I'm considering running a campaign starting in 2010, during VITAS and leading up to the Year of Chaos. For my players who have played Shadowrun before it would be an opportunity to play with the emergence of the metaraces and magic, knowing what is to come, and for those who haven't, I think it could be a cool introduction to the world for when we play a game in a more traditional year.
So, first, has anyone here done this before? If so, how did it work out? Are there any good sources online for this sort of thing? Is there a better or more detailed timeline of how things happened than in the core rulebook? I'm perfectly happy to fill in the missing pieces as far as the world goes, but my biggest question is the technology. Obviously, most of the advances won't be ready yet, but I'd like to give the players something, just so that, as professional criminals, they have something cool to play with, that raises them above normal people. I haven't seen a good source in the official books for this, but I may have been looking in the wrong places. Any suggestions where to look? Finally, any general thoughts on this idea? Does it seem workable? |
