[Sendaz]

Black Books, a French publisher and official licensee of Shadowrun in France, has relaunched the classic adventure Renraku Arcology: Shutdown, with the rules adapted for 5th Ed, 6th Ed and Anarchy as part of their 'Heritage" series of older books never published in France before. I like the concept.

The concept is indeed somewhat intriguing, however I'm a bit skeptical about how well the whole "Whites" thing translates from original Otaku to Technomancers both in terms of narrative and mechanics. I'm also not the target audience due to my personal edition preferences and even if that weren't the case I'm not entirely sure that I'd want to brush up my mostly dormant French skills for something that I still own as an original.

But going by the comments on their page there certainly are French speaking fans who are delighted to see this ... so more power to those fans as well as Black Books and Ombres Portées 2.0

I find this a very positive developement, even if it is the frenchies doing it and i never transitioned out of 3rd ed.

Yep, I'm especially curious how they deal with cyberware and Essence loss, since white cybereyes used to be what made the Whites Whites.
