I would love to see a new NGR book that actually fleshed out the country and culture a bit. Some new tech would be great. I would like to see the logical progression of things. Designs carring forcefields and their more advanced pulse lasers. Things like that.

As far as the CS/NGR war, we all forget that Triax built self frying circuits into all of the CS hardware they helped to design. Oh wait, that was just in my head.

NGR 2 (or II) would be very welcome in my games. This is especially true if it includes the following;
1) More social/society details like who is and who isn't allowed to hold certain positions, or enter the cities....ala CS War book.
2) An update on the conflict with the Gargoyle and Brodkil Empires; Not new items/gear/mecha or such, just and update as to what has been going on with the fighting. Maps of truely big/important battles would be worth a lot to my group and I.
3) Maps of the locations of cities and forts.
If any two of the above were inside, I would buy two copies; One to save as a collectors piece, and the other for regular use.

Throw in my vote yes.

As much as it smacks of power creep, I do want to see the technical advances the NGR made using the same tech they gave to the CS (plus the better stuff they didn't give)

I've still never really used NGR 1.
I stick to North America and dimension hopping, not globetrotting.

Another vote here. The NGR book is long overdue for an update.

Palladium can't be given a free pass for criticism because people have a lot of emotion invested in it.

Well, another NGR book would be nice, aslong as it didn't have a couple dozen new NPCs. A few people of note is cool, but I'd hate to see an SoT style, NPC-fest for a new NGR book. I'd love to see a city (or three) mapped and described. Maybe even show us an example of what life is like in a typical post apocolyptic German town. That would rock!

I think what might be a cool idea, that may make everyone happy would be a series on various cities. Call them City Books (i guess). But each one would map, describe, and detail a large medium, and maybe 3 or 4 small cities from various parts of the world. You could have one City book discribe a city from North America, then swing it's focus to eroupe and describe a city within the NGR. From there it could show us what a small Splugorthian outpost is like...etc...

Having a series of books like this might eliminate the need for more "World Books" that will only give us more OCCs, NPCs and weapons and Power Armor that we don't need...

I'd love to see how the NGR/Gargoyle Empire War is going and what new twists and turns have developed. Heck, the current time setting is 109 PA, six years past the Book 5's original 103 PA. A lot must have happened in that time.

Here's another vote in favor of NGR2. That said; I'd like to see CS Chi-Town first.
There's a reason...and a very good one...that I have certain people in this forum blocked both here and on Facebook.

I can see an illustration of that nearly every time I come here.

Aftermath covered some of that, though...

NGR 2 would need to be more than an update. it would also need to be more than Weapons, armor, and NPCs. That's why I suggested the whole "City Book" thing...

I'm on the fence on this one: I would like to see more detail to Europe on the whole, and Germany in particular. But, I don't think we need another catalog of hi-tech guns and toys.
I could do without giving any other supernatural races power armour (do Gargoyles really need power armour?), and I would rather not see 50 new OCCs and RCCs.
I would like to see more wilderness, and less human population: more maps would be nice.
I would like to see the material from the discontinued Mindwerks (Sourcebook 3) incorporated.

They should have more on NGR in terms of : Not to many O.C.C.s but more on foreign relations and campains. More NPCs, Equipment, and stuff.

I'd much rather an NGR2 then an update with 16 new pages.

I think they should do something like the coalition books. Like a bunch of sourcebooks.(Like 4 or 5: 128 page books)

I hope you aren't referring to Coalition War Campaign: SoT.
I want sourcebooks, not storybooks.

Agreed. Although I liked SoT, they are in need of a Worldbook for Europe--- not a Meta-plot...

Well I meant the length of the books not the actual material in the books.
