I haven't seen anything like that, but what are you looking for? Other than
Character Stats, I really can't think of much that would need to be put up...

But then, it's been awhile since I read the books...

How's about ALL the stats for ALL the guns AND all their respective notes etc

Only save you $40 in books there.

Yeah, but it would only violate a few copyright laws I would think...no
problem there, if FASA doesn't mind you cutting into their profit margin...

And I believe they do. I know they have a problem with people photocopying
them and mailing them out. Bottom line is, if you want to send out
copyrighted FASA products, this list is probably not the best place to do
it, considering a major rep from FASA is on the list.
This is NOT a flame. Merely a kindly warning.
