AH: No problem, I certainly see how it may appear, it just gets a little frustrating.
A lot of money and time went into rescuing this stuff from the landfill. Most venues I tried to get the message out on were skeptic and in some cases downright mean. I kept trying, and thankfully there are now some fans who came out ahead. It's all good. |

You do have to realize that it did sound very funny. Basically, I wanted to be sure this wouldn't backlash. I've done my own independent verification and it's all cool, folks. Enjoy.

Frosty: Art of Shaodwrun was an over-sized book displaying some of SR's better art...which didn't sell well at all. I think there were less copies of the art books sold than ED novels.

There's still ED stuff?
*grumble grumble* I'd die to know what was all in those boxes. Here's some more support for compiling this stuff for general consumption. If there's anything I can do to help (not that I have any real skills or anything) I'm all for it. --PenAgain |

I seem to recall reading that in the case of D&D much of this sort of material was lost when Gygax was canned. Bit of a shame.
It would be good if a website could be put up to archive this material before it's scattered to the 4(?) corners of the globe. Anyone know everybody who got boxes of gear? (An archive would only require copies!) Save Shadowrun's heritage now! (and Earthdawn's too!) |

I'm sorry to report that I am unable to simply 'give' the stuff away any longer, well at the moment anyway. If you can drive out to Kalamazoo, MI and pick stuff up, I'll sell you the stuff by the BOX and a pre-negociated price far below the one outlined below. First some first served though, I've been screwed around WAY too much when dealing with this stuff.
I was trying to reduce the initial load from Chicago, so anything I have at this point cost me money in storage, transport, and labor. I am going to sell some of the development materials at what I think is a nominal and fair price. All folders are as they were in the FASA files with one exception. Any personal or financial documents will be removed just before the item is shipped. I will not scan or photograph pages as that will consume too much time. The price will be $25 per 'project package', and I will give price breaks on multiple packages. Also, you pick the shipping method, and pay actual shipping & packaging prices. First up for grabs will be posted at MEchJock.com or send me an Email as this thread could quickly become a violation of the TOS. Note: If there is anything you are specifically looking for, let me know, I'll go pull it. |

Sinc you are selling the stuff can you ship it? Most of use would probably be willing to pay the shipping and handling charges.

Just to answer the question for you (being bossy and all)
The previous post DOES say that shipping is an option, and that the buyer picks the method and pays actual shipping costs. --PenAgain Almost Useful. |

Meanwhile, on the other extreme of the continent...
*Cries uncontrollably* Why? WHY!? On a second, more serious thought, I completely support the idea of "Save SR's Heritage". This could be Dumpshock's Best Fan Project Ever. Gamers of the world, unite! ;) |

By the way: Though it could no longer be true for SR, it seems that FASA's Hecate *was* Alachia.

Nothing in the first lot really piques my interest, but I really REALLY like that you're doing this. Please keep us notified on here when you post your next lot up for sale, esp. that Dunkie's Will one if you didn't give it out already...
And I will do my best to scan and release anything I get unless where doing so would violate copyright laws, and if not I'll at least let you guys in on the juicy bits :P The Abstruse One |

Ranger: I think your people showed up. There were 3 pairs of people who walked away with about 25-30 boxes of stuff.

Cool. Just got the email report. They say there was quite a bit of chaff, but quite a bit of quality loot as well. Expect updates soon (it's summer and Chicago students have a month before term begins to read, scan, and chortle over the finds)

Son....of a bitch. I wish I had been able to make it up there....not that I would have been able to fit too much in my tiny little Saturn. Still, if anyone finds anything interesting, please do share. :)
