Announced as part of Shadowrun's twentieth anniversary celebration, the Runner's Toolkit contains essentials for groups on their first run or for experienced groups who want important resources in an easy-to-use format. Resources in the set include a gamemaster's screen, a pre-generated auxiliary character and kit system, a collection of essential tables from all of the core rulebooks, a copy of the introductory adventure On the Run, heavy-duty reference sheets covering a variety of common game tasks, and a booklet with sample contacts and adventure seeds.

The Runner's Toolkit will be a handy reference for anyone playing Shadowrun, making it easier for beginners to start playing and for veterans to keep the game moving.
