Shadowrun, Sixth World at Gen Con
By Jason Hardy, Line Developer

Gen Con is a week away, which means we’re really close to seeing lots of people from the Shadowrun community, soaking in Shadowrun games, and indulging in a number of ways to create more Shadowrun fun!

The Catalyst Demo Team will, of course, be running a ton of games during the con, and we’ll also be demoing the new Shadowrun, Sixth World rules at the booth. You can also dive into a demo of the board game Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops!

But the fun doesn’t stop there. It’s Shadowrun’s thirtieth anniversary, so we want to spread Shadowrun joy around. We’ll have a special display case of Shadowrun goodies from across the years for your viewing pleasure, and we’ll have plenty of new products for sale at the booth. Let’s get a look at the Shadowrun items you’ll be able to pick up at the con!

Hey Cubby!

We're seeing the packaging for the Dice & Edge Tokens, but I haven't seen any pictures of the actual tokens themselves. Think we can get some shots?

Also, any info on the versions of Core and maybe an example of a Rogue card? 😊 I want to know if I should get one or just use my Sprawl Ops cards.

I think I'm being dense on this, but is the price of the basic CRB at GenCon listed anywhere? Can't make the run up to the con this year so I'm trying to send someone in my place with some cash.

They do have this handy pic of the display showing all editions of Shadowrun:

Whoa, whoa, whoa... whoa...

To get 1 of the 12 statues, you have to drop $500 to get a "Super Fan Package", which includes:

One (1) Shadowrun, Sixth World core rulebook
One (1) Shadowrun, Sixth World Executive Edition book
One (1) copy of No Future
One (1) Shadowrun Dice & Edge Tokens pack
One (1) set of Rogue’s Gallery minis
One (1) Sledge statue

Then pay an additional $150 to be able to pick up the statue you already paid for in the Super fan Package?

Either they don't know how to list products, or that's big pile of bull-drek.

[Hephaestus]

Or am I reading this wrong?

[penllawen]

I don’t think there’s a right way to read that. It makes no sense.

[Singularity]

Or am I reading this wrong?

Nope, you read it correctly. They only have 12 available for sale at the Con, so if you absolutely must have one from the Con itself, then you buy the superfan package for $500, and then can buy the statue for another $150 at the listed times. Or you can just wait until they go on sale later in the year and buy it without the requirement of buying the superfan package.

[FastJack]

Yeah... I'm not so sure, since it seems to imply the statue is part of the Superfan package. I'm going to reach out to Jason for clarification.

[Hephaestus]

This would be less confusing if they just had a battle royal in the build-and-fight foam weapons pit...

I'm still upset I didn't win the Katana for the one Shadowrun tourney I was a part of. Mostly due to switching GMs between the two nights and the 2nd GM had zero notes on what we did from the 1st GM.

What a bunch of jerks...

Well, this time around you just have to drop $500... then get there at a predetermined time, possibly bare-knuckle boxing other people who also paid $500... all for the chance to pay another $150 for a collectable statue a couple months before its not a collectable anymore. Seems like a milk run.

[FastJack]

Just heard back from Jason, the total price of the package, which includes the statue, is $500. You don’t pay the extra $150.

Yeah but that doesn't explain the material or what the Corporate edition is like. =/ Is the GM-screen one Corporate? What's it like?
