What is Shadowrun?<\/h2>\n

Shadowrun is a tabletop RPG that fuses cyberpunk and high fantasy into one of the most unique settings in gaming. First published in 1989, Shadowrun imagines a future where magic has returned to the world \u2014 dragons walk among us, elves and orks are common, and the Matrix (the internet’s successor) is a virtual reality landscape you jack into with cyberdecks.<\/p>\n

Players are runners<\/strong> \u2014 deniable assets hired by corporations, crime lords, and other powers to do the dirty work that can’t be traced back. You’re a shadowrunner. You don’t exist. And tonight, you’ve got a job.<\/p>\n

The Sixth World<\/h2>\n

Shadowrun’s setting, the Sixth World<\/strong>, is our Earth transformed. In 2011, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar ended, and magic returned. Dragons \u2014 ancient, intelligent, immensely powerful beings \u2014 revealed themselves. Some became heads of state. Others took over megacorporations. Humanity split into new metahuman races: elves, orks, trolls, and dwarves.<\/p>\n

Technology advanced alongside magic. Cybernetic implants, drones, and the Matrix coexist with spirits, spells, and enchanted items. The result is a world where a street samurai with a cybernetic arm might fight alongside a shaman summoning nature spirits \u2014 and both are taking orders from a dragon CEO.<\/p>\n
