I'd like to propose a to keep a collection of links and descriptions of various shadowrun websites. This would also be a good place to pimp your own website to the rest of the posters and recommend pages.
Taken from my links section: Official Shadowrun Website After the Shadowrun Product Line was taken over from FASA by Wizkids, LLC they made sure that Shadowrun would get a better official representation on the Internet. They got the International Gaming Playboy Adam Jury, of Dumpshock infamy, to design and maintain the website. BadKarma Relatively unknown to me, but it has the potential to be a very comprehensive and very detailed Shadowrun page with information both Players and GMs. Blackjack's Shadowrun Page Blackjack is one of the most well-respected individuals amongst the Shadowrun Online Community. Without being attached to any group of people he has brought forth a lot of information for Players and GM's alike. After a hiatus of about 2 years, he's back and has updated his page again. Everyone thought he was dead...funny that. Bull's Place on the Web This must be the place on the web that has the most clashing, ugly colours ever seen on a Shadowrun page. Not only does it have handy tips and articles about roleplaying in general, it also sports an equal amount of good articles for Shadowrun. For instance "Target: Cleveland". Dumpshock.com This is the first stop you make on the Internet when looking for Shadowrun material as it functions as a portal to many shadowrun resource sites, as well because of the fact that they provide you with the Dumpshock Forums [DSF], formerly known as Deep Resonance Forums [DRF], which is the biggest gathering of questions and answers regarding Shadowrun on the Internet. They were being regarded as the Almost Official Shadowrun homepage by most, before Shadowurn was picked up from FASA by Wizkids, LLC. Dumpshock Timeline Explorer This is a brilliant page I just bumped into, which gives you the possibility to peruse the timeline of the shadowrun universe. It has hundreds of entries, taken from sourcebooks, novels, adventures and magazines. This is an absolutely must-see for any Shadowrun GM. ShadowFAQ This is a webpage mainted for big changes and or answering those prevalent questions about Shadowrun. Currently there's of course the big news of Wizkids, llc's takeover of the Shadowrun product line and the closing of FASA Corporation. But there is also loads of information about where to find info on Shadowrun, music suggestions, Earthdawn/Shadowrun information and seperate first edition, second edition and third edition frequently asked question files. Enjoy. Herkimer's Lair Dvixen's little party place where she keeps all of the errata for Shadowrun books that have been published, plus all the FAQ's for the several mailing lists being hosted by Dumpshock. Also, there's a good link page, her own personal rant section, and a section on GenCon's past and present. Plastic Warriors Plastic Warriors is a collection of so-called net.sourcebooks, all free for download, which is maintained by Gurth. It has a wide selection of free net.sourcebooks and software and one of the biggest things they publish for shadowrun is the Neo-Anarchist's Guide to Everything Else, a comprehensive collection selection of articles on shadowrun related issues. Shadowland 6 One of the most intricate and innovative shadowrun website around. This website has been built using a lot of java-applets and some serious innovation to bring to you a comprehensive, multi-user system where people can create pages on the fly and post, as a user, the content that they think is useful for shadowrun as a game. I suggest you at least check out their website, if only for the niftiness with which it operates. Shadowrun Image Archive I love this website. I love everything about it. It's content - meticulously and perfectly scanned covers of shadowrun books - is of a very high quality, and site design is superb. This is a recommendation to anyone who is looking for some prime Shadowrun images and artwork. Hell, most of the artwork you'll find on my own website has been stol*...errr, borrowed from Stefan. Shadowrun Webring This is the home of the Shadowrun Webring, maintained by Lady Jestyr. At the time of typing the webring is laying dormant and are not accepting any more members as they are porting their systems over from Yahoo to a Dumpshock.com hosted system. Shadowrun Archive The Shadowrun Archive is literally just that; an archive to which you can upload and link things of your own design. It's maintained by Paolo Marcucci and Adam Jury, who also host a couple of columns on the Shadowrun Archive. There is a lot to see here, and a lot of interactive, dynamic things as well. Also, it sports one of the funniest Shadowrun Columns: The C.L.U.E. files. The Shadowrun Supplemental The Shadowrun Supplemental is a net.book compiled by Adam Jury which contains a lot of articles by a lot of different writers. Everything raning from Highlander conversion rules, to characters, to GM hints as well as location descriptions. It's a periodical, and it's been nominated for many industry awards so far. Definitely a must read. The Helix This is the home of the EuroSB [short for the European Sourcebook] which is being developed by Mikael Brodu [aka Otaku Mike] and Stephan Meijerhof [aka SM], both regulars on the Dumpshock Forums. They used the network of the DSF in order to find the people willing to help work on the EuroSB and make it reality. Next to that they also have some other stuff up relating to Shadowrun, like the tremendously entertaining interviews with some of the freelancers and writers of the Shadowrun line. Further additions English Official SR Duels Website Wizkids own SR Duels website. Good stuff, but not much good for the RPG directly, though. Interim Shadowrun Character Generator by McMackie Motherfucking-w00t, j0! Winterhawk's Virtual Magespace Solid writing. Not much use for your own campaign, but a must read, at least once. Raygun's Shadowrun and Firearms Website 'nuff said. German: Shadowrun - die offiziele deutsche Shadowrun Site The official german Shadowrun site. A shitload of stuff here. Fun and interesting if you can speak and read German. Otherwise it's just a collection of funny words and some art. Techno Shamans Again, a ridiculously goodlooking Shadowrun website, with heaps and heaps of content, but it's in German, and so I don't understand shit. It looks really interesting. Come on people, if the Germans can do it, so can the rest of the world, right!? Runner's Place Again. German. Not much of the Sense. But a lot of the Good Looks. Silent Running Ditto. Shatten News Ridiculous amounts of content. Much the Germanoid language, though. Credstick Ditto. Soykaf Ditto. Runners, Inc. This website makes me want to cry. It's so good, but so German. Tunnelwelt More of the crying. More of the hatred and self-loathing. Ergo; more of the German websites that rock Eggs on Toast. |

Why do I get a mental image of AH as the Indian from that old anti-pollution commercial. One tear slowly sliding down his face.
If it's any consolation, DV8 did fail to put his own site on the list (except as a passing mention). |

I appreciate the plug, DV8--just one little correction. It's "Winterhawk," not "Winternight." I am not an evil secret organization bent on world destruction. ...at least, I don't think I am... :D |

Alright, I'll bite:
Welcome to the Shadows It hasn't seen an update in a while (I'm trying...), but it's there nonetheless. Still a bunch of run ideas there and some of my works of fan fiction. SR13 |

Shit, I knew that! Force of habit, I suppose.
Well, step one in convincing others, is convincing yourself! ;) |

I've always been really fond of this one, although there's never any updates (maybe I could convince him to put it up for adoption). Scandinavia in Shadowrun I used to go here a lot, but this place seems deader than dead. Big Knobi Klub Question for ya, DV8...you said
In relation to Blackjack's site. Back? It says Last Updated On July 18th, 2001... |

Hmmm, that's odd. A couple of months ago there were some updates if I remember correctly. There was a big stink about it on the old forums.

The correct URL for the Timeline Explorer is http://timeline.dumpshock.com. While the one you have works now, it's not guaranteed in the future :)

@DV8 Love you to man! See I don't need to pimp my site. You do it for me, all the time and everywhere :)
Not to mention how out of place it will be when Shadows of Europe comes around. I read the four chapters of the novell he wrote, think it was pretty ok even thou it is highly annoying that he puts in swedish phrases here and there. |

The author was actually invited to join in the EuroSB project when it originally kicked off but he turned the offer down since his Scandinavia did not match some of the canon information and he wasn't willing to compromise his vision. Pity because I liked quite a few of his ideas. |

I like the suggestions so far. (Some more than others, of course.) Anyone else got some website suggestions?

Well, since the list includes english and german sites, I thought I might add a couple more, on different languajes:
Spanish: The Spanish Shadowrun Ring, which includes most of the Spanish websites. La Fortaleza de las Sombras, the page which hosts the ring, is quite nice itself. The Nodo 666 is my web, and is included in the webring, but is probably the biggest of them all. Sombras de Seattle is as big as mine, more or less, and has quite some interesting material. In fact, it's from where I took the skeleton for building mine. ;) Portuguese: I only know Drago's Page, but my link isn't working any more. It might have been taken off the web, or maybe not. Maybe a search through some searchers can find it. :? Edit: added Sombras de Seattle's link. |
