Joining companies putting together introductory packages to entice new players, Catalyst Game Labs is releasing a Shadowrun Beginner Box Set this December. It does seem as if there’ll be a bit less in the Shadowrun box than in other sets we’ve seen (D&D and Pathfinder as examples) with a 24 page universe primer, quick start rules, pregenerated characters, and dice to be included in the mix. The Shadowrun Beginner Box brings gamers into the cyberpunk/fantasy world of tomorrow and will carry an MSRP of $24.99.
About the set:
The Shadowrun Beginner Box is the easiest way to dive into the intrigue, grit and action of one of the most enduring role-playing settings of all time!

Quick-Start Rules: Fast rules and a quick adventure to whet your appetite for more. A pre-generated booklet: Allows for a gamemaster and one person to run a solo adventure. 4 pre-generated character sheets: Details that’ll allow up to four players to play with the help of a gamemaster.
