I want a Tokyo sourcebook similar to the Seattle one.
Well, Japan now is getting Shadowrun books.  Maybe they'll get interesting stuff that's only in Japanese like Germans get only in German.  ;)

Wouldn't hurt to see Dallas/Ft.Worth again. But then I am biased.

I don't know...  *Sings in the key of off*

"Tin soldiers and Atzlan's coming, we're gonna be on our own;
Down the road I hear the drumming, forty dead in San Antonio;
Gotta get down to it, blood mages are cuttin' 'em down, should have been done long ago;
What if you knew them, and found them dead on the ground, how can you run when you know?"

I dunno if this has been said, but I would find some money to spend on a history and lore compilation.

Think Leaves From the Inn of the Last Home, but for Shadowrun instead of Dragonlance.  I know some non-gamers that might buy something like that as a coffee table piece too.

At this point, people would LOVE some more SR novels, period. It was the one thing I kept hearing people ask Jason over and over again at origins.

Best of the best ideas I'd vote for (as many times as possible):

1.  Shadowrun miniatures.  Prepainted plastic minis in several boxed sets (Runners Set I & II, CorpSec, Gangers, MegaCorp Movers, etc).  Don't have to be collectible, random or with rarity.  Just straight up boxed sets of 10 or so figs ready to use right out of the package.

2.  Shadowrun comic.  We've got such fantastic artists in the SR community, both amateur and professional.  And writing talent in spades.  I'm also fairly sure CGL could come up with some printers...

3.  Shadowrun video game.  Rather than a Bioware or (gods no) CCP route, I'd go more in an Ubisoft direction.  Just play some of the Assassin's Creed titles and tell me you don't picture your character as a historical shadowrunner.  Wetwork, thievery, spying and the latest tech for the biz.  All the aspects are there.  Along with the free roam, kill anywhere in a detailed metroplex theme.  Oh, and the modeling and character control is quite superb.

4.  A Hostile Arcologies sourcebook.  Space and deep water have a lot of similarities as far as special living/working conditions go.  I think one book could support both environments.  Complete with a Runner Havens style chapter detailing one major location for each and a few minor entries, a who's doing what chapter and a tech/gear section.

And to add to all the previous ideas:  an occasional web enhancement,  There's bound to be material that didn't make the final cut of a book due to page count, etc. The kind of stuff that there isn't enough of it to make even a pdf only product out of.   I'd love to see some of that show up in the way other companies have released it (a page or two here and there on their website as a freebie).  Whether listed as official or optional, I don't think anyone here wouldn't  want to see extra content.

I'd like to see a Shadows of the Confederation book, if only to find out how the hell the CAS managed to re-incorporate the Air Force back into the Army and whether it stayed that way.

Unfortunately, this one is pretty much out of Catalyst's hands. Microsoft still owns the rights, currently sub-licensed to Smith & Tinker.

That said, a web-based 3D online version of Shadowrun is in the works.

Shame about MS  buying out FASA's properties,  Hurt a lot of people's feelings not to mention jobs.   Multiplayer Battletech: 3025 was all but ready to launch when it got axed.   EA (who bought Kesmai from Newscorp) and MS couldn't get along well enough to let Kesmai get it out.  A lot of good people at Kesmai wanted to do a proper MMOish Shadowrun game but those are the breaks.  Lest I got the all the Shadowrun books when they closed the doors.

Yeah, the core concept was pretty cool.  I think it could have been tweaked to make it friendlier, though.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."

Nooooo no more CCGs, please :P


I have lost alot of time and money to those already.   A SR one might get me to spend some bucks on them once again.

What about a SR:TCG  "similar"  to "A game of thrones:the card game"? Not a collectible-spend-ur-money-in-random-boosters...a core set, and expansions in pre-constructed decks, and some minis with each expansion...
