Preview Shadowrun, Sixth Edition’s Product Lineup!

Hot on the heels of our announcement launching Shadowrun, Sixth Edition, it’s time to take a closer look at the blistering fusillade of action-packed books, games, and swag that will shake the Sixth World! (Click on the images for a closer look.)



BEGINNER BOX, $24.99 (JUNE)

The Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box is the easiest way to dive into the intrigue, grit, and action of one of the most enduring role-playing settings of all time! It includes everything needed for a game, including quick-start rules, character dossiers, an adventure, gear and magic cards, dice, and more!



NEO-ANARCHIST STREETPEDIA, $34.99 (JUNE)

The Neo-Anarchist Streetpedia is your definitive guide to the Shadowrun universe. With hundreds of entries, it covers corporations, shadowrunners, politicians, nations, cities, criminal organizations, and more. Even better, it gets to the point and tells you what you need to know now, so you hit the streets a little smarter than you were when you woke up this morning.



NO FUTURE, $49.99 (JULY)

No Future is the Shadowrun guide to Sixth World culture, including information on music acts, trid movies and series, media sources, and sports, with a look at some of the voices bubbling up from the underground and demanding attention. With detailed setting information and relevant rules, No Future adds new elements and depth to Sixth World role-playing.

NOTE: No Future was originally released in PDF format earlier this year as a sourcebook for Shadowrun, Fifth Edition. The short rules section was updated to the Sixth World system for its print release. An updated PDF will be available upon No Future’s print release, and all customers who previously purchased the book in PDF format will receive a free upgrade to the updated PDF.



SHADOWRUN SIXTH WORLD CORE RULEBOOK, $49.99 (AUGUST)

Shadowrun, Sixth World is the latest edition of one of the most popular roleplaying games of all time.
•   The new edition is easier to play and learn than it has ever been, yet it still offers the roleplaying depth that is a key part of the Shadowrun experience.
•   The rule system is built around gaining advantages and taking risks, building up to spectacular moments that are part of great gaming sessions!
•   Faster gameplay and conflict resolution keep the game moving and plunge players ever-deeper into Sixth World intrigue.
•   More pre-generated characters plus character creation rules allow you to design and select exactly the character you want to use in the game.

Limited Edition, $99.99
Executive Edition, $199.99

•   Details to come!



ROGUE’S GALLERY: AN NPC DECK, $19.99 (AUGUST)

Whether on the desperate streets or in the Machiavellian high-rises of the corporate elite, dangerous people lurk in every corner of the Sixth World. And they’re in here, too, with a quick backstory, a hook, and streamlined game stats. Bring the Shadowrun universe to life by putting these characters at your fingertips and in your game!



DICE & EDGE TOKENS, $19.99 (AUGUST)

Tossing a handful of dice to out-maneuver or out-gun your opponent always brings a rush. Especially when you’re spending some Edge to boost your actions. Add more dice to your Shadowrun game, along with a great way to track your Edge!



PRIME RUNNER MINIATURES, $19.99 (AUGUST)

They’re rough. Tough. Ready for action. And you can fit five of them in your hand. Bring Sledge the ork street samurai, Coydog the elf shaman, Gentry the human decker, Hardpoint the dwarf rigger, and Blanco, the troll weapons specialist to your game table and let them unleash chaos!



GAMEMASTER SCREEN, $29.99 (SEPTEMBER)

Experience a gamemaster screen unlike any other. Features include a large outward-facing pocket for the insertion of various scene inserts—included in the pack—to change up the players’ visual experience. A variety of interior card pockets allows the GM to quickly and easily track NPCs, and other reference cards. Finally, a series of Reputation trackers are built directly into the screen, enabling a runner team to track their heat from Ares to Aztechnology, and more, changing up the games as they play.



CUTTING BLACK, $49.99 (SEPTEMBER)

A new edition of Shadowrun requires new stories, and Cutting Black launches Shadowrun, Sixth World with a bang! Following on the immersive style of classic Shadowrun books such as Universal Brotherhood and Bug City as well as newer successes like Dark Terrors, Cutting Black sets up storylines full of dark dealings and intrigue that will shake the Shadowrun setting and inspire game campaigns for months or longer. Players and gamemasters alike diving into the new edition will need this book as a resource to find out what’s happening in the Sixth World and to keep up with its twists and turns.



30 NIGHTS, $39.99 (OCTOBER)

30 Nights is a detailed campaign book to help players learn and have fun with Shadowrun, Sixth World. It introduces players to new rules and new plot lines, plunging them into the growing chaos in the UCAS as they look into the source of a mysterious blackout plaguing Toronto. The adventures can be played as a single gaming session to introduce players to the new rules, multiple sessions hitting highlights from the adventures, or a detailed campaign propelling the players through each of the 30 nights of the blackout and ensuing chaos. This book includes a laminated, poster map of Toronto, with expanded content.

Oooh, the cover of the Rogue's Gallery is one of the cards that isn't from a Kickstarter backer but someone else involved instead, so we were teased that image but didn't receive it when we received our KS cards. I'm guessing it will include the Rogue Gallery level Kickstarter cards, since at that level you become a named NPC.

So many things I want, but Shadowrun products cannot be bought from stores inside the Netherlands... (The Catalyst-intermediary doesn't offer Shadowrun materials, so the FLGS can only order from other countries...) Guess I'll have to order from Orcs Nest in London or visit Kleve in Germany to buy their English material once they get some in.

@Opti: Once we get Sprawl Ops in, we can compare the photo to determine the size.

They look like 32mm, but would be great to get confirmation.

Please tell me there will be more sets of minis like “gang members” and “Corporate security.” Really need some good minis for the game and I can hardly wait to paint them up.

That reminds me, I still need to paint my metal Shadowrun miniatures. They're roughly the same price as these seem to be per miniature.

Ooh, I was wondering when there'd ever be something taking place in Neo-Toronto. I'm certainly interested in that.
I'm also happy that they're starting out with a book or two about setting history, since anything that's been around for as long would need something like that.

As for the minis, I hope they come out with more, especially for stuff like drones.

Love the depth that is being offered. Would also like to know the scale of the minis and the quantity of dice and markers. My fears are can CGL deliver all this. Last years Battletech box set sold out at retail almost immediately and is still out of stock at distribution so I still can’t 'play' the game with new, official product. The lack of availability of product has truly hurt many CGL lines and I hope they have learned from it but if they can’t get Battletech, there favorite, right than what hope is there for our red headed step child?

Inquisitive minds over at the Shadowrun Sprawl Ops kickstarter would like to know if my theory is correct, whether the Rogues from Sprawl Ops (as well as some non-backers) are in the Rogues Deck. ;D

I'm only a Veteran so I'm out of luck I fear. ^_^ But it'd still rock for the Rogues if they are in there.

(Also asking this on Facebook btw, if I score an answer there I will post it here.)

I hope they're like the pre-primed minis you can get from WizKids for PF and DD...great detail and excellent price points.

They look to be a harder plastic similar to guild ball or song of fire and ice.
