Welcome to the Shadowrun Archive

Well, look what crawled out from this dusty rock I picked up in this desolate parking lot... you're right; it's a copy (for how much I was able to recover) of a circa 2000AD version of the Shadowrun Archive.

It goes without saying that the content is geared towards Shadowrun 2nd or 3rd edition, as that was what we ran at the time. Also, I'm 100% sure no external link works anymore, Internet rot took hold and the new megacorps made sure we didn't have control of our content anymore, but... I digress.

Here it is, for all of us that remember what THWAP means ;)
