Ok, sounds good. Its an addtition to the book, not a chapter in Street Magic?

Yeas it's a pdf containing stuff that didn't fit into Street Magic.

Our group is working on shotgun capsule rounds filled with foam explosive. 3 foam rounds followed by a stick and shock round.....should go BOOM!

You should be warned there's a cost to this. For a mundane to use a magical weapon pretty much entails artifact possession type effects which modify his normal behaviour. (which is quite fitting IMO).

Because I'm curious...Splash grenades can be filled with various substances, including Freeze Foam. Since the consistency of Freeze Foam and Foam Explosive are bound to be similar in a liquid state, would people be adverse to allowing it to be distributed in a similar manner? How would you rule the DV since it'd be difficult to evenly distribute the foam or ascertain how much was on any specific target?

(Note: The example reminded me of a very early SR4 game at a GenCon SoCal where I played a combat mage. Our street sam had nearly killed the team by critically glitching on a grenade toss--later in the mission he had applied some foam explosive to a door and said he just needed a dose of electricity to ignite it. With him standing less than a meter from the foam, I tossed a lightning bolt. BOOM.)

...Most of my hombrewed stuff has been vehicles and aircraft. I just liked a bit more variety and a few more familiar names (like the Mini).

For guns, I usually consult Rayguns excellent work, however I did spec out the Soviet OTS-38, (one of only two silenced revolvers ever made in RL) and an experimental sniper rifle (actually mini MPL) with a "smart" projectile (inspired by a programme I saw on the telly).

I also worked up an extension of the Synaptic accelerator that aided in vehicular operation (2nd ed). Didn't grant a Contol Pool or remote operation like a true VCR did, but did allow for extra initiative dice in combat situations and was more essence freindly.

As part of the above I included what could be considered a "prototype" of the "skinlink".

For one campaign that involved off world operations (pre-Target Wastelands), I wrote up a modular space suit system (with armour options) , EVA Gear, (such as MMUs, thruster packs, and orbital sleds) and my Neo Anarchist's Guide to Real Space (all 2nd ed)

OT: OK, why am I seeing links appear in my posts? Is this some new "feature" (bug) of Internet Explorer? One more reason to loathe IE besides it having no realtime spellcheck like FF does.

what kind of links? O.o
One of the Things my group came up with was the reasonable thought that VCR's can be built into cyber replacement limbs and only take up essence for the needed DNI . .

That sounds like a great idea if you need to apply explosives somewhere (like the other side of a brick wall with a small window in it) that you couldn't reach yourself, but in combat, wouldn't shooting someone 4 times with ex-ex slugs usually work out just as well?

[Stahlseele]

Usually,shooting someone 3 times with a shotgun is enough, no matter what ^^
