How about a full-auto shotgun, there are rules for it, just not one of
them. Also, how about some more stealth based weapons. All the miltech
weapons just aren't what I want runners to have. Also how about some
more take down, not out weapons. It is harder to leave a living guy then
a dead. And those corps and cops (what is the difference) don't go after
someone who doesn't kill the guards as badly. Hope this helps. Oh, try
to come up with something new and not just modified stuff. There are
enough smgs and hps, if there is nothing special about it, there really
isn't the need. Make it lighter or have a new package or something
special. Neat toys are fun.

Some old style weapons. Bring back some of hte old crap. And a chainsaw.

BTW, this reminds me:

I'm compiling another catalog of vehicles. The first supplement is of
old Eastern Bloc ground vehicles. The second will be of old NATO
vehicles. The third will be my favorite: Classic cars & reproductions.

If you have any requests or if you have any characters who would like
appearances in the catalog by the way of the comment-line, drop it by my
personal email.

These both sound like they'd be great for NERPS: Shadowlore II.
In fact, the holy Entombed has already promised to add about 40 vehicles
for the book; be great if there were more (perhaps you two should get in
touch with each other.)
Email me if you need a copy of the NERPS FAQ.

Also forgot to mention that Im building a group of people here in New
Mexico to form a live action version of Shadowrun and Cyberpunk. All
ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in helping
email me directly.

Thanks Edge

How about weapons which do not show up on MAD-detectors? One of the
most annoying aspects of the game in my experience is that every
bloody detector seems to find all your "gear". I'm not a weapons
expert but I think that ceramic stuff should be possible in 2050.

Greetings,

If I get enough time (only two weeks left before
finals...AAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!) I will send you some of the more
interesting weapons myself and a friend (Paladin/Reaver/Scott Harders)
have come up with in the last several years. Two warnings though.
First, a whole lot of the weapons we stole from other games, like
Cyberpunk or Underground. Second, we play a very high-powered game, and
that is refelcted, to a degree, in the weapons, so they might need to be
powered down some. But we have designed hundreds of weapons and toys...

I've put together this weapons-and-other-stuff thing. Once I get full
internet access, I think I'll be posting it at cerebus.
