Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 17:25:18 -0800
I travel about 60-70 miles with some buddys of mine to a Half Price book
store they had been telling me about, and GAWD, the books they had! How
luck am I to get these:
Harlequin $6.00
Divided Assets $4.00
Dreamchipper $4.00
Queen Euphoria $5.00
DNA/DOA $4.00

Thats all I could afford with the little cash I brought, but man what a
deal, sure their used but in good condition, they just didn't know what
they had. 1st edition SR hardback book in mint condition for 8 bucks,
Fields of Fire, Street sam 1 + 2nd ed., Seattle Sourcebook, and many
more.. all VERY cheap.. This is just to say, some of those OOP books
are out there if ya know where to look for them. I felt very luck to get
what I did.. my players cringed when I showed em.. Mwuhahaha!

Quick tip: increase the stats of the NPCs related to the chips.
Otherwise the PCs will walk right over them.

Why? This is a great adventure for a new group. And if you ever need
a map of a lab in the future, just make a few modifications, and
Voila!

I bought this adventure second-hand too, a few months back, and although
I'll use it I will change the contents of the lab to something more
believable.

They don't, at least the one here in town doesn't. And I haven't had
the good fortune of finding sourcebooks at the one here. Did snag a
couple of the novels, though.

Conventions are one of the greatest sources of cheap books, even the small
ones. Between dealer rooms with used merchandise and auction rooms, you
can almost always find a few really nice sourcebooks or modules for SR :]
