Hello. I've gotten into this game kinda late, and have lately been in scramble to get together all the third edition core rule books before 4th edition hits and they're all out of print (just in case). So far I have all except Magic in the Shadows, which I cannot find for the life of me.
I've checked the Shadowrun website and it's listed as being available in its 4th reprinting, but everywhere I go it's not available to order. I was able to find some used for sale on amazon.com for around $50.00 but I'd prefer not to pay that much unless I absolutely have to. So am I just being impatient and it will be on shelves again soon, or should I just suck it up and get a .pdf/pay $50? |

Check e-bay. There will be some who like the new version enough to pawn all their old books for more cash to spend on the new core books. Of all content in any SR edition, the core rulebooks have the least continued value after a new edition is released.
Whether it's better to buy/sell now or after SR4 hits the streets, I can't say, but I would expect all the old rulebooks to show up there sometime in the next month or so. |

I had a player looking for it about 9 months ago, who had an extremely hard time tracking down a copy also. If you need it right away, I'd grab the PDF. If you can wait, I imagine it'll be much cheaper on eBay in about 6-8 months.
Alternatively, it looks like Titangames has two used copies available at the moment. One for $10, the other for $20. Mind you, by the time you see this msg, both may be gone. |
