New Orleans, How Will You Play With It? Options

[Dingus_McGee]

Hey all, I just got my SR4 book shipped here overseas (FINALLY!) and started up a group here on base. As we started playing the day after Katrina hit, I decided we would play in New Orleans. And after the levee's had broke, I decided to have it re-built in the style of Venice's architecture.

Neo Orleans is a free city simply because the CAS and Aztlan can't get ahold of it. It's swarming with pirates, black market goods, and very little in the way of legitimate economy. The megacorps enjoy having a large population to draw upon for deniable assets and a testing pool for new cyberware and otehr goods. Runners love to have a haven on the coast and a place to go for all of your running needs. Not to mention a place where you can easily disappear for the right amount of money.

In RL, I hope that when they begin reconstruction, they take better engineering precautions to mitigate damage in the future. Now that they know just how vulnerable they are to Mother Nature, it's time to show some respect and play the game smarter.

Also, Geraldo is a Journalism adept.
