If some of you will recall the "Dumpshock Datahaven" project, which as far as I can tell seems to have died. (If a PDF was ever released please point me towards it) And when reflecting upon it I was struck by an idea, what if we were to take the concept off a in character way of making articles on shadowruning, and instead of making a online fanzine that imitates a forum-like way of sharing media, why not simply add a subsection of the DS forums for that purpose?
Already plenty of dumpshockers have shared their creations, be them rules, supplements, or even fiction on the dumpshock forums. Why not find ways of encouraging this to create a thriving, user-run channel for the shadowrun universe. It would be self sustaining, and would eliminate the massive amounts of work required to conglomerate a fanzine.
How many times has someone said, or thought "I fell just like a shadow talker" when going through some of the topics in DS? I know I have and haven even seen a fair amount of people say so on the threads, creating a thread for specific in-character advice and discussion, mimic a data haven on the matrix would certainly bring the feeling home.
Anyways, that’s my idea feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad.
