Can I point out that it says the Boston Red sox won the 2064 world serries, by default! This is due to fighting between CAS and AZT preventing the American league putting forward a team, but it's a fantasy/sci fi game and Boston still can't win the world serries by winning games!

Synner, the Witchcraft stuff is cool I think.

What I wanna know is, who won the Urban Brawl league?? The sports section is a little thin on standings.

Who won the Urban Brawl penant?!?! Come on, enquiring minds want to know.

Give us the 411!

What's the scoop!

Lay the lowdown on us!

*Wonders if people get the idea yet*

:o)

Seriously... yuck the fankees. Oh well, guess we might win eventually. I still want to know if a Cubs / Sox world series will trigger the awakning...

Any chance on someday filling in the blanks in the world of sports in the Sixth World? Things like official team lists for all wide-spread sports (especially Hockey! ), and a history of playoff results for the various sports covering at least the last 10 years from present date (especially Hockey ).

But what I really, truly, desperately, passionately need to know is...


What the hell is the name of the damn Portland (or even Seattle) hockey team?

Just as an aside, the group I'm in is going to do a run during the Urban Brawl Superbrawl in Seattle. We're hoping the guards at the place we are busting into are distracted by the game. We're waiting until the start of the 2nd quarter.

Hehe I liked the comment of the soxs winning. this way I know it is more than likely it is safe to bet on the Yanks this year. LOL just kidding but it is funny that they won by default.

Or create some of those 'jack-the-ripper' style chips based on Babe (or is that babe on base?).

Knowing the luck Boston has- they'd pay a fortune to clone "Babe" form the 20th century and end up with a pig that herds sheep.

If they're lucky, he became an ancestor spirit so all they have to do is bribe a magically active descendant of his (of the proper magical leanings) to begin negotiations to end the curse.

you can probably find a copy of Shadowbeat on e-bay.

Well, at least SR baseball hasn't been replaced with Blernsball yet.

/BLERN BLERN BLERN BLERN!!

Okay, but is it a single volume, or a magazine? If a mag, what edition (month/year?)

o.0 Blern?

Oh.

Heh can you tell that I started with 3rd Ed? *bonks head*

Now this topic is something which should be put in one of those damn update books we get now. A basic rundown of the rules of various games, such as Combat Biker and Urban Brawl, and some lists of teams etc. It'd be the perfect opportunity to give Seattle the teams it deserves, reincarnate dead teams (pun intended) ans generally update stuff.

So long as the rules make sense without needing to have the previous book, it would actually be worth money.

It's first Ed but almost without exception it is applicable to 3rd ed unchanged since it's game rules and media interaction etc.

It's one of my favorite suppliments. The abomination that was in the Raven & Wolf book does not appear. In all other sources, it's normal baseball as played today, with cyber suppliments.

Yeah, but the fact that it's first edition means it'll be dead hard to get hold of, if I were so inclined to get the oodles of OOP book to begin with. I tried that with BattleTech and gave up after getting ripped off too many times.

Depending on how you play. If you roleplay things out more, and enjoy the background side of things then perhaps it is worth it. For combat bunny groups who fast forward to combat then probably not.

I'm not suggesting a whole book though. A segment in a SOTA style book, so long as the rules get some airing, would be fine.

Or perhaps it can be included in a "We're gonna stop ignoring the newer players" compilation with maps of seattle, and perhaps some of the other background level stuff from other books. A precis of some of the important bits from the previous editions for example.

Well I have to agree I would pay for updated versions of the older books I have. Just to see what changes may or may not happen as well as having the books be more available to the new players. I'd also like to see reprints of Kage magazine and Shadowland magazine. Seeing as I don't own any Kage.

More accurately, Ka•Ge.

Admittedly I've not read SotA:2064, nor yet more than the first chapter of SoE, but I really don't think too much credit for nonredundant info is given. Nonetheless, you're correct that waiting for the PDFs makes more sense for the most part.

Aren't there already maps all over the Internet? And as someone who has The Seattle Sourcebook, I can tell you that the maps aren't really that useful except for Downtown.

What? No comments on The Road to Amazonia '64?

I thought it was a very good piece.

Actually, I finally got my hands on 2064, and apparently the Cubs do exist now, (apparently brought back to life in 2062 or so along with the Rockies and the Diamondbacks)

Just thought I'd cheer up Cubs fans out there. Heh.

Heh. I didn't notice that before. I just find it funny how many teams have stayed put with all the franchise moves. Although reading through Shadowbeat, I think someone needed to have reminded them that the NY Giants and Jets play in New Jersey, and moving the Giants to Brooklyn is ridiculous. They're not a basketball team for crying out loud! But, this is what the Jets Stadium will probably look like. Meanwhile, I don't see the Cardinals going anywhere. The Bidwells are pretty damn tenacious, and the new stadium is just too damn much for anyone to just abandon, even if the U.S. was falling apart. OTOH, having visited the construction site last month, I can say that the stadium is going to kick so much ass it should be illegal.

And College sports are pretty popular in this country (well, football and basketball), and yet nothing about March Madness?
