![]() ![]() Think of the level of destruction that I-5 represents. In a dystopian future they would not last long. Even if they weren't the historical preservation laws are only 30 years old. It is quite possible that many of the historic buildings were destroyed. There was also large scale rioting and (I think) an earthquake. A park in the middle of a very high class neighborhood becomes a squatter camp then maybe the wealthy neighbors don't mind selling it to some corp. I use them all.įederated-Boeing is called such because it was partially bought by Federated Arms, if I recall the history.Īlso consider that Seattle is supposed to be a refugee city for at least several decades in there. Oh, and another thing I use in my games is the real radio/tv station call letters. What, if any, changes have you made to the layouts of your game world that stand apart from Canon? To get back to the purpose of this thread to begin with. While I can pull rank on them, and put them in their place, why should I when I feel a little betrayed as well. The hardest part for me is trying to explain to my very demanding players that something that they KNOW to exist is suddenly not there. I live here, and it is obvious that the creators of SR, and the writers of SS and New SS have never been here. Alderwood Mall being listed as being on side of a severe hill, not at the bottom of the hill where it is or Everett Mall located 1 mile to the west, in a housing developement or Aurora Village which ceased to exist before the printing of the Seattle Sourcebook. Look, most things are small and can be overlooked. Did he get his way? Can you say Safeco Field? I watched Paul Allen (that other rich guy in Microsoft) take over the initiative to get a new baseball stadium after the people had already voted AGAINST it. I have watched Boeing feast and famine and ultimately decide to LEAVE Seattle! (They are looking at taking their production elsewhere now!) Starbucks has grown, nay, boomed into a huge corporation where you can find a Starbucks on ever third or fourth corner, almost literally, in downtown Seattle, and Bellevue. Seriously, businesses around here can't even get a permit to remodel the outside of a building in Pioneer Square because of the Historical status.Īdd to that the fact that it's enough trouble making corporations the enemy without having real life corporations suing you for using their names. The Smith tower, the 3rd tallest building in 1914 get stomped on by the Arcology as well. Where is the underground then? The Arcology even coverns the ground of the US West Coast's Tallest building, the Columbia Center, a.k.a. Therefore preserving the underground, which gets taken over by the Arcology. You'll notice that Pioneer Square has no large, tall buildings. One thing I have noticed is that whenever a new tall building is put in, they dig a hole hundreds of feet deep to anchor it. Maybe it was dug out further by the orcs, I do not know. It's not that deep and it is not that widespead. Not to mention that the underground that Orks so love in this game is right under the Arcology. (When and IF it opens back up.)ĭH, where do you live? Fantasy or not, I have a hard time accepting that the government of ANY city would allow a corporation to build on top of the city's ENTIRE historical district. The Alaskan Way Viaduct runs just over the bottom edge of the pyramid and I-90 runs right into the parking garage right at the SE corner of the building. Personally, I have moved Renraku down the shore, over a few cargo terminals. Not that many of these buildings could not be relocated (the fire station headquarters for instance) but what about the historical areas? Pier 51 (Yesler's Wharf) was the site of Seattle's first steam-powered sawmill. Renraku comes in and takes over an area that takes over what is a historic train station, the fire station headquarters, the Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park, The Pioneer Square Historical District (Some of the oldest buildings in the city and the main entrance into the Seattle Underground tours.), Pioneer Square Theater, The King County court building, The Public Safety building, the County Admin building, the Seattle Trust building, the Federal Office Building, the Maritime Building, the Washington State Ferry Center, Piers 48 through 55 INCLUDING both ferry terminals and other historical sites. Looking at the old Seattle Sourcebook maps and it places the pyramid a little to the south of the park. Do you as a GM use the Canon names or the Real names?Ĭapitol Hill is still nice? Aztlan built a pyramid on one of Seattle's most popular PARKS!!! Well, hmmm. I was referring to what you use in game, not what was in print.
