Shadowrun Anarchy is almost a different system entirely. Fifth edition built on the Fourth/20th anniversary, while Sixth edition again makes a number of changes to the core rules. Second and Third edition were pretty similar, while the Fourth and 20th Anniversary editions were quite different than the first three. They can be difficult to use with other editions. Catalyst: 26×××, with the third digit specifying the book type 0 for core rulebooks, 1 for core supplements, 2 for settings (locations), 3 for general sourcebooks, 4 for Adventure, 6 for Rules Supplement, 7 for premium, 8 for fiction and 9 for misc sometimes prefixed with "CAT", "CGL" or "CYT"Ĭore rulebooks and supplements are primarily composed of rules, and tend to be replaced quickly when a new edition of the game is released.Four digit numbers were published by FASA sometimes prefixed by "FAS".It also includes information on one of the Sixth World’s hottest spots for running a con-Istanbul, City of the World’s Desire.Ĭuttings Aces is for use with Shadowrun, Fifth Edition, and it also contains plot information, story ideas, and characters that can be used with Shadowrun: Anarchy with slight adjustments of character stats. With tips, plot updates, spells, gear, and more to improve characters’ con abilities, Cutting Aces gives players the swagger and skills they need to swindle the world. That means you need to sharpen your con game. Almost every kind of shadowrun involves at least a little con artistry, and some of them are full-on long cons. Yeah, blasting your way into a well-guarded facility is fun, but talking your way in, smooth and subtle, might be more rewarding. Marks, all of them, and the Sixth World is full of them. The business suit who drops ten thousand nuyen on a project because he thinks it’ll earn him fifty thousand.

The security guard who lets a team into a top-secret facility because he thinks he’s pitching in on covert-ops training.


The hotel bartender who slips you a guest’s room number because he thinks it will help him get lucky.
