Seattle

    Seattle was an early adopter of the shadowrunning trend. It may be due to the city's unique status as an isolated port, simultaneously surrounded by enemies and serving as a major international gateway. Or it may be due to the ecclectic mix of corporate interests crammed together in a small region, enticing them all to poke and prod at their competitors. Or it may have something to do with the massive gap between rich and poor, particularly the sprawl's widespread urban ghettoes, large SINless population, and the simple economics that make street crime a way of life for so many. More likely, it's the combination of these factors all in one area, creating the perfect blend of high-tech and low-life that draws shady corporate, political, and criminal interests together.

The Eye may be "big time," but veteran shadowrunners wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot troll. It's a cleche. All that "see and be seen" shit is bogus - when you're a real runner (not some wannabe with too much cred, too much luck, and too much ego) you DON'T want to be seen. Anybody who goes here (runners or Johnsons) is just trying to impress somebody. Beware.

Aces is the name (no apostrophe), but the regulars call it "The Scumpit." If you go inside (and I don't advise it - this is not the sort of place you wander into for a few drinks or an evening's diversion), you'll see why. The food's lousy, the paint is peeling, half the windows are boarded up, most of the liquor's watered down, and the music is so loud you feel your brains bleeding out your ears after just a few minutes - but that's the way its customers like it. A word of advice: DO NOT go to the Scumpit if you can't handle yourself in a fight, because the regulars are predators and they can smell fresh meat a kilometer away. It's a favorite haunt of the Crimson Crush gang and low-caliber shadowrunners with chips on their soulders, not to mention big, antisocial orks and trolls. The favorite pastimes are good old-fashioned pool shooting, gambling (including good old-fashioned leg breaking if they catch you cheating), and barroom brawls. I'm not saying don't go here - I''m just saying that you were warned.

For a particular type of runner (and by this I mean the type who tends toward violent jobs) this place is as good as a hiring hall. Even the Johnsons are tough - they have to be, or they'd get eaten alive.

Yeah, a great place - if getting raped in the bathroom or having your head caved in for your cheap commlink are your idea of fun.
