Well, lately there's been a lot of discussion about Shadowbeat on this
list, so the general opinion would seem to be that it's a nice book for
a background but it's not a necessity. I think that Harlequin's Back is
a great adventure collection but I don't have RA:S or Germany book
though Renraku Arc is on my list of sourcebooks that need to be bought.
Anyway, I just wanted to ask how easy it is to get Shadowrun sourcebooks
where you are were it some part of the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia
or any other place. Judging from what I have heard it would seem that
most of you really have to hunt those books when here in Finland you
know where
to get them. We don't have gamestores than just in a few cities but we
can easily order from them at low shipping costs if we are (like I am)
too far away in a small city.
The point is that we have few but good
gamestores where you can find almost anything you possibly need. Usually
they
have it in stock and if they don't, they order it. Only downside is
that it tends to take some time for new products to get here and the
cost gets up on the way. Sourcebooks that cost 15 US dollars have here
price tags of 100 Finish marks which I believe is something like 20 US
dollars. But the point is that I could easily get any Shadowrun product
that's "in stock" and a lot of the older material too. How is it where
you live?
