The year is 2065.

Humanity has been brought to the brink of disaster by disease
and computer viruses.

Magic has returned to the world, rewarding those with the will
to use it with extraordinary abilities and power.

The lines between man and machine have blurred as science finds
new ways to incorporate cybernetic wonders into the flesh.

Data pirates interface with the virtual reality of the matrix.
These Deckers plunder one of the world's most valuable commodities:
Information.

Unexplained Genetic Expression changed the RACE lines from color
to species. Trolls, Elves and other creatures of legend now walk
the earth and bring racial tension to new levels.

Corporations, powers unto themselves, engage in silent shadow wars
for dominance. In their quest for superiority, they hire freelance
agents known as Shadowrunners.

Shadowrunners come in all shapes and sizes, from the human
computer-whiz to the troll mercenary to the elven shaman.
They work for hire, loyal only to themselves, and fight for money,
reputation, and survival.

Do you want to run in the shadows?

I have tried the custom creation, but I cant get it to work.

Drop me a line at and I'll be more than happy to help you through any spot where you are stuck.

Also, since the shadowrun priority system can be a bit overwhelming for the player new to shadowrun, we have included several archetype characters that will get you into the game nearly instantly.
