What is Shadowrun 6th Edition?
Shadowrun, Sixth World is the current edition of the classic cyberpunk-fantasy RPG. It is the 2080s: the Awakening brought magic back, metahumanity (elves, dwarfs, orks, trolls) walks the streets, dragons sit on megacorporate boards, and shadowrunners do the deniable dirty work the corps cannot be seen doing. You play a runner: part criminal, part specialist, part survivor, taking jobs from anonymous Mr. Johnsons in a world where the real power holds an extraterritorial charter.
How Shadowrun 6th Edition works
Official SR6 character creation uses the Priority Table: you rank metatype, attributes, skills, magic, and resources from A to E, and the table tells you what each rank buys. RPG Stack's builder takes the practical route: pick your metatype and archetype, then enter the final values your concept calls for.
Key game mechanics
5 metatypes: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Ork, Troll
d6 dice pools: Attribute + Skill, hits on 5s and 6s
Edge economy: earn and spend tactical advantage every combat round
19 consolidated skills covering combat, Matrix, magic, and social play
Five paths: Mundane, Magician, Adept, Aspected Magician, Technomancer
Glitches: half or more 1s complicates the roll, with no hits it turns critical
