I'm of the considered opinion that Aladdin's ring would come in quite handy as well. Everyone forgets there was a ring, they just remember the lamp.  Lamps are obvious, I'll take the ring and the djinn therein, much subtler, and you still get to wish up dinner, a new car, a spiff wardrobe, and an occasion trip to Blackpool.

I should read up on the original version of that story, really.
I know there was a ring, but I'm vague on the details I'm afraid.

Well, the thing about public domain is that it's easy to find at least a version on the net: http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/141/the-blue-fairy-book/3132/aladdin-and-the-wonderful-lamp/

One thing classic fairy tails ain't is PC ;)  I always give thick books of 'em to people having kids - well, that or those annoying stuffed toys that sing and won't shut up.

Apoc, bud!  Thought you'd been made into boots long ago!  I was really hoping to find a pair you one of these days.

Dragon hide boots. Knew there were some out there. OMG! Don't look, Apoc! Oh, my! How gauche, my apologies.

Pretty sure Apoc-skin boots would be nicer though.
... and not worth the effort ;)

Absolutely correct. Never make (or have made) boots out of a colleague who might actually stand the next round.  That'd just be so short sighted and counter productive.

I was poking around in a used book store the other day and found a handful of 1990s Shadowrun novels on the sale table. For giggles, picked up the three that weren't part of series: Never Trust an Elf, Night's Pawn, and 2XS. Only the first of which I've ever heard of. It's summer, I needed summer reading, right? They won't be as good as my stuff but I'm willing to give them a go  ;D

funnily enough, I had a similar experience, except the ones I got were Bug City, Cyber Pirates, and Target: Smuggler Havens.

Did you ever visit the Windy City during bug season?

Been to Chicago just once, a flying visit, didn't have to shoot anything, and was gone as quickly as transport could be arranged ;)  Felt that was the prudent thing to do.

Finished the first one, a bit too simplistic, no characters to hang your hat on so to speak, although the famed Dodger made a cameo. 

I once had a cyberpunk rpg character called Dodger before I'd ever head of Shadowrun.  But she was a girl, a heavily armed girl with no data jack, just copious plastic surgery, and new eyes.
