Shadowrun - Welcome to the Future


Recommended Reading

This is a list of stuff which is good background on this game. It includes not just rules, but all sorts of other books from which I am cribbing ideas for this campaign.

Rules

We are using third edition Shadowrun. I upgraded from first edition, just for this game ... third edition is a significant improvement. These are the rules/supplements in use.

Specific Cribs

The Man Who Never Missed Series, by Steve Perry
Some good cyberpunk combat ideas, but mostly I'm using the whole "Musashi Flex" concept with only enough alterations to make it fit the game world. I highly recommend the original trilogy (the first three books listed below).
Howard Chaykin's American Flagg
A great, great series from the '80s, with a good dystopic and violent feel. It's my source for go-gangs, and is heavily informing my take on Black Market Bloodsports. (And if you know American Flagg, you see the connection already.)
