he walls and shelves of my home are covered in Shadowrun books and art, and indeed sometimes I have to remind myself of the countless people who have fallen in love with the Shadowrun world not through the classic tabletop role playing game, but instead through one of the many Shadowrun video games, or any of the more than ifty published novels. Shadowrun occupies a very special place in my heart. here are living, breathing stories and characters that only exist within the minds of the few people that sat around that table, and any one of them will happily regale you with tales of the duplicitous machinations of a dwarf ixer named Redeye or the tragic end of Eddie Garrett, ex-Lone Star cop turned reluctant shadowrunner. Wait, elves and cybernetics? Megacorporations and dragons? You can’t do that! I spent the next nineteen years running a campaign, and for most of it we were playing weekly, every Monday night. A few weeks later and I had purchased the First Edition rulebook and taken the irst steps on the path to what would become the greatest RPG love afair of my life. PREFACE RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN It was the summer of 1989 when I was irst exposed to Shadowrun via a four-page preview pamphlet at my local game store.
