Rhetorical point: if you've seen the movie, despite what Chuck Heston says at the very end, Solyent Green is not people, although it does open the same arguement.

Ok, so the job would be even easier and cheaper to impliment than in Soylent Green, as they could cut out the whole plankton phase. :P :D

Why not? Delicious and nutritious. Well, actually not that tasty, from what I hear, but so it goes. I'm probably going to get lynched for this, but I actually want very little info on Madagascar. A few teasers, yes, but for the most part I want it left the mystery it is. ~J |

There are a lot of things that shouldn't be, and specifically that humans shouldn't.
Food, however, isn't one of them. |

I presume Backgammon is thinking most weapons manufactured by humans might not work so well in the hands of blind people with claws instead of fingers and freakishly long limbs in the case of the native African ghoul variant. Naturally, astral perception negates most of the penalty for blindness in this case. |

On the nails front, since the Shadowrun Companion and other books talk about ghouls being able to pass as uninfected with some work, I figured that some serious nail work should be able to take care of that. As for the arms, as long as they're both the same length that shouldn't be a problem for a lot of things except clothes and some armours IMO.

Just a pointer. A couple of African locations are described in SOTA:2064. Though they're not very detailed, at least Addis Ababa and Azania get a mention.
The Dark Continent is not dead, maybe Africa gets a better Shadowrun treatment further down the road? |
