Well I did it, I finaly got the GM screen with the critter book for third edition. It was not easy.

First I tryed Ebay. Saw one and bid on it, but lost to some guy who paid $25.00 for it. I thought he was crazy...little did I know.

Next I checked the other online stores. Amazon has one being sold by a privet party for $195.00....No thanks. Then after a lot of searching I found a store on line that had it. They had no pic of it so I wrote and asked, is this third edition of second. The responce was it was third. I paid for it and shipping. When it arived I found that it was second edition and I just got screwed.

I tried to get my money back but that was a fruitless endever. I drove around to three game stores in my area and found that none of them had it...not one copy.

So I had almsot given up when a friend of mine told me that Shadowrun is really big in the UK right now, and maybe I could check out some on-line stores over there. I went on-line and found one in the UK that sold it to me and shipping to for only $4.99....the problem was, I paid for everything and put it on my Credit card, onyl to find that the money is not the same, so I paid more than I thought and my Credit card charged me a converstion fee.....

Any one know why this is so hard to find?
