Shadowrun RPG: Sixth World - Beginner Box

Are you ready to stake it all?

The shadows grow darker and longer... They stem from enormous, world-spanning megacorps fighting for power, and in the process, they are choking humanity. In 2080, most of the planet has succumbed and crawls in the dust before their corporate overlords. They have to make money, so it doesn't matter who loses their life.

But in the darkest corners, a flame of defiance flickers. Spikes, mohawks, and tattoos. The ignored and forgotten refuse to be beaten down, and their will seals their fate. They may try to right the world's injustices, or build wealth and protect themselves, or perhaps they just want to set the world on fire and make some noise. No matter which path they take, they must fight to survive.

Shadowrun: Sixth World Beginner Box is a starter set for the role-playing game Shadowrun based on the 6th edition rules. The set makes it easy for you to quickly get started playing and learning the rules of Shadowrun. Shadowrun is a fantasy-cyberpunk role-playing game set in a dystopian near future where magic has returned.

The box contains quickstart rules, starting character sheets, an intro adventure, a poster, a set of equipment cards, and six dice with the Shadowrun logo.

In Shadowrun, you play 'shadowrunners', who are people living on the shadowy side of society, solving various tasks when they are out on 'runs' in the shadows using cyberware, magic, hacking, and other tricks.

The Shadowrun setting is unique, both in its way of combining fantasy and high tech, but also in that the world is 'alive' in the sense that over the last 30 years that Shadowrun has existed, the timeline has similarly advanced by 30 years.

Sixth World is the term for the age in which Shadowrun takes place with its blend of technology and magic. The book covers everything needed to create characters, and it covers the game's rules for combat, cyberware, spellcasting, hacking, and so on.

The rules system in Sixth World uses 6-sided dice, and you build dice pools through equipment, abilities, and skills, and with your pool, you must roll as many 5s and 6s as possible to achieve the best results. The rules in the 6th edition of Shadowrun are not fully compatible with Shadowrun 5th edition.
