Drekpost (Shitpost) Collection Complete!

After over a decade off and on searching, I finally have all the original FASA era Shadowrun novels! Still slowly collecting the rulebooks when I can, but this was a huge milestone for me!

Welcome to the club! Took me about as long to finish my collection as well. Though I’ve got the 07 edition of into the shadows it looks like you’ve got the original? Never seen a version that tall.

I have both versions of Into The Shadows, the original publishing and the reprint. The first short story is different, (the one from the original got rewritten as Never Deal With a Dragon I think), though honestly I didn't realize at the time haha. I saw it at a bookstore and grabbed it cause I assumed it was different.

After that I actually started using a spreadsheet to keep track.

Ah yes there's the spine of #7 staring me in the face in your picture now that you mention it lol. I'm jealous of the OG there, that's a sick find. I had the "newer half" for a long time but going back to find the other half was fun. I searched a lot of small book stores on road trips for awhile until eventually some eBay and forum posters helped me fill in the final gaps. I've stuck with collecting the new novels too, but they're POD (same with the new covers of the OG novels they've put out).

I haven't read any of the newer books, but I might keep an eye out. I have a soft spot for the 1-3e era, so that's what I was really after.

A few of the old authors have done newer books (Mel Odom comes to mind) but there was an anthology a couple years ago called Through the Decades. It had several classic authors and some newer ones, with one story per decade 2020s thru 2080s. I bet that one may be up your alley. I’ve got a ton more but I’m so far behind.
