Shadowrun 1e Reprint

Does anyone have any information about the CGL reprint of the SR1 core rulebook? Specifically, I’m looking to see when it comes out and the price point? Thank you.

Nobody? That’s surprising!

I don't know about the reprint, but a POD has been available on DriveThruRPG for a couple of years now.

Some replies on Reddit said they had copies available at gencon and should be available for general purchase this month or the next on their online store.

Unfortunately it's a scan (some people have noted some faint writing on some pages). And the cover for some reason does not have the same color I recall when I first bought the 1st edition of the game back in the early 1990's so I'm not sure what's going on there.

I'm conflicted about getting it. On the one hand it'll be a sudden hit of nostalgia instantly taking me back to when I first purchased the game and was buying all the novels that got me in a shadowrunning mood. On the other 2nd Edition fixed up a few of the problems with 1st Edition rules so is a more playable game, therefore the book will end up on the shelf and eventually forgotten about with me wishing for a 2nd Edition reprint (which will suffer the same fate).
