Wouldn't it be appropriate to cyberpirate Cyberpirates?

Yes yes, I know, Special Hell.

Yep, A special Hell indeed; for those who talk in Movie Theatres, and those who cyberpirate CyberPirates...

Thank you. I will think about incorporating this into my maps.

I've seen the pics now of the Mapuche areas with the dotted lines and the big honking toxic zone heading to antarctic, whats the story about that stuff; and what is the status of Ecuador, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay- Is Uruguay part of Amazonia or Not? it was supposedly absorbed in 2062 but the sixth world almanac has it independent Or is it a puppet state or "Autonomous" within Amazonia? and what about the Falklands and south Georgia I bet the Magic in those places would be Real interesting

The answer is 'crap editing' and crappier work on the map, which is off and inaccurate in almost every place.

As far as I know, the best way to describe Uruguai is "it is a puppet state of Amazonia".

It had such promise, too. I was looking forward to an amazing compilation of everything geopolitical in Shadowrun, and they gave us THAT.

Shadows of Latin America v1.2 (PDF - 90.4 MB)

Edit: Map of Ecuador included; Credits included.

Wow!
Impressive work fexes!
Thanks a lot!

That is amazing work!

It looks gorgeous. But one first nitpick: why isn't Metropole on the map on page 5?

There are just the national capitals in this overview.

Hmm, okay. I guess that makes sense from a systematic point of view. Anyway, the grater whole really looks beautiful

The download link doesn't work on my computer. Any chance you might upload it at mediafire or 4shared or dropbox?

Did you try right-click + save to (or something like this)?

sorry, i uploaded a new file. please try again.

Works! Amazing work on the book!

That.
Is.
Incredible!

Thank you all who were involved in making this come true!

Also: lols @ Picture of Danny Trejo guy! ^^

Shadows of Latin America v1.2-1 (lowres PDF - 22 MB)

Looks very nice. Haven't had a change to sit down and read, but just did a quick skim on it. Just to confirm, this book is set in 2064 and is for SR3, right?

It was put together from the drafts written for a SR3 book that was never released.

After all these years. It's like finding the grail

Happy New Year, chummers.

This is beautiful! I love it. The link is going in my signature, for sure.

Wouldn't mind some reviews after all this time...

First impressions of the first printing. Can't wait for the finished book.

i didn't finish reading yet, but I'm having a blast reading and finding amusing some mistakes about Brazil's government (FUNAI being the quickest to notice) but it's a great read even so.

Could you please use something other than Imageshack? I hate their stupid register-to-see policy.

PDF looks awesome, by the way.

I notice that the Falkland islands are still listeded as 'Falklands' I'm guess Argentina is too screwed up to waste troops there but what is the UK precence?

I wondered about that as well.. is nothing happening there?

Oooohhh...
i gotta check that PDF out.

DLing now

Thank!

Well, it had to happen:
Frank Trollman, to the Review!

It's actually nowhere near as scathing as his last shadowrun reviews O.o

Huh? I'm certainly not registered at Imageshack and never had problems seeing images there...

Ditto.

Ditto-Ditto? Double-Ditto? Not sure what it would be. I will say that I, on occasion, have had some issues with Imageshack, but not lately. Never did figure out why either.

Every time I click on the links, I get the stupid iced frog pic from Imageshack, asking me to register. That's why I'm asking for someone to host them on a different service (Picasa, Photobucket... basically, any website that doesn't behave like a dick).

I've updated the links to the photos.

Could be something location-based, the internet is not flat. Anyway, good to know that Imageshack is not trouble-free for everyone.

Woh... finally I can send my 3rd Ed players to Buenos Aires...

Yes, one of the holy grails of the shadowrun world.

Frank actually gave it a 7 out of 10 . . that's one hell of a praise coming from him . .

Just a minor remark refering to the brazilian Northeast Region. The two biggest cities are not Fortaleza and Salvador, but rather Recife (hometown) and Salvador. Fortaleza might be best known worldly because there's a huge sex turism industry in that town, but economically speaking, Recife is way bigger than Fortaleza.

By the way, the names of the brazilians shadowtalkers are HILARIOUS.

According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Fortaleza is 60% larger than Recife population-wise. What would you say they're overlooking?

12 largest cities by populations

1. 11,244,369 – São Paulo, São Paulo
2.   6,323,037 – Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro
3.   2,676,606 – Salvador, Bahia
4.   2,562,963 – Brasília, Distrito Federal
5.   2,447,409 – Fortaleza, Ceará
6.   2,375,444 – Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais
7.   1,802,525 – Manaus, Amazonas
8.   1,746,896 – Curitiba, Paraná
9.   1,536,934 – Recife, Pernambuco
10.   1,409,939 – Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul
11.   1,392,031 – Belém, Pará
12.   1,301,892 – Goiânia, Goiás

Downloaded. This is awesome so far (I'm just into page 11). Someone should try to see if Ramos can paint a picture...if his entertainment activities are any indication I don't think he'll turn out to be any good at artisan skills for some reason.

BTW, how much of this or similar material have they used for SR4 so far, if any? Haven't bought anything SR4-related since 2008-09.

LordHaHa

EDIT: It seems reading deeper into it there's more and more crossover from the stuff I do have. Guess I answered my own question.

All together now:

Don't cry for my Argentina
The truth is, I never left you....

You are correct when taking the population of onli the cities, and I'll say I was surprised the population of Fortaleza only is bigger than Recife, but I'm quite sure when taking into account the metropolitan areas, Recife has the third largest conrubation, losing only to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. But my point still stands, Fortaleza might be internationally known as a turistic city (hell they have even more sunny days than we do and their beaches are beautiful) but Recife is right now (and could still be in Shadowrun) one of the largest medical pools of Brazil and we have a lot of software companies, some of them multinationals (I work two floor below an Accenture office and three below a Microsoft one). And with medical companies AND software companies you have two very good reasons why shadowrunning could be possible here.

Anyway, just my two nuyen. And I guess I said before, but I'll say again, I loved this book.

Minor nit-pick:

Jasone Levine should be called Jason Levine.

I didn't notice that, but you'd be correct!

One thing I looked for but didn't see- off of Montevedeo, is the wreck of the Graf Spee still there? is it there today? Can people dive on it the way they do wrecks like the Andrea Doria?

Really nice question!
Wikipedia has this to say:

Hmm,would give the term ghost-ship a whole new meaning . .
Or the wreck, pumped dry and closed up, could be used as a kind of under water base for smugglers.
