Shadowrun

How I Prepare a Scene

  1. Find a source of inspiration, e.g. a source book or do an internet search for technical drawings, architecture sketches, rendered maps, etc.
  2. Draw the scene in DungeonDraft
  3. Export the drawing as Universal VTT. Grid off, Lighting on, Brightness 100%, Focus 100%, Overlay Level 100%, Camera Filter None, Grid Presets Custom, Grid PPI 100 pixels.
  4. Import the drawing into FoundryVTT. Use the Universal Battlemap Importer module for importing the scene. Image Type / Extension webp.
  5. Populate your map in Foundry VTT.

At this point you have a map. If you have added walls, doors and windows in DungeonDraft already, then these should work in Foundry VTT.

Missions for New Groups

  • Food Fight, e.g. part of the SR5E Digital Starter Box
  • Fast Food Fight, e.g. part of the SR5E Digital Starter Box
  • The Delian Data Tombs
  • Gravedirt Slinging
  • Schattentricks
  • The ShadowRun Missions have been running for many ‘seasons’, and the first two seasons are available for free from the Catalyst web site (it may take some googling to find them, but they are there). They were written back in third edition, so you’d need to change stats and matrix information – but this is actually quite easy in most cases as you can use the standard NPCs (of various grades of professionalism) either as written or at least as a reference.
