Welcome to World's Away ShadowRun Gaming. Are you ready
to enter the true Matrix of Life??

The world is changed, some say Awakened.

A lull in the flow of mystical energies subsided, and magic returned
to the world. Elves, dwarfs, orks, and trolls assumed their true form,
throwing off their human guise. Creatures of the wild changed, too,
becoming things of myth and legend. Modern society fights on,
despite the odds, in an effort to assimilate the
ways of magic into a technological world.

The Decades that followed the Awakening were years of turmoil, panic,
and chaos, as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse seemed
to race across the Earth. Primitive cultures that had never
lost touch with their mystical past began to use magic against the
great nations that had suppressed them for so long. The vast
global telecommunications network collapsed under an assault by a
mysterious computer virus. Nuclear missiles were launched, but
failed to detonate. Dragons soared into the skies. Epidemics and famine
ravaged the world's populations. Clashes between newly Awakened races
and the rest of humanity became common. All central authority
crumbled and the world began to spiral down into a black abyss.

But man and his kin are hearty animals. Out of the devastation and
anarchy, order slowly reemerged. Cybertechnology eradicated the last
vestiges of the computer virus and replaces the old telecommunications
network with what became known as the Matrix. New nation - states of
Amerindians, elves, orks, and dwarfs were formed.
Metroplexes, vast city - states, sprawled over the
landscape. Central governments were replaced by megacorportaions that
has become a law unto themselves. People who accepted their
sovereignty were protected. The outcasts, dissidents, and rebels
were exploited and abused, continuing a condition that has existed
between the weak and the powerful sine time began.

Technology, too, has changed people. No longer only flesh, many have turned
to the artificial enhancements of cyberware to make themselves
more than human. Stronger, smarter, faster is the human of today.

In the world of 2053. the metroplexes are monsters casting long shadows. And it's
in the cracks between the giant corporate structures that shadowrunners
find their home. When the megacorps want a job done but they don't want
to dirty their hands, its a shadowrun they need, and they turn to the runners
who are the only ones who can do it. Though a shadowrunner's existence
is not listed in any government or corporate database, the demand for
his or her services is high. She might be a decker, sliding like
a whisper through the visualized databases of giant corporations,
spiriting away the only thing of real value - information. Or perhaps he
is a street samurai, an enforcer for hire whose combat skills and
reflexes make him the ultimate urban predator. Or perhaps he or she
is a magician, possessing an ancient gift, the ability to wield and
shape the magical energies that now surround the Earth.

And that's exactly the kind of firepower you'll need if you
get hired to make a ShadowRun.
