Apologies Fortune you are correct. Someone get the stocks and rotten veg ready...

With a liberal amount of Thatcherism thrown in...

With regards to the London Sourcebook, both Marc Gascoigne and Carl Sargeant are British, as undoubtly proven by the way they pictured French in their works (remember that scene with the fork in Black Madonna ? ). More precisely, Gascoigne is English, Sargent is Welsh, from no other place than Caerleon.

The fork? Please explain.

In Black Madonna, the team (Sutherland, Geraint, Serrin, the SAS elve and co) goes to southern France. As they approach the secret headquarters of the Priory of Sion, in a small village, a group of peasants blocks them. Sargent and Gascoigne make a great deal of the pitchfork their "leader" holds.

Yep. That title gets my vote.

...I used a a lot of the cultural fluff from the LS in my Rhapsody in Shadow Campaign and it worked quite well. For the political situation and current events (it was 2062), I used the material from SoE.

NERPS

FOR ENDOMORPHINS.

[Edit: Non sequitur]

BTW, Here are places I would like to see in Awakened Haunts

1. Boston

2. New Orleans

3. Metropole (Since it includes Rio de Janeiro)

4. Snowdownia County, Wales and/or the Scottish Wild Zone

5. Transylvania, Especially Southern Transylvania

6. Aden City

7. Ayuddha, Thailand

8. Ankgor Wat

9. Nan Matol

Arsenal is at the printers. A street date will be posted when we have one.

Unwired is in development. More news when it goes to press and then when we have a street date.

I have no idea what "Motor Pool" refers to; we've never used this name to refer to any books in progress that I can remember.

[Edit: Well, guess I shouldn't have paused to get a cup of tea before finishing my post... ]

Just when you think you've hit bottom .... someone throws you a shovel.

Ah... Someone tosses you a shovel and you double-time digging the hole.

anybody get the "Manatech" part of that one bit of Shadowtalk in Corporate Enclaves?
seems like it will be in there

Yah, I didn't need anything else to pique my interest, and yet they somehow managed to do it.

Syn continues to surprise me.

hey, sorry for the thread necromancy here, but i was unable to comment on this when it was a current topic.

Considering the fact that Detroit is (mostly) a feral city in modern day, i'd really like to see what happens to it over the course of seventy years of chaos. you want a place that's gone to the dogs? my brother can tell you a story about his van being chased down the street by a roving pack of wild dogs. there are people in other countries, who have never set foot in Detroit, who study the city as the textbook case of urban decay. and hell, i would think the Michigan Militia would have a few things to say about all the political upheaval in the UCAS and the social upheaval of metahumanity.

Detroit is 2070 is pretty much owned lock, stock and barrel by Ares, and would probably no longer qualify as a 'feral' city.

really? hmm. are there any sourcebooks that talk about Detroit? i don't recall anything in the corebook about it. i mean...i certainly didn't read everything in the history chapter, so i might have missed it.

Target: UCAS

Hi

I h've only came pass an art preview to arsenal. I know it is already in the electronic shelves, but no pdf preview jet.

So I read the official transcript.

What's the timeline on Cities of Intrigue's location list being finalized?

Further previews will be released in the next few weeks building up to the street date.


Cities of Intrigue is still a fair way down the line. It's slotted for a 2009 street date with development kicking off later this year. I wouldn't expect the final locations to be selected for several months yet, and they will be at least partially contingent on the proposals (and quality thereof) we recieve in the coming months. That said, we do already have a few submissions on file that we will be reviewing and we do have a short list for which sprawls we'd like to see get the spotlight.

Sounds good.

Did anybody happen to watch Life After People on the History Channel recently? There was some great inspiration in there for Feral Cities...

I bet if I compared Tamatave and Fort Dauphin in Madagascar, they'd be pretty close.

I liked the part where it seemed like there was still life and electricity in the buildings, but then as you get closer you realize that it's just fires being burned for heat/warmth inside abandoned office buildings, or reflecting off the glass from the ground below.

i'm really hoping Athens (Greece in general, really) made the cut. the low-level warfare that's apparently been smoldering in the region for the last several decades would make it work for a feral city, i think, and the fact that the area's impact on the magic of the sixth world is second only to that of the NAN--it's home to three metavariants--makes it a crime to have not covered yet.

Athens will not be in Feral Cities, which is turning out very nicely indeed, but is likely to make the cut in one of the next books.

I have a twenty says that it ends up in Awakened Haunts.

that'd work.
