If you are playing Shadowrun or if you are simply interested in more world information you have to get this book. And absolute must if your players plan on having a base of operations, or even if they are not you have to get this one to get all you can out of the game. The info on alternate player races comes in handy for those who want a break from the norm and the survival tips give some good ideas on how to keep your runner alive long enough to start scoring those high paying jobs.

Runner's Companion for 4th edition Shadowrun is a very good book to have. I introduces all of the Metatypes, Vampires, AI's, Drakes, and sapient critters, as well as offering advice on Shadowrun in general.

It also has Lifestyle options, more Qualities, SURGE qualities, and so on.

All in all, a very good book to have.

This book adds quite a few options including creating infected player characters and even sub-species for all the meta characters. Like the other books it also adds a few more qualities. I would only recommend this book to those that have played the game before, would also recommend getting the other books first as they are more beneficial to the players.

Runner's companion

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2009

The first two versions of the Shadowrun Companions were something of a mixed bag of goodies consisting of stuff the designers wished they'd put in the core gamebook. With SR4 the designers have had their wish and as a result this verison is more focused on Character Creation Concepts. This starts with roles for characters and hints and tips for running and playing a good campaign before progressing to alternative character generation rules, then rules for creating Metahuman varients, changlings, drakes, the Infected (Vampire: Shadowrun anyone?), Sapient Critters, Shapeshifters, AI's and Free Spirits. After all that there's a heap of new qualities then expanded rules for contacts and a selection of new contacts, followed by the Advanced Lifestyle System that first appeared in the Sprawl Survival Guide (with a few new lifestyle qualities to take the changes in setting into account). Finally it finishes up with a look at a shadowrun from multiple veiwpoints. Overall this is a very good book especially for players but GM's will also find it useful for coming up with something a bit unusual to throw at players. The only reason I won't say this book will statisfy the most fussy player is that I know just how fussy players can be!

Must get

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012

If you want to play Shadowrun, Runner's Companion is definitely a must get. I picked up the PDF version and they have done a great job of adding new information to character creation.

I very much enjoyed the discussion of runner roles, as someone new to Shadowrun. Same for the tips section.

The metavariants is worth the price of admission, especially for changelings. The expansion of contacts for a group is a nice touch. I won't use the advanced lifestyle rules, but I like the explanation of what they mean - helps to give more detail for the world.

Hier biete sich eine neue Welt in der bereits sehr großen Welt von Shadowrun. Klare Empfehlung, damit nicht jeder Meta-Typ nur derselbe ist, so bekommt hier jeder Meta-Typ nochmal vier Sub-Typen. Einfach klasse.
