Shadowrun

Konzerndossier

 

Shadowrun is a role playing system in a not-very-far-away-future setting, telling the story of humans meeting machines and magic. Dragons are COEs of mega corporations and motorized trolls patrol the highways. Shadow runners operate outside the law and take care of the dirty work. A bleak story in a cheerless world, incredibly detailed and rich in satirical undertones!

The most powerful forces in the Sixth World are the Mega Corporations. Even dragons want to lay their claws on at least part of the Power of the Big 10. As a runner you must be informed on the Mega Corporations because they are your employer and your threat! This source book offers current knowledge on the 10 biggest corporations, including important details like answers to questions as “What happens between Amazonia and Aztechnology?” And of course offers detailed insight into the machinations of the Big 10, into the economy of Shadowrun, into the reasoning of the corporations and the function of humans as worker bees. In this German edition there is an extra chapter on corporations in the Alliance of German Countries,

As do all other source books, this one too, provides an enormous amount of information and playing aids, ideas and facts for players of Shadowrun, detailed and painstakingly worked out, a compendium that you cannot miss! It is a gateway into the world of runners, dragons and Mega-Corps, where at least in this game there are no winners and losers, only a confrontation with a fictional, fascinating world, which is now world for gently souls, but dark, brutal and dominated by technology.
