Plenty of great suggestions on this thread. Looking forward to Feral cities, Ghost Cartels and Runner's companion. Hope to see some information on these upcoming books on the official homepage soon, as promised awhile ago by Adam (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Beyond that it will be very interesting to see what will come out next year, I'm still hoping for some proper focus on Amazonia and The Caribbean League, but there has been plenty of good suggestion on this thread that sound great, especially an updated Shadowbeat. |

QUOTE (Cheops @ May 3 2008, 05:42 PM)  Cities of Legacy A mixture of Archaeology of the 6th World mixed with T:AL formatted along the same lines as the other city books. That would be Awakened Haunts, which is somewhere on the release schedule. Somewhere meaning after Feral Cities but before Centers of Intrigue |

I would like to see a book entitled "The Fluff Handbook" that would be fulled with random names, places, and products of the 6th world. I have some stuff I would gladly send in and the only thing I would want in return is a thank you . (and maybe my name in the credits). Hez, there's enough talent here on the boards to write it all. Our esteemed and illustrious Developers would just have to arrange, edit and typeset it and they would have a ready to publish book for practically nothing!.

QUOTE (FrankTrollman @ May 3 2008, 11:11 AM) The focus of Running Wild was originally to be basically the Savage Species of Shadowrun. But with all the extra goodies being shifted into Runner's Companion, it seems that the focus of Running Wild is moving back to a Paranormal Animals book, though I would bet actual money that you'll see some tie ins with Augmentation. Feral Cities is a location book based on lawless hellholes. Chicago receives top billing. Cities of Intrigue is a location book based on espionage. London is highly expected by most. Strange Places is a location book based on far out stuff. Probable inclusions would be one of the space stations, one of the undersea bases, and one of the metaplanar staging areas. Other contenders include the Antarctic City dig, Lhasa, and Alice Springs. War Zones is a proposed book which is a combination location book and Fields of Fire update for SR4. Balkans, Central Africa, Central America, and Southeast Asia are obvious chapter headers. The Monofilament Edge is a proposed book which is a combination of Awakenings and Shadowtech for SR4. Like a SotA book, but crunchier and crazier. Like Lugosi and Karloff crazier. Destroying News is a proposed book which is a combination of Shadowbeat and Neo Anarchists Guide to Real Life. Meme warfare from street level up to nation building. Kind of a Horizon plot-book too I think. No idea if the last ones are going forward, but I hope so. -Frank War Zones, The Monofilament Edge and Killing News. These would be great additions to the line up, definetly run out and buy the first day kinda books. |

QUOTE (DocTaotsu @ May 3 2008, 07:17 PM) I think i just never got over the archetype art being so very not good. *sigh* I guess i'll have to bum around for a 1st ed book, just to round out my collection. The art in SR1 was the best shadowrun art ever!! Just as SR1(or as we purists prefer to call it"the only 1" ) is the best version of shadowrun ever. All other versions are to be considered Heresy and are to be ridiculed , derided and crushed beneath the feet of the true doctrine of SR the only one! To borrow a quote from one of our most famous members,President George Bush," you're either with us or you're...umm....ah...not with us." Long live Sr the only one!

I hope CGL does well enough that they can start looking at some putting out some merch. I would be totally down to buy some SR t-shirts. Hell, if they'd put out a shirt that had a small DocWagon logo on the front and "HTR" printed across the back, I'd buy enough for my whole table (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Shadowrun Corporate T-Shirts and Baseball Caps would ROCK!
Be perfect for getting into character! Or, perhaps, for some of the teams. I'd love a "Seattle Seadogs" T-Shirt! |

Nah, if we want to stay true to Shadowruns Japanacorps roots.
Corporate lapel pins. What I'd give to throw an Ares or Renraku pin on a nice suit, if only for the confusion factor. |

Pins are a bit more pricey to do than T-Shirts, hense the suggestion.

The books I've always loved the most are the ones that are mre about the world in which people live, the little stuff like clothes and neighborhoods and the thingsthat exist outside the shadows. My favoirte such books are : Neoarnarchists Guide to Real Life, Shadowbeat and the SOTA's.

We'll be doing some more t-shirts this year, for sure; and probably reprinting the Saeder-Krupp shirt that we sold out of at Gen Con last year.

why isn't there a webshop or something like that in which people who don't own means of electronic payment can buy things in? <.< . .
not everybody in germany has a credit card or something like that . . and even if it were a little bit more costly, make it so one can combine shirts of different sizes/styles and colours with pictures/logos from the SR World . . you want a white long-sleeve with the Renraku Symbol on the back? okay, here you go . . you want a black one with the Saeder-Krupp Logo on the Front? delivery will take some days . . |

We don't have the resources/volume to do "print on demand" shirts like that without outsourcing it to companies with dodgy quality levels, and the profit margin on t-shirts is pretty slim as it is.
I've thrown around some ideas inside the company to make the t-shirt production process better, and I hope it gets rolled out later this year. However, unless we can make a great licensing deal with someone [and we're always open to that sort of opportunity], shirts and merch are going to be treated as they are: low profit items that have a fair amount of 'demand', with sales figures not near as high as the demand would seem to indicate, except at conventions. |

Honestly, I should hunt up some Johnsons here. Or write up how the Winnipeg Shadows works, and beg for a T-Shirt in exchange for it. |

Maybe it's different in the US from the rest of the world, but here, any bank (and most convenience stores) will be more than happy to sell you a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard "gift card." Yes, there's a processing fee, but if you're looking for a way to spend money on the web, and you don't have a credit card, this seems like an awfully straightforward solution. |

Is it allowed to pick your favorite SR picture/log combo, and print your own shirt for private use (i.e. not selling it)?
