ffuturesThis is a repeat of the May 2022 bundle of Shadowrun Sixth World Essentials, featuring the current (2019) Sixth Edition of the cyberpunk-magic RPG.
SHADOWRUN SIXTH WORLD ESSENTIALS

In 2022 I said "I'll be honest, I've never been a big fan of this setting - while there's a "fantasy with big guns" genre that works reasonably well in fiction, adding in all of the cyberpunk tropes means that in any given situation some of the characters will have problems bringing useful skills and abilities to bear; the worst case is a scene where only one or two characters are active, the rest are standing around waiting for their hacker / shaman / whatever to get their part of the job done. Having said that, this is a very popular system which has stayed in print for 30+ years despite changing publishers twice. If you like this sort of game, this is probably the game for you."
I really don't see any reason to change this opinion.
There may be more for this system later this week.
