... and the Yama Kings in KWC.
QUOTE When the French France sourcebook was written, the authors exchanged with FASA on a number of plot points. Some of them were to possibly pave the way for future metaplot if the book was going to be translated. The book does some connection between the Book of Harrows, a bad guy with ties to Aztechnology and "nasty things hidden in the astral plane" and the Brittany Mist, a hundreds kilometers-wide supernatural fog that literrally dissolved people and astral form that entered it, with a comment clearly describing it as a "cocoon". After several delays, the book finally got out in 1997. It was never translated, and FASA had changed its plan, aiming at putting an end to the Horrors metaplot with the death of Dunkelzahn. The Mist was downplayed a lot by the authors of Shadows of Europe (it sometimes appear over small or large part of Brittany, and sometimes people disappear). At the time, we thought it was just some crazy, over-the-top idea from the French authors, we only learnt years later that some part were clearly suggested by FASA people at the time. As was the Kaér below Rhine-Ruhr, to my knowledge. And maybe even the Black Forest, which has a lot in common with Vasgothia's tainted woods. Interesting though. I should try and translate the non-Paris sections of the book. |

Nigel Findley's death was one of the great tragedies of Shadowrun. He was obviously working towards something special with that Aztlan book and with so many tendrils worked through the system I really hope CGL picks this arc back up.

The one that wrote for AD&D? I had no idea... Oh! The last Aztlan book has a dedication to him. Just've just read 'bout him. He was great)) I'm looking forward to rediscovering of this arc. |
