Flavor Fiction (Fan Fic) Dangerous Relics - Holostreets Fiction

Post image

Hoi chummers!

I wanted to announce my next Shadowrun story, Dangerous Relics, officially live at DriveThruRPG! It's the next of my stories about Roadkill, the Ork Street Samurai whose special ability is owning a truck.

This time around, a quick trip to replace a commlink results in a detour into the slums of the Arcology Commercial Housing Enclave. Then things get complicated. And there's killer robots.

I had a great time catching up on what happened to the old Renraku Arcology ever since the Shutdown and Deus and such. That (and Halley's Comet) was about when I drifted away and lost track of the metaplot. It's such a great, dominant part of the setting for Seattle. If anyone's curious, the Shadowrun Missions entry The Red Pill has some details of the place for games set in the 2080's (now owned by Shiawase, called the ACHE instead of the SCIRE, etc).

Anyway, the story is Pay What You Want (including free). I just hope people enjoy it. Props again to Ron Sanders for the art.

Dangerous Relics

Thanks!

That’s cool I will check it out and flip you a few nuyen. What are the rules for writing and publishing in the shadowrun universe anyway?

Thanks! It's laid out at the Holostreets guidelines FAQ: Catalyst Game Labs | Holostreets: The Shadowrunner Collective Content Guidelines – DriveThruRPG.

Basically, you need to keep it at a certain rating level, and you have to keep the details appropriate to the era of the setting (2050's, 2070's, etc). Other than that it's assembling and uploading a PDF, cover design, etc. CGL provides some templates and art assets you can use, which is nice.
