An Updated April Fools’ Repository, It’s time we had a new central library for these Options

[JanessaVR]

Hello.

I know we’ve had some posts for these in the past, but not all the links for those work and I think some things might have been lost over time. So, I’m putting up everything I have in my personal collection and would invite anyone who has any files that I’m missing to please PM me and I’ll arrange to have them posted here.

Thanks,

Janessa

I added some links and descriptions to the wiki.

But it looks like I missed a few from your list.

I wonder if we can find any of these still on shadowrunrpg.com or catalystgamelabs.com as I'd be more comfortable using up their bandwidth when linking to these on the wiki.

I'll have a look. Right now they're on my personal MediaFire account.

EDIT:

Ok, I've added in the ones I was missing and uploaded them to my MediaFire account as well.

I just added shadowrun d20 to the wiki too. https://shadowrun.fandom.com/wiki/Shadowrun_d20

I'll try and add the rest that I didn't know about from your list on there later. But also, super thanks for compiling this. I feel like there is so much extended SR media that will be lost unless we document them on the wikia.

For example, do you guys know what happened to the last ROC SR novel, Private Agenda? Because I do! And I made an article about it on the wikia. https://shadowrun.fandom.com/wiki/Source:Private_Agenda

If you guys have any other obscure factoids it'd be much appreciated if you tossed it up there. Or even flesh out articles or add new stuff that hasn't been touched yet. There is just SO much SR lore and it's damn near impossible to find so much of it. So having it on the open and searchable website would probably help everyone...

Is there any more info on this lost SR Movie from back in 2011?

What's the name? I have copies on an old hard drive of Competition Cut, Last Team Standing, and Night's Work.

EDIT: Hmm. Is this post a victim of TL;DR sickness?

The links were dead in the archived copy I found, but IIRC, they were just Rick Rolls.

But if there's something else to preserve, by all means, please let me know. For the missing years, I don't know if something wasn't done for April Fools' that year of if I just don't have it.

There was at some point a (deliberately) laughably low-budget and low-quality “Shadowrun” movie posted, but I have no memory at this point of whether it was from the April Fools message or something else.

Edit: I’m pretty sure I was thinking of this thread from 2003, so not the April Fool’s reference.

The only thing with regards to "a movie" that I'm aware of with some level of being "official" is the actual promo video from 1990:

Everything else I know of is strictly fan made
