So I've been thinking about playing some shadowrun for a while now, but with 6th edition I think I'll finally jump in seeing as how it's supposed to be pretty good for beginners. However, I have one big question. Is it worth it to get just one beginner box for my whole playgroup, or will each player have to get their own? I apologize if this question has already been asked, but I'm kinda new here and didn't notice any other posts here like this, so I decided to post anyways.

Normally, outside of the adventure and some cards the beginner box is only good for a collector.
In truth, all you get out of it are the dice so I would say barring that the box is useless to all but the GM.
There is no character advancement and with only one or two sittings of adventures outside of the dice you would be hard pressed to find a reason for your players to need one
That's just MHO.

Alright, good to know. I'll probably just get one then as the dice and game material inside would probably be pretty good to have seeing as how nobody I know actually has the stuff needed to play besides maybe enough d6.

Basically one box has some map material, simpler rules and a few characters to use. Only one needed.

You just need the one, and being new to Shadowrun myself I intend to get one and run it for my group to see if we like 6th edition. Here's a link to an article showing everything inside of it, along with an unboxing video (note there are only four characters with the box so if your group has more, you'll need to improvise a bit):

Rigger Dossier will also come out later which serves as fifth.

Is it too early to report errata? :P
I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9DJ_u1kFWg at 38:30, and apparently three spell cards (and their reproduction in the Quick start rules) have the same effect description: armor spell, flame strike, fire ball.
Is it an error, or just the review copy made incomplete for... reasons?
