Props Roster I

This is a collection of items to provide additional colour to a Shadowrun game. There is no


particular theme and they're not intended to be of world-altering significance just interesting
possessions of NPCs, items in corporate lobbies and unusual rewards.

These are a selection of powerful security toys for use at the more serious end of corp security.
They're mainly statted out according to the rules in Arsenal. Given that their main purpose in a
game is to either blow up PCs or be blown up by PCs, this roster is a lot lighter on fluff than most
rosters.
