This box set was a good reintroduction to the world of shadowrun. Its leaps different from 1st edition, so it takes some getting used to.
Overall im pleased with the product and its shipping. Would order from seller again.

A great intro to SR6, and a cool resource regardless
First off, I love love LOVE the art. Beyond just a cool thing to look at, it helps set the tone. Gear cards are artless, but clean and efficient in their design. Pregen characters have some feel to them. The map is gorgeous and absolutely packed with fun little spots and hooks to use.As for the system? I know this is an intro box, so it's not the complete ruleset and all. But I REALLY like the new take on the system. The core engine is intact, and remains as elegant as ever. But now, the mountains of ticky-tack edge case rules and mountains of tables are summed up into Edge, which is A Whole Thing now. In rounds, you should expect to be getting like, 1-2 points of Edge per round, and spending it at a similar or greater clip. In my brief test, it manages to feel both tactically interesting, as well as streamlined and fast-moving. Big thumbs up from me.So why not 5 stars?Well, the intro adventure, while lovely, can't quite make up its mind what it wants to be. It assumes that the runners will involve themselves in a risky situation without a plan, or promise of a payout. While it is actually a fair fight, you can't argue against the logic of seeing superior numbers and trying to dip out, missing the tutorial adventure entirely.A quick call from their fixer solves this problem, but if this is meant for beginners - hence the name - that's not necessarily going to occur to the GM. And you don't wanna punish the players for thinking critically, quite the opposite.Other than that though, this is a great start to 6E.
