could be. could be just a copout so that they don't have to admit they don't have an answer, but that they might theoretically eventually have one and if they do they'll put it in a sourcebook. no real way to tell. (on a side note, there are several answers like that)

Damn, i thought at least you would know something.^^ Thanks for the reply, we will see...maybe there are some SR-dices in the toolbox? That would be great.^^

It will have the following:
* A new GM screen;
* Some heavy cardstock cheat sheets providing the steps for common processes such as melee combat, spellcasting, conjuring, etc.;
* Full-color, heavy-cardstock maps for some basic sprawl sites;
* The Big Book of Tables--a compiled listing of the gear tables from every core book;
* CASS--Contacts, Adventure seeds, and Sprawl Sites: A booklet the provides the items mentioned in its title;
* A revised version of On the Run;
* PACKS--Pre-generated Auxiliary Character Kit System. A booklet containing attribute, skills, gear, etc. kits that allow for quick combination for easy creation of PCs and NPCs.
* Anatomy of a Shadowrun: a booklet that provides a fictional account of a run in one column, and the game information, such as tests used, that shows how to play out that story.

All in a lovely box!

That question also came up on the thread I linked. Short answer is "no." Long answer is still "no."

I beleive the stuff written by a friendly member on DS was released for free, the version that Catalyst still plan to release is a re-write, and I beleive extremely similiar, which is obvious seeing as it cant be really radically different seeing what it is.
