In an alternate world where CGL was a megacorps and had buckets of money to throw around. What kind of Shadowrun merchandise would you buy?
My vote goes towards in game T-shirts. As I mentioned in another thread I'd just love to get a "DocWagon: HTR" shirt. CanRay mentioned hats and I'd agree that'd be pretty freaking cool too.
What would you all like to see?

Plastic, non-HeroClix style minis. Like the Wizards of the Coast D&D or Star Wars lines.
A Shadowrun GM's software package that has 6D auto dice rollers, digital Grunt, Vehicle & Drone and NPC forms, combat turn order and pass markers, character generation forms, all with free upgrades and software patches... naturally.
A selection of megacorp hats and teeshirts.
Laminated Shadowrun weapons, equipment, spells, programs and vehicles cards with a blank area on each for wet or dry erase note-making.

Absolutely. You want the ally spirit to possess the NERPS first, because dikoting it ups the OR (and also, the ally spirit can protect the NERPS from the high temperatures in the dikoting furnace). But once you have sex with it, the payoff will be worth it.

Non-Essential Role-Playing Stuff.
it was (i've heard) used a lot in earlier editions of shadowrun books, in advertisements for all kinds of different (completely unrelated-sounding) things.

I love the the Stuffer Shack work uniform, it should have an extra pocket on the inside.
You know, where you can put your cermaic ballistic inserts for those weekend night shifts.
I think a mini line would be cool but I rarely use minis so they'd exists solely to sit on my desk and amuse me.
My group has several times expressed a wish for a dedicated handheld digital dice roller (ie. not a laptop). I personally love handrolling dice but some of the new guys have uhm... issues with that. Give them more than 6 dice and suddenly half of them are skittering under inconvient objects.
Mugs would be cool, I'd be down for mugs

If the Shadowrun 360 game been such a disaster it would have been cool to get a SR themed Zune. You know, for you Shadowrun theme music.

God... Stuffer Shacks owned by the Azzie's right?
I wonder if they custom tailor the look to fit the country or if there's a generic logo the use for everywhere.
It's probably something really dull, with hideous color. In fact I'd say it pretty much has to include horrible colors.

Probably custom tailored to the locality. Frankly, because I really hate "Summer Wear" clothing when you're working in a Northern Ontario Drive-Thru.

For t-shirts, I second: "Doc Wagon: HRT"; "Renraku"; "Aztechnology"; "Ares Firewatch " I would love to see those.
The Harlequin t-shirt!!! I would love to have that too!!

Last year at GenCon there were several t-shirts available that were SR themed...I will have to search and see if I can find the quotes.

At this time, we're not planning on offering non-electronic payment options. Sorry for the inconvenience -- I suggest setting up a PayPal account, which you can transfer money from your bank account to, and then use your PayPal balance to pay. You can configure PayPal so it won't automatically draw extra funds from your bank account if you attempt to spend more money than you have as a PayPal balance, and it's really quite painless to do.

Hmm...
- T-shirts for some of the SR bands would be cool (in an "I'm a gamer dork, yo." way
). - I always wanted some SR dice, but wasn't playing when they were being made. It'd be nice to correct that oversight, especially if the 2, 3, and 4 side weren't painted.
- Matte black nylon book bag with the SR logo. (prefer the old school S, but I'd settle for a newer logo)
- Iron-on patches of various Shadowrun corps/nation/group logos/flags.

I want stuff I can take discretely to work, so t-shirts are right out. Hence why I suggested a coffee mug.
As an aside an Ares sticker to apply to my boom stick would be very cool, but obviously not really something I should be showing off at work.

sure he died but it'd be cool to have

I'd prefer adapting an old
meme for that shirt.
Front: "Dunkelzhan Has a Posse" and a woodcut-esque silhouette of a western dragon.
Back: some uplifting quote about uniting to to repulse the horrors.

Another variation on the theme might be something like "I went to the Arcology mall, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt... [and on the back] "... and re-programming." (reference to becomming Banded during the shutdown. )
or maybe a sticker for my PC that declares it "Deus resurrection node 148h6z/q5@=67#cg4".

As an aside, this topic came up once before and we got some great ideas. My wife volunteered to do the actual work at no cost, so people would just be paying cafe press or whoever for the shirt at whatever cafepress charges. However, when I tried to contact Fan Pro for permission to use their IP, I never got an answer. If someone else is willing to do the legal legwork, I'll see about getting the art work done.
