Bios are tough. I'm an author and game designer based out of Tokyo. I've a soft spot for horror, urban fantasy, and science fiction. I write about vampires, about social issues, and the intersection of mythology and real life. I believe stories about monsters are actually stories about people, and that every good story about monsters is a story about the way people live and interact.
Should I have written that in the third person? That'd be weird, wouldn't it? "Olivia Hill is an author and game designer based out of..." It's really awkward, if you know I'm writing it about myself. But isn't this commentary kind of meta anyway? Is this really the purview of author bio? Do I really need to be worrying about this when the world could fall apart at any minute? Should I really be writing books when I only have a limited time on this earth, and could theoretically be doing something more meaningful? Does anything have meaning?
Long story short, you should buy my books. Because what if they're actually very important? What if they change the world, the way Bill & Ted changed the world with Wyld Stallyns? Wouldn't you want to be part of that before it's a thing?

Running in the 6th World, Chummer

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2011

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.

Cool stuff, but not essential

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

Most of Sixth World Almanac is taken up with little capsule descriptions of the people, governments and conditions of the various nations and regions of the Sixth World in 2072. The material is great as background for developing PCs or NPCs as well as dangling possible story hooks. It is not critical to running a campaign in Seattle, Denver or any of the other established campaign sites, but is quite handy if you want more of a "globetrotter" campaign. It also comes with a really cool global map, which is almost worth the price by itself. One small annoyance is that the material is not especially well organized and the index is rudimentary at best. Otherwise it is a worthwhile bell and/or whistle for the Shadowrun devotee.

Nice fluff book for Shadowrun

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2011

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

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2012

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.

Excelente suplemento de trasfondos

Reviewed in Spain on September 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

El almanaque de shadowrun es un excelente suplemento de trasfondos que contiene, basicamente, una linea temporal de todos los acontecimientos desde 1999 hasta 2072, además de una breve introducción a muchas de las regiones del mundo donde es posible que se desarrollen las incursiones (aunque me sigue pareciendo muy mal que incluya Inglaterra, Francia e Italia entre otros pero no España).

Si bien el timeline se limita a contar lo que ha pasado, la descripcion de cada país es una breve descripcion de la zona, ciudades importantes, puntos interesantes, corporaciones... sin entrar en demasiado detalle, dando así capacidad creativa al grupo de juego.

En resumen, realmente interesante para los jugadores de SR.
