I don't suppose you could tell us where S5 is going to be based?

Not yet, sorry.

I keep suggesting Winnipeg.

Still voting for Hong Kong.

It's not open for voting, and I've learned NEVER listen to CanRay

We have a very specific location planned, and I think it'll be a lot of fun. Lots of runner opportunities, a chance to tell some good stories, etc.

We'll likely announce later on this year, probably in teh fall. Some details still need to be worked out. But like I did for Season 4, I'd like to have a solid idea of exactly where we're going, what the main plots will be, and who the main Contacts will be ready to post when we announce.

So season 5 involves drop bears?

Winnipeg and Hong-Kong are two candidates for a possible forum vote...and here's my suggestion: Salt Lake City in the underground vault in Emigration Canyon, known to store genealogy material information in the LDS church's family study center. My plot: futuristic food seed preserves are at high risk of possession and need to be defended in season 5, the objective: Shadowrun players must save the world's emergency food supply storage vault from a total disaster by a madman or organized criminal unit wants to threaten the future.

Just bringing this to Bull's attention.

Runners in SPAAAAAAAACE!

You got me. The new season is set on Mars.

Poor mages

I'm excited. No magic at all... just straight mundanes? Awesomesox... Shadowrun as pure Cyberpunky vs the magic...

Bad news. It's not Mars. It's Chicago. Admittedly, the huge background count will hamper mages and the roaming FAB III clouds will screw with summoning, but there are still bugs, ghouls, and all manner of human vermin to contend with. Should be a nice mix of feral city survival, playing off the corps looking to exploit the reconstruction opportunities, and dealing with the internal forces within the city who've come to like things the way that they are.

Meh.

On the other hand, that heavy assault gear load-out you normally keep locked away unless you're heading to the Barrens?

You may be able to wear it openly in many parts of Chi-Town.

I'm kind of curious how that's going to work. The more I think about it, the more I really like the prospect of the "deferalling" of Chicago. There is a metric ton of corporate cash to be made, so there should be plenty of work.
