On page 210 of the Atlas Games core book for "Feng Shui" (ATG 4000) it mentions a book they intend to release called "Blowing Up Hong Kong". Does anybody know of this book or know the fate of this book? I've seen Atlas product codes 4000 thru 4009 and none of them bear this name on their covers. Anyone know of "Blowing Up Hong Kong"?

It's dead and gone. If I recall correctly, there were actually several "Blowing Up..." titles in the planning or discussion stages when Daedalus was printing the game. When Daedalus crashed, those ideas were obviously scrapped.

Since the Atlas version of the core rulebook was just a reprinting of the original Daedalus version, the reference was probably still there in the text. As far as I know, Atlas has never indicated that they had any interest in reviving the idea, however, and I don't know that they'd have the rights to any of the titles or material anyway.

If I'm not mistaken, the books were sort of a Feng Shui version of the WW city guides. Just with more C-4.

Much more.

I really wish they would do a Hong Kong book, especially since it seems to be the single most important place in the Feng Shui continuum. They could include all sorts of GMCs, feng shui sites, plot seeds, etc.

Agreed. Hong Kong is totally the hub of the game. They've got a book for the Netherworld, so I'm actually a little suprised that there's no Hong Kong book.
