The Index

Welcome to the index.

This guide is premerally a collection of links to information relating to modding shadowrun returns. Think of it as a prostetic, collective memory for the SRR modding community here on steam.

if your getting into this, your really going to need to read Shadowrun returns Wiki[shadowrun-returns.wikispaces.com]. The wiki contains excillent tutorials on the use of the editor, as well as the addition of other material such as custom art assets. If you want to make mods for shadowrun returns, you need to read this sit.

There is a hell of a lot of shadowrun material out there, but not all of it fits well with Shadowrun Returns.

Shadowrun returns takes place in the 2050's, so it you'll probably want to check out Shadowrun 1st edition[rpg.drivethrustuff.com], and the Seattle sourcebook 1st edition[rpg.drivethrustuff.com] at the very least.

You can additionally get other cool and interesting setting reading for both 1st edition and 2nd edition Here[rpg.drivethrustuff.com] and Here[rpg.drivethrustuff.com]

You can also find a quick guide to shadowrun slang Here[www.shadowruntabletop.com]

In this section we talk about Mapping. The basics of mapping are simple, and any chummer can put together a basic area using these skills. However, mastery of this takes practice.

HBS has put together two tutorial videos, covering the basics. They are an great place to start.
