Found on IO.GAMES.FASA.SHADOWRUN

Seems to just include the new stuf. . .which is good, considering how many
products are already out there (some of them *way* out there. . .).

Here is the Shadowrun Product List from FASA...

The Germany Sourcebook(Out Now!) 7204 $18.00
Finally, Germany in the shadows is revealed! This long-awaited Shadowrun
sourcebook details the society, politics, and economics of Berlin,
Frankfort, the Rhine-Ruhr Megaplex, the southern Lander, and other areas
of Germany. Written by native Germans, this sourcebook was originally
published in German and has been translated for English-language release.
The book includes new German-manufactured equipment and gear, plus
sections on localcorporations, politics, and magic. Also included are new
rules for magical idols and their followers.

Lone Wolf(January) 5367 $4.99
Rick Larson is an undercover Lone Star operative caught in the middle of a
conspiracy. On one hand, he's about to blow his deep cover in an
explosively violent street gang- and on the other, his "friends" at his
agency have hung him out to dry, leaving him with only one option:
payback. A Shadowrun novel by Nigel Findley.

Eye Witness(January) 7316 $10.00
Parts is parts, some say. But when one of those parts contains the reasons
for murder, betrayal, corporate espionage, and...cannibalism, can a
shadowrun be far behind? This adventure takes the runners across Seattle,
into her depths and boardrooms, to her darkest corners yet. A Shadowrun
adventure by Mike Nystul.

Sprawl Maps (February) 7401 $15.00
Full color 11"x17" maps offer detailed scenes for your Shadowrun
encounters. Sites include a night club, back alley, monorail station, a
selection of apartments, and other colorful sprawl locations.

Fields of Fire(February) 7114 $15.00
The streets are a violent place, as dangerous as any battlefield. But the
lessons learned on those fields of fire are ones that can be applied to any
combat situation. Fields of Fire is not only the mercenary sourcebook for
Shadowrun, but a tactical street warfare handbook as well. Couple that
with pages of new weapons and support gear, and this book is one no mertc
or 'runner can live without.

Paradise Lost (March) 7317 $10.00
Hawaii:land of flowers and sunshine. But when shadowrunners find
themselves on the island kingdom, things are far from bright and cheerful.

without. Included is a short section of source material detailing the
socio-political situation in Hawaii.

Hey! what's that address?
Is it a ftp one?

If it is the case, I'm really sad 'cause I can't connect to this host!
Is it possible what's accessible there?

Let's hear it for contestant #2: The above is a newsgroup generated (I assume)
at IO.COM, which is indeed the beloved Illuminati BBS gone Network.

The COM stands for Commercial, which means $$$; you give them money, they let
you look at their files and have your very own UNIX account, among other
things.

>Is it possible what's accessible there?

Only indirectly. And no, don't bug me about file-fishing. I have other things
to do with my time. However, some of the files are uploaded onto other nodes;
Think.Com (which *is* publicly ftpable) has some RPG stuff for CP2020 and othe
games (like GURPS).
