Shadowrun: Anarchy 2050

Anarchy 2050 takes place in the old-school setting of the 2050s, not the late 2070s like for the 6th Edition. That means the tech level is much lower, like '80s cyberpunk with leather jackets, punk mohawks, 80’s glam metal/rocker, and bulky keyboards instead of sleek ARO displays. So this image is meant to give a sense of nostalgia for the early Shadowrun aesthetic for the old 1st Edition Shadowrun. These four are some of the most legendary shadowrunners in the game line, especially for fans of the 2050s era. The iconic trio were first introduced in Larry Elmore's fantastic cover painting for Shadowrun: First Edition (1989). They are the Mage Sally Tsung, the Native American Street Samurai Ghost-Who-Walks-Inside (sometimes called the Ghost Maker), and the legendary elven Decker Dodger. While also included in the composition, the Street Samurai Kham the Ork, he was leader of a large ork family in the barrens and part of Sally Tsung's crew.
