This is an tribute to the 1st and 2nd edition Shadowrun books. | |
Back in the late 80's and early 90's the books had a BBS kind of | |
look to them. For me nothing says this like an old style Gopher | |
site, the predesessor to the World Wide Web. The only problem with | |
Gopher sites is there is no way to let people comment on the page. | |
At least not with out breaking things. | |
All of the information you find on this page is grabbed from other | |
pages on the WWW. Some is even copy and pasted for now. I will | |
provide links to those site below and give them full credit for | |
everything here. Just consider Jackpoint like the fictional one, | |
a distributed peer-to-peer. While we are not a VPN or encrypted in | |
any way, we are here to provide information those that don't have | |
access to the real Jackpoint. | |
Enjoy | |

Introduction: | |
Shadowrun is a role playing game that was first launched in 1989 by | |
FASA Games. It is set in a near future, fictional alternative | |
universe where cybernetics and magic reign. Powerful mega | |
corporations control everyday life and magic and classical fanasy | |
races have returned to the world. | |

On a personal note. Below you will find a few other Gopher sites. | |
I have also included a link to my DX Cluster (telnet) for my ham | |
radio hobby. | |

Gopher Stuff | |
I run a DX Cluster to monitor all the spots coming in for all | |
ham radio operators that are posting. The server is open to the | |
public but you must register your call sign with me before you | |
will gain access. I had to do so as I was getting thousands of | |
login attempts every day from bots trying to hack in. It was | |
more of an annoyance then anything. If you would like to use | |
this DX Cluster (running DXSpider) please email me your callsign | |
and I will email you back your password. | |
Thanks | |
