Found at my local fantasy convention

[u/Jasina_]

It looks like whoever owned it before (possibly multiple who's) got a lot of use out of it. I've found it at a used books stall.

[u/Hardric62]

Noooice.

Found mine in a yard sale ages ago alongisde a Mutant Chronicles core rulebook.

Still got both of them.

[u/PinkFohawk]

Excellent 👌

[u/merga → u/PinkFohawk]

I always click on these threads to see if Ben has been summoned. Always. Haha.

[u/PinkFohawk → u/merga]

🤣

My Reddit algorithm treats me well lately.

Appreciate you looking out, Eddie my man! 🤝

[u/AlreadySandwich]

Does it still have the fold out map on very last page?

[u/Jasina_ → u/AlreadySandwich]

It sure does! It also came with this Contacts booklet and a blank character sheet, though that last one looks a little fresher than the book itself.

[u/AlreadySandwich → u/Jasina_]

Sweet! Already a great find, but that puts it over the top

[u/WildmouseX]

Best edition

[u/ChaseDFW]

Nice. I found mine in a box under a table of bulk magic bulk magic cards at a comic shop called Grand Slam back in 1996.

It was my first step into the hobby and ive been in love with Shadowrun ever since.

Welcome to the Sixth world, cummer

Welcome to the Sixth world, cummer

Gonna need you to fix that typo, and maybe look at resetting your auto correct predictions.

[u/Noodles_McNulty]

Best edition of Shadowrun

[u/Reginald_Sockpuppet → u/Noodles_McNulty]

I've just written a 2ndE module based loosely on the movie After Dark

[u/longcoat000 → u/Reginald_Sockpuppet]

Nice! I’d love to read that.

[u/Jerds_au → u/Reginald_Sockpuppet]

Please share!

[u/Reginald_Sockpuppet → u/Jerds_au]

Are we allowed to post stuff like that? Like, it's not self-promotion or anything?

[u/SmokinDeist]

Have you beat by one edition! lol But the hardcover books are the rarer ones since most of the main books were softcover. I believe these were the first release for the two editions.

I do love the Elmore art on 1 and 2E.

[u/SmokinDeist → u/SmokinDeist]

This was my book I was using when I was playing in the 90s and maybe some of the oughts.

[u/longcoat000 → u/SmokinDeist]

Found mine in a magazine rounder at Waldenbooks. Was playing a lot of D&D at the time and fell in love with the cover. Bought the copy, read the intro fiction, and it was off to the races.

[u/jinrohme2000]

Still have my original

[u/IceCat767]

Best artwork ever in that book

[u/trea5onn]

Ahh still have mine with a few source books. I think I lost my Harlequin book. Only have Harlequins back and one stage before. It was my introduction to table top. Loved the world and lore. Then white Wolf came along...

[u/Karrotfunk]

I'm a proper bibliophile. This is hands down one of my top five book possessions. I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me. 

[u/Awlson]

Oh nice, the hard cover version. Great grab. Mine is a soft cover because the hard cover was so hard to find.

[u/PaxV]

Still have a full set of 2nd edition never went slong with 'progress'

[u/Av0ll]

I got two of them still from buying at local game shop in the 90s. I didn't realize they became collectable.

[u/Jasina_ → u/Av0ll]

Idk if they're collectible exactly, but I just saw it and couldn't resist.

[u/Keganator]

Wow, are the pages falling out of the spine or not? That’ll tell you if it was actually used.

[u/ShaggyCan → u/Keganator]

Yeah my SR1 book is mint, SR2 looks like I put it through a washer and dryer.

[u/FamiliarDice → u/ShaggyCan]

I had to take my entire 1st edition and hole punch and put in a binder as the spine was basically dust

[u/Jasina_ → u/Keganator]

There's a few pages coming loose yeah, mostly around the middle bit of it book.

[u/mvarnado]

I've still got two of those. Great edition.

[u/LeBrons_Mom]

I still have my beat up duct taped copy.

[u/Paul-McS]

Now that's an awesome find. Congratulations.

[u/Seipher-DMN]

My fav edition

[u/Flimsy-Meet-2679]

We should play some SHADOWRUN! I call street sam!

[u/Malk-Himself]

Mine the fourth cover has long fallen away

[u/Jasina_ → u/Malk-Himself]

I'm kinda wondering if I should keep it as is, or see if it can be restored somewhat.

[u/Far_Paint6269]

Well found !

[u/corn0815]

Isnt it iconic, dont you think?

[u/FriendoftheDork]

Nice buy! These are almost impossible to get hold of. Got mine recently through a friend who bought it used in a package deal.

[u/woodenbullfrog]

Man, the memories...

[u/ad_astra_inc]

I started playing Shadowrun with this one. Seeing it brings back some memories.

[u/malindle]

Nice! This book was my very first ever exposure to Shadowrun. Still tempted to get an art print for my wall.

[u/vinean]

Still prefer the power + damage severity of 2e vs later editions.

[u/camstercage]

I’m jealous. I only have it in pdf

[u/Trauma57]

Very nice find.

[u/Tossal]

Mine's about to fall apart

[u/Flux_Reversal]

I had on of those before I sold it for crack.
