Thank you for this! And for the D20 one, as well.

I've finally got the desire to try my hand at Gming, and while I'll be
starting off with D&D 3.5 (Eberron, to be exact), I hope to give Shadowrun a
try, too, probably after the SR4 stuff is out. I'm very excited about some
of the things mentioned at the Origins What's New with FanPro mp3 on the
site, esp the idea of new adventures with ideas on how to run. This has me
wondering if there's any one else with sources of ideas, whether full
adventures, or "nuggets" of ones.

You know, there are actually a lot of SR archetypes and npcs on the web. Are
you going to try to capture them and make sure about the rights, or what? and
what indeed about SR4?
