We are playing a Shadowrun campaign, going back to 2050 and playing forward to get a nice sweep of time and play through some of the most iconic moments in Shadowrun history.

As the tone of the game has changed over the years from a deadly high stakes game in the shadows towards bionic super villains blowing up everything they meet, there are some rather important changes that need to be made to the ruleset in order to recapture the feel of the 2050s and put runners back in the Shadows and megacorps back in the villain seat. Therefore, you can use this SRD as a reference for your adventures in the world of Megacorps & Metahumans. There isn’t any lore here or any of the glorious IP that has developed over the years, for that you’ll need the rule books. I have used the SR5 rules and the SR3 rules to create this SRD and you shouldn’t use these rules as a reference for any campaign other than mine, as this is a very niche campaign situation.
