About this series
FOUR SECRET AUDITIONS…
Fixer BlotterBabe must have exactly the right actors for a production that requires very specialized talent. The actors must not only be skilled, they need to have the right attitude and an ability to adapt to extraordinary circumstances.
A Kiss to Die For: Kintsugi and Sartorial choose love over duty, but their respective families will do everything in their considerable power to stop them from being together.
See How She Runs: Terrapin witnesses a murder and is handed a package destined for some important and lethal people. Now she is running for her life.
Unrepairable: Landon and Liana love vexing megacorps for fun and profit with their Matrix show. Unfortunately, the megacorps always play dirty, and will do whatever's required to shut them down for good.
The Kilimanjaro Run: Charlotte, Neema, and Elijah embark on an unexpected adventure that turns into a nightmare when they discover nothing is what it seems. They are left with no choice at all when choosing between the abhorrent and the right thing to do.
FOR THE MOST DANGEROUS RUN OF ALL…
Having auditioned thousands, BlotterBabe is out of time. It's come down to these few teenagers. Either they will save the day or lose it all…
"Cons, lies, double-crosses, flat-out thievery—all the fun stuff. Auditions reads like that great first act of a heist movie. Everyone's showing off their particular set of skills while Brozek teases us with threads of what's to come." —NYT bestseller Peter Clines, author of The Broken Room
"Brozek spins a clever introduction into the world of Shadowrun in Auditions. It's perfect for newcomers, but also showcases shadows that have never been explored yet feel perfectly familiar." —Crystal Frasier, author of Pathfinder: Spiral of Bones

WELCOME TO THE YEAR 2072… …And a world unlike anything you've ever imagined. A world where magic and machines exist side-by-side. Where cybernetics can replace organs or entire limbs with ease, and arcane spells can make the impossible happen. Where the Matrix has become an artificial world of its own, filled with all kinds of pleasure, treasure, and trouble. Where dwarves, elves, orks and trolls walk alongside humans every day. Some work for megacorporations whose invisible tentacles wrap around every aspect of modern life. Others choose a much less legal career, doing whatever dirty work the corp executives need done—for a price. Welcome...to Shadowrun. Featuring fifteen new stories about the men and women who make their living in the shadows of the Sixth World, Spells & Chrome takes you into the dark and dirty streets of the future. Whether risking their lives to execute a mission for an employer who might be planning to double-cross them anyway, or just doing whatever they need to do to survive another day, shadowrunners use everything they've got—cyberware, spells, or a very big gun—to get the job done. This corrected and updated 10th anniversary edtion includes a new foreward by the editor.

MEAN STREETS? YOU HAVE NO IDEA… The Sixth World is a dangerous place, and nowhere is that more obvious than in Seattle, the so-called Emerald City. Surrounding its neon-drenched heart is kilometer after kilometer of Sprawl, where millions of people scratch out a living among hazardous, slowly decaying neighborhoods and even more dangerous neighbors. Sprawl Stories contains four Shadowrun novellas that explore Seattle through the eyes of the people who live there every day. A burned-out mage detective tackles a missing person case that threatens to spiral beyond his control. A reporter goes on the ride-along of her life with a high-octane DocWagon team, and uncovers a conspiracy on live trideo. A young ex-wageslave is caught between powerful forces while investigating his uncle's death. And a shaman must deal with a serious injury that threatens his very way of life—but not before taking vengeance on those who double-crossed him. So take a walk on the true wild side of the Seattle Sprawl. If you're good—and lucky—you might even come back out in one piece… Sprawl Stories contains the following novellas: "Neat" by Russell Zimmerman "DocWagon 19" by Jennifer Brozek "Big Dreams" by R. L. King "Blind Magic" by Dylan Birtolo

THE TAROT HAS AWAKENED… The Tarot, a powerful divination artifact, has appeared in the Sixth World. It works its will on anyone who finds one of its mystical cards, from runners surviving on the street to corp executives battling in the boardroom. And not just people’s lives will be changed, for the Awakened Tarot deck is more than just a formidable magic item, it has an agenda all its own, and will use those it comes in contact with to set its plans in motion… Drawing Destiny is the latest original Shadowrun anthology, featuring twenty-three original stories about this brand-new artifact introduced into the game universe. Featuring stories from Michael A. Stackpole, Jennifer Brozek, Chris A. Jackson, Lucy A. Snyder, Aaron Rosenberg, R.L. King, Russell Zimmerman, Josh Vogt, Jason M. Hardy, and 14 more authors, these stories reveal how the Awakened Tarot will impact the Sixth World for better, and sometimes, for much worse…
- Shadowrun: Down These Dark Streets (The Collected Stories of Russell Zimmerman): Shadowrun Anthology
WHERE NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME… Things don't rise to gutters, they fall there. Same with back alleys and dumpsters. Same with graves. Running the shadows comes with ups and downs, but you never know where those rises and falls will take you. What someone else might call rock bottom…you might call Tuesday. Collected here for the first time, read Russell Zimmerman's Shadowrun tales of winners, losers, and edge cases constantly somewhere in between. No longer just scattered across sourcebooks and decades, here you can find every short story and intro fiction featuring everyone's favorite shadow legends rubbing elbows with wannabes and not-shadowrunners-at-all-just-ask-them. But it's not all yesterday's news, chummers. More than just a collection of previously published short fiction, between these covers you'll find a handful of brand-new stories, including a classic, pre-On the Rocks Jimmy Kincaid yarn. Also, each one comes with brand new commentary by the author, written expressly for this volume. Enjoy short stories about hearts and souls, elves and trolls, and rock and roll? Then join us here, and explore these dark streets…
- Shadowrun: Old School (Sprawl Stories, Volume Two): Shadowrun Anthology
BLASTS FROM THE PAST… The Sixth World has always been a grim, violent place, where your life can be measured in heartbeats from one minute to the next. And whether you're an experienced shadowrunner, or someone who's entered the shadows looking for safety, or to hide—or perhaps start a new life altogether—well, they can be dark, deep, and dangerous, no matter how well-prepared you think you are. These five stories kick off with a pair of tales about Yuri and Soren, two fate-crossed lovers who meet in the drab, crumbling city of Vladivostok and flee their homeland for the Seattle sprawl, only to find life is nasty and brutish no matter where they go. That's followed by Mr. Johnson's worst nightmare—being hung out to die by the very corp he was working for. Now the guy who sent runners into the shadows must become one himself if he wants to get out of Atlanta alive. Finally, join professor and paranormal investigator Thomas McAllister as he investigates a string of supernatural serial killings and uncovers a dark conspiracy that stretches from Denver toDallas, and threatens to engulf the rest of the UCAS if he doesn't find a way to stop it. Five stories, each one a cautionary tale about the worst the Sixth World has to offer. So join both battle-scarred veterans and new recruits as they deal with the deadliest of shadows…
