I really enjoyed

  • Spells and Chrome: Anthology 1
  • World of Shadows: Anthology 2
  • Neat
  • Shaken
  • Secrets of Power series, start here

    And in general I like Nigel D. Findley, Nyx Smith, and Mel Odom's novels - search Amazon and eBay.

    As to order? Not really. It's academically interesting to try to read them in order and see how the timeline evolves - as well as how different authors write about the universe - but unless it's a series like Secrets of Power or Dragon Heart Saga then they stand alone. I'm a big fan of the pulpy, more noir stories - ex. Zimmerman's - than the "tactical military hardware porn" ones.

Others summed stuff up pretty well, but if you'd like to know more, and can get your hands on a copy of Burning Bright, it's a nice first hand look at the events that went down in Chicago.

While I wholly agree that Nigel Findely is the gold standard for Shadowrun novels, I'd say that Lone Wolf was better than 2XS, although all of his novels, including the 2XS sequel House of the Sun, are excellent.

In terms of introducing/exploring the setting though, I'd say that Changeling by Chris Kubasik is the best. It's the story of a corporate kid who goblinizes into a troll, realizes his father no longer respects him, and runs away from home, eventually being forced into the shadows to survive.

u/datcatburd · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

I still think the original is the best. The Into The Shadows braided novel is mostly street level runners, and a good read.

Allow me to recommend Changeling by Chris Kubasik. Gives you some perspective on 2050's era Shadowrun from the perspective of a guy who mutates from a teenager to a troll. Great plot and interesting characters.

u/BackgammonSR · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

Hi there! In a totally biased sort of way, I recommend the series of Enhanced Fiction for Shadowrun - The Vladivostok Gauntlet, Nothing Personal, Sail Away Sweet Sister and Another Rainy Night

Each will set you back less than 2$ and can be read in 1-2 evenings. Great way to dip your feet into the pool :)

If you're willing to wait a month, you can use the Beginner Box Set, but if not, I recommend the 5th Edition book. The core rule book has everything you need except for character sheets, which you'll need to print, and dice, which I'm sure you can find.

Party Size: 1 GM + 2-4 players is ideal. 1 player "solo" adventures are fun, but can be difficult to run. If you have 5+ players, it can be difficult for the GM to manage, but it can be done. Consider splitting into two groups.

No, you don't need miniatures. You can use anything to represent your characeters on the map, such as rocks. Or don't use a map at all.

My first Shadowrun game (and my first time as GM) was done with the Runner's Toolkit Alphaware. It has a slimmed down rulebook and a basic campaign that normally takes a few sessions to get through. But if you just wanted to do a couple unrelated runs just to get a feel for the game, I think that it's a good way to do it.

The kit is $60 normally, and that is crazy. I picked it up for $40, and it was worth it. This really does seem like it should be in the $30-$40 price range. That being said, it is a great tool for a group where no one has played Shadowrun before.

u/skuppy · 4 pointsr/Shadowrun

The 90s Shadowrun fiction books are pretty good. I recommend starting with the short story collection Into The Shadows

u/Necoya · 3 pointsr/Shadowrun

Shaken, is my favorite. Jimmy Kincaid is a fantastic character

u/Bamce · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

I believe into the shadows is what most people will say.

I would also recommend:[arcology podcast])http://arcologypodcast.com/)

They have an actual play podcast in there that is like experiencing fiction. In addition to all the other rules stuff.

and of course Opti will take care of all your crazy history timeline stuff

Whoa whoa whoa, so you're saying that the 5E GM Screen I got in October of 2014 for $15.63 is worth $1k????

Why did I not buy more??!!!!!

u/gorged_on_truffles · 1 pointr/Shadowrun

Amazon has Shadowrun 5 e listed for the 22nd of May. Unfortunately this is probably a placeholder date. Hopefully Catalyst will ramp up the marketing in the coming weeks to give us a better idea.

u/Spines · 3 pointsr/Shadowrun

oh common dont be like that. i like the tikki novels by nyx smith, the Dragonheart Saga and into the Shadows.

the first review is what i like about the shadowrun novels http://www.amazon.de/Shadowrun-07-Into-Shadows-v/dp/0451451899/ref=sr_1_17?s=books-intl-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1374837854&sr=1-17&keywords=Jordan+Weisman

u/AlainYncaan · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

If you can read German, the gm screen here only costs about 13€ :)
edit:
Oh just see, the Englsih version is in stock for 18€!

Cheat sheets and reference Guides

Have a look at the alphaware set of missions, it's a really good starting point for new players and Gms.

u/raven00x · 8 pointsr/Shadowrun

I first saw it in neuromancer. If you haven't read neuromancer yet... You really should. Also count zero and mona Lisa overdrive; these 3 books form the Sprawl trilogy and were hugely influential in the formation of the cyberpunk genre.

u/MrSamdei · 3 pointsr/Shadowrun

When I looked on Amazon it said some time in December I believe, but don't quote me on it.

Edit: Yeah, here we go, the Amazon thing for it.

u/astraljack · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

My favorite was 2XS.
Nigel Findley was a big influence on the setting early on.

RIP Nigel

u/Waerolvirin · 1 pointr/Shadowrun

EDIT: nevermind. the Digital Toolbox includes both "beginner boxed set" and "alphaware."

the Digital Toolbox had another boxed set with better (IMO) character dossiers. it is called Runner's Toolkit: Alphaware.

u/La_Papa_Ghede · 1 pointr/Shadowrun

It is a really interesting read about a mage and his spirit ally hired to find a lost heir in Chi-Town before and leading up to the Cermak Blast and the establishment of the quarantine wall.

u/dethstrobe · 4 pointsr/Shadowrun

Yeah, the only problem with the ebooks is that they're novellas. So they're really short. I just want a full new novel! Where I can have a vested interest in the narrative.

Though, I also kind of like how brisk their pacing was. It really made them page turners if only because the plots were moving really quickly.

There is a sequel to Another Rainy Night that Patrick Goodman is done writing. It should be released later this year. It'll hopefully explain what's happening to the infected as of the events of Stormfront.

And while on the topic of SR ebooks, check out Spells and Chrome. Its a collection of short stories by several SR writers. The one about the kid with augmentation addiction is one of the saddest stories I've read, if only because I was reading between the lines.

u/Cheet4h · 1 pointr/Shadowrun

I got mine via Amazon.de, although they're currently listed as unavailable :/

They have the Shadowrun logo on the 5 and 6, while the 1 shows nothing. I don't know if they have ever been sold outside Germany. Maybe try your luck on some of those auctioning sites?

u/Mistervimes65 · 2 pointsr/Shadowrun

The Wolf and Raven stories by Mike Stackpole. They first appeared in "Challenge" magazine. A new story is in Shadowrun: World of Shadows anthology.

u/ozurr · 6 pointsr/Shadowrun

Try Changeling, it might be what you're looking for.

u/DashingSpecialAgent · 3 pointsr/Shadowrun

I ordered this amazon copy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936876582/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It said unknown binding then, now says paper back... My copy is hard cover.

u/Black-Knyght · 3 pointsr/Shadowrun

That's almost as racist as Never Trust an Elf. C'mon guys, this is the Sixth World. Why can't we all get along? Big D was trying!
