Actually, the Mayan calendar stated that 2012 is the start of a new epoch under their date system, it never said anything about the world ending. The claim that they predicted the world ending was based on nothing but "indigenous mysticism" by white people and Hollywood.

The end of The Fifth Age and the beginning of the Sixth Age, the reawakening of the great dragons, and the start of goblinization, and the return of magic to the world.

You know, basic Shadowrun lore XD

Still waiting for the magic, not sure if I want a deck port in my brain given how many add I see on my phone.

Given how the Mayans are usually portrayed as an ancient, vanished people, I was surprised to find out that if you want to know about Mayan beliefs you can just ask them. They're the guys stood outside the archeological sites selling t-shirts.
