Out of Print Shadowrun Books Available as PDFs

Posted by Zonk on Monday December 27, 2004 @05:14AM from the merry-christmas,-chummer dept.

The current design team for the Shadowrun table-top RPG, FanPro, has intended to make out of print resources available via the web for quite a while. In what is hopefully the first in a series of such offerings, they've made the Gamemaster's Screen and Critters Sourcebook available for download in PDF format.

ICE are also releasing pdfs of old material. by rjforster · 2004-12-27 06:06 · Score: 4, Informative

And new material for that matter. For example, right now their newest game HARP is available as a PDF for just $2. This is less than I spent on the plastic lyfjacket cover for my printed copy!

Nope, they're just plain PDFs...

You'll see both Shadowrun and Classic BattleTech PDFs appearing next month at www.drivethrurpg.com and www.battlecorps.com -- and these will be non-DRM PDFs to boot. We'll also have the Shadowrun Quick Start Rules up on www.srrpg.com as a free PDF later this week.
