Hello.

I've started writing up Denmark as a runner haven in 2072. I haven't gotten very far, but I'd like to hear if anyone have ever run games set in either Denmark, Norway, Germany or Sweden, and what sort of facts about these countries came up?

If you know about any 2-3-4th ed sources about these countries you can share, I'd be very thankful as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Shadows of Europe would be a good place to start. It's 3e, but provides a nice place to start from.
I haven't picked up 6th World Almanac yet, so don't know how much how help that can be.

With regards to the 6th World Almanac, if there's any info on Scandinavia, it's hidden within one of the chapters on other areas, because it doesn't have anything on it's own.

I do recall coming across something about the company "Maersk" somewhere in SR. That's a real Danish company, and one of the truely major Danish companies.

Generally speaking, however, I'd love to see some more info on Scandinavia, as this area doesn't really seem to get mentioned very much at all in SR. (At least not that I've come across so far...).

Shadows of Europe. You want it. Also, there is a WEALTH of stuff on Germany in Shadowrun, usually German-only stuff. If you speak the language, the Pegasus edition books might be worth a look.

Look here for references to older sourcebooks: http://wiki.dumpshock.com/index.php/Europe, and then click on the contries in question.

They specifically mention:
Shadows of Europa
Target:Smuggler’s Havens
Germany Sourcebook
Corporate Download
Harlequin
London Sourcebook
SR3

But some of these only refer to a company that is present , or the countries relations to some other country.

-- SWA doesn't add anything at all. Your best bet is to seek out Shadows of Europe and perhaps Target: Wastelands for how the Trans Polar Aleut fit into things.

If you have access to German books and can understand German, look for:
- Deutschland in den Schatten II
- Brennpunkt: ADL
- München Noir
- SOX
- Berlin

The Pegasus SR4 books also all have a German special article detailing Germany-specific stuff, but most of these aren't worth it.

The closest 4th edition setting is Hamburg, briefly described in Runner Havens.
Also, look-up stuff on the Black Tide: http://wiki.dumpshock.com/index.php/Black_Tide

Germany isn't Scandinavia though.
For those of us Euros wanting to run closer to home but outside of Germany, pickings are slim.
I'm running United Netherlands-based stuff a lot myself. Have to wing most of it. That's a large part of the charm as well though, IMHO.

I know, but OP specifically asked for Germany.

There was a rather well done UNL netbook around back in the day, that it seems most of the UNL in SoE is based on.

You wouldn't happen to know where to find it?

Oh sorry, I missed that completely.

If anyone would know where to find this netbook, I'd owe them a lot of thanks indeed.

I might have it on my home computer, and I sure have a printout somewhere with the old location; will look into that this evening. It might have been taken down after Shadows of Europe for copyright reasons, though. Also, have the scand union netbook(warning, pdf download). It's what the writeup in SoE is based on, but not entirely canonic.

Actually I believe the original poster asked about Denmark and Scandinavia...

Well, since I happen to live in the future UNL, I'd be very happy if you could find that one too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No problem there, having. To handle German tends to be a not insumountable problem for us Dutchies. Whatever your efforts dig up is appreciated indeed.

Yeah, worked the other way round too (that, and using a dictionary for some words). I'll see if I can find it.

It's MS word for the PowerPC. I'll try and save as a more current word version.

Edit: try the link again, does that work better?
