As the Hero Labs data packs are completed, I would love to see NPC stats provided in HL format; would be a great complement to the PDF releases.

that's not a horrible idea.  I may see about doing something like that for Missions.  Would make for a nice "extra".

Missions - excellent idea!  Of course, it will likely be hard to do "easily" until the core book data packs have been released.

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...

There already is an SR CCG. I think it is out of print now, though.

Yeah, but he's asking for a non CCG card game...  FFG does "Living Card Games", in which you buy fixed sets of cards.  The decks are customizable, so you still can build your own decks to play with, but they aren't sold randomly.  So you'd buy a "Start Box" that would have 100 or 200 cards...  With enough copies of most (or all) cards to fill out 3 or 4 to a deck (Whatever the game rules allow).  I think some of FFG's stuff has a bit of artificial rarity, by only including 1 or 2 copies of certain cards, which I find annoying personally, but whatever.

Anyways, then you add further theme sets down the line..>  So there might be a "Magic" set, and an "Augmentation" set, or a War!" set or "Missions Season 4" set, that would add new gear, new characters, new locations, new challenges, etc based on the books and allowing you to tailor the decks to the themes. 

But the key is you always know what you're getting.  No more massive blind booster buys.  I sunk so much money into Magic, Shadowrun, the Clix games, etc, buying boosters that ended up being 100% useless, even as trade material, because I'd get a crappy rare or something.  Frustrating.

Anyway, if you want something like this, hey, tell Jason and the folks at Catalyst.  I know they have at least one proposal sitting in their inbox for such a game

I think that this is a great idea, if you are looking for people to buy a card game that they don't spend a king's ransom on chasing a few cards. I'd be inclined to grab something like that. (Hell, one of the projects I have on the back burner is something like that, just for a completely different style of game)

I remember buying a box of Underworld boosters... and completing the expansion. First time ever it happens to me something similar 
There are several retailers selling boxes of decks and boosters on ebay yet, but as Bull said...im tired of getting crappy useless cards. Thats why i think the idea behind Living Card Games could work with Shadowrun:
- Enough theme sets granting a long life for the game
- "Start Box" allows for some great art on the box.
- Its possible add some "extras" to the boxes, as minis, or clix (small this time please  )...
- "cheap" expansions...a deck and its all...

As an aside, in terms of a Shadowrun animated project, don't forget that while the network shows are bubblgum toy ads, there are alternate channels these days. Adult Swim, while low budget, has no problem with language or blood, while HBO does the rare animation project that's rather mature (Spawn, for all the faults it had, shows what they're willing to air) ... it's certainly doable, as long as you have a good studio behind you and good writers.

Take a gander at Avatar the Last Airbender, the current Thundercats, or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and you'll find that the current crop of writers grew up on 80's shows and wants to kick righteous hindquarters in the memory of what came before.

But, I'm an animation geek and could blather on about this topic for, like, days.

[CanRay]

"Low Budget, Low Life" on Adult Swim, perhaps?

[beowulf_of_wa]

Want:

a box set of maps for various locations, like a few pages for the former renraku arcology, maybe a "standard" Azzie or Ares building (flavored to fit the corp) basically a step beyond the DMZ and sprawl sites stuff.

an upgrade/update of DMZ to allow truly fast and dirty combat.

an upgrade/update of RBB 2+3's weapon/vehicle DESIGN stuff.

and Cyber of Space (stuff that Space workers use cyber/bio/equip/etc.)

possibles: have the pdf of a book actually have some of the shadowtalk type comments about the equipment in that book. "this gun rocks" "yeah if you're selling them, i've burned thru 5 in 6 months, cuz x burns out within 500 rounds"

The idea to do individual cities as smaller PDF style outputs would be great. Start with DC.

No card game crap. Bleh those are only good for the artwork.

THIS! Though DC will be in Conspiracy Theories, having a series of PDFs like The Rotten Apple for Manhattan would be awesome.

[mistrornge]

Small areas would be cool as well. Say eastern UCAS or parts of Asia/the middle east,etc.

[CanRay]

Maybe a sourcebook on small areas by locals?

[Wakshaani]

My personal playground is Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, aka Big Brotherly, aka The Sleeping Giant, the largest population of any city in the UCAS. (Recall that New York emptied after the quake, Chicago got buggy, Boston was nuked (!), and California is its own place, so.)

If we ever do a focus on the CAS, I'm all over that one.

If we go for a "10 Cities" online thing, I'll happily lay claim to Nashville. I'm just down the road, after all, and the Vol Sprawl has scads of background options, from smuggling to BTL to the Church of Elvis, to intra-state rivalries to massive corporate industrial investment to environmental issues ... there's a lot going on.
