Okay, a fun game we can all play. It's simple, all you have to do is steal an item from some other source that you would never actually consider putting into Shadowrun but the idea of it makes you chuckle.
the only rules are: 1. You cannot make the item up yourself, you must 'steal' it from movies, video games, fiction, etc. 2. You have to state the source, so we all know you didn't just make it up. Let's see how long this list can get. :D I'll go first. Boss's Bandana (Metal Gear Solid, Video Game)) Effect- Runners never run out of ammo while it's worn. Bourne's Identity (The Bourne Identity, Movie) Effect- While in possession of Bourne's Identity you kick ass. All Active Combat Skills are raised to 7 but you gain the permanent flaw 'Amnesia' and 'Hunted'. Not that it matters, you'll win. Every time. Kyoto Kid's Keyboard (Dumpshock, Forum) Effect- You gain Matrix Ettiquette 7 and and a great Street Cred boost but will not be able to go through any conversation without name dropping one or more of your alter egos. (I know, the last one breaks the rules, but I couldn't help it.) |

There are a number of things from a number of sources. None make me chuckle, however. They're just lame. As an example, take the "Nowhere Man" tv show from the mid 90's. An all-powerful, far reaching conspiracy can steal a man's entire life in LITERALY five minutes, even going so far as to change the locks on his house, replace his dog, and wipe all memory of him from all his closest associates. They can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want. But they can't get a damn photo negative. Bleh.

The Case (Ronin, Movie)
Effect- so long as the case remains unopened your character has all Active Social Skills at a 7 (especially Con), can drive any car with all the bonuses of a HotSim VR rigger and gains the Knowledge Skill "Everything there is to know about espionage except what color is the boat house at Hereford". If the case is ever opened, the game world implodes. Generate new game world. |

OK, let me try:
Chow Yun Fat's Beretta (Hard Boiled, A better Tomorrow, The Replacement Killers...) Light Pistol, 5P, Semiautomatic, Ammo: 15(clip) Refills it's clip every combat turn only to be miraculously empty when your archvillain's gun is empty too. The Rock of Shame (The Simpsons) Yeah, if you thought dragging this naked through Springfield was hard, just imagine dragging this naked through the Redmond Barrens... |

Sword of Legion(VtM) : Sword inhabited by the demon Legion Jesus faced down in the bible, for every person killed by the sword, the legion gains a member and the swords power increases.
Effectively a weapon focus that gains another force rating every person you kill with it. Beam Sword(Halo 2) : Automatically fills half a persons physical damage track in one swing. If instead the attacker is charging, then it fills the full physical track instead. Pistol(Halo) : No penalty for called shots, 3-5 shots in the head and neck area kill everyone regardless of armor.

Rincewinds luggage. ( Diskworld. Books by Terry Practchett)
its a 32 legged walking sea chest that is the portal to the dimension of stored space. I has been known to swallow people and store them forever. It does sometimes wander off, but has the uncanny ability to be there right when you need i, but never exactly when you want it. |

My turn to be retarded: The Elder Wand (a.k.a the Deathstick, the Wand of Destiny) from the final Harry Potter. You no longer use the Shadowrun rules of magic, there is no more drain and spells cannot be resisted by the opponents. But you must remember the stupid incantation words or you can't cast spells...

An obvious one:
Guitar Case (El Mariachi) Pro's: The Character gains the Ambidextrous positve quality, as well as the Firearms Group at 7, Dodge at 7, Artisan (Guitar) at 6 and a mundane version of the Enthralling Performance adept power at a ridiculously high level. And guns. Tons of guns. At the Gamemaster's discretion, the character may also summon the help of a washed out teenage heartthrob latin-pop has-been and a nondescript "wacky" sidekick. Who also bring guns. Tons of guns. Con's: Random druglords, scheming generals and badass thugs will hunt the character at the most inappropriate times. Basically, that means anytime. Also, eventually, said villains will murder his or her wife/husband. Probably with guns. |

Boomstick: Grants +3 Damage vs. zombies (Shedim) and negates Called Shot penalties (head shot only, Shedim only.)
Chainsaw-hand: A chainsaw is attatched to the character's wrist instead of the hand. Never ending supply of gasoline (possibly due to the spirit power of Wealth.) Actually not that OP, so I guess I don't win any prizes. |
