The year is 2078. The worlds' megacorporations straddle the sprawls of the Sixth World, goliaths that intimidate even nations as they suck in souls in their drive for the almighty nuyen.
Between the cracks, shadowrunners carve out a living as deniable and disposable assets that megacorps fire at each other for datasteals, personnel extractions, or even wetwork.
Whether casting manabolts of magic, riding the electrons of the Matrix with just your brain, or slinging good, old-fashioned flying lead while firing at speed enhanced by the latest in bio-engineering, runners live dangerously and hope their skills are good enough to let them survive another day.
In Encounters: Shadowrun, a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice and card game, players take on the role of Mr. Johnson - an individual that arranges for 'things to be taken care of' - fixing the megacorps' dirty work by adding new shadowrunners to their already-assembled teams. Players then send those 'expendable assets' into the shadows of the mean sprawl streets of the Sixth World, fighting past magic, tech, and more to collect resources and corporate secrets to defeat their rivals!
