It was something like FASA's or FANPRO's little Toybox or so . .
Basically, some pages with Random little (joke)toys for Riggers in the 3rd System. Stats for a Powered Wheelchair including Tracks-Mod and Bulletproof Canopy, a Howitzer i think, an inflateable boat, a Diesel Locomotive, a Parrot Drone, a Toy-Tank and an honest to god super sonic car. I'm pretty much at the end of my search algorithm. And i can't, for the life of me, find it. Anybody still remember what this file was called or where it can still be gotten? Anybody maybe even still HAVE this file? It was located on the same page as the SR3-Books Errata Files, if i remember correctly. Please, help me find this file of sillyness. MY GM's have been droping hints that there may be a One-Off Shadowrun Evening next Month or so, and i'd like to surprise them a bit. |

It's more for my curiosity, since I don't play SR3 anymore. I wouldn't ask you to commit your time for that. Was it offered in English? Maybe I just need to keep searching.

Does it have a title, or any info on what it was shipped with? That could at least give us a starting point for our own research : )
I would be interested. I can see about using google translate or something on it. |

I got the File:
It's Toybox-Online.pdf "Die streng geheime FanPro-Spielzeugkiste" Author: Jens Ullrich It wasn't shipped with anything. It's a bit of stuff that had been collected by FanPro that they gave away for free as a PDF download when SR3 got killed by SR4 officially . . |

Back in the Day, when Rigger 3 was released Fanpro in Germany startet a fan contest to submit Vehicles and the best vehicles would be released in the German Rigger 3.
This pdf has some of the Stuff that didn't make it in the book. @Fortinbras: A Translation of "SOX" exisists, at least for the Source Material (not the Campaigns), because the Work was a colaboration of Germand and French authors. So the whole source material was written together in English and then translated to French and German. So somewhere in the archives of Pegasus, Black Book and CGL there is a English text Version, but it was never released. cya Tycho |

But where, where pray tell, can I find or buy a copy of this translation? Must I plan an extraction from Jason Hardy's house? |

No, you have to come over here to Germany, because Hardy hat nothing to do with that one at all.

Is anyone with a copy of the Shadowrun Toybox willing to share?
If so please either contact me, and I'll give you my e-mail address. Or to prevent a deluge of similar request you might consider uploading somewhere and posting a link. There should not be any legal issues since it was officially given away online for free to begin with. |

This is one of those times I wish that I was multilingual. I'd love to see this stuff translated.
Gonna shake my fist again at our bogus "Shockwaves!" translation. ("This is what happens! But no stats! Just run summaries! Eff you, English audience!") |
