One of my biggest gripes about Shadowrun is the lack of representative artwork. In fact, this is my ONLY gripe about Shadowrun. In a cyberpunk genre (at least by inspiration) style is almost as important as having the best gear. But how can you style up if you don't know what an Ares Predator II looks like, or what your character will look like in that leather duster by that specific company (I can't remember any names from Cannon Companion)?
There is the one thing I think Cyberpunk 2020 has up on Shadowrun; the style books. This would be an excellent concept for Shadowrun. Now I know that artwork in books is expensive (blah, blah, blah) but I would be more than willing to shell out a few extra bucks for some more artwork. To me, this is just as effective as having a character portrait. Now I do seem to remember a Second book that my buddy had and I remember that it had pictures of guns, vehicles and other toys. Is my memory correct? Can anyone tell me some other books (old or new editions) that show a good spread of equipment pictures? I'm looking for guns, vehicles, cyberware, and anything else that you could buy in New Seattle. It just helps my players and myself if we can browse by looks as well as stats. On a similar note, there are a few pictures of guns in the current edition of the Cannon Companion. Can anyone tell me which weapon these pictures represent? There seems to be on picture for each grouping (light pistols, heavy pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, etc.). Are there any good representations in other, more scene oriented, artwork that stands out? For instance, is that troll on the cover carrying a specific weapon, or is it just a generic gun? Thanks in advance for any help!! Kiwi |
