The year is 2050
The blending of technology and human flesh began in the late 20th century. Interfacing the human mind with computers followed quickly. Then came the Awakening. A five-thousand-year null in the flow of certain energies subsided, and magic returned to the world. Elves, Trolls, and Orcs assumed their true form, throwing off their human guise. Dragons awoke from their long sleep and re-emerged into the world.
Welcome to the world of Shadowrun. A world where technology and magic co-exist. A world filled with only two types of people. The quick an the dead. Your hosts on this run through the shadows are:
- Ken St. Andre
- Robert Charette
- Elizabeth T. Danforth
- Tom Dowd
- Paul R. Hume
- Lorelei Shannon
- Nyx Smith
- Michael A. Stackpole
In this brainded anthology, a mid-level executive makes his bid for the big time, and when superiors stand in his way, assassination and blackmail are the order of the day. Sorcerers, Yakuza, Street Samurai, The Ancients - an Elven biker gang - and the hopelessness of this dark future are the backdrop of this journey Into the Shadows.
