For everybody who doesn't know me, I'm Bobby Derie and I used to write for Shadowrun. Several weeks back I terminated all my contracts with Catalyst Game Labs, the current license holders of Shadowrun, and withdrew all of my drafts for upcoming products. I made a promise then that I would release these drafts free to the public at some point, and now seems like a good time.
For anyone that might be interested in what might have been, these are my original final drafts for the Shadowrun sourcebooks Runner's Toolkit, Sixth World Almanac, Corporate Guide and Attitude. I had to edit and proof them mostly on my own, so you know who to blame if you come across a typo or something that doesn't add up correctly.

Originally I was going to wait until the actual books were released, but recent events have tipped my hand. Specifically, I became aware that several of the drafts created to replace mine might actually contain material derivative from my original drafts. One of the authors confirmed to me privately that their instructions for creating their drafts contained explicit instructions based on novel elements from my original drafts. I addressed the situation to CGL, and received confirmation of the email but nothing was actually done about it.
