I would really love to see a toys book that is cannon. I.E.: Cars,
Bikes, The missing SUV's <sport Utilitiy Vehicles>, General cool stuff
book. For those of us with GM's that prefer Cannon material that would
help sooo much in fleshing out our characters. But do it after MITS.
If MITS gets put off again I am gonna be MIFFD!

Well, don't expect to see any actual SUV's (RBB came out before they were
thought of, and well... They're a bit silly IMNSHO :)) unless Jon decides
to write some up :]

Oh, and a note... Cannon is something you fire... Canon (One "n") is the
word you were looking for, though they're both pronounced the same way.
Canon is something official, or material officially accepted by the
"Leaders" of something, in this case FASA. Oh, and Conan is a big
barbarian sometimes played by Arnie Schwartzenagger.

Lastly, you were sort of right asking for something "Cannon". FASA has a
revised "Gun Book" coming out that combines SSC, FoF, and will have new
material and rules in it called the Cannon Companion. It's very possible
that it will have new vehicles in it. It will come out later next year
sometime...

You want cars, just go to the manufacturer web sites and copy their vehicle
information off of their web pages, and get the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested
Retail Price) from there, and just convert the dollar amount for the vehicle
into nuyen directly, and then convert the speed and economy information into
the metric system. And most cars (and SUV's) will fall into the Body 3
vehicle range.
