Maybe Fanpro will do something similiar for Shadowrun?
It would be nice if I can do something useful for other fans of my favorite RPG

what exactly is a handout? are they like newsletters with plot ideas and stuff or are they actual books for playing?

'cuz FP's definitly already providing PDF versions of the books...what else do they have that they could turn into PDF?

Handouts are 'in-game' items, like a facility map printout, text messages, ID cards, newsfax clippings ect. that help in the game's story. Several of the old FASA modules & the SR Missions files on the 'official' site have them. Look for "Player Handouts" in the back of the scenario. Fortunately, they give clearance to photocopy the page/item so you can have it ready.
The Sector Passcards seen in the Denver boxed set are considered 'handouts'.

Shadowrunners don't want handouts... they want a hand-up!

Don't you mean a handgun?

How about a left-handed monkeywrench?

This is getting out of hand.
