Catalyst Game Labs unveiled multiple supplements for the upcoming new edition of the popular Shadowrun RPG, with most of them planned for Q2 and Q3 trade release.
Along with the Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box (see "‘Shadowrun Sixth Edition’") the Neo-Anarchist Streetpedia drops in June at Origins, with a trade release to follow. A sourcebook that covers the setting at-large, it features information on corporations, shadowrunners, criminal organizations, nations, cities, and key politicians. MSRP is $34.99.
In July, Catalyst updates a .pdf release for Fifth Edition, with a print book containing the same information but with all the rules revised for Sixth World. No Future covers culture in the game world, from music to art to movies to sports, as well as the setting’s growing underground rebellion. No Future retails for $49.99. Customers who bought the Fifth Edition version get a free .pdf upgrade.
The main core rules book releases at Gen Con in August before shipping to trade afterward. In addition to the previously announced $49.99 regular edition, a Limited Edition for $99.99 and a Deluxe Edition for $199.99 will be available. Details for the special versions have not yet been announced.
Also in August, Rogue’s Gallery: An NPC Deck is a deck of cards with pre-statted NPCs that GMs can use to populate their games, and Dice & Edge Tokens provide customized dice and tokens for modifying rolls. Both accessories retail for $19.99.
Rounding out the August releases are Prime Runner Miniatures. This kit includes five plastic, unpainted minis for the game – an ork street samurai, elf shaman, human decker, dwarf rigger, and troll weapons specialist. MSRP is also $19.99.
A customizable Gamemaster Screen ships in September, as does Cutting Black, a setting book with storylines and hooks for GMs to launch their campaigns. MSRP is $29.99 for the Gamemaster Screen and $49.99 for Cutting Black.
Finally, a detailed campaign setting with multiple scenarios, 30 Nights, is scheduled for October. Set in Toronto, and featuring a full-color map of the city, the story examines a mysterious blackout and can be played in a single night, as a longer campaign, or in bits and pieces. MSRP is $39.99.
