Now hold on, that was me.
Oh, my bad then. I probably should of double checked but yeah, I was going off memory for it.
I was going off memory as well and it failed me.
Apologies MrGazzer.
Just a question, how Shadowrun is this Cyberpunk future?
This dystopian future? Well, I'm just gleaming things from the LN and I filled the holes in. This future isn't much different from our modern world with the only difference being that the world is heavily polluted, all animal and plant life in the world are protected inside massive arcologies dedicated to them, if they're dead, we're dead. Another thing would be that the countries are a bit more authoritarian and if you specifically disobey the law in like a moderate crime and refuse to desist, the police can just shoot you down and it will be in their full right. The line between the police and the military is really blurry in this world. Space exploration is blooming, lunar bases were set up a few decades ago by several other countries. The Western countries got to Mars first and they're exploiting the hell out of it. It is getting terraformed in a process that would last thousands of years before it is accomplished. Microbial alien life was discovered in the waters below Europa's surface.
There is an entire new Arabian empire that completely conquered the middle east. The world is not quite sure if they're Iranians or Saudi Arabians. Regardless, Israel too was conquered although the government discourages any discrimination against them since they acknowledge they're a minor part of their population that would become quite troublesome if they rose up.
European Union is doing well and it's not merely a socio-economical association but a whole new country, tensions are there due to Britain having left more than a century ago but the European Union simply pressurized it with embargos, military might and so on until it caved in due to the rapidly worsening situation since they were cut off from world trade. They also conquered what's left in the east of Europe who couldn't offer much than a meager resistance and they're in direct borders with Russia. On the bright side, they're offering better technology and life. Modern countries know better than to oppress a population or people.
Russia's situation didn't change as it had its highs and lows through the century.
In Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Tunis are in a coalition, economic and militaristic.
I think I've said a bit much but I'll finish up with the US since its where Karen is. They hold a pretty big claim of territory on the moon, similarly in Mars and they're having an arms race with Russia on who can make the most efficient and powerful weapons in space. Russia too is scrambling to claim territories in outer-space. They're trying to claim Saturn's moons right now.
No war was done in space before.
Yes, the Moon Treaty was long dissolved.
EDIT: Oh and corporations have a lot more power. Like a lot more.
Wonder if we can make a monster NPC. Like a fire giant or as a minion or something. Might do well in the forge maybe? Only summon it when we want it to make something.
Nothing is stopping you but do expect some jerks to try and kill your heteromorphic NPC. Generally, humanoids players by principe only make other Humanoid NPCs or non-monstrous looking Demi-Humans.
