I used to be a Shadowrun player (1st Edition).  It was
the pure lack of realism that moved me into
Millennium's End and other games like it.

The GMs Companion (backing up other positive votes)
will be a tremendous resource.

I host the MillenniumsEnd.com website, and several
people have contributed supplemental sources of
information that should be of interest.

Rob Thomas has submitted the most complete list of
weapons I've ever seen (EVER SEEN) and it is designed
with Millennium's End stats.  I dare say that it is
the most complete list on the Internet.  He also sent
me all of his Skill Packages, which I posted
yesterday.

We have a small list of "Essays," which are small
papers designed to educate the GM to add realism to
sessions.

For new players, I recommend the MECS application.  It
has several bugs, and if I ever get the time to
decypher Gary Newsham's work, I might go in and try to
fix it.  It is a Character Generation program for
Win32 platform systems.

There are also a great number of creative efforts. 
Most noteable are Eric Benson's character sheets (One
is a complete work of art, and so noted on the
webpage) and his adventures.  He makes it look so easy
that I'm trying to write an adventure now.  It's a lot
harder than it looks.
