In the Interim..., Question on Events Since YOTC Options

[UpSyndrome]

Hi I did a quick search and didn't find anything, so I thought I'd ask the more knowledgable community about some of the events of YOTC, and what has happened in the time between then and 2064. For players in East Lansing, don't read the following.

[ Spoiler ]

Does anyone know what the Yucatan war is looking like by 2064? My players had been shipwrecked in the Pacific when traveling from Australia, and picked up by Peruvian fishermen, so in their further quest to return to Seattle, I thought about getting them involved with the Yucatan war (not sure on which side yet). If anything knows of any sources that deal with that information, or has some realistic suggestions, I'd be much obliged.

The SOTA books (63 and 64) do updates on world events, big runs, major findings, etc. Might want to check those books out.

Put them on the side of the Azzies! Fragging rebels get too much credit, IMO.

Or, better yet, make them join the dark side without them realizing they're joining the darkside...until they've already committed acts that won't win them any favors from the opposing side.

"Wait...you mean all this time...we've actually been working for <X>?!"

On further thought, basically I guess I'm saying making it like...well...a normal SR :)

[UpSyndrome]

Yeah, thanks all, esp Jack. I have those books but clean forgot about the update sections.

I most commonly reference 2063 for the genetech section, and 2064 for spies and adept powers. Having 20-odd 3rd edition sourcebooks, I sometimes forget about the goodies that each contains, despite the fact that I try to read each one cover to cover at least once.

Doesn't Threats 2 have a fair bit of information on this as well?

~J

[UpSyndrome]

I don't think so. I actually checked there first, mistakenly remembering the bit from YOTC as coming from there.

Basically--no, not much has been mentioned about Aztlan recently. The world's kind of a big place, you know. And maybe it's because a whole book about the region is in some stage of development.

[Kagetenshi]

And there's only so much to say.

[ Spoiler ]

Azzies commit atrocities! Rebels commit atrocities! Azzies commit more atrocities! Rebels commit atrocities and blame it on the Azzies! Azzies commit atrocities that they make everyone think was the rebels trying to make people think the Azzies were committing atrocities! Meanwhile, Astral Space has started gibbering and announced that it is now named Ristul…

So wait, are you guys trying to tell me that the Azzies commit attrocities, and Darke is in on it. Wow! I never would have guessed. ;)


So basically it is up to us to figure out the details for our own purposes unless noted otherwise.

[Moonstone Spider]

[Jrayjoker]

No, never. In fact I count on it most of the time. Half the time I am shocked when a player pulls out a book and specifically tells me that something else happened per canon. I just assume I can do whatever I want and there goes a sourcebook messing with me! :twirl:

[Synner]

Another book with updates on the Yucatan situation is Dragons of the Sixth World.

[Kanada Ten]

If I were in the Yucatan, I would be carefully watching the actors in the Kilimanjaro Solution for signs of a second event...

[Guest_Crimsondude 2.0_*]

Especially the spirits. They may just decide to write off Kilimanjaro in the (relative) short-term in order to reinforce the beachhead they have in the Yucatan.

[Fix-it]

What?????

/hasn't read DOTSW.

[Crimson Jack]

The Hualpa section.

[UpSyndrome]

Oh yeah, thanks Synner. That particular book is cool, but collecting dust somewhere as my campaign is too new for me to want to bring dragons into the mix just yet.
