Personally it reminded me certain British cyberpunk and other Dystopian SF. It's not so much a literal return to it so much as a cruel parody caused by it's reestablishers lack of attention to the details. The best possible analogy would be the difference between Medieval Serfdom and the Feudal/Manorial system and American Southern Plantation life, or Company Towns. |

With regards to the London Sourcebook, both Marc Gascoigne and Carl Sargeant are British, as undoubtly proven by the way they pictured French in their works (remember that scene with the fork in Black Madonna ? :rotfl:). More precisely, Gascoigne is English, Sargent is Welsh, from no other place than Caerleon.

In Black Madonna, the team (Sutherland, Geraint, Serrin, the SAS elve and co) goes to southern France. As they approach the secret headquarters of the Priory of Sion, in a small village, a group of peasants blocks them. Sargent and Gascoigne make a great deal of the pitchfork their "leader" holds.

...I used a a lot of the cultural fluff from the LS in my Rhapsody in Shadow Campaign and it worked quite well. For the political situation and current events (it was 2062), I used the material from SoE.

I'm sorry. I seem to have blacked out after reaching "Priory of Sion". |

Into "Accepting Submissions"? Not at all. I don´t know what you mean by "motor pool", but vehicles are in Arsenal. |

Arsenal is at the printers, and will be the next book released. Soon!™ There is no Motor Pool book! Vehicles and drones will be covered in the aforementioned Arsenal. Unwired is the next core supplement, scheduled to be released some time after Arsenal, but hopefully in 2008. This thread was specifically dealing with the location books, and submission guidelines for future releases. As writing has been completed for the two valid books you mentioned (or if not in the case of Unwired, at least the Authors have been selected), it was not deemed necessary to list them as requiring submissions. |

Arsenal is at the printers. A street date will be posted when we have one.
Unwired is in development. More news when it goes to press and then when we have a street date. I have no idea what "Motor Pool" refers to; we've never used this name to refer to any books in progress that I can remember. [Edit: Well, guess I shouldn't have paused to get a cup of tea before finishing my post... ;-)] |

Yah, I didn't need anything else to pique my interest, and yet they somehow managed to do it.

We've told you before there would be manatech in Arsenal. Heck, it was first mentioned in Street Magic. |

As I mentioned elsewhere, there will be 3-4 pages devoted to "Manatech" in Arsenal - and just so you don't all start going off on wild tangents, none of this technology is coming out of the blue, we're including updates of stuff previously seen in SR3, some stuff that's already been mentioned in Street Magic, as well as quite a few entirely new surprises (I'm kinda partial to the "Petite Brume"). |
