Primary Authors and Development As with everything, the real world intrudes. Earl Hollar, Paul Jensen, Eva Rijser and David Short As I’m writing this, the holiday season and an Editors impending vacation is fast approaching. Seattle 2063 was a surprise project for us, and as much Elissa Carey, Earl Hollar, Paul Jensen, Adam Jury, Eva as we tried to have it completely finished before Rijser, David Short and Pamela Zerbinos Christmas 2002 got in the way, it was simply not Artwork possible.

For example, a Adam Jury: In The Shadows, resturant that has no racial or ethnic biases simply does not The Silent Cafe have a bias entry, as opposed to saying “No Racial Bias.” Sara “Wildfire” Miller: Blue Heaven, Children of the Light Downtown Seattle—being the hub of the city—is covered Educational Center, Firefly’s Jar, The Holistic Garden, first, and then all districts are organized in alphabetical School of the Red Dragon, Skidmarks order, with the exception of the Puyallup and Redmond Robert “Rico” Murphy: Amp’s Olde Repair Shoppe Barrens, which follow all the other districts. Jeff “Ampere” Preston: Trideo Shack Not playing in Seattle? Mark “Harley667” Reynolds: Bold As Brass, The Dancing If your game isn’t set in Seattle, a supplement named Ronin Seattle 2063 may at first appear of dubious use to you. David “Eli” Short: Crossroads Shopping Mall, Mamma However, with minimal tweaking all the locations could J’s Bistro and Cyber Cafe easily be dropped into any North American metroplex— they may lack the correct flavor for international locales. Jason Wasikowski: Enigma Organized crime is present throughout North America, Crazy Elf: Public Access Matrix Terminal No: 3278 and while the names may change, political figures and machinations drive the public sector everywhere you go. I heartily encourage non-Seattle players and gamemasters to dig through this supplement, modify what you like, and make of much use as you can of it. After all, the more things change, the more things stay the same. 2 SEATTLE 2063 The Shadowrun Supplemental 3 SAMPLE ARTICLE, YO.
