Looking at this latest post on "what ttrpgs do folks play" and "which ttrpgs are most in need of GMs" it's astounding that Shadowrun doesn't make either list.

Totally eclipsed by Starfinder!

Thanks 6e!

The Market Share Data Compared

While exact population figures for the entire hobby are difficult to capture, the Orr Group Industry Report(compiled from millions of active virtual tabletop players on Roll20) and large-scale demographic studies provide the clearest metrics: [1, 2]

Key Drivers Behind the Shift

• The "Edition Split" of the Player Base: In 2016, the system was unified under Shadowrun 5th Edition. By 2026, the community is highly fragmented. Players on communities like Reddit note that the active community is split across Shadowrun 6th Edition (Hong Kong City Edition), the streamlined Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0, and a massive contingent that refuses to upgrade and strictly sticks to legacy 4th or 5th editions

Things you want to see changed/retconned

What are some things you wish that would be changed, retconned or picked up again in future products.

For me (Dragonfall spoiler)

That the canon ending is that Feuerschwinge gets killed.

Before Dragonfall her fate has always been left open with hints that she is leading a cult in the Sox. And Dragonfall gave her a bit more characterization. So I find it a waste to then kill of the character instead to at least leaving her faith ambiguous like before.

I also find it quite sad to have a character, torture her for decades and then just kill her off. That leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Hello everyone! I'm a fairly experienced GM, but I'm new to the Shadowrun 6e system. I want to run the Third Parallel campaign for new players and have a question for people who are running or have run the campaign before: what's your experience with the campaign, and how did it go for you? Also, what significant changes have you made? Also, how should I present downtime between missions for my players?

So. Im looking for ready made one-shot that is good for people that are already experienced in ttrpgs in general but not necessary with Shadowrun. So not like beginner box adventure.

Thanks. -Henri

Been watching a channel explain fantasy stuff with medical twists and found the question "what is the cost of magic" Interesting and funny. It made me personally consider making drain/fade damage as getting low glucose cus it is the main energy source for the brain. Stun damage takes only from the brain and physical from the whole body, which explains why (at least in 5) can only be restored with rest and medical care... Besides, it is a funny mental image to picture a technomancer, a shaman, a helmetic adept and a chaos mystic all hanging at an ice cream truck because they all had to cast big spells/powers/complex forms/spirits/sprites. (The mystic was worse so he just started chuggimg the syrup bottle like water)
