About FanPro
Shadowrun is the creation of many people, and obviously not all the information that goes behind the scenes is not public knowledge - here we try and peel back the black curtain and show you a little of what's going on behind the scenes, some design theory behind past and upcoming books, information on what conventions we'll be represented at, and a little bit of intel on the people behind the books. To start with, you can read brief staff biographies, and look at a list of upcoming events and conventions that will have official or sponsored Shadowrun events.
Conventions
FanPro typically attends two large conventions each summer; Origins and Gen Con. At each of these conventions we run over two dozen games, plus our What's Up with Shadowrun? and Shadowrun 101 seminars - and of course, have a booth jam-packed with the latest Shadowrun products and our classics. Look for Shadowrun Missions events at small and large cons in
the future!

The Developer's Say
A regular feature in Shadowrun, Third Edition books, The Developer's Say is the Line Developers place to do some 'official' talking about the product - a simple introduction, how it came to be, design theories, and that sort of thing. When a book hasn't had a Developer's Say column specifically, we've included the Introduction to give you a sneak peek of what's inside the pages!
