There is a Berlin sourcebook called Berlin 2080, but it is a German-only publication from the publisher of the German Shadowrun version. Andreas was heavily involved in its creation and the pages of the City Edition reuse part of the art work, but all the text seems to be newly written for the City Edition Core Rules.
That’s awesome that it’s new text. I knew there were German sourcebooks, but I know the translation probability is low. I was operation on the assumption of an English being sourcebook. Fun content though.
6:36 Catalyst should really stop reuse 2nd ed. arts! Well except anything from Tim Bradstreet. :) What was bad in the past won't get better just because thirty years have been passed. Unfortunatelly it's not like any of the new ones are much better, outside some exception, but hey, at least they are consistent in this area since the first edition. On the otherhand it's great to see some Germany stuff in English after three decades of neglect! Thanks for the detailed presentation and keep up the good work!
My understanding is that it’s errata found since Seattle. But I don’t know how much. But then yes, the Seattle pages are removed and Berlin pages added. I’ll be doing a live stream with Mr Johnson tonight talking Shadowrun, you should come ask directly!
As long as I understood if you've Seattle edition, apart from the city add-on, the rules had not been reorganised or changed in any way but just corrected and clarified.
ruclips.net/video/9UPAsmFDdWs/видео.html Not offended by butchering my name :) It's bound to happen. Andreas (Andrew) is fine, AAS is just an abbreviation for my full name (Andreas Alexander Schroth), and "Schroth" is, well ... let's just say that German "SCH" is US "SH" and that German "TH" is US "T", plus the "O" like in ... "commodore" or "condor", so not "a", but "o" wit a round mouth, so my last name would be pronounced like "shrot" - with the "o" being a long "o" with a round mouth :) It's hard, I know.
I made a guess that it would be more like “Never bargain with a dragon”, but that’s what we get for using local idioms! 🤣 I’ll remember it for next time though.
It doesn't revamp the rules. It includes any errata since the Seattle City Edition and then replaces Seattle with Berlin as bonus content beyond the original core rule book. So ANY book released for Sixth Edition, plus the Neo-Anarchists Streetpedia and No Future (both of which technically released during 5E, but are still usable with 6E) is still compatible. The easy way to tell is the art. If the art looks similar with lots of purple and pink, that's most likely what you want. And you're also welcome to ask. I'll be doing more Shadowrun reviews in the new year.
I feel bad for english speakers, well glad that im german and Pegasus games has the rights for our rulebooks, 10bucks for the 2024 errated edition paperback rulebook, im kinda curious how little berlin is in that book? 🤔 Still need to buy berlin 2080, Pegasus games should get international marketing rights, we have so much extra content and a wiki thats supported by the publisher and also alot fanstuff thats get supported. Oh and there is a german starter pack with quickrules as pdf completly for free.
So the Pegasus license is a sub-license from Catalyst. I've literally spoken to people at Catalyst and while they are interested in bringing some of the German and French stuff over, they say the cost for translation is too high to make it worth it. I wonder if that cost could be lower with AI tools and such, but I also wonder if they really have a desire to. As for Berlin, there's about 20 pages of material for it. It was done WAY better than the Seattle content which all ended up in Emerald City. And my understanding is that there's no plans for a Berlin book in the US so I think it's pretty decent.
@@GamingWithADHD kinda a sub licensed ye, the German Games Publisher Pegasus Games has the publishing rights for germany AS far AS i know, Most of the translated books have additional content and the exclusive books are kinda categoriced, there are books for Beginners Till advanced Players, Like adventure books that Help to understand how to Play and even sourcebooks for npc and world building Im Not allowed to Post a Website Here i think but you can Google shadowrun6 You probably will find the Website, There u find stuff Like Fan adventures and fiction and Other stuff oh and kinda the library of all 6th edition published books in German, ye using a Translation Tool i would say is a good Idea there
For those coming later, the link to the German products is: shadowrun6.de/ I gave it a once over and there looks to be some really good stuff. I'm even more annoyed that it hasn't been translated "officially" yet...
Thanks for this update on the Berlin city book edition.
Thank you for watching!

How much 'updated' FAQ info since the Seattle edition or is it the same as Seattle with Berlin pages?
My understanding is that it’s errata found since Seattle. But I don’t know how much. But then yes, the Seattle pages are removed and Berlin pages added. I’ll be doing a live stream with Mr Johnson tonight talking Shadowrun, you should come ask directly!

"Never deal with a dragon" is more like "Never make a DEAL with a dragon". It's not about haggling (feilschen).

If city book Berlin revamps the rules, which books work seamlessly with this update?

I do love rat bikes!
But I’m willing to grab a cyclone or cocotaxi
Lots of fun options that give the Berlin Edition some local flavor. Thanks for watching!
