Hey adzling,
had a busy time so it took me a while to get back ^^ Thanks so far, it is very helpful to see how people approach the massive information load and the rich (hi)story of shadowrun. I am following a micro-approach in session prep, just adding what is immediately needed and then, when time is left, i follow a macro-approach, adding year after year of the Almanac of the sixth world and whatever important element of the world comes across. Slowly, both information-webs are connecting, giving me a totally new approach to making up new runs that are connected to events that happened decades ago. But for the NPCs/Organizations/... , I think I will break down the structure to 1. Obvious Information/Appearance 2. Reputation 3. Background Story and then just add a calendar snippet if I really need to know when someone was married :-D Well, a really big help would be to sneak a peek of your realm from a players perspective ^^ Quote:

Send me your email in a PM and I'll invite you to my realm so you can see what the players see ;-)
Or just ask Acenoid, he already got an invite. |

Thought I'd another cool image.
This shows the joy of good source material (the original 1e/2e London Sourcebook) and a nice feature of Realmworks (embedded hyperlinks). The original London Sourcebook was so well thought out they included REAL addresses for their London locations 20+years ago. So as I am adding them into Realmworks I can also add in a hyperlink from google maps. Now all we have to do in-game to get a bearing on the landscape around some impromptu action is to click the address for the location entry and boom, google map for street layout + google streetview for actual on-street details is available in an instant. That's some pretty powerful stuff there for a GM. It also highlights how good the old source material was compared to the stuff being churned out today (the most recent Catalyst location setting, Seattle Digital box set has NO MAP or address info at all, go figure).

Adzling,
I had a developer reach out to you, we are trying to figure out what the problem with your realm is and make sure it's the same bug we are working on for others. They need a file from you and are having trouble accessing it. Can you please check your email? Thanks! |

Good Luck in fixing this! 6 Months is quite some time, maybe offer some kind of generous compensation - tour day through LWD studios or so
Btw just a suggestion - some developer studios do some "focus feedback sessions" maybe it might be even worthwhile to pick one hot topic to gather ideas / feedback and ideas to tackle the issue with the goal for you to get some more ideas from a different perspection. Some dedicated topics that I could imagine would be for example how to organize the ribbon bar and what functionality it should offer Join the (unofficial) Realm-Works IRC Chat: #realm-works on the Rizon Network (https://wiki.rizon.net/index.php?title=Servers) -> Browser Client: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net |

"tour day through LWD studios or so "
This made me chuckle.... since a third of LWD actually work from home...... "On your right you see what was once the immaculate living room that now looks like a paper landfill with stacks of papers sorted into suggestions, ideas, and complaints...... And on your left you see BJ's Kitchen... never mind that stack of coffee cups in the sink. They are byproducts of too many caffeine injections juggling all the LWD appearances, posts, and delays.......... or all those cherrio's sticking on the table, floor and ceiling, meticulously placed by the new tricycle motor running loose in her home. The last of course courtesy of her own children, as the child grins broadly with a bib around the neck reading sugar injections please......
