Well, at least, that's the notion. I'll be inviting my players to contribute as they like to it, add further to the mythos and the conceptualization of Fourth World Echoes.
I've been asked a few times now what my direct inspirations are for everything under the sun, so I'll just bluntly say all of modernity in terms of pop culture and science fiction bleeds together to give me ideas as of late to the zany NPCs and the bastards y'all have met. Crossing two to five things together to give rise to a new concept is what I absolutely adore to do, and Shadowrun is the place that I've really felt a deep connection to such a crossing.
Oh, and then there's fantasy, too.
The joy of the Sixth World is that it can be one part Tolkien, one heavy part Cyberpunk, and one part dystopian science fiction. All of our characters are a product of the three being twisted together in a bizarre triple-strand staircase. The NPCs are intended to directly reflect this, particularly the Mr. Johnsons.
That's why the next post will be directly about them, with headshots and brief public information!
