Shadowrun 5E

Shadowrun Fourth Edition (SR4) is the fourth edition of Shadowrun, a science fantasy tabletop roleplaying game that mixes cyberpunk, urban fantasy and crime fiction in a near-future world where cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures coexist. FASA first published Shadowrun in 1989 and ran it until closing in 2001, after which WizKids took the property and licensed the roleplaying rights to Fantasy Productions, and the fourth edition appeared in 2005. A 20th Anniversary Edition followed in 2009, after Catalyst Game Labs had licensed the rights from Topps, and it won three Silver ENnie Awards in 2010, for Best Interior Art, Best Production Values and Best Game. The fourth edition itself won ENnies for Best Rules and Best Product in 2006. The system directly replaced Shadowrun Third Edition, and it was succeeded by Shadowrun Fifth Edition (2013). Description Players take on shadowrunners, deniable operatives hired by megacorporations to steal data and break into secure sites, and the Game Master (GM) runs missions in a world where magic has returned. Metahumans such as orks, trolls and elves live alongside humans, dragons hold high corporate and political posts, and Seattle is the main setting. Street samurai, mages, adepts, riggers and hackers, once called deckers, each cover a part of the job. The game asks a table for system knowledge. Characters are defined by skills, not classes, with large pools of options for gear, magic and cybernetics, and some reviewers have found the series' rules awkward or fuzzy. It suits groups who like planning a heist and building a character in detail.

Shadowrun Sixth World (SR6) is the sixth edition of Shadowrun, a science fantasy tabletop roleplaying game that mixes cyberpunk, urban fantasy and crime fiction in a near-future world where cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures coexist. Catalyst Game Labs published it in 2019 for the game's 30th anniversary, with Jason Hardy as Shadowrun line developer, and it is set in 2080, about 60 years from the present day. FASA first published Shadowrun in 1989, and the property later passed to WizKids, Fantasy Productions and Catalyst. The edition was announced as easier to learn and play than earlier versions, and the core rulebook is 322 pages, down from 466 in Fifth Edition. The Beginner Box came out in June 2019, with an introduction to the setting, quick-start rules, the Seattle adventure "Battle Royale" and four pregenerated characters. The system directly replaced Shadowrun Fifth Edition (2013), and it keeps that edition's six-sided dice pools while removing limits. Description Players take on shadowrunners, deniable operatives hired by megacorporations to steal data and break into secure sites, and the Game Master (GM) runs missions in the Sixth World, mostly in Seattle. Magic has returned to the world, bringing metahumans such as orks, trolls and elves, and the roles of street samurai, mage, decker and rigger give a team distinct jobs. A character can be built in minutes through a priority table, with 50 Karma to spend. The game asks a table to learn a layered setting, though it is lighter than Fifth Edition. The design goal was a core book of no more than 300 pages, and a reviewer found it well organised but with missing or hard-to-find rules, such as starting Essence, and with scattered gear rules. It suits groups who like planning a heist and a mix of magic and technology, and who are happy to keep a book open.

Eclipse Phase is a detailed science-fiction exploration of uncertain futures. It investigates the nature of transhumanity as it transforms itself, physically and mentally, into something posthuman. It balances the immense dangers of advanced technologies with a vision of how we can negate these risks and enhance our capabilities to improve and prosper as a species. Description Transhumanity stands on the terminus of evolution and extinction. With the ability to upload our minds and nanofabricate almost anything, death and scarcity were nearly defeated. Then a war against super-intelligent AIs infected with an alien virus wiped out 95% of the population. Earth is a ruined wasteland, overrun by machines. The remnants of transhumanity—bio-engineered humans, uplifted animals, and infolife—expanded throughout the Solar System. The AIs left behind a network of wormhole gates that we now use to explore and occupy distant exoplanets. A new cabal of hypercorps and oligarchs seek to preserve outmoded political and economic systems, while patchwork factions of radical scientists and techno-anarchists experiment with new social models, from each according to their imagination and to each according to their need. /images/general-media/1779972799_ox7h9OdI.jpg Characters switch their bodies—called a morphs—at will. Choose from genetically-modified transhumans, synthetic robotic shells, uplifted animals, or digital infomorphs, optimizing your capabilities for specific missions. Your character’s mind and memories are backed up and can be restored if you die—a built-in system of “save points” and functional immortality. Characters are skill-based, with no classes, so players can customize their team roles and specialize in fields of their choosing. A package-buy system enables quick character creation and customization while also defining elements of your character’s background. Gear and morph tracking is simplified with the use of gear packs and points for each mission.

RollCamp is a free, browser-based platform built only for D&D 5e (2024): character sheets that do the math, the SRD rules in an illustrated compendium, and a live table with maps, 3D dice and webcams, all in one place. There’s nothing to install, no paid plan, and no marketplace to buy into before you can play. Description Most virtual tabletops support every system, so the character sheet ends up being a form you fill in yourself. RollCamp does one game, and that’s the point: its 2024 rules engine knows what your class, species, background and feats give you, and recalculates armor class, hit points, saves, attacks and spell slots with every choice. Players build characters with a guided creator, Game Masters prepare campaigns and run sessions, and everyone meets at the same table in the browser. The table needs a desktop browser; sheets and the compendium work on phones too.
