after all, sr is a game and i think games should be funny
so we should maybe try some "funny" critters (example: the invincible rat) --
not "hard-hitters"
(4d6+20 init, 15D damage, +3 reach). just some creatures for player
shocking.
let's pick up the alien-idea and expand it a little bit: klingons &
ferengi from star trek, the good old aliens and so on.

yes, this sounds like ad&d TM (and after playing ad&d TM for more
than four years i really HATE this rpg *pfui*).
this and the kit idea could be some kind of earthdawn-crossover
(uhhh, i sayed the cursed word) -- the kit is a kind of
ed-discipline.

the globetrotter-guide is a nice idea, but it is just another
standard sourcebook. there are so many expansions, but they are all
the same (ok, ok some expansions are really good -- take a look at the
nerps-books! :) ): weapons, weapons and weapons; chars, chars & chars
....
