What about Bubble Gum Crisis? The resource level of the Knighto Sabers
migght be off the scale for beginning chars but that seemed like an
obvious choice to me ... Along similar lines, if your running a police /
Lone Star campaign, AD Police files would be good and probably Angel Cop
as well (Althoough I haven't seen the last one). I can't think of any
anime that was good for mystic references ... all of the stuff I can
think of is too out there ;)
What about Blade Runner? or Judge Dredd?
I'm sure there are others but I can't think of any right now ...
I generally give my players access to most of my Shadowrun books as well
as my Rolemaster books (for the theory descriptions as well as the skill
listing :)
Speaking of BGC / ADP in SR, Anybody consider swiping the boomer laws?
(I'm not sure what a boomer would equate to in SR though ... a CZ?)
Crimes commited by a boomer (I don't think that have to be violent)
result in the destruction of said Boomer ... due to the mental
instability of cybermods anyone with more than 90% percent of their body
mass cybernetically replaced counts as a boomer. This can make things
nasty for some sammies ... but off the top of my my head, I think you
almost have to get into CZ land that kind of mods ... (4 cyberlimbs +
cybertorso = 5.5 essence). Note that since if you shell out for a total
cyberbody replacement (normally 6.25 essence loss) at delta level (now
only 3.125 essence loss) AND get an excelent doc who rolls exceptionally
well (now 2.5 essence loss) you still legally fall into the "boomer"
classification... nobody ever said the laws were perfect ... ;)
