Format:Hardcover
This book is a must for both Shadowrun gamesmasters and for the interested player.
This book is set out as a mix of timeline (of the main events in the Shadowrun history from present day to present setting date), geographical information (of all the countries in the Shadowlands universe and important points about them) and general tattle from the characters in the form of the the FastJack users commentary.
Whilst the last would be very familiar to anyone who has read any of the Shadowrun books I have to say that the sheer amount of very interesting subjects and opinions is very refreshing to a long term reader.
Also to be lauded are the huge number of plot hooks that are created by the Almanac that will be very useful for anyone running a Shadowrun game.
As always the artwork is of the highest standard, with the mix of Japanese and Western techno styles that give Shadowrun its unique imagery that is bound to impress.
Finally the short stories are there which always seems to give the reader some new insight into the game setting through the experiences of other(sometimes less fortunate) shadowrunners.
I would heartily recommend you buy this book, if only just as a resource for the future.

Running in the 6th World, Chummer
1 April 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The 6th World has changed, and this book is a roadmap to how things got like they did in 2072. Boasting and delivering over 100 pages of Shadowrun history and a by-region Atlas of the Shadowrun world (with a full color map), this book is a good add to any collection. Perfect for veterans and new players alike.
The history section includes some colorful ShadowLAN commentary from staple veteran runners that have persisted through the evolution of the storyline, which maintains that distinctive shadowrun duplicity of what's believed and what really happened - without spoiling the conspiracy...
Natch, I highly recommend this supplement for any Shadowrunner's library. Remember, chummers: chin up, head down eyes forward; never trust an elf, and never, ever deal with a dragon.

Nice fluff book for Shadowrun
4 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are a fan of Shadowrun and are looking to add more knowledge to your repertoire this book is great. It fills in lots of gaps in the setting and adds lots of neat little facts about nations, history and more. Overall a fun, pretty, as well as interesting book. NOT to be confused as a rulebook! This is purely fluff.
Great Suppliment
6 April 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is a good supplemental to anybody becoming immersed in a shadowrun campaign. I was surprised at it's extensiveness. Unfortunately the price went down $3 immediately after I bought it. That is my only gripe. It is by no means a necessity but fluff to a vivid and expansive universe.
