Runners Unite!

The latest Shadowrun campaign book, Jet Set, is now available for PDF purchase or print pre-order (Battleshop, DriveThruRPG). Moving from the luxuries of Paris to the halls of power of Tír Tairngire, Jet Set gives runners the chance to mingle with high society–while making sure to get out with their lives, and hopefully a big stack of nuyen. Here’s the full rundown:

The Ride of Your Life

Step this way! There’s no need for you to wait in line with the riff-raff, the common clay of dirty humanity. You can have something better. You can have the good life, filled with the finest food, the most expensive wines, and the most interesting people in the world. There’s a price to pay, of course. There always is. But take a ride, just once, in the aircraft the upper crust uses, and see if you don’t like it. Get a taste of this lifestyle, and see if you won’t do anything to keep it.

In Jet Set, shadowrunners get the chance to rub elbows with the rich and powerful of the world—the socialites, the corporate elite, the royalty, the movers, and the shakers. These are people who know how to get what they want, no matter who they need to step over to get it. The runners may be the help they need to get rid of their latest obstacle—or they could be the next bodies the rich and powerful leave in an expanding trail behind them.

Jet Set is a campaign book with information on the growing tension between Sixth World dragons, the mysterious motives and questions surrounding Nadja Daviar, the opening salvos in political battles that will shake cities and nations in the next year, and more. Filled with plot details, location information, and NPC write-ups, the book is a resource all Shadowrun players can use.

Jet Set is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.

Catalyst Game Labs is upgrading its server to accommodate our expanding websites and communities using those websites. This should decrease load times on all our websites, as well as expand our ability to respond to website issues.

Starting next week, this website (along with the forums), may be down intermittently for maintenance and migration. We hope to keep that downtime to a minimum.

Welcome to 2012, Shadowrun people! Now that the year is a whole 36 hours or so old, it’s way past time to release a new product, and we’ve got one for you. Following in the footsteps of Street Legends is Street Legends Supplemental (Battleshop, DriveThru), ten new profiles of Sixth World people that are worth telling stories about. You get the in-universe stories, complete NPC stats, and full-color illustrations for each character. Here’s the full complement of details:

Unusual Suspects

Ten people. Ten very different people. A pirate who has made himself into one of the most wanted men in the world. A datathief whose skill is only matched by his flair and panache. Two corporate giants whose personalities—and actual physical makeup—couldn’t be more different. A troll whose name has a history much older than herself. And other individuals with stories and secrets of their own.

Some of them are people you want on your side, and some of them are people who could be very dangerous enemies if you aren’t careful. All of them are people you should know, because all of them have something—money, power, knowledge, or all three—that you can use.

Street Legends Supplemental follows the format of the Street Legends book by presenting information on ten characters from the Shadowrun universe, sharing stories about their activities in the Sixth World and also offering complete game information and statistics for them. Each character also comes with plot information gamemasters can use as they develop their campaigns. While it is a companion to Street Legends, Street Legends Supplemental can be enjoyed entirely on its own.

Street Legends Supplemental is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.
