Team Ubi is happy to announce that work has begun on the second book in the UbiquiCity series! Set in the same city of ubiquitous computing and featuring many of your favorite characters from book one, the new installment is tentatively scheduled for a Winter release, and will include original fiction by Irene Bassett, Brad Cole, D.M. Dore, Jens Durke, S.L. Koch, Adrian McCauley, and Rick Rosenkranz.
Remember "Thieves World"? It was a game supplement (a superbly detailed city) by Chaosium, based on a line of fiction anthologies set in that city, written by multiple authors and curated/edited by Robert Asprin.
I am thinking of putting together a team of writers/designers to create a future city supplement along those lines (working title: "Ubiquicity"). I was going to do it myself but the future is hard to predict in toto, and I think this can be a much better product if it's multi-valent.
So. The goal of the working group would be to imagine a city of the first world, roughly 100 years in the future, where ubiquitous computing has become commonplace. We would write and publish collections of short stories set in this city, as well as a system-agnostic gaming supplement allowing GMs to use this city in their near-future SF roleplaying games.
