So, for a variety of reasons, I haven't kept up with Shadowrun tabletop in a good long while. It's been tough to find players, my local friends mostly prefer Pathfinder, you know the deal. I had brief luck organizing a local group a few years ago, but family stuff dragged me away from it. Long story short, I own the core book, and a PDF of Street Grimoire that I got as a giveaway, and that's more or less it besides some adventure books. During S4A I had a full set, that I've since sold off to make room on my bookshelf.

By my reckoning, not including adventure/campaign books, I'm missing:

• Run Faster
• Run & Gun
• Chrome Flesh
• Data Trails
• Rigger 5.0

For PDFs, that's ~$125, IIRC. If I went for hard copies, I'd have to pick up Street Grimoire as well, and that would be ~$300. Either is a bit hefty. For those who have had more time playing 5th Ed than I have, are the side books worth it? Do you expect a 6th Edition to launch soonish?
