I have a hard time turning down a boxed set, and here was a new one for a game I was already curious about. This is why when they announced a Shadowrun Beginner Box for the 5th edition of the game I decided it was time for me to finally give Shadowrun a chance.

Plus it feels like having not played a game as well known as Shadowrun is somehow a gap in my RPG resume. I’ve often wondered if I missed out on something by not getting into the game in it’s heyday. It’s a system that I’ve grown more curious about over the years. A game where character optimization and picking out the right gear is hugely important and where combat is one of the primary focuses of the game. Overall, Shadowrun has a very strong reputation for being a very crunchy, rules heavy, system that needs way too many D6s. I also know people who have given up on the game. I know people who have been playing it since the first edition and still play it now. Now over the years I’ve met many fans of the system. See back in the day I was a big Cyberpunk 2020 fan and I wasn’t at all interested in a game that added elves and dragons to my beloved Cyberpunk setting. This is actually my first experience with Shadowrun. It’s been around since 1989 and was one of those games that everyone knew about and it seemed like everyone played. Get one of those old books read and then talk about it online using the hashtag #RPGaMonth. I invite anyone reading this to join in on the challenge with me. That said, if I can also get a few of these games to the table, I’m all for that too. Even if you never run the game or the module, the information may be of use to you in other games, it can act as inspiration or change the way you think about something you are actually playing. As far as I’m concerned just reading an RPG book is getting use out of it. With the goal being to get some use out those games that are sitting on your shelves (or hard drives) gathering dust. The actual challenge is to read at least one new RPG item a month. Life seems to have somewhat normalized, so surely I can read at least twelve RPG books this year? As I announced during our Hindsight/Foresight New Years Podcast, I’ve re-dedicated myself to this challenge again in 2019. I have to admit I didn’t do so great on it the last couple years, there was just too much other non-gaming stuff going on with my family to keep up. With multiple people taking part there was more reason to actually try to keep up. I loved the idea of getting some of my own unread books read and sharing my thoughts of them with other people doing the same. Roger Brasslett was the first person I saw use the hashtag, which he shared along with a pile of twelve games he planned to read that year. #RPGaMonth is something that started a couple years back on Google Plus.
This month I’m dusting off a copy of the Shadowrun 5th Edition Beginner Box that I picked up in 2015 but never got around to actually reading.ĭisclosure: Some links in this post are Amazon Affiliate links. As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Whether that means loading up the PDF reader or dusting off a book from your shelf of shame, it doesn’t matter. Similar to the #LessShameMoreGame challenge, the goal of the #RPGaMonth Challenge is to get some use out of those roleplaying games/modules/splatbooks that you picked up but never actually sat down and read. #RPGaMonth – January – Shadowrun Beginner Box
