Don't forget there is also the Enhanced Fiction line of short stories for your quick Shadowrun fiction hits. Several stories coming down the pipe in the relatively near future, if schedule holds.

Anyone know if the Enhanced Fiction (old or new) will be getting 5th edition stats?

I got lucky finding some of the (wiz kid) novels in a local book shop for rrp most of the ones I find else where are going for 3 times rrp or more.
I was only able to find only 2 ebooks for Kindle plus Shadowrun Returns came with an ebook.

There's precious little "old" enhanced fiction. I've submitted some errata for Another Rainy Night, to fix a couple of errors I made statting out Lydia Bowden; those are all 4th edition stats. I don't see restatting a couple of those characters for SR5, or the limited bits of gear I had in there, but if I'm asked to do so, I will.

That said, Sail Away Sweet Sister is the long-overdue sequel to ARN, and it's going to be dual-statted for SR4 and SR5. The two main characters from ARN, Thomas McAllister and Lydia Bowden, will be statted out for SASS, along with some new characters.

As one of the contributors to the Shadowrun Returns Anthology, I'm curious...whatcha think? There have been boatloads of reviews about the game, and to my knowledge, one review of the anthology.

I loved the anthology. It definitely made being a backer at that level worth it. I thought all of the stories were pretty good from top to bottom. All of them save the Talon story seemed to have some connection to the game, which was cool (Aside: I enjoyed the Talon story, but if there was a game connection, it went over my head). I know when I posted about it on the shadowrun.com board, a few people commented that some of the stories didn't quite mesh with the game story (Jordan even points out that there may be a few inconsistencies due to changes made to the game story at the last minute), but I thought everything hung together well. I guess I just assumed that not EVERYTHING the characters in the game were saying was chip-truth helped me see past any incosistencies. I think my top two stories involved Dresden and McKlusky were awesome since they greatly changed my perspective on both of the characters.

EDIT: Just checked the anthology and I'm happy to report that I also enjoyed your short story, Patrick. Nice little self-contained run with the requisite amount of subterfuge and betrayal. I really liked the main character and his backstory. It's always entertaining coming up with ideas for Awakened occupations in the 6th World.

If you like Seamus, you'll need to pick up Sail Away Sweet Sister when it drops.

Just finished reading Blowing Sky High.
I have a warm spot in my heart for Dwarf Magicians (my first Shadowrun character was a Dwarf mage detective, shame everyone else was playing combat monsters)
I am really enjoying the Shadowrun Returns Anthology.
I look forward to reading more of your Shadowrun fiction.

I would love to read the anthology, however after paying to upgrade my version to the Deluxe, Steam has failed to deliver that extra material and hasn't responded to my support ticket.

Maybe you should contact HBS instead, lazlo. They can help you set up through their website.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

The last novels came out at the end of SR3.  We'll see what the new novels have to show.

Due to a small spelling error involving the transposition of a d and m from The Desk on High, the writing staff is now doing a retro piece as they were told to do a novel on Technodancers and Meckers.(ger) ;)

It's also available on Amazon. The DTRPG package gets you, I believe, the ereader versions and a PDF of the story. It's fun stuff; Olivier did a nice job.

Addendum: It's also up on Barnes & Noble for the Nook.
