Steering this towards SR.. Character Generator, if done well, would be
nice. Screen Saver, well, blah. Some computer generated maps of the
various cities in 205x would be really nice, especially if you could add
notes and captions to them, and maybe design your own. Audio tracks, well,
if they'res space left, sure.. :)

I haven't even played Quake, I just listen to the music on the CD, only
thing its good for.. :)

Agreed.. I really wouldn't use an online rulebook very often. I have a
pile of binders of stuff I've printed out, because I would much rather read
paper than a screen. A master index would be nice, very nice.

I still don't see this happening, not for a long time.. about two years or
so, since making some SRII compatible now would be a big waste, so they
would need to wait until SRIII is at least finished, if not released and
errata'ed
