It's be fun to watch but kinda scary  ;D

Sort of like watching pet gerbils fight- amusing, but harmless.  :D
Not to be demanding, but can you please point that Panther Assault Cannon somewhere other than my groin?

My requests would be


More vehicles (I wont ask for a R4 book as it might kill the game again)
London / UK sourcebook (hey I'm from london and would love to do a run here)
Space / Deep water (could be done together as 'Shadows of the Depths')
"Didnt anyone tell you as security school to geek the mage first?"  "I guess I will just have to educate you with a introduction to my boomstick"

See, now I think Arsenal is the R4 book, it's got all the extra vehicles, rules for modding them and plenty of drones. And, they made sure it wouldn't kill the game by not calling it Rigger 4! ;D

As the old man has already pointed out, Arsenal might be just the book for you on this.

Well, not totally. I never did find rules for creating a guided missile cruiser in there... and my runners really could use AEGIS combat capability.  ;D

Yes there are. There is a big ship in the book, you can mod that ship with lots of drone racks and use those to launch rigged drones filled with explosives! Et voila, Guided Missile Cruiser.

Speaking as a fan and GM, not a freelancer:
Actually, what I would like to see most are the following books:

MASTER OF SHADOWS – The Gamemaster Guide to SR
Maps, stats, goons, grunts, NPCs, how to run and all the other stuff in the GM section of the main rules expanded and explained in greater detail, stereotypical runs (and how to avoid them if one wants to), problem players, special rules ...

10 MATRICES – Virtual Places
A guide to 10 VR locations with visualisation, special rules (like: the ingame VR rules of that world, because you have to stay "virtually alive" to achieve whatever it is you are tasked to do there), adventure seeds etc. Think Second Life, WoW (or World Without Magic IV), Facebook VR and other sites transferred/elevated to a VR – and what dark stories there may be lurking. Should also contain a list of VR/AR services that are so important that they actually define Matrix culture (give us the facebooks, twitters and farmvilles of 2072+).

NEW SPRAWL SITES – if not included in GM book

and most of all:

DREKK – the Runner's Magazine
An ingame magazine (PDF?) like Street Samurai Catalogue or Rigger Black Book or the CP2020 Chromebooks and (most of all) Solo of Fortune: A magazine/blog/newsfeed that details a lot of topics that cater to runner's interests, features new equipment (with description and rumors and shadowtalk and ingame ads by the manufacturer) and lists of current music, sport events, a section on job offers ... new stuff can later appear in a new Arsenal, but reintroduce the story aspect of stuff, because STUFF IS COOL! Give us brands, give us some attitude, but not as a long rant of some shadowtalker or snippets of sociolist studies, but STRAIGHT IN THE FACE, as articles, posts, ads, spam ... a profile-generated magazine with content collected by an agent program of your everyday shadowrunner. With Shadowbabe (and Shadowhunk, if you must) of the month Smiley

My Wishlist

Scales in the Shadows- a Sourcebook dealing with the Dragon and serpents of the Sixth World, with Profiles on the most well known, and hints at their motivations and what pies they have their talons in.

Smuggler's Haven - a book on Smugglers, Coyotes, and other transporters of illegal goods, people, and bodies. It would be a great chance to publish more vehicles and rigger gear without calling a book Rigger 4

The Shadow Isles- What is going on in the British Isles in 2072 and Beyond

Denver 2072 - Need I say more?

@raben-aas

The Runner's Toolkit is supposed to include contacts, maps and a lot of GM stuff, so that might meet the need of your Master of Shadows/New Sprawl Sites

10 Matrices is an great idea. Along with 10 Dragons, 10 Mercs and 10 Johnsons

Attitude sound like it will be a lot like your DREKK request, in the spirit of Shadowbeat.

@Saint - 10 Dragons = Scales in the Shadows and +1 on your other items.

No, actually. Shadowbeat still had a very strong focus on lengthy articles explaining the 6th world to someone who obviously doesn't have a clue about what's going on (for obvious reasons). SOLO OF FORTUNE, on the other hand, was an ingame magazine for CP2020 Solos (what streetsams are in SR). In it, you had "normal" articles, like in a magazine, with a rather big share of pictures, some ads, and stats for new equipment given in boxes or at the bottom of the page/article/ad.

I always liked this "dropping the player right into the middle of stuff" approach, even in the red CP2020 book, where there was a rather big section of articles that were written and layoutet in magazine style.

SR and CP were very similar in that approach at first, i.e. the Street Samurai catalogue had that "softcover" feeling of being an actual ingame mail order catalogue. Sure: When compared to SR4 artwork and style the catalogue sucks bad, but just imagine an ingame SR magazine in the look and feel (not paperwise, contentwise) of a magazine from the future.

I think I could learn TONS of stuff more about the world of 2073+ by flipping through a 2073 Trideo or Lifestyle Magazine than by reading a lengthy "explanation book" with double the amount of pages and 10x the amount of words.

An ad for a tridshow named Wunderkrieg tells me more than a study on trideo evolution of the last 30 years. It's how I absord (and learn to care for) setting info.

It's basically all "show, don't tell".
