I've got two non-Hand weapon equipment cards in play. I play a Fajo's Menagerie, but don't download an equipment card (either through choice or because I'm out) - do I still get to draw two cards, or is the card drawing dependent on the successful downloading?

If you don’t have an equipment left, you can still draw the card. This falls under the “do as much as you can” rule.

If you play Fajo’s Menagerie and still have an equipment in your deck, you have to download it, BTW.

Huh. Did not know that (although now, properly reading it, makes complete sense). Thanks :thumbsup:

You do have to initiate the download, but you can choose not to take the equipment.
The Rulebook, Page 9 wrote:Download: This word allows you to look through your deck for
the specified card, reveal that card to all players so they can verify that
the correct card was downloaded, place it in your hand, and shuffle the
remaining cards in your deck. There is no penalty if you don’t find (or
choose not to take)
a card you are allowed to download.
Emphasis mine. Please note that the download still results in shuffling your deck, even if you choose not to take the card.
