Hey everyone,
I only recently registered and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm a long time gamer and frequent poster on RPGnet and elsewhere. A good portion of my regular game group, myself included, has been on a break to welcome new additions to our families. We are looking to get things rolling again this year in late January now that all the babies are sleeping through the night. We've been playing Savage Worlds pretty regularly now for the last couple of years and, as a GM, I'm ready for a break from that system. Love it as I do, sometimes you need to stretch other parts of your brain.
I haven't played Shadowrun in some 20 years (since just before 2nd edition was released), but I've been rediscovering it lately and have convinced myself that it would be fun to run an episodic, if irregular, game. I've considered going to SR4A, but with the announcement of 5th edition, I'm convinced that if we do this, we're going to use the 2nd edition rules. I have a small collection of 1st/2nd edition sourcebooks and adventures and want to make the most use of that – at least until I see what 5th edition has to offer.
So does anyone know if there are any good SR2 resource sites out there? I've been having a devil of a time finding anything that pre-dates 3rd edition. I'm mainly looking for things like cheat sheets and other aids to help run the game. Also, where can I find good resources for building NPC/Contact backgrounds?
Thanks for the help! Looking forward to an interesting 2013.
Tom
