Scotophobia establishes the main Shadowrun plotline for the next year. Building on the foundation of previous books such as Cutting Black, Slip Streams, Collapsing Now, The Third Parallel, and Astral Ways, it details a nefarious metaplanar plot that could cripple the Sixth World and what runners can do to stop it. With plot hooks, immersive text, and campaign ideas, this sets the stage for exciting, dramatic games for all Shadowrun players.
