I'd have to say no. IMO this would turn Shadowrun into a "who's got the
most toys" game like AD&D or Battletech. Not that I don't like those two
games :) (I love em). But I like Shadowrun as it is, in terms of the
amount of equipment available. On the other hand FASA could probably make
a lot of money with this idea.... <shrug>.
