Our campaign is about to begin in a few weeks as we're in Sacramento, so is the campaign. Now I know I read an account that gave at least some details about the liberation of CA from Saito in some book...can anyone tell me where that is? I seem to recall it was primarily an Ares sponsored effort and this chapter or whatever had the dates and battle details of how it went down.

Either SysFailure or Runner Havens. I think Sys Failure. But nothing really goes over the details (yet at least). There's some stuff in SOTA 64.
It's neat that you're in Sac and running the game based in Sac. I'm in Redding, so all we'd get to do with a game based here is smuggle water... and dodge elves and dragons. |

...I live in Portland (OR), so for years it would have been dealing with Facist manipulationg elves after the TT sourcebook came out. That's when I decided to move my campaign to Europe.

Keyword search of my PDF of Runner Havens (gods, I love being able to buy searchable copies of game books!) for keyword "Saito" comes up negative. I'll purchase SOTA 2064 if it's available online. |

SoTA 64, I believe, has some information on an Ares-sponsored "Shadowrunner army" against Saito. But there really is no detail beyond that on how Saito was ousted from power.

Yeah, defending the dam IIRC. Living here, with a possible draught looming, only relieved because a butt load of rain we just got last week, really makes you think about how important the water is in NorCal. Especially once the summer hits. It's hot as hell up here.
KK: Ever wonder if people in Europe prefer games in Portland? :D We did the Seattle games for a long time, and decided to jump track and try two seperate areas: New Orleans and France. Been good times. Back on topic, I think the other reference was in Sys Failure, but since I just moved, my books are still ahrd to find. I think it mostly amoutns to "Saito isn't there anymore, MTC moved it's headquartes to SF from Tsimshian since the pull out." |

You are fired for using hella. I don't care if you ARE from NorCal. That word started in SoCal and died over 5 years ago. Please stop using it, it makes my brain hurt. P.S. From Long Beach. Sac sucks :rotfl: well, at least Rosemont and downtown did. |

Grinder, I think fist was say that when summer comes it is hot, not that it is hot right now. Right now it is winter and cool/cold (highs in the 60's F).
Lets see, rough conversion, 7C * 2 + 32 = ~46. That was where the temps were at last week. |

I'm actually from the Bay Area (San Jose), but I've been living in Utah for the last few years, and just came bak to Caliofrnia. "Hella" has been a joke to us too for a while, but old habits die hard dude. :P @Grinder - Where I was in Utah, it was sitting around 17F when I moved. It was 62F here yesterday. Don't care enough to do the celsiuis convertion, but liking it much better. In the summer, it was 117 here last year. Crakkerjack: Thanks for the fix. :D On topic, still wanting to know what happened with Saito my self. I'm hoping that will be coverd in the new Corp Enclaves book. IIRC, LA was being covered for Citieso n the Edge. Maybe SF will be in Corp Enclaves. |

You think NorCal is hot, trying living in the High Desert down here in SoCal, that is hot. And it gets cold as hell during the winter as well....interesting, how something can be cold or hot as hell.... |

It is the god given right of anyone who lives north of Walnut Creek and south of Yreka to use the word "Hella" in sentences. It's not surfer talk, it's not new, it's a genuine dialect. It's like Canadians saying "zed" with a straight face. They just... they just do that.
And trying to make them stop is discriminatory and pointless. You can argue that you don't want that language use infecting other areas as part of some sinister Ukian cultural imperialism - but making them stop is not going to work. If you actually hate the word, you just need to come up with new ways to express extremitude. Such as terminating your statements with the words "dot com." or using the word "way" a lot. Personally, I way don't mind Hella - dot com! -Frank |

Well I can recommend to you a couple of hella good games stores in the area. I've never had a problem with the humidity anywhere I went until I went to Texas. But after living in Utah for a few years, I hella hate the snow. Good luck getting used to the Utah lingo BTW. No 'hella' there. It's 'Oh my heck' Kid you not. |

Los Angeles will be one of the two main featured cities in Corp Enclaves, the other being Neo-Tokyo. It's possible there will be info about the Saito ousting in there, but I don't know for sure. |

I sure hope so. Otherwise I don't know where they'll include it. I could seriously settle for "..things have been calmer since Ares got rid of Saito up north", followed by two sentences aobut jsut how it happened. I need closure damn it!
@Alex: Rajaat99's tag under his name says he's in Manga. I was Orem. Where are you at? |

Layton. About 20 miles north of Salt Lake if you aren't familier with it. |
