Shadowrun Missions (SRM) is the official dynamic sixth world campaign setting sponsored by Catalyst Game Labs. In SRM, players create a character and participate in sanctioned events throughout the world. This gives players the unique opportunity to play a Shadowrun character of their own design with different people and different perspectives, and affect the storyline of the campaign. Missions are divided into seasons, with each season marking one complete campaign. The current season is Season 4 and it returns the Missions campaign back to the Emerald Sprawl, Seattle.
There are also Convention Missions (CMP) adventures, which are exclusive to conventions that Catalyst and Agents for the Catalyst Demo Team are running events at for the year. These Missions are looser and not tied to a specific location of storyline, and will be made available the following year.
Finally, we’re introducing Prime Missions (PM). These are missions designed for high karma characters that have been promoted to Prime Runner status (See the FAQ for more details). These missions are much more dangerous, but the rewards are much greater. Frequently, Prime Missions will revisit previous Missions locations, plots, and NPCs.
