This may have been answered somewhere else, so if there is a thread already please direct me to it.

This is mostyl a question for those that have already purchased the 6th World Almanac. I'm always on the look out for some info on Seattle, since most of my games take place there. I was thinking about purchasing Seattle 2072 from the Catalyst store. When it comes out in print, I plan on buying the 6th World Almanac and was wondering if the section on Seattle is extensive enough that buying the PDF Seattle 2072 wouldn't really be worth it. I don't need info on EVERYTHING in the city, but the more the better I suppose.

I guess the question really boils down to this: Is 6th World Almanac a good resource for Seattle inof? Or should I think about getting Seattle 2072 as well/instead?

If all you want is information on Seattle, get only Seattle 2072. The Sixth World Almanac focuses more on the general history of the Sixth World, and includes a few short blurbs on selected nations. You're very unlikely to find anything more than a paragraph or two on any specific city there.

Okay... I still plan on getting 6th world alm. Definitely want some of the lore in there, but I probably will get Seat 2072 for the city itself... is there anything like that on Denver and Manhattan? Preferably updated to 4th edition, but anything would help as well. I'm interested in those cities as well.

Check out The Rotten Apple for Manhattan. Nothing new for Denver yet.

Cool. I had heard mention of the Rotten Apple, but couldn't find it. Silly me, I was looking under PDF Sourcebooks and not PDF Only Books... sheesh.

Thanks though, and I will definitely be looking out for a Denver book/PDF.
