If that happens, it'd be a dedicated E-book. The demand's just not there and the potential for abuse is *huge*. So, it'd be pretty far down on the list.

That said, I have a few ideas that I'll be pitching upstairs after Xmas.

I promise, if you build it, we will buy it.

Well, too be fair, I can't really speak for everyone else. But I can promise I will buy it, and it will definitely help push my group into repeated Shadowrun campaigns over the next few years.

There aren't a lot of game systems that provide that level of customization. Most avoid it, because its dangerous both for balance within the current game and for later content. However, it is also really, really helpful to GMs with an interest in unusual campaigns, and as a result really helps replayability. It means I can use the system to run "Shadowrun", "Street-level Shadowrun", "Shadowrun: Desert Wars", "Shadowrun: Space Age", "ShadowMechRun", "Shadowrun: COPS", "Shadowrun: MARS", "ShadowStarcraft", "ShadowTerminator", *and* plenty of other silly but fun options.

Heck, if you make this, I'll buy it twice.

I need to see if the guys upstairs want to run an official contest. Like, "Show us your Americar!" or something, to see how people mod 'em up. Not to say that other vehicles aren't worthy, but if everyone used the same, it'd give some interesting takes on things... some people are gonna want tanks, some want zports cars, some want sneaky blend-in types, while others don't care so long as they can jump over Snake RIver while firing off explosive arrows. (Yeeeee haw!)

Start with one of the panel vans. See what comes of that. Drone launcher, hide in place, tank, pure transport. Any team will, sooner to later, use a van during a run.

I agree.  Stepfan is the way to go

You know, I was just having this mental conversation with a sports car for a Future Product. Toss in 'garage' and a few Jackpointers and it just got all smutty and covered in grease.

But that's for down the road!

For now?

It's commin' up, it's commin' up, it's commin' up...

Is that a Spitfire drone?  Because you know a squadron of mini Spitfire drones would be totally awesome.   8)

Or to keep with the season a squadron of mini X-Wing drones!  Just make sure that one has the call sign Red 5.

Okay, got it (badly) uploaded. Here was my three-minute sktech-pitch for Rigger 5. I can't *imagine* why they went with Echo instead of me. :D



Hot roddin' Rigger behind the wheel, paniced person in the passenger seat, police chase with one car being shot up by a pop-up turret, another hitting an oil slick and crashing, police truck, a chopper, a police helicopter with door gunner, news copter, lots of flying drones, a drone dog, a rich gal shopping and getting the "Lois Lane" effect from the cars going past so quickly, a drone 'butler' holding all of her shopping while craning around to see the action... it's got everything!

As drawn by, you know ... a kindergardener.

But hey!

Harumph.

Harumph I sez!

Even if you're not in the market for a boat like that, having the stats would be handy for a variety of kidnapping jobs.
A boat like that, you ought to get a map, not stats.


Who am I kidding? It's Shadowrun. Of course you need stats.

Just make sure it's not a Q-Boat trying to lure pirates in, only to pop a lot more firepower than you were expecting.  ;)
