Sourcebooks & Accessories | Adventures | Shadowrun -- Spanish Language Shadowland Magazine | Challenge Magazine Index for Shadowrun BROWSE MY SHADOWRUN ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK ShadowrunI remember in 1989, when Shadowrun first came out, I was extremely intrigued by the curious mix of cybertechnology and fantasy. I bought the rulebook, played out a few games, and then moved on to other RPGs. While it didn't work for my gaming group, there's no denying that Shadowrun belongs in the upper strata of Great RPGs. The writing style of the books -- with excerpts from various characters and juicy cyberslang -- draws you in, even if you don't play the game. An updated 2nd edition was released in 1992, and a third in 1998. I have listed the books in FASA code number order, which is also (mostly) chronological. Using the year of issue (1989, 1992, 1998), it should be pretty easy to figure out for which edition an accessory was written. This page contains the 7100 & 7900 series, which were the core rule books and sourcebooks. A great reference site (current through 2000) is Shadowrun Product Reviews.

1989 ... 286 pages ... FASA 7100 ... ISBN 1555601332 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Shadowrun, 1st edition (Hardcover)
"The Year is 2050 The blending of technology and human flesh began in the late 20th century. Interfacing the human mind with computers was just the first step. Implants that "jack up" reflexes and cybernetic replacements followed quickly. Then came the Awakening. A five-thousand-year lull in the flow of mystical energies subsided, and Magic returned to the world. Elves, Dwarfs, and Trolls assumed their true form, throwing off their human guise. In the world of 2050, the megaplexes are monsters casting long shadows. As shadowrunners, that's where you live, in the cracks between the giant corporate structures. When the megacorps want something done but they don't want to dirty their hands, it's a Shadowrun they need, and they come to you. Though your existence is not acknowledged by any governmental or corporate database, the demand for your services is high. You might be a Technomancer, sliding like a whisper through the databases of giant corporations, spiriting away the only thing of real value -- information. Or perhaps you are a Street Samurai, an enforcer for hire whose combat skills and reflexes make you the ultimate urban predator. Or perhaps a Mage, one with an ancient gift, the ability to wield and shape the magical energies that now surround the Earth. And that's exactly the kind of firepower you'll need if you get hired to make a Shadowrun..." 1989 ... Bob Charrette & Paul Hume & Tom Dowd ... 286 pages ... FASA 7101 ...

"The world is changed, some say Awakened. Magic has returned to the world, and elves, dwarfs, orks, and trolls have assumed their true forms. Creatures of the wild have changed as well, becoming things of myth and legend. And technology has changed people, too. No longer mere flesh, many humans have turned to artificial enhancements called cyberware, and become more than human. Modern man is stronger, smarter, and faster. ln the world of 2053, when the megacorporations want something done but don't want to dirty their hands, it's a shadowrun they need, and you they come to. Though your existence is not listed in any governmental or corporate database, the demand for your services is high. You might be a decker, sliding through the visualized databases of giant corporations, spiriting away the only thing of real value -- information. Or perhaps you are a street samurai, an enforcer whose combat skills make you the ultimate urban predator. Or perhaps a magician with the ability to wield the magical energies that surround the Earth. And that's exactly the kind of firepower you'll need to make a shadowrun...

"The year is 2060. Magic is as real as the mean streets of the mega-sprawls. Corporations call the shots while nailing each other through covert operatives in cutthroat competition.

"Sprawl Sites is an invaluable reference tool for the Shadowrun game universe. Gamemasters will find here an abundance of information and ideas for bringing to life the strange, wonderful, and horrifying urban Sprawl of the year 2050. The opening essay, Life On A Limb, sets the scene. How often might one see a Metahuman walking down the street, for instance, or how many times is the average guy likely to see a Dragon in his life? The chapter on Location Archetypes presents in detail more than 30 locations in the Sprawl, from residences and restaurants to chop shops and shadow tech stores. Each location also includes notes on what kinds of other characters would likely be present on the scene, as well as a map. Gamemasters will especially appreciate this section in those emergency moments when running an adventure requires them to come up with a location unexpectedly and fast. At the heart of the book is Sprawl Encounters, a section for generating random encounters, followed by core descriptions of more than 130 encounters typical of various streets and neighborhoods of the Sprawl. The gamemaster may sometimes use these verbatim, or other times may find that an encounter offers the germ of an idea for an altogether different incident. Some encounters are interconnected so that the gamemaster may interweave characters and plot threads over the course of time. Some also offer the basis for whole adventures, or even a series of adventures, that he might create for his players. Most of the encounters are open-ended enough that the gamemaster can flesh out the missing details to suit his particular Shadow-run group and gaming style. Contacts And Archetypes presents eight new Archetypes and 34 new Contacts to supplement those in the Shadowrun basic rules. In some cases, the gamemaster should note that weapons or cyberware carried by some of the Archetypes and Contacts are drawn from the Shadowrun source book, Street Samurai Catalog. Sprawl Law provides background on the laws and levels of law enforcement in different areas of the Sprawl. Also in this section is a list of legal offenses ranging from possession of a weapon to premeditated murder and the average fine and/or prison terms those offenses carry. Finally, the chapter on Credsticks and IDs explains the how and why of each, both the real and the forged kind. Sprawl Sites is intended as much as a source of ideas as a reference. Eveiy gamemaster and every Shadowrun game is unique. Elements that fit well into one campaign may be ill-suited to another. Thus will gamemasters feel free to make any and all changes necessary to make the hundreds of ideas in this book work for them and their players." ...from the Introduction 1989 ...

"Shadowtech is a sourcebook for use with the Shadowrun game system. Its purpose is twofold. First, it explains the science underlying the latest technological discoveries leading to the development of new bioware and cyberware as well as other useful equipment. It also provides descriptions and game information for many of those same high-tech items. Second, understanding how things work not only enriches the game ambiance, but also gives both players and gamemasters a better grasp on applications and limitations inherent in the new enhancements and gear their characters will now have at their disposal. The sciences covered in this book are bionetics, cybertechnology, eugenics/genetics, and chemistry. Each is divided into two sections: technology and equipment. The technology chapter examines the science in the context of current theory, general rules, techniques, and also investigates the breadth and limitations of advances made in that field of study. These sections are for gamemasters and interested players. They explain some of the science behind the mechanics, and present a more concrete picture of the level of technology available in the Shadowiun universe. An equipment chapter directly follows each technology section, with descriptions of items developed from that particular science. The equipment chapters introduce the game concepts of Availability Codes, Legality Ratings, and Street Indexes for "purchasable" merchandise." ...from the Introduction 1992 ...

Notes from author Chris Hepler "When we wrote the main body of Cyberpirates, Jenny and I aimed for something more than just a supplement dealing with 'lead-flying dockside wars.' We thought Shadowrun deserved well-researched supplements giving a glimpse of the rest of the world beyond North America and Europe (which the game universe had utterly ignored before that point). We were also out to show the reader a potential of role-playing that the average Shadowrun gamer never touched. Shadowrun is a world darker than our own, and a disturbing trend we saw in its players and writers was they rarely acknowledged behind all the whizbang technology and magic and history, this is a game about playing professional criminals. So while we gave the information on what your games would be like in the Caribbean, Philippines, and Africa, we wanted to make sure each of them highlighted a motivation for why your character could be a sympathetic protagonist...even though a shadowrunner team will often have at least one gun-toting psychopath that revels in property destruction, murder, kidnapping and other tools of the trade. Because if you take that seriously... if you role-play it with detail and intensity... this game becomes dark and disturbing indeed. And its story potential grows exponentially. Thus, we explored crime as a matter of reputation, political statement, and a method of survival. To our anger and surprise, much of our original text on drug smuggling was chopped and made vague by the editors without our consent or knowledge. About a third of the book follows this pattern. We realized that drugs might not have been appropriate subject matter for young audiences and in fact wanted a 'recommended for mature readers' notice. However, our major protestation is that we were not even asked to make the changes ourselves. If you read Cyberpirates out loud, you can find the tone-of-voice and flow-of-conversation consistency errors the editors added. JAS Hook's dorkiness was not our invention; Virgil's 'translation' was in plainer English; and Gingerbread's new deck chair (p. 31) was actually 'a rock of crack the size and weight of Arthur Vogel.' A few other choice bits never saw the light of day. For the chart-lover, we had prices in nuyen for cocaine, gold, hemp paper, rare animals, even human flesh to the ghouls of Asamando. We revised the system of poisons which used three intervals, so the Antidote Toxin spell would not be utterly useless the way it was in SR2. And we wrote overdosing and addiction rules that made real-world sense, rather than the ones printed in Shadowtech that say any drug user, including an alcoholic, will die within ten weeks. These, and the GMing advice supporting the Alternate Campaigns from the Shadowrun Companion (Carribean DocWagon, Filipino media teams, etc.) were cut. We apologize to anyone who was offended by any of the comments about the history of slavery in the Caribbean and Africa sections or the Filipino-Japanese emnity. We took a course on Caribbean history specifically to write this book, and in our drafts, the comments about 'natives' and 'little boats' were NOT there. We know people have died and worse over real-world racism and nationalism, and we portrayed them in Shadowrun to point out they will not disappear in the next 60 years. If no one else was offended by some of the wording, we will state here for the record that we were. The information about Filipino environmental destruction is real. The logging mafia in Third-World countries are no game, and they are best expressed in a book we recommend from the University of California Press, PLUNDERING PARADISE. We cannot do the situation justice in 20,000 words of a gaming supplement. It would not be believable. Read it... and learn. While Chris does admire John Szeto's technical accuracy, we were surprised to find so many statistics for things we'd never use in our games, like aircraft carriers. We think it encourages making Shadowrun a military game, which is, as Missions and the Companion pointed out, only a fraction of the stories one can tell in the world. Our idea of a Cyberpirate isn't the guy outfitted with a ton of ECCM and missiles on the commando raid; it's the guy on a rubber raft with an outboard motor, trying to do a pickup of white gold so he can post bail for his unjustly accused wife. Because that's the kind of game we like to play." 1997 ... Jennifer Brandes & Chris Hepler ... 184 pages ... FASA 7124 ... ISBN 1555603017 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Corporate Download

This Shadowrun sourcebook outlines the new power structure, focusing on the mega-corps as the runners see them-- corporate plans, dirty secrets, people to know and how to use them." 1999 ... 144 pages ...

"GEAR HEADS, GREASE MONKEYS AND SPEED JUNKIES RIGGERS ARE BACK! Taking the datajack cable from under the dash, I plug it into the jack under my ear. Then I sit back as the virtual display blossoms before my eyes. Dizziness hits me for a split second; then my mind adiusts to the blizzard of input from the vlew screens and sensors that are arrayed before me. The screens show views from every angle, as well as numerous data displays... from the amount of fuel in my ‘copter’s tank to the infrared displays of the people here at the landing pad. As the datafeed pours into my brain, I’m no longer just the human named Zagger. Instead, I am now my machine. I AM the Yellowjacket helicopter. I AM A RIGGER!

From author Kenneth Peters: "Since I had a hand in writing this book I can state with some confidence that it is not just a reprint of Virtual Realities 1.0 and 2.0. While obviously a lot of the material is the same, you'll note that there are tons of small (and important) changes to the rules since VR2.0. For example, while the programming rules are essentially identical to VR2 there are important changes such as the removal of Task Bonuses (which in the end makes programming take LONGER then it did in VR2) and replaced by TN modifiers. There is also an "programming plan" rule that should be familiar to those who have used the surgery rules from Man and Machine. Other changes include an focus on the normal uses of the Matrix, new satellite and cellular decking rules (although FASA did add some pretty bogus "decking satellite" text to maintain compatibility that I think is completely unrealistic) and a streamlined cyberdeck construction system (which unfortunantely still requires years of game time to build from scratch). The Otaku rules are also give a BIG boost but at the expense of long-term viability since they begin to lose their powers past a certain age. Another focus is on the "average user" as I mentioned before, and while non-DNI cyberdeck users are still pretty limited there is a lot they can do now, especially with the helpful Information Search rules. Knowbots also get a reworking and there is a new type of smart frame called agents. In short its a top to bottom reworking of the VR2.0 rules with a sprinkling of VR1.0 updates. Combined with the setting material in Target: Matrix (now out if you can somehow find it on Amazon..) you should be good to go. The Matrix material is now FAR more tightly integrated with the rest of Shadowrun, as you will see in future supplements such as Rigger 3." 2000 ... 176 pages ... FASA 7909 ...

What about making a drone an extension of yourself, or undermining the security of a whole building, manipulating every camera, motion detector or security door. But the biggest kick is blowing up a car full of goons without even jacking out - weapons of destruction at your mental command... now that's road rage, my friend. Rigger 3 expands upon the basic rigging and drone rules provided in Shadowrun, Third Edition and offers advanced rules for robots, ships, security riggers and electronic warfare. Rigger 3 also offers expanded vehicle listings and rules for vehicle design, construction and modification for any character." 2001 ... Jon Szeto & Rich Tomasso ... 208 pages ... FASA 7910 ...
