Two bundles for Shadowrun 5th edition - one is a repeat, the other new. Not to be confused with numerous previous bundles for earlier editions of the venerable magic & cyberpunk RPG, which have varying degrees of compatibility.
SHADOWRUN 5E ESSENTIALS (from Feb 2019)

Most of the things you need to run the game - rules, gadgets, etc.
SR5 MISSIONS MEGABUNDLE (new)

Settings, adventures, etc. Some of them were in the "Runs and Guns" bundle which accompanied the 2019 "Essentials" bundle. If you already bought that you may want to cherry-pick - the basic level is all-new, the repeat stuff is in the extended bundle.
When the 5E essentials bundle was offered I said "Shadowrun has never been one of my favourite games, I'm not convinced the genres mesh wonderfully, but it's an OK system with a big user base. I think that there have been previous offers for earlier releases, but this is the first for 5th edition, which updates things a lot. I think it's a pretty good deal if you want to give the system a try, or are only familiar with the earlier releases."
I don't think I want to change any of that. The source material in the Missions Megabundle looks useful, but like a lot of this stuff it's only useful if you actually use it - I own a ton of stuff for this system in dead tree format and I've barely used it, so I won't be downloading more.
