I doubt this would be a good idea. The way web sites spring up and
disappear, you're bound to have some good ones missed from the book and
have some vanished sites listed in the books. And who's to say what gets
listed in the book? A current mediocre site might turn into a great big
site, worth several hundred hits a day after the book is published.
Likewise, listing the URL to an important site (once again, who defines
what's an important site?) that might suddenly change -- Blackjack's Page
has moved, as has The Digital Mage's -- or vanish (how many links are still
out there that go to Doctor Doom's Defunct Dark Tower?) would be a waste of
time.
Rather, have a Shadowrun Links page on the www.FASA.com website that's
updated every so often, and mention the FASA web site in the new book. It
would be much more easier to keep that current, rather than realizing that
in the sixth printing of SR3 that nine of the ten URLs mentioned in the
"Shadowrun Web Sites" section all come back with "404 - Not Found"
messages.
