North America had a lot of great Fluff about the various nations that make up the North American continent. We've now seen full workups on Seattle and Denver, Manhattan and New York (Not the same thing, kids), and that seems to be about it. Chicago's still a bug-hunt. *snore* But how about some closer looks at the cultures, industries, governments and prominent corporations of places like the CAS or Sioux Nation? Popular music? Comparative prices (ye gods and kittens, how I miss that particular bit of Fluff from older editions)? Attitude did a respectable job of updating us on the general culture of the Shadows in the 2070s, but it was general. Is there anything in the works that might address some of this?

If I missed something, please let me know. Does anybody else share a hunger for the older flavor-books (Shadows of [Whatever], State of the Art, etc.)? What kinds of things would others most like to see?

My top picks:


  • Details on the governments of the various polities
  • List of special prohibitions and/or leniencies or special licenses (think guns and 'ware)
  • Local socio-economic details (like Seattle 2072 and the older book in the intro sidebars)
  • Comparative pricing of classes of goods (weapons, food, electronics, software, etc)
  • Lists of major universities, military bases, industrial zones and other sites of interest
  • Local prevailing "threads" like independence movements or growing anti-meta sentiment
The Sixth World Almanac turned out to be surprisingly (disapointingly) thin on all of that, so I'm curious if it's just me or if other people would shell out the Nuyen for such a product...

*pssst... the Devs are reported to luck around these parts, so maybe we'll give them new ideas and/or get them to leak a bit about an upcoming un-announced product*

>>EDIT: You know, I'd be willing to shell out for a single PDF product per area (Like the Rotten Apple) if that's how it went, thus saving the need to commit to a huge print run... I wonder if that idea would have any traction...
