Abstruse
Legend
Shadowrun was my first roleplaying game. I have a large collection of books (both game books and novels) and I still, over two decades later, read them regularly. I love the history and the world, but there's a lot of little stuff that slips under the radar if you don't read ALL the books, especially in the earlier editions of the game. So I figured I'd offer my expertise and answer any questions anyone has about the Shadowrun game world.
While I'd be happy to answer rules questions somewhere else, that's not what this thread is about. It's about the default setting world of Shadowrun that has been detailed in hundreds of sourcebooks and novels. Also, I'm good up until about 2070, then my knowledge gets fuzzy (FanPro screwed the pooch on the metaplot when they hit publishing delays that prevented the first plot-related book from being published for three or four years, and CGL shifted a lot of the plot onto their small mini-sourcebooks and their Missions seasons. But anything from the 1999 timeline split from the real world up until the Crash 2.0, I should be able to answer if there's an answer to be had.
