#hardtargets

So many PDFs (and print preorder) goodies coming available now! 

For all three books, showing off their covers, along with an internal page showcasing more art!

First up is Hard Targets, a big, beefy Deep Shadows sourcebook! 

Then we’ve got Boundless Mercy, a compilation of convention missions.

And finally, a PDF-only in our Shadows in Focus Sioux Nation series, Counting Coup!

Enjoy the shadows, chummers!

Been some crazy exciting days for BattleTech (and plenty more to come), but lets get some Sixth World action spinning here. Shadowrun Hard Targets is just about off to the printer, so sharing some more art for this book.

I love the atmosphere on this piece from artist D. Hovey (I immediately had Operation: Mindcrime starting to spin through my head).

I love color as much as the next person, but there are times that the best of the Sixth World is captured in B&W...and Eric Williams is one of the best at that, IMO.

And i had to include this one, ‘cause Laubenstein!!!!

Enjoy!

Cover illustration just came in for Shadowrun: Hard Targets. Here’s the back cover description of the book:

It’s thick. Luxurious. Concealing. The cloak of death will make you feared, envied, and maybe even wealthy. It will also smother your soul. The best assassins in the Sixth World can gain untold wealth and make the whole world shake, but they also will be hunted and stalked until the end of their days. Assuming their conscience doesn’t eat them alive.

Hard Targets is a shadow runner’s guide to bringing death, with information on getting into wetwork, tactics for doing the job, and critical gear. It also contains plot details and adventure hooks, including an in-depth look at the city of Havana in the Caribbean League, a political and criminal hotspot that lends itself to all sorts of wetwork jobs. The work is there—if you can deaden your soul enough to take it.

Hard Targets is a Deep Shadows book for use with Shadowrun, Fifth Edition.

And the cover illustration!

Enjoy!

That time for more art for the coming Hard Targets sourcebook, from Kenneth Fairclough.

Here’s the original art notes:

“Loose Ends”  - This is a 6th World execution scene, with a MegaCorp city in the far background and an execution in the middle ground silhouetted against the distant city scene.  We want an image very similar to the attached “LooseEndsReference”, but with a city more in line with the attached SR5 city scenes.  The image from your portfolio called “apoc-down-8” is a great example of exactly the type of scene we are going for.

And the art:

And time for some more art for the coming Hard Targets sourcebook, from Kenneth Fairclough.

Here’s the original art notes:

“Guachinango Barrens” - A muddy, polluted river flows slowly through clusters of huts built amid palm trees. While the general atmosphere is squalid, there is a hut with an open door, and inside people can be seen; they are dressed like the SanteriaShamans[web] reference, and they are calling forth magic power so that there is a blue glow in the middle of their ritual circle. A tough-looking ork in green fatigues is standing near the door, arms folded, ready to challenge anyone who might become overly curious about the ritual.

And here’s Kenneth’s great interpretation!

Enjoy!

A slew of art is piling in for Shadowrun: Hard Targets. We’ll provide some more details in the near future on what this product covers, but for now...wanted to start with this great illustration (from artist Bruno Balixia).

Awakened critter action!
