An amazing resource here:

http://cyberpunk.liber-mundi.org/index.php?lng=us

Though this site was created for the RPG Cyberpunk 2020 (wow, sci-fi! 13 years in the future :dead: ) it uses pictures taken from all over the place: Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Mekton-Z, Bubblegum Crisis - There's even the Red Alert 2 concept art for a Soviet Gunship as the BAE-Westland V-40 Egret :color1:

Just thought this might be good for anyone wanting a hand with the visual feel of this RPG. Hundreds of guns, tanks, wheelers, VTOLs (for 'Ospreys' read 'Tilt-Wings) and jets.

Hurrah!

(Anyone fancy getting me a Browning Ultra-Power for my birthday? :color1: )

A lot of it seems to be in French though...

[edit]

Ooooh, they got the Tachikoma :D
They're missing the bigger Uchikoma though. Prolly haven't seen the end of GITS:SAC2 :p

Aye, a lot is in French, but we still have the pics ;) The rules won't be much use anyway.

I'm setting the next chapter several years in the future, by the way - Expect to see Aerodynes, Walkers and (very rarely) Laser weapons sometime soon ;)

Edit:

Serenla makes a note of the names of the gear here: Should they be changed to more Shadow-ish names?

In some cases yes. There are lots of little corps here (mainly small gun makers) that would have been swallowed up by the big boys: IWS, Zaibatsu, SovArms, GM, Daisaka, etc. But it can be reasoned also that the companies are run as subsidiaries by their owners.

With the vehicles, I'd say rename them. Generally IWS and Euroarms for European Vehicles, Zaibatsu and Daisaka for the asian ones, GM, Armstech and IWS for the American ones and Kamov/SovArsenal for the russkies.

Edit Edit!

Don't forget your one-shot disposable plastic guns! :D

Obligatory post so Wes' next update doesn't get merged. :p

Yay for cheap, plastic guns! :D

Oh yes, the 'Borg weapons can be used by Trolls quite comfortably, and by Orks and Dwarves at a stretch. Ie: Fire more than 5 shots at a go and you'll have a broken wrist :dead:
