Out of Print Shadowrun Books Available as PDFs

Posted by Zonk on 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.

    That's why it's so important to support your local gaming shop. When something
    new comes out, I always flip through it at the store to determine if it's
    something worth buying and I've never been hassled. If you get everything
    online and the local stores disappear due to lack of community support, you
    will always be at the mercy of whatever content Amazon (or whoever) decides to
    make available to you.

    Also, people who run local gaming shops are far more likely to have a personal
    interest in the material than large retailers (like Walden's). Get to know
    them and they can be a wonderful resource for getting introduced to new systems.
