Interesting. Just please tell me you wont be using the novels for information or at least cutting out the truly awful parts - fanatical super elven physical adepts with special swors that work for the Yakuza as enforcers for example, although one of the Five Familes turning themselves into La Cosa Nostra Inc. corporation did amuse me.

And why do people get upset when devs say the old novels aren't canon?

EDIT

Scratch that and ignore my ignorance. They are.

If you look at it now, sure. BUT if you have been playng for years no. Because when the quake leveled Manhattan there would have been less housing avaialbe on Manhattan which would have increased the need for commuters while it was being rebuilt and corps, having built corp housing in 'Jersey, Westchester and Long Island would not want to just walk away from it.

Manhattan could be for the ultras- rich or poor -who can afford the best or scrimp by. But most people will still come from the outlying districts.

Any time SR covers a place, people that actually live there come on and tell us how that would never happen / the place would never be that way / the interpretation is totally wrong / etc. In fact, usually several denizens come on to give us completely different sets of reasons that it's "wrong". It's par for the course.

I will never forgive CalFree for making Chico ,California slaves to the inbred water militia!

I liked the Manhatten Ebook though. I hope to see more supplements along the same vein.

As I recall, it had something to do with problems in the basement levels.
