It’s always a simple job, isn’t it? In Nils Stüber’s New Dangers in New Places, that’s what Duke Peter of Petine said when he hired the 3rd-level party to escourt him, his dog Bello, and his mule George to the port. Well, it wouldn’t be an adventure if it was as easy as it was described now would it?

Oh and if you want to play Shadowrun Sixth World Edition, a lot of these books are still useful as background lore and worldbuilding.
