Well I did some legwork on the city itself ... via wikipedia, city guide and the official web site of new york city
and look what was already in the corporate enclave and some six world wiki. so nothing that I will post is officialy cannon (I did saw others that have open some point of view for official writers and have been enlighting) I am haven't any credibility as a writer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif) cuz I'm not ... juste a Master and player who happen to play a game in N.Y.C. But as I see it and it's a personal view only backed by little research (it's only a projection exercice) Manhattan Inc run the show - Manhattan inc is in reality 13 big corps ... and corps have one goal ; Make money out of people .... Every excuses ares good to bombard the citizens with tailored pubs to ensure maximum money spending. - Corp don't like to spend money where it's not translated in direct profit ... so expect corp to act like Wall shop and check every bags of customer at the exit ... you may have forgotten to pay somthing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) - Manhattan inc Is the mayor office and by such the boss of all services and infra structure in the city. It doesn't pay a lot to send people cleaning lowerclass places... it's more cost efficient to juste make sure filth doesn't come near the nices places. - Corps do benifits from extra-terriorialities ... logicaly it mean you enter a big AAA owned places your under THEIR juridictions ... you change building and enter a other building owned by a other corp .. it's the juridiction of an other tripple A (ok their not all tripple A in manhattan .. but you get my point) And please forgive any syntax or mispelling as english is NOT my own language. |

Going back to the original topic of the post -- as announced in last Saturday's Developer chat, there will be eBooks released that further flesh out New York City.

Umm - almost too embarassed to type this but -
is this chat thing something that was recorded/transcribed anywhere? Couldn't find a transcript on the Catalyst site, but I also have Incompetent in Data Search. Or is it a snooze and lose kind of thing? What is an eBook? Is that like those PDF things that let everyone read the new books before me? Does it cost money? When can I get it (before GenCon?)? Sorry to be so hopeless with machines. Signed, Luddite in London |

We haven't posted the official transcript yet, but there's an unofficial link here: http://www.2shared.com/file/3620530/9b7f04...hat_190708.html
[the actual download link is near the bottom-right, where it says "Save file to your PC. When we say "ebook", we mean "PDF", yes. We will be selling original PDFs in the future -- not just PDF versions of the print sourcebooks. This will include the NYC season of Shadowrun Missions, along with support material for SRM and Shadowrun in general. |

Argh! PDFs without books! Blasphemy.
But if it means more SR product, I really should be happy! And thanks for answering my technophobe questions! |

Adam - I do appreciate your help.
But the file you directed me to seems to have only the second half of the chat - it starts just as the SRM and eBook questions end! |

I'll work on getting the full official transcript posted over the weekend.
As for releasing PDFs of stuff we're not releasing in print, well ... that's the ONLY way that some of this material can get released. There's all sorts of stuff we want to do, but it's just not cost effective to release in print. Plus, I hear that they make devices for your home and/or office that can convert digital documents to paper-based ones... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Adamu--Regarding the before GenCon comment, IIRC Vairdic guessed a release date of near September for the first e-books about NYC. If you have specific questions that I can address, shoot me a PM.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Yeah, I have one of those wonder-machines, but there are so many cords and things, I am afraid it is currently in a box. But for SR books, I may have to make a go of it! |

So you won't be able to just download the SRM missions from the main website to run like you can now?

That is correct. They'll be available to purchase -- as PDFs -- from our online store BattleCorps.com
