Steal Souls With New Shadowrun RPG Sourcebook
May 17, 2014 by brennon
The Shadowrun RPG has another sourcebook coming to you and it's titled, interestingly, Stolen Souls. See what you think of this new addition to your book collection...
"Stolen Souls introduces a new focus for the Deep Shadows book. They have always focused on a particular subject, giving tactics, game advice, gear, and rules associated with this area, but with Fifth Edition, each Deep Shadows book will focus on a particular type of shadowrun. Stolen Souls focuses on extractions, providing advice on how to successfully carry them out and gear, spells, and other rules to help you get the job done. With plot information and details on one of the extraction hotspots of the world–the corporate haven of Manhattan–Stolen Souls is full of information to rocket your game ahead and send it catapulting through twists and turns that will make your game memorable."
Sounds like this should be an awesome add-on to the increasingly popular game from Catalyst Game Labs. The world has always interested me and it would be cool to start delving into this a bit more I think.
Will you grab this?

‘increasingly popular game’ , its been a top game since 1989 , it hasnt just started out.
SR has had five pubilcations , not all of them good , but it is still a solid background , played well it is fabulous to rapel down a glass building with katana in hand escaping from dragonfly drones…..something you dont get to do in wargaming..
I’d say “increasingly popular” is fair when you consider how badly FASA’s games suffered during the FanPro days when Weisman first decided he didn’t want to make tabletop games anymore. Shadowrun declined (in popularity) quite a bit, but it has definitely made a comeback with 5th edition and in the wake of some very successful high profile videogame kickstarters. Having said all that, it’s been one of my absolute favorite RPGs for ages, and 5th is by far the strongest edition I’ve seen. Anyone who was on the fence about this game in the past (or disappointed by 4th edition)… Read more »
Honestly I didn’t mind 4th edition. I found it better then 3rd at least, but I am in agreement with you that 5th is far better then either of them.
Now if only I could make my players realize that the reason they’re constantly hunted by corp SWAT teams is they leave huge body counts behind them like idiots.
