Sprawl Sitesis an invaJuabJe reference tool for theShadowrungame universe.Gamemasters wiJl find here an abundance of information and ideas for bringing toJife the strange, wonderfuJ, and horrifying urban SprawJ of the year 2050 . Theopening essay . Life On A Limb, sets the scene . How often might one see aMetahuman waJking down the street, for instance, or how many times is the averageguy Jikely to see a Dragon in his Jife?

The chapter on Location Archetypes presents in detaiJ more than 30 Jocationsin the SprawJ, from residences and restaurants to chop shops and shadow techstores . Each location also includes notes on what kinds of other characters wouldJikeJy be present on the scene, as well as a map . Gamemasters will especiallyappreciate this section in those emergency moments when running an adventurerequires them to come up with a Jocation unexpectedJy and fast.

At the heart of the book is Sprawl Encounters, a section for generating randomencounters, foJJowed by core descriptions of more than 130 encounters typicaJ ofvarious streets and neighborhoods of the Sprawl . The gamemaster may sometimes

use these verbatim, or other times may find that an encounter offers the germ of anidea for an altogether different incident . Some encounters are interconnected so thatthe gamemaster may interweave characters and pJot threads over the course oftime. Some aJso offer the basis for whoJe adventures . or even a series of adventures,that he might create for his players . Most of the encounters are open-ended enoughthat the gamemaster can fJesh out the missing details to suit his particular Shadow-run group and gaming style.

Contacts And Archetypes presents eight new Archetypes and 34 new Contacts

to supplement those in the Shadowrun basic rules . In some cases, the gamemas-ter shouJd note that weapons or cyberware carried by some of the Archetypes and

Contacts are drawn from the Shadowrun source book . Street Samurai CataJog.Sprawl Law provides background on the Jaws and leveJs of Jaw enforcement in

different areas of the SprawJ . Also in this section is a Jist of JegaJ offenses ranging frompossession of a weapon to premeditated murder and the average fine and/or prisonterms those offenses carry . Finally, the chapter on Credsticks and IDs explains the

how and why of each, both the reaJ and the forged kind.

Sprawl Sites is intended as much as a source of ideas as a reference . Every

gamemaster and every Shadowrun game is unique . Elements that fit welJ into one

campaign may be iJJ-suited to another . Thus wiJJ gamemasters feeJ free to make any

and aJJ changes necessary to make the hundreds of ideas in this book work for them

and their players.
