Did you know? On September 26th, 2013, our friends at Harebrained Schemes launched the first-ever Shadowrun video game on mobile devices, Shadowrun Returns, on iOS and Android. #Shadowrun #History #SixthWorld #videogame #CRPG #roleplayinggame

Shadowrun Returns offers a tactical, role-playing experience that shows everything that the Sixth World has to offer in a video game format. The original creator, Jordan Weisman served as the Director of the project. The game features an in-depth character creator, a wild Shadowrun story, and immersive combat.

The game would be expanded later with the expansion-turned-full game Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Later, Harebrained Schemes would release Shadowrun: Hong Kong off of the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign where they pushed the game to new heights.

Did you know? On September 16th, 2012, the German military managed to end the rampage of the dragon Feuerschwinge over the SOX. After tearing through Germany, the damage that "Firewing" managed inflict was something that the country could not allow to stand. #Shadowrun #Lore

This was a major event early in the Awakening. This marked the first time that humanity managed to bring down a dragon. It also led to a series of conspiracies surrounding Feuerschwinge, from claims of seeing her spirit form over Iceland in 2015, to rediculous claims of her being found alive in the body of a human woman and her going through a long series of experiments for decades after.

But weirder things have happened in the Sixth World. No one has all of the answers.

On September 5th, 2061, Halley's Comet became visible in the sky across the world. While the Sixth World was entering a routine with the new normal, they weren't prepared for another shake up in the 50th year of this new normal. #Shadowrun #Lore #SixthWorld #TTRPG #roleplayinggame

It is believed that the mana levels of Halley's Comet disrupted the equalibrium developed in the wake of the Awakening. Several events coincided with it's appearance; the surfacing of orichalcum deposits, an intense eruption of radical traits in metahumanity and animals known as SURGE, the spawning of the body-stealing Shedim, and even the emergence of the great western dragon Ghostwalker.

This event became known as the Year of the Comet. And while the immediate and more potent effects of the mana surge faded over time, it irrevocably changed the Sixth World in ways that society is still grappling with today.
