You know, the Shadowrun notion of the “Mr. Johnson”, the cyber future using trivially thin pseudonymity to allow the same actors to use lightside and darkside capabilities… that didn’t really pan out, did it?
Interesting, because the European campaigns seemed to reflect some knowledge of the period antifascism that serves as precedent to modern partisan doxxing.
The main stuff is so Cascadian though, not even just Seattle as default setting, just the UCAS, CAS, Pueblo, Sioux Nation, and Aztlan basically ARE the northeast, south, midwest, and Mexico as seen from 90s Amerindian-adjacent (thinks they’re neat!) Cascadia. (They themselves are divided into that-but-it-me Salish-Sidhe, and Tir Taingire as basically Ren Faire State of Jefferson-tinted Oregon, which fair.)
Meanwhile the Chicago campaigns are a 50s drive-in movie.
