To get the ball rolling I'd like to see more Japanese racism.
It's prevalent to a degree in real life (Gaijin and foreigners not being welcome in many Japanese establishments), it's laid out in the old sourcebooks at least. And they don't just dislike anyone not Japanese, but in SR they were pretty vicious to metahumans (especially the ugly ones naturally). I think they had a name for them too, I forget what it was. Ah! Kawaru Anyway I should work that up in my own game and I'd like to see it back in the books. |

I'd like to see deep distrust and prejudice against anyone not taking part of the AR world at all times.

The increased importance of cyberware over equipment.

I'd like to see nano tech leading to a radical price drop on 'ware. I'd also like to see it played up that everyone feel that a (meta)-human population is becoming less and less useful to the elites and people have to cyber up to get a 2-bit job.
oh and screw Big D' I wants me some horrors |

development of the world, the culture and lifestyles. that's what I love about the early books, which gave you a sense you were in a living world, not just a place for runs and rule books. I miss that. It's why the original Seattle SB is still on my main book shelf in my home office where I can reach it and the later books about Seattle are in the main library.

The return of the full color four plate inserts in larger sourcebooks. Check out the Seattle, London and Germany sourcebooks. They were filled with mock ads that used real photography, props, costumes and models for dance clubs, news media, shopping malls, the Universal Brotherhood and more. My favorite was the domestic house staff ad from the London book that had a photo ad of an elf maid and an ork butler. It's a bit cheeky but it's fun and it gives a slice of real world flavor to a fictional universe. Just get a bunch of cosplay geeks and you've got yourself free models.

The story of...
1. ...Lugh Surehand being deposed. 2. ...how Saito was expelled from the CFS. 3. ...the plot to kill Haefner. 4. ...what happened to Nadia Daviar. 5. ...the activities of the DF and Assets, Inc., during the events surrounding the Second Crash. They seemed conspicuously absent. 6. ...who the secret winner of the Probe Race was, and what information they discovered. 7. ...the ultimate fate of Captain Chaos and Alice. Last, but not least...Threats 3! |

Heck, I'd like to see more in the old sneaky and smart and less of the HULK SMASH mentality. Bigger isn't always better, though it helps. =)

QUOTE (Snow_Fox @ Sep 1 2008, 09:13 PM) EXACTLY!!!! Agree. I miss the old school cool of the London book. I used to take that stupid thing to lunch with me as a kid. I want my players to be feel that runners are the coolest mofo's in the gaming world. not because they are powerful, but because at the end of the day Shadowrunning is just plane cooler than any other fantasy profession. I like to think as shadowrunners as being somewhere between jason bourne and ocean's 11. |

You don't want to look like you're using it. The 1st ed. books were able to get away with photos by using good lighting, props and costuming. The cybereyes looked a little cheesy (as did the ork makeup) but that was part of the charm. I'm sure there are excellent creature makeup artists out there who could do some models up, proper like. |

I can't speak for the Germany sourcebook since its been so long since I read it that I can't remember what they were like but the London pictures were shite. Seriously, they were bad. How FASA had the nerve to put them in I will never know. |
