Shadowrun Pages Page Content GM Section Updates

This is the section of my website dedicated to the Shadowrun setting as changed to suit my personal style and the generational planned storyline.

Shadowrun is a science fantasy tabletop role-playing game set in a near-future fictional universe in which cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures co-exist. It combines genres of cyberpunk, urban fantasy and crime, with occasional elements of conspiracy, horror and detective fiction. (See www.shadowruntabletop.com).

Welcome to shadowrun. This is a game of a distopian future where the player characters are standing between the cracks of society to survive. Corporations have gain much power, and magic has returned to the world, with many variations that include new species out of fantasy and science fiction, including dragons. There are many rules to being a Shadowrunner, can you learn them quickly enough to survive just one more night...

Shadowrun Homebrew Changes

Rules - The first change you will see when looking at this site, is we are referencing the offical rulebooks, but not using the rules in them. For the game we are using the Genesys rule system also used in the Fantasy Flight (Now Edge Studio) Star Wars game system.

New Elements - As this is not an offical version of Shadowrun (due to using Genesys), I have also chosen to take it a few steps further and introduced a few other stroylines into the game to help the world come more alive. These new elements include, but are note limited to:

  • Android / KeyForge / Terrinoth - Setting rules and material used.
  • Cyberpunk - all the gritty non magic fun brought into this world as well.
  • Science-Fiction - related to various franchises.
  • Super-Heroes - related to various franchises.

Why have I done this, well because I can, and it help with making certain changes to the scripted adventures allowing for a more casual approach to each of the storylines I intend to run for my groups. At this point they are running in Seattle in 2050 doing the four main published adventures over an extended period of time.

Genesys - is a generic roleplaying game system by Fantasy Flight Games that uses a narrative style of play, and dynamic advancement system and has its roots in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. There are three sourcebooks released at this stage. A core rules, a fantasy epic and a cyberpunk which when combined make a decent Shadowrun without bending the rules.

What is this project - This is a project to create a new narrative based game around the Shadowrun Universe. There is also a chance I will incorporate other 80’s based nostalgia in there as well that would be a step away from Shadowrun depending on the players and when I set the game.

Updates - Most of these pages are going through content and format updates so feel free to check back and see what has changed.
