I would love to see a book with space/moon/mars, and I would also love to see a book about the Ocean and what is in it.  Both in the same book would be acceptable.

So, an update on Target: Wastelands. My question with this is how much has happened to the Wastelands in the ten (game) years since the original? The only thing I know that is a major change is the Mars base.

Well you couldn't taint your lands with "Nazi brew"(tm)  ;D But now that enough grass has grown over it... let the brewing commence! Weissbier is ok, I prefer Helles.

Augustiner Bräu Lagerbier Hell...

(btw I felt the munich sourcebook was a bit strange... dachau, hasenbergl)

But back to toppic:
Well, space is really not necessary for SR. All that mars-stuff and space would get tooo high-power or, well, unrealistic. It's just not logical to send runners up there. That was one of the main problems in Target: Wastelands in my opinion.

What I would like to see is yet announced: Spy Games and Attitude

But a new book about smuggling would be nice, yes.

And I want so see more about the world. Not in an in-game magazine form or so but more about life, movies, clubs, lifestyle, sports, music, gossip etc. Maybe Attitude is covering some of that but I doubt there will be more than a sidebar list.

And I think we got enough cyberware, bioware, magic stuff etc. I really don't need more additional tech and rules in upcomming books. Keep it simple, fill the world not the rules.

I'd like to see something along the lines of Prime Runners done in a 10 Jackpointers style.

Hmm... Maybe a "Where are they now?" Include runners like Bung, Argent, Dirk, Wolf...

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
....................................,
10 MATRICES – Virtual Places
......................................,
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

Hey!! TPTB Take note here!!!
These are the kinds of products that Hooked me and my freinds all those years ago.
I'm not saying you have to go One page per item, (2 or 3 with a small font) but then again if you removed all that longwinded mostly irrelevant "article" posting before the gear, one page per item might have fit.

What i would really like to see, more than any new product is for the old products to get cleaned up. Post updates on rulings, Errata, and add more information to some spells and items. I.E. shapchange, and grenades, free spirit section, vehicle chase seems to cause some confusion. I understand nothing is perfect but some of these products have been out for two years, I found information from old line developers/ designers that sounds like it should be canon, but because it is not in print some GM's will count that them as house rules. Very very frustrating.

I would have to agree with Frankie here. Clean up the materials, update page references so they point at SR4A instead of the original book, the whole nine yards. Even put the books out as version 1.1 if ya need to, but it would be nice to have a complete set where every page reference was actually accurate. Fix the typos too.

It's a bunch of little things, but little things like that actually make the entire game line seem more professional and easier to work with.

After that? Lets see whats under the ocean's surface, please? I know of a few runners that would love to crack the shell of a horizon undersea lab...

Undersea would be cool. The Cyberpunk 2020 Firestorm books did that really well.

The core books are being reprinted with SR4A page references (see the recent Street Magic street date announcement) and typo corrections as I find 'em.

It would be great if you could put the updated SR4A page references in Street Magic and other reprinted sourcebooks in an online Errata pdf or something of the sort.
Thanks!

I'd love to the theses things:
1. Shadows over Africa. OK, there is some info about Lagos, Capetown and Nairobi available. Also there is the (outdated) Cyberpirates! SB with articles on Madagascar and the Gold & Ivory Coast. But that's it. Africa could be a very interesting und very diverse continent to play on.
2. Same thing is true about South America
3. Australia Update would also be fine...
But let's wait what the Almanac brings.

4. Better artwork! I got my copy of arsenal today and I'm VERY disappointed about the "patchwork" style of the interior art. And even more disappointing is the crappy style (like some of the weapons or vehicles). Someting like the Streetsamurai Catalogue or Rigger Black Book would have worked better for me, as I'm a guy who chooses his gun mor by the cool-factor than by the damage.
5. More about everyday life: There were some good articles in the SOTA 2063/20064 SBs (like "the road to Amazonia" on the Fifa Worldcup). I'd like to see more about things like "Life as a Sarariman" or "How food is processed" or "Wich show is hot on trid". Things that are not necessarily relevant for the game but some more flavor to it. Something like "Joe 2060" (for German-speakers only) was.
6. Something like the SOTA books.

thats it for nom

This may be a bit far out there, but a time travel book?

I really like the "Master of Shadows" GM book.  An entire chapter filled with NPCs or options thrown at opponents.  Encounters - groups of possible opponents for runners.  If your players take a path you didn't anticipate, its good to have something handy to throw at them.

A book of "maps."  I don't use miniatures, but sometimes (from my days as a DM at D&D) an entire adventure can come to mind just on a map.  Random warehouses, office buildings; layouts of big corp buildings, underground facilities, etc.  Heck, this in the Master of Shadows would be cool too.  I know the Toolkit is having some of this, but 10 random maps you can only use so many times.

Sin City.  'Nuff said.

I still like the underwater facilities as before.

More info on Japan, Middle East, Africa, Central & South America, Australia, and Antarctica.  More info on the Indian nations.
