Shadowrun: Street Legends Hardcover

Catalyst

Swap Bullets between shots, or Shots between bullets!

At the end of a run, you’ve either got a good story to tell, or you’re dead. Live long enough, and you’ll get enough stories to fill a book, and some of them will be killer. There is a certain class of people out on the streets that runners love to talk about, the people at the center of the stories swapped late at night over a round of wiper fluid hooch. Some of them are good, some of them are lucky, and some of them are among the most powerful creatures of the Sixth World. All of them, in their own way, are legends.

Street Legends profiles forty renowned figures in the Sixth World, including JackPoint stalwarts such as Haze, Kane and Puck; classic runners like Serrin Shamander and Tommy Talon; and powerful behind-the-scenes figures including Lugh Surehand, Nadja Daviar, and the great dragon Lofwyr. Learn about hunting vampires with Martin De Vries, breaking into impossible places with The Smiling Bandit, and trying to put a face to the elusive Hans Brackhaus.

Street Legends contains short fiction bringing these characters to life, as well as text describing each person and what makes them a legend. Also, each and every person profiled has complete game stats. Even the dragons.

Shadowrun: Dirty Tricks

Catalyst

Digging in the Dirt

Politics is only a dirty word when it's not working for you. For shadowrunners, politics aren't about debates and position papers they're about taking some of the money people are throwing around.

During election season, when power is up for grabs, people are willing to do just about anything to get a piece of the pie. If you can help them get what they want, they've got a job for you. It may be peeking in the windows of the rich and famous. Or finding dirt on the opposition (or making some up). Or, if things get really desperate, ensuring the other guy doesn't win because he's too busy taking a dirt nap.

How much money you take in and how dirty your fingers get is up to you and your desire to not see the stars above you when you sleep. You'll probably have to make some compromises along the way, but since when has life in the Sixth World or politics been any different?

Dirty Tricks provides details on the ins and outs of political shadowruns, as well as close-up looks at some of the electoral hotspots around the globe. From dragon attacks in the Caribbean to the long-awaited vote on making the Ork Underground an official district of Seattle, Dirty Tricks is full of news, updates, and game information players need to get deeper in the twisted world of Shadowrun politics.

Shadowrun: Colombian Subterfuge

Catalyst

Fight on All Fronts

If you're going to win in modern warfare, you have to use every weapon in your arsenal. Guns, tanks, and bombs are great, but if that's all you put into play, you're going to lose. Information and propaganda have been a major part of war efforts for more than a century, and falling behind in those areas will doom you.

Amazonia has gone to war with Aztlan, which is supported by the greatest public relations machine the world has ever seen. Ready to fight fire with fire, Amazonia has brought in Horizon to sway public opinion, and possibly the tide of the war, to their side. To make their case, they'll need stealthy runs, fast moves, and quick thinking. And they'll need it fast, because Aztlan is pressing hard and not inclined to show any mercy.

Catalyst

Shadowrun RPG: Forbidden Arcana

Catalyst

Magic is wild. Magic is undisciplined. You can try to impose order and understanding on it, but that's just the surface. Underneath is chaos, an erratic heart beating to a staggering rhythm. You don't control it, any more than a surfer controls a twenty-meter-tall wave; you don't direct the wave, you ride it, capture a piece of its power, and hope to survive.

If you do it right, though, you catch a portion of unimaginable power—power those who control the Sixth World don't want you to have. All the more reason to push past their boundaries and grab it! Forbidden Arcana offers dozens of different ways for Awakened characters in Shadowrun to harness that power and make themselves a mana-slinger like no other.

From new ways to distinguish spellcasters of different traditions and more chaotic methods for summoning spirits, to options for Awakened characters who have mastered their craft, Forbidden Arcana shows players how to break out of conventional molds, use mana in new ways, and become true street legends riding the growing wave of Sixth World mana.
