Dirty Tricks ist ein Quellenbuch für die vierte Edition von Shadowrun.
Dirty Tricks behandelt den Themenkomplex der Politik in der Sechten Welt und wie Shadowrunner zum Einsatz kommen (können), um politische Skandale aufzudecken oder sie erst zu fabrizieren und damit Politiker zu Fall zu bringen oder Wahlausgänge zu beeinflussen. Außerdem wird auf einige aktuelle Hotspots der Politik eingegangen - von Seattle, wo der Orkuntergrund durch eine Volksabstimmung zum offiziellen Bezirk des Megaplexes erhoben wird über Washington F.D.C. und die CAS bis hin zum Vereinigten Königreich nach dem Abgang des Lordprotektors.
Das Buch erschien bei Catalyst Game Labs im Rahmen der Reihe der "Deep Shadows"-Quellenbücher am Tag der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2012 in englischer Originalsprache.
Rückseitentext
Digging in the Dirt
Politics is only a dirty word when it’s not working for you. For shadowrunners, politics aren’t about debates and position papers—they’re about taking some of the money people are throwing around.
During election season, when power is up for grabs, people are willing to do just about anything to get a piece of the pie. If you can help them get what they want, they’ve got a job for you. It may be peeking in the windows of the rich and famous. Or finding dirt on the opposition (or making some up). Or, if things get really desperate, ensuring the other guy doesn’t win because he’s too busy taking a dirt nap.
How much money you take in and how dirty your fingers get is up to you and your desire to not see the stars above you when you sleep. You’ll probably have to make some compromises along the way, but since when has life in the Sixth World — or politics — been any different?
Dirty Tricks provides details on the ins and outs of political shadowruns, as well as close-up looks at some of the electoral hotspots around the globe. From dragon attacks in the Caribbean to the long-awaited vote on making the Ork Underground an official district of Seattle, Dirty Tricks is full of news, updates, and game information players need to get deeper in the twisted world of Shadowrun politics.
Dirty Tricks is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.
