Ok guys and gals, the other thread I just started the ‘News in the Shadows’ thread is going to be a fairly constantly updated thread with the various headlines and basic shadow related info your chars would find out about during the week, either on news nets, shadowland bbs, or word of mouth from their chummers.

I’m going to ask that you try to check here Friday or Saturday each week, basically to keep yourself (and your character up to date on going on’s). If you don’t check, then your character is not keeping up on the news so you may have to rely on word of mouth from the rest of the group.

I’ll use this as the thread for the out of character info/talk as we go thru the game. So check back here often.

Well so far 2057 has been a fairly eventfull year. In January we found out that last year’s elections for UCAS Pres were rigged, so President Steel and VP Booth were impeached, and now Pres Pro Tem Betty Jo Pritchard is calling a new election. Normally that wouldn’t mean a lot to Joe runner, since most of us dont have a SIN to vote with, but since the announcement of new elections it seems everyone and their brother/sister is declaring to run for the presidency. At last count over 40 different drek heads had made it onto the ballot.

Now comes the news last week that the Big D himself DUNKELZAHN (Yes the GREAT DRAGON DUNKELZAHN) is running for the presidency of the UCAS. Biz in the shadows was already jumping, with everyone trying to find/make some drek to sling at their competition, and now I do belive we might see more activity then ever before.

On the smaller scale, here in Seattle we have a couple of groups opening up new digs that could be interesting. You could say we have good guys and bad guys showing up (who’s who depends on your feelings on the matter). Both Humanis Policlub and The Universal Brotherhood are opening doors next week of their new homes. Fortunatly they are quite aways apart from each other 🙂

Its still not making the newsfeeds for the rest of the scags here in town but we still have scattered reports of folks going missing all over town in the less affluent areas, something or someone is out there folks, dont let your guard down, and keep your friends close.

The rumor mill is buzzing lately with word that the Orks in the underground were expanding their tunnels and made a wrong turn. It seems they may have tunneled into the Renraku Arcology sub basement or some such. My sources tell me several poor orks got greased when the samurai responded to the intrusion; no word yet on what the orks are gonna do for revenge.

Well thats the headlines for tonight, remember shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never ever deal with a dragon. See ya next time.

Repost of Kev’s Site link. His World history, & Character Creation rules.

I thought we could use a thread to talk about character concepts, ask questions, figure out what we want to see in a campaign, and the like. (Plus, if I find any useful links, I’ll tack them on.)
