What Shadowrun Sourcebooks would you like to see next after "Street Magic"?
Personally I'd like to see a Cannon Companion Type Sourcebook, with more expanded rules for Martial Combat, ect. and more equipment. Please discuss. |

If I were doing a shake up of announced release order I would put Unwired even ahead of street magic. In my opinion the "new" matrix is the most exciting and least explained aspect of the 4th edition. After that I go with Street Magic and then Arsenal. Putting a marketing hat on I might be inclined to get another fluff book out for the 3rd quarter and hold the Crunch books for simultaneous release in the 4th quarter possibly BBB + Expanded Rules Book promotional bundle or an Unwired, Arsenal, Street Magic bundle for the holiday shopping season.

Well, since I love to hate them so much, I want a new Corporate Download.
This time it'd be fun to also have a chapter for the lesser megas with short entries of two or three paragraph each. |

Hah! Having a great pile of PDF's so far, I would quite probably go for a Street Magic / Aresenal / Augmented / Unwired bundle. Nice idea. It would definitely have to come with some fancy packaging or free nerps or something, though. :) |

actually, I'm probably gonna be a freak, and use my massive amount of SR3 books, as well as just making stuff up, and just keep it to 1 book. I did the 'gotta buy 'em all!' last edition. Fluff books are tempting tthough. though if I chose, unwired by far. yikes the new matrix can be a little confusing, though I love it so. [though gonna rewrite my rules to become stat+skill based, so it matches the rest of the game's rules.]

I am confused, those books aren't sourcebooks. I'd agree I would love unwired to be next, but the Fanpro roadmap suggests different. |

I agree with you on UnWired, even though I love magic more than anything.

For the record FanPro's current schedule already includes (in order):
Street Magic (magic) Arsenal (gear & tech) Emergence (campaign) Augmentation (enhancements) Corp Enclaves (locations) Unwired (Matrix and rigging) Further down the line the plans call for (in no particular order): Feral Cities (locations) Running Wild (critters) Awakened Haunts (locations) new "Corp Download" (corps) |

What will Corp Enclaves, Feral Cities and Awakened Haunts be about, if I may ask?

For even more fun let's try to guess the featured locations before someone leaks them. Corp Enclaves: I'm betting Manhattan, Tokyo, maybe London or Berlin Feral Cities: Chicago, Rio/Metropol, after that hard to say. Awakened Haunts: Angkor, New Orleans, Stonehenge (may not all be cities after all) |

SR dicebag! my favorite!
Yikes, real shame to see Unwired so far away. that looks like ~18 months or more if I had to take a stab in the dark. I thought SR4 was going to bring tech manipulation characters as much attention as gunbunnies and mages. |

That assumes that they even know what cities are planned for Corp Enclaves, let alone the others. |

As both the player of a TM and a native Chicagoan, I'm torn between Unwired and Feral Cities (assuming the latter does discuss Chicago, of course).

There is an adventure/plotline book coming up a lot sooner revolving around Technomancers, for whatever that is worth to you. Apparently On The Run also gave some examples of how to handle the Matrix. But I haven't read that yet, to avoid spoiling incase I play it before I run it, so I don't know how extensive that is. But yeah, it looks like Matrix centric PCs are still largely relagated to the back of the bus. :( |

Frankly from a rules point of view and such I'd like Unwired sooner than later.
But really, I just love new weapons, gear, cyberware etc., so I'm definitely looking forward to Arsenal and Augmentation more :grinbig: |
