![]() While the full rulebook won’t be released for a few months, Catalyst is releasing a Beginner Box this week that should hold everything a new player needs to start their life in the shadows. If this sounds like fun to you – and it should – you’ll likely be wondering how to get started. In addition to being the sixth edition of the game, the Sixth World is the term used to describe the Shadowrun setting, an era in which magic has returned to the world, humanity has evolved to include multiple fantastic races such as elves and trolls, and technology is so far beyond our modern day standards that firing a gun with your mind is nothing special. ![]() This year, Catalyst Game Labs is releasing a new edition: Shadowrun Sixth World. First published in 1989, it’s become the gold standard for the genre, overshadowing even the aptly-named Cyberpunk franchise. Set in a near-future “cyberpunk” version of our world, Shadowrun puts its players in the shoes of shadowy criminals squaring off against seemingly omnipotent corporations, using technology and magic to chip away at – or reinforce – the systems that trap most people in a dependent cycle of poverty and complacency. If you’ve never heard of Shadowrun before, you’re missing out on one of the most iconic roleplaying games of all time. Note: Meeple Mountain received a PDF copy of the contents of this box for review purposes, but the opinions herein are our own. This box promises to give you everything you need to run the shadows in the Sixth World, but does it deliver? Find out in our First Impressions analysis!
