If you are interested I always update this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments...xth_world_news/ A note: most of these are not accurate to the day and often the month (the precise date is often not known) I try to spread them around the year evenly but it also depends on when I find the time. And I don't shy away from conjecture.
