Hi folks,

Can anybody point me at a list, or a good source, for cannon bands, trid, or simsense frachises in-universe please? Ideally in the 2050-2060 era.
I'm looking to flesh out this aspect of the world a little more.

For bands/musicians I've got Maria Mercurial, Concrete Dreams, Darwin's Bastards, Jetblack and the Shadows,

For movies/simsense, there are references in the SR1 era to the James Bond and Rambo franchises,

For trid, all I can think of is Wyrm Talk

Thanks,

For stuff like this, I like turning to the wikis. They won't be comprehensive, but they'll be a good start and they'll also do a good job of pointing you in the right direction as far as books and page numbers.

Shadowbeat is a good place to start. It's an older book but the information is still useful.

Shadowbeat is the place. The only risk is that you’ll start an Urban Brawl campaign, then a Combat Biking campaign, then an investigative journalism campaign, and only five years later will you get to the entertainment.

I don’t remember what details were in Mercurial, but since it’s about an entertainment industry figure it’s worth a shot.
