And now DS, time for something a little bit different!
Among the many things about the setting of SR, something that I've always wondered about, ESPECIALLY considering the crazy shit that happens in the Sixth World is: what has happened regarding the famous holidays? I ask this because many of the huge events in SR, I would think, would either diminish the significance of certain holidays, or don't get practiced outright. For instance, with the Awakening and the revival of neo-paganism, obviously many of the original pagan holidays would also regain popularity. So stuff like Samhain is probably more widely celebrated (and the books that I have read do mention, or at least imply, that the summer and winter solstices are more widely celebrated), but does that mean Halloween is no longer celebrated? Then there's stuff like Thanksgiving and...well...PRETTY sure all of the NANs don't like having a day devoted to celebrating when the white men first set foot on the land of their ancestors. 4th of July/Independence Day might be a little bit awkward, since the UCAS is supposed to be a shadow of the former USA. Then you gotta wonder how the CAS deals with Independence Day. Also, pretty sure the Danaan families in Tir Na Nog would rather not have people remember that St. Patty's Day used to be a thing. Anyways, so what are holidays like in the Sixth World? I am asking specifically about the Western holidays, specifically those typically practiced in the UCAS and/or CAS. If any of the books make reference to holidays, titles and page number references are appreciated! ... ...yes, I have plans with holidays regarding my current campaign. Because the possibilities of holiday-related shenanigans with shadowrunners are too good to pass up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif) |
