Newer Hacker Cards

Wraith235 took my ball and ran with it with this set of cards, updated to include information from SR4A and Unwired. These cards were made with the Magic Set Editor, originally designed for Magic: the Gathering, but reworked for use with Shadowrun.

Wraith235 didn't stop there. He's also created a comprehensive list of Matrix actions, complete with dice pools (and in some cases, dice pool modifiers and rules).

Classic Hacker Cards

I've made a deck of cards for hackers in Shadowrun, Fourth Edition. Now you can see which programs you have loaded in your commlink, or use them as a reference for your complex forms. Either way, you'll enjoy the useful information on each card, which lets you know what each program does and what you need to roll.

The cards need to be printed and cut out. I highly recommend putting them in card sleeves along with a card to back them; I use some old Shadowrun CCG cards I have lying about. The circles just above the text are for you to fill in, to show the rating of each of your programs.

Shadowrun Dice

Here are some pics of my Shadowrun dice. I just took some blue dice with white pips, colored the 1 with a red Sharpie, and the 2-4 with a blue one. I can't begin to tell you how easy it's made rolling dice and finding hits, and it's relatively simple to make a set. The hardest part is finding dice that are close enough to a Sharpie color to make the unnecessary pips vanish, or at least very hard to see. I highly recommend using dice that have white pips; they're a lot easier to color, and very easy to see if you are using darkly-colored dice.

GamingInit

Kory sent me a nifty little combat manager for Windows called GamingInit. It tracks initiative and timed effects for players and NPCs. It even handled multiple initiative passes. He also wanted me to mention that he's releasing it into the public domain, so feel free to play with it.

knasser's Harlequinn Write-Up

For the record, the inclusion of the character Harlequinn in anything makes me sad. However, I did offer to host all of knasser's stuff, and so here it is: a write-up of Harlequinn by knasser. It is somehow poetic that the file is formatted for A4 paper.

knasser's Structure and Design Philosophy of the Matrix

Have no fear, this document is not tech-heavy at all. Our pal knasser came up with this document in hopes of ... well, I'm not sure. It's an essay on the design of the Matrix, I guess. Also formatted for A4.

Racism is still rampant in the Sixth World, and this document (a treatise with some shadowtalk) addresses it. Like all of knasser's work, it's done up on that A4 paper that those durn furriners like t' use.

If you think Shadowrun doesn't have enough unicorns, well, knasser agrees with you. Here are Fourth Edition stats for a unicorn, ready for your team to ... ah ... befriend. Just remember to use A4-sized napkins when you "befriend" it.
