I played SR 1 -3, but skipped over SR4. I just bought SR5 and am looking for a complete list of 5th edition books and novels printed to date. I've dug through BattleShop and am having a time digging through the 4th books trying to figure out what's 5th and what is for the old 4th. Is there a list somewhere or would an awesome GM mind typing me a list of both PDF and hardcopy sourcebooks and novels?

It's simple, really.
SR5 Core
Assassin's Primer
Coyotes
One could make a case for Gun H(e)aven 3 and Storm Front too, but those aren't explicitly 5th edition books.
-
Don't forget Splintered State
-
And any Season 5 Missions that are availabile.
-
Firing Line and Sprawl Wilds both contain 4 previously unreleased Convention Missions I believe, that are dual statted for sr4 and sr5.
There was also Gun H(e)aven
Frankly, a lot of the books for SR4 are still viable, as the fluff/story of the world just continues, and the stats of any NPCs in those books are fairly easy to convert.

Especially if you run them through the conversion guide.

Yes, I'd forgotten Splintered State. The others are sort of on that border line between 4th and 5th editions, so I didn't bother listing them. There's so much you can do with converting 4th edition stuff, it'd be like listing almost all of the 4th edition books.

Thanks everyone... You would think they would have a breakdown of the 5th books on the website. I'm getting a huge tax return (10K!!!) and wanted to go ahead and get all the 5th books that were out and fill in holes with some 4th books that I could convert. It seemed like every time I looked around I found another 5th book, but then noticed that some were pre-order. I guess it's just my Hacker Brain (wants to list and sort everything) that wanted a confirmed list of available books. Thanks a ton chummers!

Since you included novels in your request, the short stories Another Rainy Night and Valdivostok Gauntlet are 5th compatible. They come with 5th ed stats.
-
I thought Another Rainy Night only had 4th edition stats with it. Checked the description and it list it as compatible with 20th anniversary, can someone confirm?

4th edition and 20th anniversary edition are the same...not sure I'm understanding your question... :-\
-
The comment was that another rainy nights was 5th compatible. My understanding was it only had 4th edition games stats in it. I was wondering if my understanding was incorrect?

Ahhh...ok, my bad. I *think* Patrick developed 5th edition stats, but they have not been released, AFAIK.
-
oh, nice. Thanks for the info.

Oh, I thought the 5th ed update had been released. Sorry, my mistake then. I don't want to speak for him, but I'd try just hitting up Patrick Goodman with an email or PM. I'm sure he'll send you the stats.
-
For SR5 stats for Thomas and Lydia, Sail Away Sweet Sister is in the final days of editing and stuff. It will have the SR5 stats for those two. For Alice and Teresa...we'll see. I have no plans to update them at this time, but that might change.
-
Thanks Patrick...great to hear that SASS is in the last stages of development...looking forward to this one.

Well, to be fair, most of the hold up is my fault. I've been dragging my feet on the game info. Bad writer, naughty writer! No cookie for you....
