I don't really have a problem with doing the whole chapter.
Ancient History
Let's make a go for the whole chapter; if it doesn't work we'll just cover the first half and do the other half the week after.

Besides, different people will likely focus on different areas anyway. Should we suggest a format for initial reports, essay style, or just post in stream of thought on whatever section of the chapter each poster is interested in, then open it to replies?

It might help if we limit it at first to each persons section highlight, then go ahead with replies. That way no one's 'report' gets lost in the shuffle.

That would of course require a roll call for everyone that is in fact going to be doing a report/post.

Thoughts?

But I don't wanna go back to school!

Can we please not overcomplicate this? =)

Fist, you wouldn't happen to be a teacher/professor would you?

was just a thought...
Ancient History
I was just going to start with the intro fiction and figured we'd progress at our own pace.
Demonseed Elite
Just peeking in to check on the status of this. Is the thread supposed to be up already?
Ancient History
I meant to give people another day or two and then promptly forgot. D'oh!
Demonseed Elite
Hah, no problem. I know at least some of what you've been busy working on!
Ancient History
Okay, since we're coming to the end of discussions on Runner Havens, do we want to try for Emergence starting next Saturday, or should we hold it off for a week after?
Fortune
I think we could give Runner Havens a bit more discussion time.
Simon May
I concur. I mean, how many books do we have to discuss? 4 or 5 right now? And how long until #6 appears? I'd rather not run out of material too quickly.

Plus, I don't have emergence yet.
casarez
I would not mind holding off a bit since you guys seem to blaze through the books. I came to the Runner Haven discussion late as it were after it seems it had been derailed a bit.
raggedhalo
I'd definitely be up for contributing to a discussion on Emergence as and when it appears; I've just started running my players through it.
Ancient History
No rush, then. We'll give it some time before starting the next book, hmm?

I take it then that the Runner Havens book review is finished. Were we still looking at Emergence next?
Stormdrake
Would love to get in on this
Ancient History
The more the merrier, and yeah. Emergence is next. Why don't we plan on discussing the first chapter next Saturday (the 10th)?

Works for me.

That works (the 10th that is). And I agree, going by chapter will make it much easier than an over all at once.

I just have one single question on emergence. What's the setting (what city does it take place in?)
Ophis
All over the world, but HK has a big event in it and Seattle gets some love.

Hong Kong. Seattle. Outer Space.

Seriously, it's a world events book, there's a lot of stuff happening in it. It doesn't confine itself to a single region or city. It's more like System Failure than it is like Runner Havens.

As someone on another forum put it: Emergence is less of a traditional campaign (with adventures/set pieces fully mapped out) and more of a "campaign framework". It details a number of events that take place all over the Sixth World in later 2069 through to the end of 2070 (which means Runner Havens is chronologically set/posted almost halfway through). Adventure seeds and plot outlines are provided to ground such events in the day to day business of shadowrunning.
