Shadowrun: Fifth Edition Core Rulebook (Master Index Edition)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE
 
There are cracks in the world. They’re slender, dark, and often cold, but they are the only things that keep you hidden. Keep you alive. They are the shadows of the world, and they are where you live.
 
You are a shadowrunner, thriving in the margins, doing the jobs no one else can. You have no office, no permanent home, no background to check. You are whatever you make yourself. Will you seek justice? Sow seeds of chaos? Sell out to the highest bidder? It’s up to you, but this much is certain: If you do nothing, the streets will eat you alive.
 
You can survive, even flourish, as long as you do what it takes. Sacrifice part of your soul for bleeding-edge gear. Push the limits of your will learning new and dangerous magic. Wire yourself into the Matrix, making your mind one with screaming streams of data. It’ll cost you something—everything does—but you can make it worth the price.
 
Shadowrun, Fifth Edition is the newest version of one of the most popular and successful role-playing worlds of all time, a fusion of man, magic, and machine in a dystopian near-future. With rules for character creation, magic, combat, Matrix hacking, rigging, and more, you have everything you need to face the challenges of the Sixth World.
 
*****
 
Building on the award-winning Shadowrun, Fourth Edition rule set, the new edition brings the game forward while preserving the fun that has made it so enduring.
 
Here are some highlights of the new edition:
  • Grittier & Deadlier: The down-and-dirty Sixth World setting is a place where shadowrunners need to count their bullets carefully and be cautious about whom they trust. Fifth Edition rules reflect that, making players aware of their choices and the price they have to pay to be the best. It also supports deadlier combat, while still making sure the player characters can stay alive long enough to take care of business.
  • Streamlined Matrix: Matrix rules have been improved and streamlined, bringing them more in line with the rest of the game and making them more intuitive. Running the Matrix has never been easier.
  • Increased Gear Options: Changes in Fifth Edition mean there are more functions for gear, which leads to an increased variety of the toys shadowrunners love!
  • Faster Character Creation and More Player Aids: New to Shadowrun and eager to hit the streets as quickly as possible? Fifth Edition’s character creation rules make it faster and easier to create a full-fledged character and dive into the shadows. Additionally, from an expanded gamemaster advice section to pre-generated gear kits, Shadowrun, Fifth Edition has tools and resources to help players quickly get into the game and onto the streets.
Now, the Shadowrun, Fifth Edition Core Rulebook includes a Master Index that covers all the Fifth Edition core books!

The PDF is locked, and I cannot add my own bookmarks. Ridiculous.

Page 374-375 of the current Master Index edition is supposed to have lifestyle information but instead have a story, the bookmark also goes the story. Once the story ends it just jumps to helps and hindrances.

Legally? Probably not. They should add a POD option, though.

When is this going to be updated with the large amount of errata that has accumulated since 2016 and only exists in forum posts?

Is there a Master Index somewhere separate? Already have the 5th ed. book, but would like the Master Index.

Catalyst, isn't it dishonest to list all your pdf's as on sale when the normal price is for the print product?

The issue with the display is probably related to the final 4 pages of this file, they are formatted to be 4 pages wide and are completely disrupting how the document displays even on desktops. I wish they had not locked the file so I could extract or delete them so the formatting issues could be resolved

Just downloaded Shadowrun 5th Edition (Master Index Edition [Fourth Printing, Corrected]), and using Foxit Reader 8.1.4.1208, it opens up just fine.

My only issue, and a very minor one, is that if you click the link in the Table of Contents for the SR5 Master Index, the hyperlink doesn't work.

That's the fault of the company that uploaded it. They should make sure it is working fine.

Any word yet when the file is going to be repaired? Every time I download it, it will not open, and I've seen tons of other people complaining about the same thing.

Not sure what you mean by this. Essentially it's the 5th edition rule set and it has the last errata applied.

Is there a possibility to get this book in printed format? If so, where and how can I get a copy?

You can order a copy from amazon.com and from Catalyst Game Store, but to be honest I have always had a hard time order from their old website and every time I have visited their new site it's nothing but crap. Hopefully they will get it fixed, but it's been pretty bad ever since they launched it.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
