Wahoo! Challenge Time!

By the way, someone mentioned they downloaded sourcebooks. Where the heck did you get
those at? I haven't played in like a year and I miss it! My poor huge bin of SR stuff
sat in my dorm all year last year. I am considering getting some sort of SR MUD-type
project together at my school though. I have been coding the character info for a while
now. But, I digress...

To repeat what Adam posted:

"Asking listmembers to infringe copyright is bad form, especially since
FanPro is still publishing Shadowrun products and is considering bringing
out CD-ROM compilations of OOP products. Further requests for illegally
distributed copyright material - out of print or not - will result in
removal from the list."

With that in mind, you will not find downloadable sourcebooks by asking
anyone on any of the Dumpshock mailing lists.

An electronic copy of a sourcebook, while it seems inherently cool, is far
from it. They are illegal, and it would be greatly appreciated if everyone
would respect copyright and the authors/publisher and NOT go looking for
them.

Yeah, that's cool. I fully support Shadowrun, I wasn't looking for a free source. I read
something before about sourcebooks possibly being available for download for a price.

Anyway... speaking of sourcebooks, would it be a good idea to have YOTC?
