Can anyone tell me how Shadowrun came to be or where I can find information
about it.
I do not mean the timeline of the world in shadowrun, but how and when Tom
Dowd and the others stuck there heads together and created this outstanding
game

Thank you in advance!

If I remember correctly: Fasa was designing a standard cyberpunk RPG, but
during a trip to Japan Tom Dowd thought it was a bit lame with all the other
cyberpunk RPG out there or in the making, and in walked this "elf", which
made up his mind. The rest as you say, is history.

Now if only I could remember where I read all of the above.
