Encounters: Shadowrun
 |
The year is 2078. The worlds megacorporations straddle the sprawls of the Sixth World¸ goliaths that intimidate even nations as they suck in souls in their drive for the almighty nuyen. Between the cracks¸ shadowrunners carve out a living as deniable and disposable assets that megacorps fire at each other for datasteals¸ personnel extractions¸ or even wetwork. Whether casting manabolts of magic¸ riding the electrons of the Matrix with just the brain¸ or slinging good¸ old-fashioned flying lead while firing at speed enhanced by the latest in bio-engineering¸ runners live dangerously and hope their skills are good enough to let them survive another day.
Encounters: Shadowrun is a 1-8 player fast-paced¸ pushed-your-luck dice and card game. Players take the role of Mr. Johnson¸ arranging the megacorps' dirty work and adding new shadowrunners to their already-assembled teams. They send their teams into the shadows of the mean sprawl streets of the Sixth World¸ collecting though paydata to beat down their rivals. Grab some dice¸ make a team¸ and show 'em who's the boss.
