I certainly would like to be able to search over the Shadowrun source
material, rather than having to remember where things are in which books.
(It'd be great to get all the sourcebooks for the different locations
together, or the ones useful for character creation and outfitting
[SR2, VR2, Shadowtech, Shadowbeat, FoF, Cybertechnology, Grimoire,
Awakenings] or all the area sourcebooks, or all the adventures.
For that matter, if a CD-ROM omnibus for Earthdawn were available, I
probably would've picked that up when I got curious about the ED references
in SR-- usually I hunt around to find it used.)
It would probably be a bad idea to publish something *solely* on CD-ROM
(unless it's an otherwise out-of-print adventure or sourcebook), but
if it doesn't cost a lot to produce (i.e., you have all the layout stuff
already on a computer and maybe all you need to do is scan in the artwork,
do some futzing with Adobe Acrobat, and print it out to PDF files),
it could be a nice supplemental for the folks who have computers with
CD-ROMs.
