I mean stuff in game, chummers.
Stuff like Urban Brawl and such
Anyone have books (besides SSG) and/or sites for me?

Are you a woman, Fortune?
If so, I'd like to kiss you.
If not, well, too bad.

Not last time I checked.

And A Killing Glare.
Blast! They steal more and more of my money!
In this case "they" is some third party, as both books have been out of print for quite some time.
Not that it makes much difference to your wallet

Just to my effort.
Shadowbeat - 1st Ed sourcebook with lots of media info including rules for Urban Brawl and Combat Biker as well as a few others and changes made to modern sports with the advent of magic, cyber, and biotechnology. If you can find it used for a decent price, pick this book up, then rip out the entire first chapter. I HATE rockers! It's the lamest character "class" in Shadowrun history and I'm so glad that by 2nd Ed they learned no one wants to play them.
A Killing Glare - Rather uninteresting (to me at least) 2nd Ed adventure which has slightly updated rules for Urban Brawl in the back. Other than that, not much to it at all. If you know someone who has it or can find it for a couple of bucks used, you can check it out. Otherwise, don't bother and get one of the other two books.
Sprawl Survival Guide - 3rd Ed sourcebook with pretty much everything from Shadowbeat condenced and updated to 3rd Ed and about 10 years in the storyline or so. Definately pick this up if you haven't yet. It's got a TON of background info both players and GMs can use to bring more detail and realism to their characters and the gaming world, and the rules for custom lifestyles is awsome as it allows you to flesh out your character by showing where they live rather than dumping everything into a single class. Come on, which lifestyle would you place a huge abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere with huge amounts of security but no furniture to speak of and only having Insta-Ramen in the house to eat?
I know these were already mentioned, just thought I'd summerize what you'd find in each book.
