Hya all.

I just have a question for all Shadowrun players in the Netherlands. Where
do you get your Shadowrun-products? This afternoon I went to the American
Book Center in Amsterdam, but they only had some modules and one or two
sourcebooks. Is there another store in the Netherlands where they have a
reasonably complete collection of products? Also, _if_ I can get the money
to buy a module, which would you recomend? I was thinking about The
Grimoire, or the RBBII. Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance,

Jod

I wouldn't know, myself (not being in Hol^H^H^H^H the Netherlands:), but
I believe Gurth has said on at least a copule of instances that he orders
his books from the UK.

If you don't already have it, the Core rule book would be a good place to
start:) Assuming you have that: The Grimoire, if you run a magic-heavy
game or group, VR2, if you have any PC deckers, Fields of Fire and/or the
Street Samurai Catalog, for the toy-lovers, Shadowtech and Cybertech for
the sammies, Awakenings if you want to expand on what is laid out in the
Grimmy, the RBB2 if you've got a rigger. Prioritise and make your
decision based on what you need most. Good luck,

Leisure Games in London :)

I don't know, I live too far away from any game store to have an idea of
who sells what. However, from the prices I've seen it's just as expensive
to order RPG books from the UK as it is to buy them in a store in this
country. Hell, it's cheaper even because I'd have to get a train ticket to
go to the store here...

The choice depends on what you feel your game is lacking. If you (or your
players) want more magic, go for the Grimoire, while if you need more
varied vehicles, buy the RBB.

I usually get my SRun stuff fromYendor in Rotterdam. They've got most
sourcebooks and modules, ( I think they still had a copy of The
Grimoire last time I checked.) As for Rigger 2.0 good luck, that should
arrive end October / begin November in The Netherlands. Anyway why don't
you call Yendor to ask what's in stock, the phone number is 010-4331710
( ask for richard ). You could also try The Cave in Utrecht if memory
serves me right .

The grimoire is highly recommended if you want to play a mage/shaman,
it's still a good purchase if you don't.

Glad that I could help ( I hope ),
